I find that often the reason more-flexible OSes get a rep for fragility is they tend to be used by people like me: people who want to make their computer optimized in some way.
We tend to then configure to the limits of our knowledge and introduce delightful little edge cases. Less flexibility in an OS stops us from doing that, but then we’re unhappy for a different reason
The last time I built a laptop, I decided I’d leave the ultra-tuned stuff on my desktop and just use Manjaro with minimal customization. The only “fragility” I have experienced in 3 years is some frankly minor dependency hell: and that only with some AUR packages
I don’t think #Linux is actually fragile: it just won’t get in the way of me building a fragile system.

Gli ultimi otto messaggi ricevuti dalla Federazione

Il 31 ottobre, in una mossa che rivela la gravità della situazione, l’Ucraina ha lanciato un’operazione ad alto rischio. Un elicottero Black Hawk Uh-60 ha sbarcato un gruppo di 15-20 operatori delle forze speciali Hur (Intelligence Militare) nei sobborghi nord-occidentali di Pokrovsk, nella zona industriale già contestata dalle truppe d’assalto russe.

“Le cose si stanno sviluppando secondo lo scenario peggiore”, ha ammesso un ufficiale della difesa a Ukrainska Pravda, “Pokrovsk sta collassando troppo velocemente; non ce lo aspettavamo. Se #Pokrovsk cade, non ci sarà via d’uscita per le unità di #Myrnohrad.”

> Eh ma la propaganda sconcia della Zakharova, che brutta roba, come se non fosse vero che ogni euro delle tasse che prende altre destinazioni, tipo il progetto fallimentare dei lager in Albania ma anche il progetto folle del riarmo per miliardi, non venga tolto dalle necessità primarie dei cittadini

@strght I remember Mailspring to be aesthetically pleasing (https://www.getmailspring.com/), and otherwise Thunderbird is always a trusty option.

@NitP wonderful to know, thank you Nit!
Quick question: do you think a Pi3 could run PiHole?
-
@christopher ah yes, I understand! The purpose of my experiment is to set up Jellyfin on my Pi5 but only for music... because videos may be too much for it.
I hear there are more targeted solutions for FOSS personal music streaming services, but from what I understand Jellyfin is the best at metadata and album cover art. Willing to try this

Not In God’s Name. Confronting Religious Violence
Too often in the history of religion, people have killed in the name of the God of life, waged war in the name of the God of peace, hated in the name of the God of love and practised cruelty in the name of the God of compassion. When this happens, God speaks, sometimes in a still, small voice almost inaudible beneath the clamour of those claiming to speak on his behalf. What he says at such times is: Not in My Name.

@Raffy_Baffy Mia cognata e suo marito stessa cosa. Hanno un bilanciamento vita/lavoro (entrambi) che qui ce lo sogniamo.
Li invidio moltissimo, ma poi penso anche, cazzo, possibile che una debba trasferirsi in un altro Paese, e poi dover fare i salti mortali per vedere chi ha lasciato "di qua", per vivere decentemente?
