  • I think that this should be done on the network level by providing a DNS Server via DHCP or include filtering in your router if you are afraid of users changing the DNS Server (but maybe it’s better to lock the network settings in this case).

    But I see that not every User has the possibility or ability to do it this way. therefor having the option to do it in the OS is feasible for these users.


  • I especially waited for the Parental control features to land in GNOME 50. Great to see they made it into the release. Now I don’t need aditional tools to enforce bedtime for my son.

    Document annotations in the Document viewer is also a nice thing. But I would rather have proper Signing support via certificates for professional use cases.



  • Thanks for the Tooltips. But I think instead of using a separate budgeting tool I could also just use my already existing banking solution and get the same result. These Budgeting Tools do not Hard limit or enforce a Budget. Because (for me) they are just more advanced Excel Sheets.

    But I want something more in the way of:

    • I sent some amount of money once per month
    • I can choose projects I want to donate to
    • Everything is tracked, but just visible for me
    • No possibility at all to exceed my budget and no linkage to my real banking account

    But I see that this intention of me was not clear in my inital post.







  • Can you help me out and point me to the transphobic slur in the linker Screenshots? Maybe i do not get “the slang” because Kam not actually familiar with it.

    OK, if it is not within the linked Screenshots then it is lacking context for me. Thats why I asked for mode context. To better understand.






  • Besides it being a learning project for yourself. Why should people care about it more then something like conan? I don’t want to downplay your project. But you need to bring something interesting or new to table to get people interested.

    Me personally I don’t think that package managers will ever be a widely used thing in the C/C++ world. Both languages are mostly used in low level or close to Hardware programming. Both requiring good understanding and knowledge of the Hardware you are running on. And this is contrary to the benefits a package manager offers, which is General purpose and easy to reuse code.





  • For me it’s openSUSE Tumbleweed on my Desktops/Laptops and openSuse Leap on my Servers. The killing Feature for me was the propper BTRFS integration with Snapper for seamless rollbacks in case I borked the system in some way.

    One “downside” for me is the mix of Gnome Settings and Yast on my Desktop. But I like yast on my servers for managing everything (enabling ports in firewall, network config, enable autoamtic isntall of security updates, etc.). Also openSuse is not that common, so sometimes it is hard to find a solution if you have a distribution specific question.

    Personally never looked to closely into openSuse Build Services (OBS). But I know some people who really like it.
