@js it's not dead if you're actually using it.

#XMPP - like #IRC & #BBS - continues to exist and thrive where it matters.

Also #Distributions neglecting #Updates is a general problem and why @torproject warns from installing #Debian's #Tor package.

Sadly there's no #deb package for #TorBrowser / #Tor by #TorProject which makes it really inconvenient to distribute beyond "shove it into $HOME/.apps/TorBrowser/ and pray it doesn't break!"

#Linux a gagné du terrain en 2025 mais en 2026, il faudra tenir la distance. Fin du support de #Windows10, progression de Linux sur #Steam, #distributions pensées pour les transfuges de #Windows, et gros travail de fond sur la fiabilité des #misesàjour.

Nice article at @lwn

"Distrobox is a project that is designed to bring the cross-distribution compatibility to the desktop and allow users to mix-and-match Linux distributions without fussing with dual-booting, virtual machines, or multiple computers."

This tree is amazing. Maybe use it as a christmastree?

I just found an obscure #Linux #distro that's outstanding on old #hardware
There are tons of obscure Linux #distributions that are focused on new users who don't want to have to customize, tweak, or bother with a bunch of post-install work. #Vinari #OS is one of them.

5 #Linux #distros that take a little work out of the box, but are so worth the effort.
If you are willing to put in a bit of extra work after installing an operating system, these #distributions will reward you for your effort

I have an extremely naive question about probability. Suppose I have a possibly biased d6 and a roll it a bunch, and get a sample pmf
\[p_1\colon \underline{6}=\{1,2,3,4,5,6\} \to [0,1].\]
Then I give it to you and you do the same to get $p_2$ based purely on your rolls. Then in a fit of madness we calculate the function $p\colon \underline{6}\to [0,1]$ defined by
\[ p(x) = \frac{p_1(x)p_2(x)}{\sum_y p_1(y)p_2(y)},\]
which is also a pmf.
Does this represent anything? Something like a pooling of our information? A kind of update procedure? Something that violates dimensional analysis? Is it just junk?

A more sophisticated analysis might do something like assume we have a true distribution (remember: possibly biased) and see if the pmf $p$ is "better" or not compared with $p_1$ and $p_2$. A more computational person might even simulate this. But what if we didn't know a true distribution here? Then it's more or less just multiplying a pair of what amount to priors on the same sample space. If we lost or forgot the data of the actual number of rolls, and only remembered the pmfs, we wouldn't be able to correctly combine our rolling experiments to get a single empirical pmf to compare the individual ones.

#RPM est l’un des systèmes de gestion de #paquets les plus utilisés dans le monde #Linux. On le retrouve bien sûr dans les systèmes #RedHat (#RHEL et #Fedora), mais également dans #openSUSE, #Mageia et d’autres #distributions. Sa version 6.0 renforce la #sécurité.

I still hold my preference for #ZorinOS for PC newcomers, #Bazzite for gamers, and #LinuxMint for Windows refugees.

For people needing for something rock solid and stable like a rock, #VanillaOS.

For those who want Linux on hardware released last month, #Fedora (personally, I prefer #Bluefin or #Aurora).

Vingt ans d’aventures Linux : après Mint, j’adopte Debian !

Mon parcours avec Linux a débuté en 2006 avec Ubuntu, marquant une évolution vers des distributions telles que Linux Mint et Debian. J’apprécie Debian pour sa stabilité et son contrôle, adaptées à mes besoins professionnels, même si je continue d’utiliser Mint sur d’autres machines. Mon voyage illustre l’adaptabilité de mes choix informatiques au fil du temps. Continuer de lire Vingt ans d’aventures Linux : après Mint, j’adopte Debian !
