36·19 days ago@Liketearsinrain @pglpm An init system is not a kitchen. There isn’t supposed to be a sink there in the first place.

Linux@programming.dev•Is it possible to use the camera from my android phone instead of my laptop camera?
21·20 days ago@onlinepersona Search for an app called something along the lines of ‘IPcam’.
@csantosb Thanks for that, there are some interesting things to note in there.

Linux@programming.dev•Help! Does anyone on the bus know Linux?

Khleedril@cyberplace.socialtoGuix@lemmy.ml•Running guix package manager on top of Fedora Silverblue
1·2 months ago@paequ2 Well, this appears to be somewhat out of date now. I would say that I have managed to bork systems in the past, but it hasn’t happened in the last 15 months, so I think bugs have been shaken out of the system and it is very stable today (just do not under any circumstances touch the store!)
Good luck running it on Silverblue, please let us know how you get on.

Linux@programming.dev•Business distributions vs. Community distributions
1·2 months ago@Maragato Ah I see, I was thinking of consumer businesses rather than producer businesses. In that case I would definitely opt for community-produced distros, every time.

Linux@programming.dev•Business distributions vs. Community distributions
11·2 months ago@Maragato A business worth investing in would go for a wholesale distribution, like Debian or Slackware, rather than a retail one like Ubuntu or Red Hat. I don’t recognize the term ‘business distribution.’
@one_old_coder @moonpiedumplings The source distribution was #slackware the destination will be a successor of #guix ;)
EDIT: 😂 Please let me apologize. I read your question out of the context in which it was meant! I thought you were speaking in biblical terms. Still, food for thought…
