   This project changed my life.

   Since hearing that "somebody named RMS" was going to "change the world by giving away an operating system", I've dreamed of making a lasting, meaningful contribution to the world through my contributions to FOSS. Thomas Markey, and the rest of the team, in creating FOSSHOST, have inspired me to focus my adult life around making that goal tactical.

   Fosshost can provides all of the tools a person needs to make this goal their own.

   I'm proud to support this project as a volunteer and of my employer for recognizing FOSSHOST along with FSF and SPI as important targets for our charitable giving via a recent email blast to employees.

   👍 Pros:    Diversity as a key orginizing principle|Free to use|Approachable via mentorship and flexability

   👎 Cons:    Foss only service provider

   Amazing

   My software repository for Arch and Arch-based Linux distributions is hosted at Fosshost for almost a year. So far, the experience has been superb. The performance of the Virtual Machine is really really good, the community is super friendly, and they are there to help if any issue arises.

   👍 Pros:    High performance|Great customer support|Fast support|Community|Open-source

• Quickemu: Quickly run optimised Windows, macOS and Linux virtual machines

  I agree, but I think that model of GPG is not how it's used any more. I think nowadays people upload a one-shot CI key, which is used to sign builds. So you're basically saying "The usual machine built this". Which is good information, don't get me wrong, but it's much less secure than "John was logged into his laptop and entered the password for the key that signed this" So, you're right, that GPG verifies... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Mozilla's new Firefox Linux package for Ubuntu and Debian derivatives

  You can use https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/, but that's no official Mozilla repository. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Mozilla's new Firefox Linux package for Ubuntu and Debian derivatives

  As a user of the PPA packages (https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa), now I'm confused. Are these the same packages? Should I switch? I'd have appreciated at least a mention in the article. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Firefox Developer Edition and Beta: Try Out Mozilla's .deb Package

  There's also a PPA: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa Though you'll have to convince Ubuntu to prefer that instead of the snap. It's not hard, certainly easier than installing Debian which is probably still what I should have done. I think I used this guide: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/04/how-to-install-firefox-deb-apt-ubuntu-22-04 Though what that doesn't tell you is that the snap... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Fedora Workstation 39

  Https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa A quick google will find plenty of sites telling you how to adjust the package versioning priorities to keep the MozillaTeam version of FF preferred over the crappy snap one. I still use Ubuntu desktop as my daily driver and server OS, and we have zero snaps installed on any of our systems. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
