Come cambio da LMDE a Mint "vanilla"?
Scusate la domanda da newbie, spero di non evocare l'odio che hanno avuto nei miei confronti alcuni membri di lemmy.ml, ma sono molto nuovo come utente stabile su Linux.
Al mio primo approccio, a Maggio, mi è stato consigliato di installare non Linux Mint, bensì LMDE per prendere le distanze da Ubuntu etc.
Ora vedo che nel mio caso specifico ho alcune ragioni per non essere su Debian:
1) sono un utente molto nuovo e mi piacerebbe essere su una distro per la quale posso ottenere nei forum il miglior e più numeroso supporto possibile da parte della comunità
2) da quello che ho capito su LMDE lavorano molte meno persone che su Linux Mint
3) ho visto alcuni video su Debian 13 e ho capito che non fa parte della filosofia della distro inserire il supporto più recente per l'hardware, soprattutto Nvidia, e io ho un computer costruito per il gaming e con il quale mi piacerebbe continuare a giocare e a fare altre cose con la GPU etc.
Per questi motivi vorrei passare a Linux Mint, ma vorrei farlo nel modo più indolore possibile.

La mia home è sulla stessa partizione del root, cosa che credo di aver capito non sia stata proprio una furbata, ma non so come mettere solo la home su un'altra partizione durante l'installazione.
Mi potete aiutare a capire il modo migliore di passare da LMDE6 a Mint "vanilla" mantenendo il più possibile?
La mia home al momento occupa meno di 40 GB, quindi potrei salvarne i contenuti sul disco per il gaming per adesso, ma non so se è una buona idea.

Iscrizione alla Blind LGBT pride international
Questo è una specie di annuncio: “PlusBrothers il mondo positivo” si è iscritto a “Blind LGBT Pride International”, @BPI un’organizzazione nata in America e presente in tutto il mondo, che si occupa di LGBT+ e disabilità visiva.
Io sono @elettrona la responsabile di burocrazia e pubbliche relazioni per il blog PlusBrothers; il polo (HIV) negativo dell’atomo.
Insieme a @gifter il polo (HIV) positivo e autore di molti racconti su questo sito, abbiamo colto l’opportunità di iscriverci a questa comunità che sembra l’unico punto di riferimento per persone LGBT+ cieche e ipovedenti, in tutto il mondo.
Io da sola, o tutti e due, faremo del nostro meglio per discutere e mettere in atto azioni concrete per contrastare lo stigma su HIV, molto più pesante se hai problemi di vista, perché intorno ci sono un sacco di ostacoli.
Li ho vissuti personalmente in passato, essendo stata partner di un uomo che vive con HIV. E una di queste barriere è il test che, se hai una disabilità visiva, non è così anonimo come lo è per gli altri. Sei, inevitabilmente, osservato.
La nostra speranza è di lavorare in sinergia con un’intera comunità, perché prendere iniziative da soli non porta da nessuna parte.
Come primo ma non unico esempio, ci sono i test HIV fai da te.
Sembrano molto difficili da fare senza aiuto di un vedente, e i risultati soprattutto, sono disponibili solo visivamente – causando un importante problema di riservatezza.
Ogni persona, indipendentemente da condizione sensoriale o identità, ha il diritto di vivere la propria salute riproduttiva e sessualità in modo sicuro e appropriato.
Andiamo avanti, e vediamo come questa realtà potrà aiutarci ma soprattutto come noi potremmo aiutare loro.
Per maggiori informazioni sull’associazione, visita Blind LGBT Pride International (pagina inglese) ed effettua l’iscrizione.

The road to artificial general intelligence
The road to artificial general intelligence spans three key developments: current AI capabilities, the path to AGI, and the potential leap to superintelligence.
Today's artificial narrow intelligence (ANI) excels at specific tasks but fails at simple problems humans solve easily. As Sam Altman of OpenAI notes, AGI-like properties are "coming into view," while Dario Amodei of Anthropic predicts some form of "powerful AI" could emerge as early as 20261.
The path to AGI involves three main approaches: reverse engineering the human brain, simulating evolution through genetic algorithms, and creating self-improving AI systems. Hardware advances are keeping pace - by 2025, affordable computers may match human-level processing power of 10 quadrillion calculations per second2.
Once AGI emerges, an "intelligence explosion" could quickly follow through recursive self-improvement, potentially leading to artificial superintelligence (ASI) thousands of times smarter than humans. This superintelligent AI would have unprecedented capabilities, from controlling matter at the atomic level to potentially solving humanity's greatest challenges2.

It will be worth doing a bit more research to check if there's something we can do to improve the results we're getting from Postgresql but I have a strong suspicion that our needs are well beyond the capabilities of Postgresql.
I'd like to explore Manticore Search as an optional extra service that we can use. It's like ElasticSearch except less RAM hungry.

