  • ubuntu-report

    Report hardware and other collected metrics like installer or upgrade information

  • It's trivial to disable any telemetry considering it's open source:

  • lilac-docker

    Discontinued [Moved to: https://github.com/andrewzah/service-automation]

  • For people who use docker at work, avoiding it is simply not possible. Our stack revolves around images (not necessarily docker), so *bsds are dead in the water for me.

    Additionally, orchestrating is simplified with docker-compose vs managing many jails. I used to manage freebsd jails via cli in FreeNAS, but orchestration with docker-compose is much easier and trackable in git. Transferring between machines is as easy as setting up docker, git cloning, and setting secrets. [0] Podman solves some issue docker has, but using stuff like S6 [1] in containers helps a ton.

    Don't get me wrong- OpenBSD and FreeBSD are amazing distros. OpenBSD has the best user experience in my opinion, which is why I use it for my router. But they suck for modern gaming and stuff like docker.

  • tuya-convert

    A collection of scripts to flash Tuya IoT devices to alternative firmwares

  • I didn't try to run a command, I ran this exact script: https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert/blob/master/i...

    Actually you could be right - that script does run `python3` after apt-get'ing everything it needs. Anyway..

    I didn't look into it any further because I didn't feel like investing any time into learning the 'Ubuntu way'.

    I installed Debian instead and it worked perfectly without any grief. It also worked perfectly on PopOS when I used it a few days later on a different machine.

    Canonical can make whatever changes they want of course, I've just become increasingly less patient when it comes to machines not acting how I have come to expect. So I'll just stick to what works. Oh man - I'm becoming one of those old dudes...
