Yeah and it’s awesome. I have it making backup snapshots automatically and I copied the steamos-readonly script from valve to automatically lock everything except my home/root/var/opt etc (I realize you can remount ext4 as ro too, but still btrfs handles this well).
I recently swapped the contents of two drives of different sizes (one was a server and the other was a PC) and btrfs made the filesystem resize and expansion parts easy.
I’m not a big fan of the NFA either, but its existence exposes the true nature of gun control policies in Cali or NY… To make “progressive” politicians look better during their campaigns without actually affecting their constituents gun control goals.
I personally believe reducing gun violence must start with increasing quality of life in the areas that suffer it the most (eg food, homes, healthcare, etc).
I also think it’s crazy that we don’t have any form of licensing system besides CCW… When that is also proven to not constitute infringement.
I understand that licensing (and taxation specifically) can be used to marginalize people, but I feel like firearms licensing that is as available as a drivers license is a pretty mild concession.
I don’t carry but I got my CCW voluntarily because I believe in licensing and it’s the only form available.
There is one form of gun control that has been effective and stood the test of time: Taxes.
The NFA has been working for almost a hundred years.
If politicians actually wanted to restrict gun ownership (rather than garnering temporary political support via impotent temporary policies the way California does) they’d use the NFA as a template.
As long as it is impossible to get the majority of states to agree to amend the constitution, any policy that infringes on citizens rights to bear arms is temporary at best.
There are decades of precedent in US courts that makes taxes and licensing not an infringement.
What did valve do?
Discover is ok… If you limit it to only managing Flatpaks.
I’m not sure I’d ever trust a GUI to manage pacman/apt/dnf
There’s a big difference between being a safe/competent shooter and being a gunsmith.
3d printing a firearm you’re planning to bet your life on is a big ask for someone who isn’t already a gun owner.
Also, if you’re buying a glock slide and parts kit to put in your plastic gat, you aren’t really saving much money.
A glock can be had for nearly $300 on sale sometimes.
This was my first concern as well… Although I suppose you could do some test prints to collect values to change the simulation.
If I were printing something really big, I’d probably run a sim first even if it were inaccurate, just to see if there is an obvious problem.
I’m not sure this would help new people much though, since you’d have to be very familiar with your printer/printing to use a simulation anyway.
Distrobox is just a set of shell scripts that controlls Podman under the hood. Not only is it like docker, it literally uses the same container format (ContainerD).
On my PC and all my home servers I keep my root partition at 10GB and haven’t had any issues (although I keep everything that isn’t hardware related or a system utility in home).
On my PC I crammed arch, all of KDE (+extra KDE utilities), and some other system stuff like LACT and distrobox in the 10GB root partition and run almost everything else as a flatpak installed to home.
On my servers I do the same thing but all my services are in podman containers in /opt.
Having all the software needed to make the machine work be isolated from my custom home junk makes me feel better, and I like that I can mount root as read-only to make it immutable
