(serious) Question.
If you run Linux servers without outside network access, how do you keep them up to date?
If a software vendor give you access to a repo to install their multi-package software, how do you do it? Or better, what do you expect from the vendor (but may not get)?
Thanks
(Edit: just to clarify. I'm not the sysadmin here. I have no control on any of these system, I'm just trying to figure out a way to make it easier for these customers)

What do AI and agentic commerce mean for free software? Merchants can’t just choose to be invisible in search, and they can’t just choose to be non-interoperable with LLMs.

I recall you mentioning about your new landing page. Just remembered, I wanted to highlight a probable css and height issue. Few app texts are getting out of their boxes (if I am seeing correctly).
Specifically on the articles page: android.izzysoft.de/articles.p…
Had that (CSR) one time, too – but quite a while ago, don't even remember exactly anymore.
Yeah, thanks for the other hints – but I'm afraid my time won't permit me working on those cosmetics. My work on IzzyOnDroid keeps me busy enough – no idea how that will fit should I get a paid $dayjob again (unfortunately I need some money for living, and all the maintenance work is still unpaid – long way until IzzyOnDroid is self-sustaining…)
Bring your resume when coming over please. Will see if my current company where I work has any eligible positions you can apply for.
For that sake, feel free to ask others as well who maybe looking out for jobs. I maybe able to suggest few places. The least I can do.

So it turns out that the largest AI datacenter in the world consumes about as much water per year as ~2.5 burger joins (including water consumed in chip production). I heavily overestimated datacenter water consumption (even though I knew most people still heavily overestimated datacenter water consumption, and I underestimated it relative to most people. I also heavily underestimated how much water goes into a single burger.

A different perspective on the datacenter water debate, forget tokens/watt or tokens/dollar, it's about tokens/burger, how many In-N-Outs is equivalent to the world's largest datacenterNicolas Bontigui (SemiAnalysis)
There's really NO reason why a decent mid-range phone couldn't be someone's main desktop or laptop. The NexPhone is a mid-range rugged phone which connects to a monitor to be a Debian or Windows 11 PC! youtu.be/qfY5t6N8YxM

Starting in January 2026, at the beginning of each quarter, i.e. in January, April, July and October, I will publish a slide deck with updated statistics on the LibreOffice project.Italo Vignoli (The Document Foundation)
I wonder why the least wealthy countries aren't downloading LibreOffice?
Is it because the technology to run LO isn't suitable? (I know mobiles are common, but computers not so much).
Is it because "free" tools like Google Docs is preferred, because there is nothing to install and it works wherever a browser works?
Is it because for most people, life just doesn't include using a computer based office productivity suite?
Something else?
Apologies for my ignorance on this matter.
Do you have a map with downloads per capita?
China having a huuuge population, comparing it with Germany or France isn't really relevant of the roots of LibrrOffice in each country.
Thanks!
SO I saw a facebook notification, and decided let's read it, I don't really go on facebook that often, but it was @countrymetalhead commenting on a post he shared, and welp just because I want to see if the reaction here on masto's different, here's the original post, now, be aware, I'm not the original author, so keep that in mind. I'm just posting it to see what others think, and what reactions I get. Now, if your still reading, your content preramble is over. here we go. hot take starts.... welp, now. Hot take:
If you think a relationship means constant texting, daily reassurance, sharing locations, checking followers, and knowing where your partner is every second of the day… you’re not in love. You’re running surveillance.
Some of y’all don’t want a partner.
You want a security blanket with a phone.
A healthy relationship doesn’t require good morning paragraphs, hourly check-ins, and “prove you love me” speeches. It requires trust, independence, and a life outside of your partner.
If your mood is ruined because your partner didn’t text back fast enough, that’s not passion. That’s insecurity.
If you need access to their phone to feel safe, that’s not loyalty. That’s control.
If you think jealousy is cute, that’s not love. That’s immaturity.
Some of you are addicted to attention and call it affection.
And before you say “my partner likes it,” just know: people accept a lot when they’re afraid of being alone.
Love isn’t about possession.
It’s about partnership.
Now let’s see who feels personally attacked.
Remember, using a native HTML `<fieldset>` / `<legend>` gets you better results in SRs than its ARIA equivalent:
adrianroselli.com/2022/07/use-…
My post deals with the inverse of the others I shared — unstyling the native HTML so you don’t need the ARIA construct.
It’s 2022 and people are still afraid to use and . I understand the layout challenges can be frustrating, but swapping to an ARIA group role will result in a more inaccessible experience.Adrian Roselli
RE: mindly.social/@Tamasg/11593385…
Totally agree.
It's also funny that GPT uses terms like "Keep my fingers crossed" in its thinking. Do you really have fingers as an AI and why would you think that? One time it actually was thinking, "circumventing search restrictions." And the amount of times it says, "let's get this done right once and for all!" is really great, as though it were trying to be a frustrated person. All of these things give it fake realism, but we must not associate an AI thinking this way to it "being a human" - it only does so because we ourselves use these processes when thinking and it's just replicating what it knows.
Belarusian government persecutes radio amateurs and sentences operators (life sentence or death penalty is at stake). Andrey Repetiy (EW1ABT) and Nikita Krasko (EW1AEH) were forced to publicly repent for the "crime" of technical curiosity and international communication. They were coerced on TV to renounce their own technical expertise as something harmful. Vyacheslav Benko (EW1ACE) remains behind bars alongside them.
Lukashenko's propagandists presented the Belarusian Federation of Radioamateurs and Radiosportsmen (BFRR) as nothing more than a front for a "massive spy network" designed to "pump state secrets from the air." Propagandists claim that over fifty people have already been detained and more than five hundred units of radio equipment have been seized. These men have been indicted for High Treason and Espionage. Under the Belarusian Criminal Code, these charges carry sentences of life imprisonment or even the death penalty.

