There is always some solutionizm in tech, but I'm interested in containerzation as a solution to problems I've had with configure drift building up on my systems and make it easier to share and work with the community.

The immutable desktop work to me is specifically working on bridging the gap between the UX of a local admin (you know wanting custom configuration and fast reaction to user input) and the industrial expectations of being able to test and track every change and reduce the number of different pieces you need to operate a system.

Hopefully we can lose some of the industries bad habits though. Like "relying on this proprietary piece is ok because we can move faster" or making other excuses as if you are going to have to explain to your boss why some metric looks bad instead of just trying to make the best system or solution we can.

"Israel's massive surveillance system failed. We need to massively invest in the same approach here."

Awesome stuff! This is something that major already know, but governments are learning. You can actually invest in FOSS, and unlike renting software you can make improvements that will better fit what you need it to do and not have to pay more for privilidge in the future.

And for everyone saying KDE as opposed to Gnome, they work together you dinguses! It's a friendly competition at times, but being FOSS they can and do easily learn and grow from each other.

For me I've had issues with getting organzational support for use anything close to p2p, with things like "keep that bot net off my system" being said. On personal side I had issues with ISPs assuming traffic was illegal in nature and sending me bogus cease and desist notices.

Agreed though. At least webrtc has a strong market. IPFS and other web3 things also have tried to find footholds in common use, so the fight isn't over for sure!

Cockpit has been my go too, very quick to just get up and working plus including a web terminal for the rest of what you need.

Political action can happen, and probably needs to happen, so I am glad there are at least some still pushing for it. It's up to the rest of us to make it a technical reality though.

I'm a big fan of high availability software rollouts. It would be interesting to see this do a live update where you spin up the new compositor, run some test on it, if it passes hand off, if that succeds kill the old one. Minimal disruption for the end user.

Kind of neat for desktop users, but for kiosks or other always running GUIs its super cool to me

From my understanding hugging face is open source, but while they have lot of opensource work including clients to their website, I cannot for the life of me find the webserver's source code!

People are having sex in non-self driving cars, so yeah of course if they think they can pay attention less there going to be more people doing it

They gotta their digital peasantry, I mean users, from other feudal lords, I mean corporations, to maximize their power over them and ability to exploit them, I mean ... No wait that's right.

Very cool! Always good to see more countries get closer to embracing FOSS. Really helps with the collaborative benefits that FOSS can have, plus allows for organizations to have more control in their digital destinies instead of simply being customers.

Hope the best for the project!

Late night thought on a road trip in the US and I can't stop think what an "All American meal with a great from every state" would consist of. Like something that a state is know for being exceptional in from beef to white tail to peaches to oastets to sunflowers to almonds to coffee. Even better it's something an average American could actually eat in one meal.

Extra bonus points include the greater US (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands)!

If others want to through other wide geographic/culture dishes like an EU, North African, all of China please do so too, it would be interesting to see too!

Reddit had an outage a few months back and had an awesome write up about their troubleshooting and reengineering of their k8s set up. Does anyone have a link to that? I can't for the life of me find it.

Again if it's illegal content publically available, officials can charge those site admins with crime of hosting. Everyone just has a duty to defederate.

Open standard CPU instruction set. Meaning people can design new chips for it without needing to enter an expensive license agreement.
