running a container from a vm

and its hostname is not #nixos but auto generated

#VenC 3.2.7 has been released with a minor bug fix : https://framagit.org/denissalem/VenC/-/issues/128

hello @raspbeguy ;)

May try to get #Bim added to the #Alpine #Aports.

It can join #Kuroko soon.

Yes, I’m back at it again.

Curious what the smallest device is that #wizards have #AlpineLinux running on. :)

New weird issue I've run into with #Librewolf on #postmarketOS / #AlpineLinux - the latest version in the Alpine repository doesn't want to play any videos. I've tried on both YouTube and several Peertube instances and videos just sit at an endless spinner. Audio works fine, playing music from my Subsonic server works no problem. I installed the #Flatpak version and symlinked my profile directories, it plays video just fine using the same profile.

@srnka came across this https://sd-card-images.johang.se/boards/libretech_a311d_cc.html. Tested it for fun on an sdcard and got video output. Wondering if it's as simple `cat u-boot.bin alpine.bin > sdcardimage.bin` to get an #alpinelinux image working on the #radxazero2pro #sbc. :)

After living with Alpine as my main nothing comes close, not even Void.

Fast and friendly, at least by my standards.

I have to reference #gitlab merge request and issue numbers a lot while doing dev stuff for #postmarketOS and #alpinelinux (like for giving to our mrtest tool), so I made a simple bookmarklet that will copy this number to my clipboard:

Bookmarklets are neat!

After many months, we finally have an upstreamable path for merging /usr in postmarketOS and hence Alpine! Still lots of work to be done, I just ruined one of my test installations LOL. But it's so cool to see it become real: https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/6389

I started using Linux back in January or February 2020, and my first distro was Elementary OS 5.1. It felt like the right choice from the start.

Since then, I've tried a bunch of other distros like Arch, Fedora, Alpine, Linux Mint, Manjaro, and Paldo. But in the end, I fell in love with Debian stable.

Arch and Fedora didn't really sit with me, but I might give Arch another shot someday. Out of all the ones I tried, my top picks are Debian, Elementary, Mint, Alpine, and Paldo.

Today, I run Elementary alongside Debian on my laptop, and Debian on both my desktops. I love what Elementary does, but for me, Debian is number one, and Elementary is a close second.

Want stable systems with stable UIs?
I do.

Imagine you could (have had) the same UI since 1995?

yet with /all/ the bells and whistles of modern computing #updates.

without the disruptions of constant-changes where undesired?

Screenshot: #AlpineLinux running #Chicago95 theme on #xfce4 in VM.

- 8 GB sys disk
- 4 GB RAM

Not sure what just happened, but my #AlpineLinux #LibreWolf browser just stopped using ~/.librewolf for profiles and switched to ~/.mozilla/firefox. All my stuff was gone! I ended up copying my profile from ~/.librewolf to ~/.mozilla/firefox (same with ~/.cache/librewolf to ~/.cache/mozilla/firefox) and got it back, but still...why? Why did LibreWolf all the sudden revert to Firefox paths? It is definitely still Librewolf running according to About.

Which bindsym keyboard shortcut do you use to swaylock your system on #Sway? :) The L key appears to be reserved for $right in the stock #AlpineLinux ~/.config/sway/config

With #Wayland #Sway on #AlpineLinux are there any recommended bars? Currently running stock #swayrbar. While better than stock #waybar, it still feels like it's lacking. The two big things I find it missing are Autohide and Brightnessctl control. A way to execute swaylock/shutdown/reboot from the bar would also be great!
