Take Note

This week's donation went to KeePassXC. It's a fantastic FOSS password manager that you can find in your distro repo; a PPA; Flatpak and an App Image. You can use it on Linux; BSD; Mac and Windows. The code is licensed using GPLV2.0 and GPLv3.0.



The project's official website is here:

The team has a presence on Mastodon and Matrix:

They accept donations through a variety of methods including FOSS options such as Open Collective and Liberapay.

I used @e33io's script to install #LinuxMint themes on #Devuan, which does make it look quite good. I chose themes and icons with blue to match the Devuan colors.

https://git.sr.ht/~e33io/scripts/blob/6deb134abb81416d2b4c0bf0f934711291493e49/install-mint-themes.sh

Note: curl wasn't installed with the default Devuan install, so the script didn't work until I installed curl.

Please #boost. I'm looking for devices for storing long-term digital archives of files (text, PDF, etc, nothing exotic). Needs to be fairly futureproof. Probably doesn't need to be super high capacity (but it can be). I know certain kinds of optical media are designed for long-term storage, but I doubt our ability to find the right kind of drives in ten or twenty years, thus thinking USB will be a fairly stable physical interface. I'm willing to be convinced otherwise.

Doesn't have to be bottom-of-the-barrel; if (say) a typical USB stick isn't likely to work long term but some other USB-readable device is, I can look into that.

EDIT: After some reading I'm leaning toward an HDD, in FAT32 or EXFAT format, in a USB enclosure, with written instructions to spin it up once a year and reproduce it on new media every five years.

Question for the distro hoppers: Still reading this Linux book and it has a weird line "On Linux there's often a group called sudoers", my understanding is this is a Debianism, and most distros instead have a wheel group, is that correct?
