@gxtony Interestingly, LFS folks on the IRC claim the opposite. They recommended bare metal. I'm not sure there's a significant difference. You'll have to do your research for both, and compile all relevant drivers into your kernel (virtio in my case).Not sure about CPU firmware, I thought this was only relevant to mitigate vulnerabilities. Did you manage to boot ultimately?

@murtezayesil @gxtony Oh yeah, dependency management is a PITA. Decided to go with the Firefox version from the development book as recommended by the errata page due to newly found vulnerabilities. Ended up recompiling half of the dependencies for another day, including Rust and LLVM...I don't understand Slackware people 😆

@Citizenzibb @murtezayesil @gxtony I guess even a plain package manager unaware of dependencies helps tremendously to update things in a clean manner. But how do you keep track? In your head?

@murtezayesil @Citizenzibb @gxtony The second one sounds amazing. Could sell it to visitors as a giant conspiracy wall 🤣 Think I'll stick with good old (new in this case?) APT, though 😆

@Citizenzibb @murtezayesil @gxtony In recent years I've only had trouble with this a single time, and that was after the major upgrade from Mint 19 (Ubuntu 18.04) to Mint 20 (Ubuntu 20.04), which is known to cause trouble under certain circumstances, but also only happens every 2 years. So, I'm pretty happy 🙂

@Citizenzibb @murtezayesil @gxtony currently Mint desktop and Ubuntu server, but thinking of switching to Parrot. I like the idea of a rolling distro.

@Citizenzibb @gxtony @murtezayesil I see. Might reconsider then. I like the idea of continuity as opposed to staying +/- on the same release for 2 years, and then a major change. But the latter might be preferable stability-wise, ultimately. This is very insightful, I appreciate it :)

@Citizenzibb @gxtony @murtezayesil I'll be using Parrot in a VM to try some pentesting in any case. Maybe I'll get hooked after all, we'll see. Served me very well as a host to install LFS so far.

@Citizenzibb @gxtony @murtezayesil Same here. But also interesting to hear what works for other people.

@kev Looks super awesome! Just be careful about office mates with sensitive ears. I once got showered in Bertie Bott's Beans for using my Model M during my neighbour's Zoom call 😆

@protonmail While I'm still a proud lifetime supporter of your services, and still think you're doing a great job on a technical and privacy level, I'm becoming more and more frustrated with your PR and marketing strategy. It feels like you're always putting the open source and hacker community on second priority. Of course you need to stay profitable, but I think with this attitude you're really damaging your reputation with a community that would align very strongly with your core values.

@Gina I'm quite happy with my PXC 550-II. Sound quality is not audiophile, but pretty good. Noise cancelling works pretty well. Pairing with Linux Mint and Android is almost flawless. I only have issues when paired to two devices at the same time, as it will constantly switch to the device that produces sound. Also I find it annoying as a headset as it seems to do the opposite of noise cancelling when the mic is used in headset mode. In addition to BT you can also connect it via USB or analogue.

@nextcloud I just started to use News, and it's awesome, but the podcast player in the Android app is still pretty basic.

@tante I neither know the book nor the author. But purely looking at the information in your post, it sounds to me like any critique of the "woke" movement inherently has to be "fascist". I think there is never a good reason to label objective critique of something as "fascist". This is highly dangerous as it undermines a key accomplishment of the enlightenment: the right or rather the duty to criticise other (or, maybe more importantly, one's own) ideas.
