Cool! When you say you requested to subscribe, does that mean the server needs to federate or does that mean I accidentally set it up in a way that subscribers need to be approved? If it's the latter I definitely need to change that

Classic Blog Posts

!classicblogposts@lemmy.fmhy.ml

It seems hard to find classic style blogs for one off post reading or to subscribe to outside of social media so I thought I would try to set up a community for just that. The goal would be to create a community for quality blog posts of any genre that you find interesting (sharing your own is also highly encouraged), and being a community it can be subscribed to within Lemmy or within the community RSS feed to provide a selection of reading material.

I don't have a ton of experience writing rules and stuff, but I'd just ask that you avoid blog posts are solely partisan politics, blogs nearly unusable due to ads and such, corporate blogs, and posting things other than blog posts (e.g. news articles). Also, should go without saying, please don't break FMHY's rules or your own instance's rules, and please be nice.

The sorry state of social media (selfawarepatterns.com)

In the case of Firefox profiles maybe I can actually provide some useful info this time.

"firefox -ProfileManager" brings up the GUI profile manager and "firefox -P [profile name]" boots a particular profile.

Anyway, good luck.

Sorry, I've never tried to revert a package but I "think" synaptic can revert packages (system or otherwise) and shared it because I wanted to make sure it works on Linux mint. Maybe I should have clarified that's more of a "best guess" on my part than something I'm sure of.

The risk of rolling it back is even if brave works fine with an older version, if a different piece of software was tested with the newer version and expects it you could end up with a situation where other pieces of software that depend on it either break or keep trying to force you to update.

If you have a system backup and all you're risking is time then I'd say go for it, just wanted to bring up the potential risks and some other options as well.

You could check synaptic package manager to maybe see about rolling it back https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=179192

Though keep in mind that trying to roll back a particular dependency couldbee a good way to run into problem's.

You could also try re-install Brave and/or try installing as a flatpak to see if those fix it without rolling back

It's between XFCE for it's simplicity and KDE for it's Wayland support for me

I think Debian is close to new user friendly IF they pick Gnome or KDE with all the default stuff there, and has getting closer with non-free firmware enabled by default now, but still isn't quite there as a plug and play new user friendly distro. Things like flatpak w/flathub or snap out of the box isn't there, and it'd be hard to get a full Debian setup without using the command line (especially for a non free software zelot who wants Spotify and discord out of the box)

Something like mint is just a tad easier, and that might be the different between an easy install and an unexpected set of hiccups that a new user might struggle with. The mint installer is also a lot more intuitive, at the cost of being less universally compatible (a big goal of Debian).

  • Compatible with more devices than many distros
  • Extremely customizable

  • Very stable, and can run the bleeding edge through Snap/Flatpack/Appimages, Distrobox, or VMs/Containers

So, after a year or two of working on my homelab on and off, I finally had some time to look at what I wanted to do with my Homelab infrastructure...
