Sure in the gigantic wall of text. Also it doesn’t tell you why, or what to do about it. All they’d have to do is say “run dist-upgrade to update these packages.”

It is literally in the summary that gets presented in the last few lines before you have to press Y to continue.

Since you are already overwhelmed by the wall of text, you would probably not read the suggestion antways.

I didn’t mean to put words in your mouth, but your replies are exhausting. Lighten up.

I think you got my point. Not sure why you feel the need to try to discuss another discuasion topic with me.

Apt could use some usability improvements, specifically around doing full upgrades. This isn’t a controversial take.

No its not. And again, I never said apt is good or perfect or bad.

Googling apt full upgrade CLI leads to various articles, all of which have a series of commands that are named orthogonally to this fairly common use case, and must be run in order, and sometimes repeated.

I am fully aware, it is not like i ever had to dig down and resolve dependency hell.

There’s good reasons it is the way it is, and it can certainly be improved.

But it is something different if you say that tools could be made better, than writing a whole article with a click bait title on “How i ignored the output of my package manager”.

Nothing of what you said is on topic. I never said linux is for everyone and so on…

First, its about server administration. Second, I am neither saying that this behavior is good or bad.

I am saying that the behavior is clearly stated in the output. Or what else does “packages were held back” mean.

Blaming ignorance in reading the output prompt on the tools is really childish.

But it is clearly stated in the output that it holds back packages.

When a kernel update requires a change in dependencies, something Proxmox kernels do frequently, apt just quietly “keeps back” the package. It doesn’t fail, it doesn’t break the system, and it doesn’t trigger a rollback. It just waits for me to notice.

This should save a click for hopefully everyone.

Yes obviously, if you do not update the packages then they do not get updated.

If you do not read the output of a command then you will not notuce that.

I heard the wisdom once that you should self host everything except for email. I’m sure there are great tools to make it manageable but the effort/gain is just very high.

I find it irretating that you speak on the matter with hearsay without having even tried it with modern tools or project.

With projects like Mailcow its a simple setup. Rspamd handles spam better than many professional industry spam filters i have encountered.

Yes there are some pitfalls someone should be aware of and some know how required, but as of right know, it very easy with very little maintenance.

No one ever said that the new model would not be usefull. But Anthropic hyped it up to a 0-Day machine, who finds 0-Days in every project with easy and in places they could not have been found by humans.

And i actually thought, Roku is one of the better Options to choose for “TV Sticks”. At least I evaluated getting one for my next TV. Dodged a bullet i guess.

Not every order providers recieve is rightfull or legal or even fullfill the requirements of the law, or the legal forms are just not filled out correctly by the officer or department.

Fighting does not really mean, go to court, that would only really make sense for precedence, but more like “only do as much as you are required by law” and maybe “delay everything as much as you are allowed by law”.

Any legal hoster will have to give up the data to local LEA, eventually. I would rather go for a hoster that has proven to use encryption and is legally fighting any order they receive.

Thats the only (sane without tons of work) way how you can have a rolling release distro without the need to compile everything yourself, everytime. Dependency issues will occure when glibc gets updated (or any other library) and you only update some programms but not all, its possible that those programms work or not.

Yes but that is on Manjaro if they do not follow basic rules from their upstream and not on arch. If you ignore design desicions then thats on you.

So, when you activate simple versioning, and keep the last 20 Versions, then an error occurs (or malicious actor) and overrides the file 20 times. Then the simple versioning is gone.

Yes with the correct setup you could probably backup via syncthing BUT no one in the comments ellaboborated and mostly just says “i sync to multiple devices via syncthing”

I am shocked how many ppl think synchronization like syncthing act as a backup.

No synchronisation is not a backup. If you accidentally delete the database and it syncs across all devices then the database is gone. If something is broken and overrides multiple times then the history if it is enabled is also gone.

Pls use proper backup methods to backup your database.

Edit: I sync my database also with syncthing across devices. But to back it up i have on multiple clients system backups running that include the database.

Why should that be a flaw on Arch’s side, when it ooses no issue on Arch’s side? Partial updates are explicitly not supported. That would be fine for Manjaro if they would not encourage the use or for some cases even enable the use of AUR by default.

The Pin is not designed and used for such an authentication. Also can be changed at any time:

How do I manage or change my PIN?

On your phone, go to Signal Settings > Account > Change your PIN

Its not about being complicated, its about dumping the whole chat history with just a few seconds of physical acceas to the device.

LEA has used this method with messangers like Whatsapp for years to quicly exfiltrade the data from a victims phone to other software.

It is less intuitive to set up, but it is extremely lightweight and very fast. That is the one I recommend.

I highly question the decision process to only include the lightweight and speed. There are much more important criterias to consider, like for example stability, maintainability, support etc.

I do not need yet another service that gets abonded 1-2 years after launch or goes subscription only etc.

While lots of ppl will hate on Nextcloud, its pretty good. When you do the setup right, with cache and so on set up it’s fast and serves its purpose not only as cloud storage but as a collaboration platform where you can edit files with other ppl and much more.

If you only want a simple Web App to up and download files there are probably other solutions for that.

No this is just wrong.

Like almost all FOSS and closed source software

How do you know if they sell your data? How do you know the data is secured enough, so no data breach occurs? How do you know if everyone on the company developing it act in good faith?

That they collect completely useless metrics (except for marketing) like connected servers, says a lot about the company and the ppl behind this. Are the keys to your sever even stored locally? How could you know.

Why are you defending those ppl? What is you self intrest here? Enough companies have proof in the past that privacy policies are just text.
