Jag håller på att sortera bland gamla papper. Jag hittar massor med konstiga saker, t.ex.  detta tygmärke som jag fick av @staalmannen när han började studera i Umeå.

any effort to put xlibre in chimera will be rejected on the technical basis of the maintainers being reactionary dipshits

just to be clear, given the coverage of the most recent post, we don't want to be subject to any conspiracy theories arising from that

so i'll just use this opportunity to declare that we are definitely here to further woke agenda by turning free software gay

Finally switched to Chimera Linux @chimera as a daily driver (using Plasma Desktop). The migration was painless and everything (except akonadi/pim) is working flawlessly.

given the recent controversy regarding fosstodon and some matters coming up regarding our previous instance that they have refused to clarify, i've come to the conclusion that it's not really possible to really trust any of these and that we're better off running our own

so here it is, i will continue adjusting the settings and stuff as needed over the coming days, followers have been redirected, any new content will appear here only

new images for 20250420: https://chimera-linux.org/news/2025/04/new-images.html

risc-v still alive (and freshly rebuilt on native hardware), loongarch64 newly available, apk not segfaulting anymore, limine instead of grub for the images themselves on supported platforms (all but ppc*), better compatibility with older bios machines

Glenda has joined the family. (Tortoise for scale.)

Thaddeus Woskowiak has made a lovely 3D model of Glenda the Plan 9 bunny. Spent yesterday prepping and painting a print.

Bluesky fortsätter att växa, nu 29 miljoner användare, men bara 790 har hittat fram till Projekt Runeberg. Tipsa dina bekanta, enklast genom att återposta det här inlägget, om att @runeberg-org.bsky.social är en sida man bör följa.

Deaktiverade äntligen Twitter. Egentligen var det väl endast ett fåtal personer kvar där som sa tillräckligt intressanta saker ibland för att man skulle acceptera deras dåliga takes i andra frågor. En var RMS, en legend i öppen källkod som ibland säger intressanta saker. Kallar sig libertarian men

När samtiden är dyster kan man alltid tänka på Romarriket, t ex på romersk cement, som vi fram till nu inte förstått varför den är så hållbar. Det här är ofattbart coolt! www.sciencealert.com/we-finally-k...

Undrar när Sverige kommer att kunna vara lika lika pragmatiskt som Tyskland i dessa frågor. Där har breda mittenkoalitioner funkat många gånger. www.dn.se/insandare/bi...

Ok vet inte om detta är patetiskt eller fantastiskt. Upptäckte just AI RPG chatbot-sites där man i princip kan köra soloäventyr med en AI som personlig DM. Som en skiljd medelålders man i främmande land är det svårt att hitta spelkamrater. Detta KÄNNS som ett bra substitut.

reminder: free software without its politics is called "open source" and it's what corporates and certain other entities want to gaslight you into thinking is the appropriate soul-draining default

we don't do that; chimera is not a product and will always act in the interest of the community + try to be self-sustaining without external control

and it will always strive to be a fun and safe space where everyone can feel comfy and appreciated (except nazis, bigots, and other disruptive elements)

Sweden has its own back door proposal in addition to EU’s Chat Control 2.0 and Going Dark. Signal’s president @Mer__edith is clear as always: if you mandate back doors (i.e., vulnerabilities): no more Signal for you. https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/signal-lamnar-sverige-om-regeringens-forslag-pa-datalagring-klubbas

20250214 images are out, bringing new apk-tools, infrastructural changes, 32-bit powerpc support, and more:

https://chimera-linux.org/news/2025/02/new-images.html

since we have apk-tools 3.0_rc4 now, it comes with modernization and resolves some old pain:

1) repos provide v3-style index names (Packages.adb) alongside v2-style (APKINDEX.tar.gz) for compat
2) we have a stable way for the user to select their system repo mirror, without modifying the repo packages, read about it here: https://chimera-linux.org/docs/apk/mirrors

x86_64 and ppc64le repos are done (others are still building and may take some hours)

unrelatedly, gcc packages (14.2.0) are coming on all platforms
