Ages ago someone wrote a bash script that would calculate your “stallman score”, essentially checking the license of every package in your system.

From absolutely-proprietary:
“the FSF considers the v7.9x license to be non-free - however, the previous license was apparently non-free also”

That’s all I know

It’s called vrms (virtual RMS) and Debian at least packages it.

7 out of 705 installed packages are non-free packages on my RPi server.

It’s called check-dfsg-status since Stallmann stepped down after his controversial statements in Minsky’s Epstein scandal.

Id say around 80% since I use a lot of foss programs and only use linux/android/openwrt/brother printers. The other 20% is random proprietary stuff like steam I guess to be generous.

I don’t know what to say about people who I told about lichess but still think chess.com is better

Maybe just say why it is better:

  • No ads / subscriptions
  • No tracking
  • Free software is really fast
  • You can do many projects with Lichess
  • Clean non-cluttered UI

So, in summary, it’s not hyped up (marketing), clean, no tracking, free chess.com experience.

I don’t know what are the advantages’ chess.com has over Lichess right now. The chess should be free.

Why Obsidian when there’s so many good foss note-taking apps?

You could list it, but I tried to migrate Obsidian to Logseq. For now, I have no time. I mostly write MarkDown though.

Why todoist and not tasks.org

I cannot get the same features on the desktop so it’s synced up. Besides that only Taks.org on Android is even better than Todoist.

I use nextcloud for tasks and then use tasks.org on android, not sure what features you need, but that has worked great for me

As much as I can get it, and more every year.

All my computers run Linux exclusively. Gaming desktop, personal laptop, Steam Deck, work laptop, and all my servers in my home lab.

Hypervisor is XCP-ng, VMs are a mix of Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and some random other Linux distros for testing and experimenting.

My NAS is a TrueNAS Core box.

I’m in the process of switching my router to PFSense.

Phone is a Pixel 6a with GrapheneOS.

Email, VPN, and cloud storage is Proton.

Password manager is Bit Warden.

Office docs are all Libre Office & Only Office.

The only non-FOSS software I use constantly is Discord and Steam, and of course, most of the games I play. On my phone I have majority FOSS apps for everyday stuff, but some things are still proprietary.

Seems you also use a bit of freeBSD in your setup besides Linux. Still FOSS though!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
