Check out Blue Build for building custom Fedora Atomic images.
You create a GitHub repo using their helper website and use yaml. They even have some useful modules specific to desktops (that would have been a huge pain to do in Dockerfiles)

That actually sounds like a fun afternoon with Blue-Build.


Why does that exclude the Chinese government from being authoritarian?


No, sadly not. Maybe it’s implemented in Fish?


Only so I don’t have to turn down the volume, and turn it back up when the episode starts.


It uses the Xen hypervisor, not qemu/KVM. Technically it is a Xen kernel virtualizing Linux since it is a type 1 hypervisor.
TBH i used to alt-tab away from what ever non-work-related thing i was doing, to a terminal emulator when ever my boss walked in.
It was usually showing my latest package upgrade.


I think you mean Cole’s Law


Lots of people have already mentioned Ventoy.
MediCat is Ventoy with a ton of images and a config file. It seems great, although I chose to roll my own as MediCat had a lot of Windows-centric images i have no need for.

But not in a “fuck you world, I’ll do what I want” kinda way. More of a “I wanna watch it burn” kinda way.
Concerning you RAID, just make sure the installer doesn’t touch it and mount it afterwards. You might have to do some kind of “restore” to give the files the needed SELinux metadata. The Discourse forum would probably be a good place to ask.
Now, a bit about DNF vs RPM-OSTree. Fedora with DNF is the standard distro much like most other distros. Use this if the next part doesn’t sound useful to you.
RPM-OSTree is used in a new family of distro that work a bit like git for your OS.
Your system runs off an “atomic” image. Atomic means unsplittable in Greek. Everything you change on your system is applied to your atomic image, like a file is added or removed from a git repo.
This is nice because upgrading to the next major version becomes a simple matter of rebasing you changes on top of the new version, and likewise, rolling back (in case of issues) becomes a single command and a reboot.
Fedora IoT is the “Server” edition of the Atomic desktops. Fedora CoreOS is a more “immutable” approach.
Feel free to ask more questions if something doesn’t make sense.
Oh how sweet is the irony of the bigots in this thread, who thinks the tag is there to “free” from them from seeing gay people holding hands and kissing, when it’s actually there because bigots have outlawed being gay some places.
By “heavily homosexual”, do you mean pornographic? Because that’s a separate tag.
Edit: typo.
That argument is obviously wrong.
Homosexuality (and other sexualities) exist in nature. This is not uncommon knowledge.
Also, the whole “they don’t make babies so they’re unnatural” thing. How long have you thought this argument through?
Humans and animals are born sterile, they grow too old and become infertile. All of that happens in nature.
That fantasy world of yours is verifiably not how nature works, and it wouldn’t take you more than 5 minutes to disprove the bullsh*t.
It makes it hard to believe you are arguing in good faith.


Thanks for the recommendation, stranger. I’m gonna watch that!


My favorite movie is probably Brazil (1985). It’s a dystopian movie, but the population is suppressed by absurd amounts a bureaucracy (also the state surveiling and killing it’s people). You need to fill out a form to fill out a form, and every screen is tiny, but magnified by a lens to be small instead.
But what I really love about it is the the “terrorist” Archibald Tuttle (who, very much, is not the protagonist); a repair man, who risks execution by the state, zip lining around the city fixing things like the protagonist’s air condition.
I think we should all strive to be more like Tuttle in our daily lives.


Grounded danish plugs don’t fit Schuko sockets, but Schuko plugs fit danish sockets (but aren’t grounded).
This leads to a staggering amount of ungrounded devices in Denmark, as most are imported and making a variant for such a tiny country isn’t profitable.
Fun fact: the danish power plug was created by Lauritz Knudsen, a Danish company who had a monopoly. They are the reason Denmark uses this plug as the only country in the world, and Schuko only became legal to install in houses quite recently, so 99% of houses still use their standard.
LK has since been bought out by Schneider Electric but we are still stuck with our special plug and most imported devices are still ungrounded.
Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk.


I run the built-in automatic rpm-ostree upgrade service every 6 hours.
If you think that’s too inefficient, maybe read the docs for shutdown.target and see if you can use that to run an upgrade service before shutdown?
I’m not too experienced with that part of systemd but it seems like it could be a “proper” way to run things on shutdown?


Use a passphrase (not a password) and a physical security key, like a yubikey. It also supports TOTP or whatever 2fa Proton uses, you just connect it with a laptop or phone and it gives you a key.
A physical key is much more secure than 2fa from a password manager (although both are probably fine)
I have fucked up my computer so many times.
I have also succeeded with some really cool stuff, but that’s the thing about working with computers; you fail completely, until it works perfectly. This is of course a gross simplification, but it also has a lot of truth to it. There’s just not a lot “this is not great, but it will do”, it either functions or it fails (until you get it working and start fine tuning it for the rest of you life)
Just laugh at the absurdity of the situation when you realize you were just missing a comma in a JSON file, and don’t let it bother you that you didn’t notice before you paid to have your second floor covered in aluminium foil trying to fix the issue.
Try creating a VM in GNOME Boxes (if you use GNOME) or Virt-manager, take a snapshot, so you can easily repeat this process, and break it. Just make it stop functioning. Do it in an interesting way, and look up more ways on the internet.
Be curious, have fun and don’t feel bad about getting sick of that stupid computer, you can come back later and it won’t care that you even left.
