I’m optimistic, since technical arguments can be pretty heated yet they end like this:

Can you find any links where one can read about this?

If Finland is wasting tax payer money to something shady, it should be brought to the local media.

As a finn, I understand that there are probably legal reasons for doing this.

I just wish they would be transparent and share those reasons with us. The Linux kernel is certainly not the only free software project that is impacted, if this comes straight from EU/US sanctions. Maintainers of other projects have a lot of interest in what is happening.

Transparency is also important because if EU/US policy/sanctions are causing issues for free software projects, then that discussion needs to be public, so that there is a chance to amend the policies if necessary.

finland has pretty bad, climate-change-exploitation-fucking-over-the-third-world dealings in my country

Which country is that, and what dealings?

There may be worse countries, but rest of the word is not in a proxy war with them.

Yes, not only is it realistic, it has actually happened. It’s easier to write code than understand it. Even when reviewing code, you miss more or less obvious issues. Not to mention intentional vulnerabilities that can be sneaked in over multiple commits and time span long enough to make reviewers forget the larger context.

Look buddy, you don’t need to use it if you don’t want to. Just remove the package. I’m sure telnet will continue working!

Is there a good summary of Gitea/Forgejo background somewhere?

Installing nvidia-driver package wasn’t enough?

https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Installation

Going with the closed source driver means stuff breaking each kernel update.

What distro are you using if nvidia breaks after every kernel update? What do you need to do to fix the breakage?

I’m a finn, so the only advice I can give is that it’s pronounced like luanti in finnish.

Not very useful, I know, sorry. Nau ai häv tu kou präktis mai rälli inglish.

Just tell her that you told them your wife didn’t like the name so they changed it.

It’s finnish, so like it’s written. Foreign concept for english speakers, I know.

The use case sounds exactly like git-annex.

As a bonus you get a system that tracks how many copies of files and where you have them.

ELI5?

Do you happen to know any more recent documentation that would have similar diagrams?

Ugh, those GitHub comments are horrible. If I was the author, I would just walk away from the project. People have no shame in making demands for free work.

Sounds pretty close to Debian as far as I remember. In Debian those symlinks are called alternatives, and can be configured with update-alternatives. Not sure about the Python libraries though.

Are these made similarly to how Debian handles python2 and python3 for instance?

I’m not sure that anything short of a package manager that would compile everything from sources would be able to provide capability to pick and mix specific package versions.

Heh, Distrobox came to my mind when writing my comment. I haven’t used it enough to recommend it yet though.

I recall there are some other development container projects, but can’t remember the names right now.

Development containers are nice in theory. In practice, sometimes development environments are so complex that it might not be worth the trouble. But it’s good to have options.
