What is LURE? Memesplanation Linux Directory Structure 101 Free Your Internet No More Linux Support for 486 Machines 5.19 Kernel is EOL Now TTT 31.1: What’s LURE, Anyway? LURE stands for Linux User REpository, which is an expansion, of sorts, of the AUR, or Arch User Repository. The AUR allows Arch users to install just about anything from any other distro in their Arch-based distro. It builds packages from source, then uses pacman to install them. LURE will hopefully fill in those gaps for the rest of Linux, when it is ready. It uses a series of scripts like PKGBUILD to build native packages from source, it is written in GO, so has no subsequent dependencies after install. It will work with your distro’s package manager to install native packages, after they are built for you. It is in early alpha testing phases, so it is buggy and lacking features, but if you know GO and are inspired by this, you can contribute. https://news.itsfoss.com/lure-aur/ #TTT #Linux #Linuxtips #LURE #coolstuff #TechFreedom As I covered in some of my recent devotions, all we have to do is wait. God has all of this present garbage in hand. If we are patient and restrain our power, keep our strength in check, rather than seeking vengeance for the wrongs and injustices we have suffered through, we will inherit the earth. We will also have peace and joy in the midst of it, because our locus is centered in the future, where we know that God will have finished dealing with our enemies for us. #TTT #memesplanation #Bible #psalm37 #encouragement #patience #meekness #TechFreedom TTT 31.2: Linux Directory Structure 101 / is the primary system partition, under which everything else falls, from /root, to /home, to /dev, and all the rest. /root is the system home directory (what sudo accesses) /home is where all of your personal files live, along with personal configs, like theming and other things that pertain to your user experience /etc are system config files, for all services, apps, and scripts on the system, from package managers, to any number of other things. /boot hosts the bootloader, whether grub, or something else, compressed kernel images live here /opt is where all of your non-native apps live (skype, zoom, Discord, etc, that you installed from outside of your distro’s official repos /dev is where you see abstracted interfaces for plugged in devices, whether storage or human interface devices (mice, keyboards, etc) /var is for system-generated variable files (logs, caches, and the like) /bin is where user binaries live, including basic commands like mv, cat, mkdir, cd, and the like that all users can access /sbin is where system binaries are, things that need a sudo or doas in front of them in order to run /usr hosts system-wide libraries, user binaries, docs, programs, and system utilities /proc is where active process info lives /mnt is where you mount storage devices *flash drives, external storage, and optical storage drives /sys is the virtual file system to provide an interface to the kernel itself /media is removable devices /run temp filesystem that onlyexists while a system is running, similar to /sys /tmp temp files (lock files and the like live here) /lost+found recovery space for broken files that broke due to an unexpected shut-down, for instance /lib hosts system libraries linked to the binaries in /bin /srv is where service data lives, whether server-specific or service-related files That was allot of tech mumbo-jumbo at once, but hopefully that was at least somewhat helpful for you to understand what lives where in Linux, not that you’re likely to need to go spelunking through the filesystem very often, but this was something of a mystery for me until about a year ago, honestly. https://www.tecmint.com/linux-directory-structure-and-important-files-paths-explained/ #TTT #Linux #Linuxtips #underthehood #TechFreedom Free Your Internet https://techfreedom.pro/product/free-your-internet/ One-stop shop for getting you and your business transitioned off of Big Tech online platforms and tools, so that you have control of your data once again.

I kind of was. The last 486 chips to be made rolled off of the the line in 2007, and apparently it has been causing bugs and the like ever since, because while the rest of modern PC hardware has moved on from later x86-32 to x64, Linux has maintained support for that 16-bit ancient hardware that was first released 33 years ago. Until now. No more, according to Torvalds. https://news.itsfoss.com/linux-kernel-i486/ #TTT #Linux #kernelnews #rip486 #nevermore #TechFreedom #nothalloween TTT 31.4: 5.19 Kernel Officially EOL Not much to say here. If you were running a 5.19 variant, it was a short support cycle, which is normal, about 3 months from initial release to end-of-life. It brought us some good things, and manifested a quickly smashed bug that *could* destroy some laptop screens. Many distros ship the 5.19 by deafault now, so be sure to upgrade to 6.0 or downgrade to the 5.15 LTS to make sure that your system is as safe as it can be. This is not Windows or MacOS that will force an upgrade on you, but heed the developers, here, people. https://9to5linux.com/linux-kernel-5-19-reached-end-of-life-users-urged-to-upgrade-to-linux-kernel-6-0 #TTT #bonus #kernel #Linux #nomore519 #TechFreedom 10 Things My Wife Thinks You Should Know about Tech Freedom. https://rumble.com/v19elx6-10-things-about-tech-freedom.html?mref=2jfr3&mc=anr3y #TechFreedom #wifeysauce #getfree #explainer

Be reminded, God has your back. He will strengthen you if you lean on Him. He is your protector, if you will trust Him. He is Good. He is faithful. Choose to trust Him today. Straight up. Test Him. Prove Him. #distromonday #Truth #trustGod #Isaiah #restinHim #memesplanation #TechFreedom

Ephesians 3:20-21... How able is God? However big your imagination of His power and glory may be, He is immeasurably more able than that. Give Him the glory for how He is going to change our situation. As always, though, if He leads you to do something, just do it. What can you do to shift things for people, one thing at a time? How can you be a blessing? #distromonday #memesplananation #God #Heisable #anything #ephesians3 #Bible #TechFreedom

As we begin our move toward Christmas, remember that this is still true of the Lord. He will never break the brokenhearted, He will gently protect the ones who admit to being at their rope’s end, and He will come through for you. Truth. This passage is from Isaiah 42, and is about the Messiah, or the Servant of the Lord, whose commission it is to set the world to rights. Jesus is still about that work for and in us and the world. Find comfort in that Truth, today.

How can we be “fully alive”? There is a bit more to this quote than is shown here... The rest goes something like, “And man is only fully alive when he beholds God.” Or something like that. How do we behold God? Partially in nature, partially in Scripture, partially in one another, and partially in prayer. Which of these things ring the most true in your life?

Another quote from St. Ireneus, this time breaking down what the incarnation was. Life in Christ is a process of being transformed from glory to glory, according to Paul, but to what end? Ireneus suggests here that the ultimate end is communion with God, as Jesus prayed for us in John 17. God has been on a restoration project from the moment Adam and Eve ate that fruit. The ultimate end of that project is that all His image-bearers would be able to unite in Him, both individually and corporately, that is the image of the marriage feast of the Lamb in Revelation.

Pertinent words from CS Lewis today, what do you sense that this season in your life or our country’s life do you think might be preparing you or us for? I have always sensed this truth in my life, though to be honest, I am unsure how all of the pieces fit together right now. I still believe it, though. He is too good to waste things in our lives, even when we blow them up ourselves.

I was talking about humility recently, and this fits the bill as a succinct summation of it, however, I would add that it is the ability to think of oneself less because one is more concerned with God’s thoughts about you and the rest of the world, vs your own thoughts and opinions. We get to that place when we trust that He truly has us, so we don’t have to scramble to defend ourselves or anything like that, because our Father has us taken care of.