The below timeline accompanies our Black Market AI GPU investigation, our biggest project yet. We spent three weeks in Asia to uncover this story, including two weeks in China and one in Taiwan. We found smugglers, middlemen, and users of so-called “AI” GPUs that the United States government has banned for sale into China.

most likely, yes. It's shocking how shitty the security measures are on so many things.
There was a game a few years ago where the DRM was so insanely aggressive it wouldn't accept a legitimate key, and it only took about 2 minutes to break the DRM
Ever wonder why big tech companies go through data-breaches constantly? but 0% of privacy friendly things ever have that problem?
That's because your data on those privacy friendly services is encrypted with its own key so anyone who wants to break in and steal data would need to break into each account one at a time...so that's why facebook, google and amazon have databreaches all the time. because of a combo of shitty security and social engineering
privacy friendly services don't allow their workers to have the ability to give away the goods
I'm not sure.
Visible is a data plan that offers unlimited data for $25/month. If you pair it with Pandora and Blokada 5, you can get internet radio for free anywhere you have service.
You need to download and install Blokada 5 manually from their website, because screwgle banned the app from its app store for being too effective at blocking ads in apps.

Ever had an "AI" show up at 2AM on an emergency call to fix a gas leak? How about an "AI" to cook a breakfast sandwich? Maybe an "AI" is taking over babysitting while you're out of town...? No?
"AI" doesn't do anything. But if your job primarily revolves around words or pictures on a screen, maybe "AI" can help you with that.
"What then?"
"Same as it ever was!"
We all fight over resources that actually matter (like food, water, shelter and security) instead the previous things (money), for the enjoyment of our overlords.
Seriously, the people who have power to change the outcome of the future seem to either straight not be planning for this future scenario, or are planning for a horribly distopian version of this future scenario.
Ok great. He can go and live in there while we ignore him.
These bunkers are a boondoggle, what's the plan here, is he going to stay in there until civilisation rebuilds itself into a capitalist system. If so he's going to be waiting a while.
Same as ever…was that money wasn’t needed.
Do you need money within your neighborhood or your family? Do you pay people for giving a favor?
Money is a way to get people to do things they wouldn't otherwise do.
If you don't have automation you either have to have money or slavery. One of the other is required to keep society going otherwise no one's going to do the crappy jobs. Since someone has to do the crappy job you have to find a way to incentivise them and that's money or whips. Don't kid yourself into believing that money isn't necessary, it is.
I wonder how human societies survived without money, if this is so essential for the crap.
I wonder why people do crappy jobs for money? Is it because they need much money for things such as car, smartphone, playstation? For some food, you do not need much money. Actually you can grow it for yourself if you do not live in a big city.
Sure, if one got in this consumption trap, one needs a constant inflow of fresh money.
I think you've answered your own questions. Money doesn't have to be actual cash it can be bartering, I.e. I'll give you five carrots in exchange for your help to build this barn
But what if they don't need carrots right now, well you can give them a IOU for carrots whenever they want, and now you've invented money
It does matter. How much worth is helping a friend? Or how much money for your neighbors for caring your pets while you‘re in holidays?
Don’t you think they will refuse to take money for this favor? Not everything in humankind can be paid for.

This is a reminder that we are fully removing support for OpenVPN on January 15th 2026, in six months time.This means we will no longer have any OpenVPN servers in six months. Our apps have already defaulted to use WireGuard, with warnings about the usage of OpenVPN.
We blogged about this in November 2024.
If you are using OpenVPN in any way, we strongly advise that you switch to WireGuard via our app or on a router.
We have guides on how to use WireGuard in the help section of our website.
OpenVPN servers will continue to work until 15th January 2026, but new servers will not be added, and existing servers will be taken offline as the months go by.
It will not be possible to generate new OpenVPN configurations soon.

- An internal “Product Hierarchy” website had easily decryptable hardcoded credentials that provided a second way to download the details of every Intel employee. More hardcoded credentials made it possible to gain admin access to the system.
- An internal “Product Onboarding” website had easily decryptable hardcoded credentials that provided a third way to download the details of every Intel employee. More hardcoded credentials made it possible to gain admin access to the system.
- It was possible to bypass the corporate login on Intel’s SEIMS Supplier Site and further exploit it to download the details of every Intel employee (the fourth way). Additional client-side modifications made it possible to gain full access to the system to view large amounts of confidential information about Intel’s suppliers.

La loro ultima versione basata su Mint si basa sulla 21.3, mentre Mint ha sul sito la 22.1 (e la 22.2 in beta).
Per i punti 1. e 3. della mia lista vorrei mantenermi quanto più in paro con le ultime uscite.
Non ho problemi a cercare supporto in inglese, tranne per il comportamenti di alcuni rabbiosi contro i newbie come me, ed inoltre (ma credo sia un problema solo per il servizio di installazione via pacco postale) non risiedo in Italia.

in reply to fabriziob • • •Per quanto riguarda il supporto, chiedi direttamente a loro quando pensano di allinearsi a Mint. Non aspettarti però grandi cambiamenti tra la release 21 e la 22: di solito le differenze sono minime e basta attendere qualche settimana. Se sei nuovo di Linux, probabilmente non noterai nemmeno particolari differenze.
