  • Vscode is an IDE, but only after I spent 15 minutes finding and selecting the appropriate java extensions and ensuring that my Linux system had Java installed.

    But what was a 15 minute process to me, could easily be a 2 hour struggle to someone who is setting up a development environment for the first time and “just wants autocomplete and debugging”.


  • also as a bonus question, why does every IDE seem to require you to configure every single option before it can run code

    What IDE’s have you tried?

    Kate (and vscode) aren’t really IDE’s, they’re more like extremely extensible text editors. You can make them IDE’s, but they dob’t come like that out of the box.

    On the other hands, actual IDE’s often have the inbuilt capability to install and manage the programming language related software.

    You’re probably going to end up on Jitsi meet, but I’m also going to drop a recommendation for bigbluebutton.

    I recently noticed that it was integrated into the open source Learning-Management-System Canvas, which every school I have gone to so far uses.

    Although bigbluebutton doesn’t seem to explicitly support e2ee (but maybe this counts for something), if you are already using Canvas, BigBlueButton definitely worth looking at.

    I really, really wish people at my school would use the integrated bigbluebutton instead of using zoom, especially given I’ve seen people occasionally have issues with authentication for zoom, but all of that stuff is handled with bigbluebutton because it’s fully browser based and integrated into Canvas.












  • Maybe not some obscure ones, but here are some lesser known ones:

    Talos Linux. It’s an immutable operating system designed specifically to deploy kubernetes.

    OpenSuse Harvester Think Proxmox, but instead of VM’s and LXC containers, it’s VM’s and Kubernetes.

    XCP-NG is a RHEL based distro designed for managing Linux virtual machines using the xen hypervisor, as opposed to KVM. Think Proxmox, but RHEL and Xen (also no LXC). However, it does not come with a web ui out of the box, you have to deploy it yourself. Technically, XCP is a Xen distribution, since Xen is a kernel with nothing but a hypervisor that runs under the main distro, but the primary management virtual machine is RHEL based, and uses Linux.

    Speaking of Proxmox, Proxmox is technically a Linux distro.

    SnowflakeOS is a project that aims to bring a GUI focused experience to NixOS.

    TurnkeyLinux (site is loading very, very slowly for me right now) is not a single distribution, but rather a set of debian based distributions that are designed to be turnkey appliance virtual machines that contain and host a specific app. To deploy the app, all you have to do is set up the virtual machine.

    Now, here are some not-linux, but interesting distros:

    SmartOS. They ported KVM to unix, and also can use Linux syscall translation (similar to wine) to run apps in containers as well. There is also Bhyve. It’s a very interesting hypervisor platform.

    OmniOS is similar. Bhyve, KVM, and Linux syscall translation in containers.


  • Bluesky also offers both composable moderation and the ability to choose your own algorithm.

    Bluesky claims to offer the ability to choose your own algorithm, but this is not the same as actually doing it. Because Bluesky is not truly decentralized, and they control the backend where the algorithm and content sorting software is actually run, there is no way to verify if Bluesky is actually using the algorithm the user desires for them to use.

    Although I don’t think Bluesky will be lying so early, I fear in the longer term, enshittification will get to them, and that may manifest as users having the illusion of freedom, but actually having even less choice then what they started with on Twitter.
