This is about the cosmic desktop environment, not a CPU architecture

AFAIK CTT’s tool literally uses Microsoft provided tooling.

Edit: it’s the same tooling used by companies to modify their own windows installs

Last I checked windows 11 can be installed without TPM support. I think rufus even has a simple checkbox for it and Chris Titus’s winutil can modify an ISO to do the sams

That’s really cool! Rewriting sudo in Rust actually feels like a no brainer tbh

Markdown supports images and tables. It may depend on the rendered though. The GitHub flavour of Markdown supports this for example and I expect Latex supports it too. If existing tools don’t exist to get the height of elements you can probably make it yourself fairly easily if you you the specific font and styling the renderer uses. You’d just have to parse the file, which is basically plain text, and run the same calculations the renderer would. For which approximation might be fine depending on the use case

This is very different from docz or odt, but maybe its worth looking into converting markdown or latex to PDF with something like pandoc. Maybe that or some other more open and less complex format might help with this?

Hetzner storage boxes look really compelling. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve heard of tools like that, but this works fine for me. This way I’m not dependent on it being packaged for my distro and having to install it through other means. I’m fine running things manually, this is just for convenience

I don’t think I’ve posted it before, but here it is. If you use different utilities you’d have to swap those out. Also excuse the comments, I had GH Copilot generate this script

My update script handles mirrors, updates and cleans the cache automatically. I’d definitely recommend creating one. It’s aliased to sysupdate for me and I also check if it’s a debian or arch based distro so the command works on my servers and desktop

Very interesting, might have to check that out sometime

That looks really interesting! Does this exist for other languages like Rust?

Cloudflare tunnels definitely aren’t wrong, you’re just not entirely using open source software. It’s a very good option if you need to open things to the public or want to learn more about cloud services

You can selfhosted tailscale so that they don’t have any access. You can’t with cloudflare tunnels as far as I know. Tailscale’s client is open source, so is their Headscale server which originally was developed by a 3rd party. You can look into the code for that. Not sure what you’d want me to say. If you really want to be informed I’d inspect the code yourself

Tailscale shouldn’t be getting your data anyway. It’s a mesh VPN that directly connects devices after their auth server gives out certs and let’s clients know where to find another. If you’re not comfortable with using their server for this I’d suggest you look into the open source headscale server. I do remember it routing through their server in the rare case NAT punching doesn’t work

Personally I use tailscale which should punch through double NAT. It’s a wire guard based mesh VPN, but an exit node should make it a normal VPN

You can definitely write C# code based on all open source things. Microsoft open sourced C# and it is used on Linux too

Am I blind or do they call tar an archive format and not a compression format as you say?

You can still use your mouse. I3 allows using the mouse for moving Windows if you want it. Personally I manage Windows using shortcuts, but for GUI and some TUI apps I use the mouse anyway

I’m using Arch on my main machine since it is primarily for gaming where a lot of the focus is on Arch and its derivatives. A lot of guides are made for it and Valve’s SteamOS is Arch based. For software development not having to use Docker’s own repo is really nice to have as the Arch version is up to date to a point where I haven’t noticed any issues with guides or anything

However, Tumbleweed looks very intriguing and I’m seriously considering it for my Framework 16 once I get it as it’ll be a machine to get work done, not mess around and play games

Personally I haven’t had much luck with distrobox, but that was mostly with Pgadmin 4. Its package in the arch community repo has been broken for years
