Funny, I use that name not so long. Currently hyperfocused on Fedora Discuss, Lemmy and Github.
Although I should really change my stuff to some Forgejo instance and just mirror to Github.
I thought a lot about tech resiliance in the last days, I am from germany and the people here are stupid. They literally elect people that will make a neofascist surveillance hell reality.
I wonder how Tor, Tails and others handle their code stuff. Apart from selfhosting their services of course. Like resiliance, I think decentralized code repos are crucial.
I really like how uBlue just used the official Fedora OCI images (that they produce but dont even use) and used all the container tooling to create this awesome project.
But relying on Github is insane, it is owned by Microsoft and they dont give a damn about freedom. It is pretty scary, 90% of my Android apps are also on Github.
I want to build my own variant, KDE and minimal only, maybe GNOME if contributors join. But no more, all the freedom is great but it is huge maintenance.
H.264 is patent-encumbered so they can’t
I thought Ciscos trick could fix that? They are a huge company, pay the max amount of money already and can just share the software with their license to anyone.
inside the Fedora Flatpak
Not sure if that is the best way. Flatpak has runtime extensions, and rpmfusion could build one for the entire ffmpeg and more. This could just be added from an external repo and installed along.
Or they include openh264 in their runtime.
Fedora Flatpaks got quite a boost recently and even have some KDE apps not on Flathub.
the only way to trust it’s built from the same sources is to reproduce the build.
Well… rpmfusion could do that? And act like a “3rd party auditor” ?
doesn’t have support for High 10 Profile video which is fairly common off the web
Interestesting, never heard that. I use Celluloid Flatpak which is pretty great (I wish Haruna would get their basics together like customizable UI, working subtitles, working queue etc).
So the only reason to have ffmpeg is nice terminal stuff, Dolphin extensions or just video previews in Dolphin. Nautilus supports that via a Flatpak right? Thats cool.
we can stop talking about it. I am so sick of talking about H.264.
Fuck patents. I am happy that we now have AV1 and dont really know why VP9 is not more used? It is a pain!
Call it a personal challenge or whatever
I have a command text file with the exact command I need to reproduce my install. One for Fedora Kinoite, one for Kinoite-main.
It is just a few packages and I really only need the things I mentioned.
I also dont like Aurora or others that much, they have too much stuff added.
That’s not true if you’re using Flathub packages.
True, Flatpak is cool. Dolphin is also available as one, I need to test if it works with Flatpak ark and all that, udisks2, mounting stuff, MTP, maybe SMB.
prefer Toolbox to Distrobox
Interesting, why? I need to try it again.
Do you know btw how to upgrade a F39 distrobox to F40? Distrobox has some “assemble” function to rebuild it with a config file. But traditional dnf system-upgrade doesnt work.
It’s probably the same reason you use KDE and I use GNOME (most of the time).
Why? Curious.
No uBlue uses Anaconda too, which is a whole set of stuff. They are testing the new UI (a component of Anaconda) for workstation exclusively.
uBlue pioneered in making Anaconda work for installing OCI rpm-ostree btw
