  • It fulfills a different purpose than system packages. First, it can be run without privileges/system modification, so it works on immutable distributions. Second, it doesn’t share libraries between apps (with some exceptions) or the system, so you don’t have to package separately for each. It essentially takes some of the container philosophy/tech and brings it to desktop apps. This also gives it some ability to do some sandboxing that isn’t as easy with system installed apps.

    This approach comes with some downsides. Particularly larger storage requirement for apps, sometimes less integration with the system, and lack of ability for apps to easily call/interact each other unless they’re packaged together.

    It’s meant for complete GUI apps and not small tools/packages that are the standard in system package managers


  • I still don’t think this is correct for two reasons. 1: I believe the DMCA and friends count as copyright law. 2: just reading the text of the law (#17 U.S. Code § 106):

    Subject to sections 107 through 122, the owner of copyright under this title has the exclusive rights to do and to authorize any of the following:

    (1) to reproduce the copyrighted work in copies or phonorecords;

    (2) to prepare derivative works based upon the copyrighted work;

    (3) to distribute copies or phonorecords of the copyrighted work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending;

    (4) in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and motion pictures and other audiovisual works, to perform the copyrighted work publicly;

    (5) in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and pictorial, graphic, or sculptural works, including the individual images of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, to display the copyrighted work publicly; and

    (6) in the case of sound recordings, to perform the copyrighted work publicly by means of a digital audio transmission

    It seems pretty clear that only the copyright owner has the rights to make copies, subject to a number of exemption.

    Now IANAL so I could be missing something pretty huge, but my understanding was that this right to make copies (especially physical ones for physical media) is at the core of copyright law. Not just the distribution of those copies (which is captured by right 3)









  • By default, an enencrypted boot drive is not sufficient to be able to decrypt a LUKs drive. If you have to type in your password to start the computer/unlock LUKs then you should be good.

    If you’ve setup a keyfile or TPM based decryption of LUKS, then your data is probably not safe (though a TPM based decryption could be if the OS is secure and secure boot is setup properly)

    In this case, if you have another server then you could setup a mutual tang/clevis system where each device gets the keys it needs from the other server on the LAN. Both would be LUKs encrypted. So if one is online the other gets the required key from the online one while booting. But if both are offline then no keys are available and you have to type in a LUKS password to boot. Something like https://www.ogselfhosting.com/index.php/2023/12/25/tang-clevis-for-a-luks-encrypted-debian-server/ but what they do with multiple servers is probably overkill

    The original is something like “it’s all Ohio” “always has been”. The globe shown is just a large landmass that looks like Ohio. They’re probably astronauts since you’d have to be in space to see it. The astronaut killing the other has the Ohio flag on them and is killing them for knowing too much.





  • Are there any two thoughts that are distinct from each other. Or is there only 1 unique thought (Choose any and then all others are a variation of it).

    Also I disagree that thoughts and emotions are entirely distinct. Or does ‘thoughts’ refer just to language? Are visual thoughts thoughts? And if so, why not remembering the experience of pain?

    Are memories thoughts? Or do I have to be commenting on the memory with language for it to be a thought? I feel like memories are 100% original too, since they’re a re-experience of something that happened to you, not based on anything that someone else has previously thought.


  • I would ask: is it possible for two thoughts to be completely distinct from each other (according to however you’re defining original). If no, then by definition only your first thought is original because after that all thoughts can be thought of as a variations on that thought (and you said variations weren’t allowed)

    I think your definition of 100% original is so restrictive that it kinda loses all meaning.

    To actually answer, I think emotional reactions are some of the most original thoughts that I have. Like the experience of pain is original even if you’ve heard words describing it before. And if it’s not original, then it’s not original only to your own previous experience. In fact, the experience of having all thoughts/sensations is original, even if some sense of the meaning of that thought is not.
