Distro packages don’t really matter much in my experience. You either use project-specific package management or install stuff with Homebrew or Nix package manager. Sometimes maybe even containers.

One problem with distro packages is that you can only install one version. And in practise a lot of software projects have outdated dependencies. Sometimes you have multiple projects with conflicting version dependencies.

When I checked a long time ago, there wasn’t.

And not only failures, often it’s useful to get mail for all executions.

I guess cron continues to have its place.

Is there any easy way to get mail of the runs like with cron?

De facto standard for how to write commit messages (and thus usually changelog messages).

Valve hasn’t heard of imperative mood for changelog entries, it seens.

Everything except mobile support points towards Emacs org-mode indeed.

If you can find something even close to it, I would be interested to know as well.

Thanks for taking the time to write this!

Interesting, I didn’t know about that.

Do you use dropbear and manually input the password to unlock the LUKS partition, or have you scripted something to automate that?

Thanks for the comments. I agree on the general consensus, that once an encryption key enters the VPS, the encryption is compromised.

However, I’m thinking more in practical terms, eg. the service provider doing just casual scanning across all disks of VPS instances. Some examples could be: cloud authentication keys, torrc files, specific installed software, SSH private keys, TLS certificates.

Wow, I didn’t know reads deteriorate SSDs. What’s the reason? Is the rate significant?

5 k€? No wonder no one uses tape for home usage. You can come up with a lot of cheaper alternatives for that price.

Do unplugged SSDs eventually lose the data?

I use Debian stable because I’m tired of constantly twiddling with breaking stuff, I just want a distro that keeps working without issues and tinkering.

If you still want to learn Linux stuff and debug packages, then go for a bleeding edge distro.

How is autocrypt supported nowadays?

That’s a name I haven’t seen in a while.

Use software owned by Oracle? Fuck that, I would rather get mauled by a bear.

What are you running on, a dead badger?

Just put your system configuration in Ansible playbook. When your distro has new release, go through your changes and remove ones that are no longer relevant.

For home, I recommend a dotfiles repository with subdirectories for each tool, like bash, git, vim, etc. Use GNU stow to symlink the required files in place on each machine.

Finnish indeed. I’m not aware of any alternative layouts. å is completely unnecessary for finnish, so maybe the layouts you mentioned could work.