I know about the collapse of traffic to sites like Stack Overflow, but is that also being seen on sites like ReadTheDocs?
This question partly motivated by a discussion I was having with someone about "where would one actually advertise?" in relation to the drop in my own business.
Yeah, for better and for worse, they give the user exactly what they want, no more and no less. Some consider this as a walled garden, others as a natural extension of fast forward, ad blocking and reader mode. I guess it depends on where you fall on the scale of author's rights versus reader's rights.
Though to be fair, I suspect that many authors will leverage this and find a way to speak to LLMs directly. With enough prompt engineering, you could probably convince an LLM reading your website to tell the user about something you care about. The line between jailbreaking and telling the user something they want to hear is blurry, just like the line between delivering genuinely useful commercial information and manipulation is blurry in advertising. It's a strange world we live in.
@miki Well, I don't really want to be spending all my time figuring out how to tweak some algorithm to somehow surface my stuff.
I'm just trying to be an authentic person running an honest business. Something that seems to becoming increasingly impossible.
A consensus like this is rarely seen in an online poll.

What is the anti-AI endgame at this point? It feels like everyone who's anti-AI is just praying for the bubble to burst. Like do you think when it happens that OpenAI is just going to close their doors and say "well we had a good run but lets close it down?" No! What's going to happen is what happens every time a bubble bursts and any smaller AI companies will go under or be absorbed by the few remaining ones and we'll just be left with 2 or 3 companies that control everything, and instead of fostering alternatives and trying to keep up with and help contribute to open stacks that can't be locked behind paywalls, the vast majority of the open-source community has just decided to complain about things changing and hope it doesn't.

This is my shocked face...
And, if we don't get Trump and the GOP out of power, when things do crash here's what'll happen -- the big tech companies will get bailed out on our dollars and we'll be stuck with the bill. While there are rampant layoffs to boot, and our 401Ks crater.

in reply to Hubert Figuière • • •You have to make a local mirror of course. Rsync down the world and expose it when you're in the DC locally.
github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ can host this kind of cache pretty easily. We do it for installs/provisioning so you don't need to have internet to deploy the world.
Why don't your server have internet though?

The fact you ask the question is already part of the problem.

in reply to Hubert Figuière • • •Putting my sysad hat on for a second, what I would want from a vendor ideally is either a package repository (ppa, apt repo, yum repo, etc) that I can enable, which integrates well with vendor-provided packages. What I regularly _get_ is a tarball or a loose binary that I have to install by hand, and the dependencies are my problem.
I do think it's reasonable for vendors to abdicate on the issue of limited/no network access. There are many, many ways to do that.
Hubert Figuière
in reply to Owen • • •@owen The package repo are there. But the server that need them is not connected to the outside network. (I'm the vendor here, not the sysadmin)
Providing a tarball of all the RPM for the software is what I envisioned. It's easier than downloading them one by one.
