@dragon that just restricts car ownership to people who have their own garages

my server now has 8TB of storage

it’s btrfs RAID-1 on two second-hand Seagate Enterprise Capacity (ST8000NM0045-1RL112) drives that are over 6 years old so I’m not sure how long they will last

also they’ve got 4k logical sector sizes so I don’t think SeaBIOS will be able to boot from them (but I don’t need that anyway)

@flyfly beings who know what open source is I think would know that it doesn't include licenses that forbid commercial use, but maybe that's a recursive definition (if they know what it is then they know what it is)

@flyfly GPL doesn't limit commercial use (but some companies like to misleadingly claim that it does to scare people into paying them for commercial licenses). it just specifies that if you sell binaries (which is allowed), you must also provide source code at no extra cost beyond the cost of the distribution medium (or a written offer to do so that's valid for 3 years)

@flyfly I don't think so. It's the definition that basically every distro uses too and it's mostly (there are some exceptions like the Sybase Open Watcom license and the NASA Open Source Agreement that are open source but not free software) equivalent to the FSF's free software definition, and the DFSG, which the OSI's definition is based on.

@whitequark @qdoit ARMv5TEJ (assuming you mean ARM926EJ, I don't think ARM926J exists)

@flyfly I'd just say "it's source-available". calling it open source just creates unnecessary confusion by using a different meaning from the widely accepted definition of the term "open source"

@flyfly it does because "open source" has a specific definition (by the OSI) which does not include non-commercial licenses. it's source available, but not open source

@april Apache-2.0 is fine. The only thing is that it's incompatible with GPLv2 if that matters (but so is GPLv3 that I suggested)

@april I would probably use GPLv3-or-later. For some examples of what other distros have done: Guix is GPLv3-or-later (of course), Gentoo is GPLv2-only, Arch Linux is CC0 (they relicensed at some point from not having any license and assumed that copyright holders consent by default unless they explicitly said otherwise, which is probably not legally valid), postmarketOS (pmaports) is GPLv3-only, Alpine Linux (aports) doesn't have a license specified at all (don't do that)

@april don't forget to add a license to the config repo

@april @Lili @_r who is ZuzeOS named after?

@libreleah @april nix isn't linux specific. officially it also supports macos (ew) and there seems to be a FreeBSD port too

@kemona_halftau why do you have so many notifications?

Hey @frameworkcomputer! If I publish my dotfiles and write an installer for them, will you send me free(?) hardware to test on too?

RE: https://shrimple.aagaming.me/notes/alcnu72jj8

@halva @aa especially since it isn't even a proper distro but rather just DHH's (wrongly) opinionated dotfiles

they should rename the setting to "wrong scrolling"

@kemona_halftau that exists? I'm not sure how to view it even on sharkey
