Yes, I have read the wiki.

As I said, flatpak no worky because you don’t have a system level install option.

Flatseal might help, but I do not know what I’d have to custom configure.

Ujust has no helper commands for i2p.

Homebrew might help for setting up the daemon, but i wouldn’t know how to connect it properly to a firefox or librewolf container tab, within bazzite.

… Quadlet.

Ok. This didn’t exist the last time I looked at the wiki a couple months ago, goddamnit.

I2P does have a docker set up guide… this might actually work, if it can direcrtly fuck with bazzite’s systemctl.

That being said: I have never use cli docker before so… wheee!

Uh other than that:

Distrobox is basically a very fancy docker container… maybe if I set up a whole distro, with I2P, and its own version of ffox, lwolf… that would work?

…afaik there is no official i2p appimage, and even if there was, its containerized, same problem as a flatpak.

… and finally, rpm ostree, the big no no… yeah, there is no official .rpm for i2p.

… I… guess… i could set up vanilla fedora… in distrobox… and try to compile it from source… and then… either install that rpm in the fedora-distrobox… or… bazzite itself?

… its mid night, im going to bed rofl.

Ah well I gueas thats fair if you… have indeed already fucked your ostree uh, raw, i think that was the word you used.

It is kind of annoying to not have that direct control, i get that, and i too am super used to debian based distros and apt after about a decade of being in debian or derivatives.

Yes, this did happen, but also, they fixed it, and owned up to and totally explained their mistake.

https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/important-announcement-regarding-system-updates-action-needed/2689

they should alias

ujust repent-and-seek-absolution

to some script of thoroughly robust set of rpm ostree conflict identifiers and reset/rollback commands, lol

EDIT: why distrohop, you have distrobox, Do ThIng There, LOL

Well uh, godspeed i guess, rofl.

It is good at least that rpm ostree has ways to view and manage such conflicts, and rollback to the bazzite image preset (keeps flatpaks and such intact, i think).

I can’t really tell too much of the … specifics of your business from what you’ve said, and that may be intentional on your part, which is entirely reasonable, don’t want to doxx yourself…

…but hey, as long as you are at least being realistic with your employees and not promising things you can’t actually promise, you have both my sympathy and empathy.

… I am not even sure you aren’t just a sole proprietorship, given that you never use ‘we’ and always use ‘I’ and ‘the business’ interchangeably.

But I must caution:

Fortunately, I have a good relationship with my supplier, and parts of these orders are going to sit on the shelf with my name on them to be picked up in the near future, helping push out my cost.

I have never met a small business owner who does not say they have a good relationship with their supplier, unless they are actively suing them, or just about to do so.

Usually its more like ‘great’ or ‘outstanding’, or ‘rock solid’ if they really have 5 to 10 year plus history with them, with either 0 hiccups, or very good communication when hiccups are or are about to occur.

… Good luck.

…

I used to do executive level reporting and analysis for a fairly major international logistics middle man coordinator.

I can only imagine my old office now, everyone running around with their hair disheveled, fielding non stop phones ringing off the hook.

Like uh…

That is the ‘de minimis’ exception, for individual orders of less than $800 being exempt from tariffs… which was how SHEIN and Temu and Alibaba/express… sent the US cheap consumer (and also many industrial) goods directly from manufacturers in PRC/HK … this is the closure of that exception or loophole, formally, in the CBP customs rules.

Thats all now at a 120% tariff, so your 40 dollar youtuber plushie is now… 88 dollars.

Starting June 1st, up to 200%, or 120 dollars.

I’ve seen reports that basically everything on SHEIN has roughly tripled in price already, as of this weekend.

… Everyone who has a dropshipping side gig, or merch store or some kind of ‘i use tiktok to sell scented candles i picked out the scents for and designed the container’… yeah thats all pretty much done now.

Fucking yeeeeeehaaaaw, this gonna be a wild ride.

… There are a lot of domain specific, contextually distinct ways one could interperet what you just said.

Could you be more precise?

I can think of at least two, totally different, practically opposite in meaning, ways of interpreting your comment, off the top of my head.

Oh, sure, a 23 yo intern and some VC bro fuckwad yeah, ok, yep, no security clearances whatsoever but fuck it, they just have Q clearance level access now, they just have SIPRnet access, their own accounts.

We already know other members of Elon’s parade of imbeciles at DOGE can’t even fucking figure out how to not expose their own remote logins to other government systems, and they’ve been getting those accounts hijacked by IP addresses in fucking Moscow already.

What could possibly go wrong?

DOGE continues to be the grandest scale, most insane, ongoing ‘cybersecurity event’/‘treason’ in history.

If anyone other than these fucks, in this exact situation, were doing this, they’d be getting black bagged by people who don’t exist and sent to facilities that don’t exist… possibly to many seperate facilities, at the same time, in many pieces.

I don’t even know what to say other than to drop into Tom Clancy lingo and say these fascist morons are actual clear and present dangers that warrant sending the guys that you’d send to go after the Rainbow Six guys if one of them goes rogue.

This is the Garry’s Mod version of GMan waltzing and trapezing into Black Mesa with a hoard of T posing Kleiners with physguns stuck in their crotches flailing about behind him, and then giving the two Kleiners that didn’t accidentally kill themselves by flinging props around, giving two of them just direct access, personal, remote log ins to, uh, the trunk lines set aside for for only secret, top secret, and all kinds of compartmentalized classifications levels of info.

Gman’s employers could be mapping out the network as we speak, spreading out laterally and trying to figure out ways to embed themselves with persistent presence.

jfc.

Oh weird, I misread that as public being skeptical of the idea of Elon’s life expectancy projecting forward beyond Q4 2025.

Hah!

What a silly mistake I made!

… Sadly, the first thing that comes to mind, upon reading your comment…

First, we take Manhattan… then we take Berlin.

… I am hopeful that I can make it either to, or at least nearer to Canada, into a blue state, within the next year…

I am fully expecting shit to get very bad, very fast now.

… At least I am white… as sickening as that is for me to say… it does make me less of a target.

…

Spent the better part of two decades telling my friends and family that what is happening now … is the trajectory we are on, and we must enact change now, while we still can, to avert this path.

… I don’t talk to any of them any more, as they all thought I was insane…

They didn’t believe ‘it could happen here.’

And now, it has.

And most of them would either entirely deny that it ‘has happened’, as they are neck deep in QAnon/MAGA insanity…

…or they would tell me that simultaneously they don’t remember me explaining how and why this could happen, how it became more and more likely as the years went by… and also, at the same time, just remember me being hysterical, about something, vaguely, for no reason they can remember.

So I realize this is a meme community but why not, its on topic:

… How is one supposed to install say, I2P, I2PD … on Bazzite?

I have tried the flatpak but it doesn’t work properly because it only installs at the user level via the app store/flatpak… not the system level.

I have tried to figure out how to set it up in a distro box and am apparently too stupid to figure this out.

I am also apparently too stupid to figure out which of the like 8 different kinds of ports I2P uses for one thing or another… I actually need to forward in my router.

help plz

They do specifically, multiple times, in multiple places in the wiki… tell you that you really, really shouldn’t use rpm-ostree unless you absolutely know exactly what you are doing… because you can run into dependency conflict hell, and then the tree build will fuck up.

Bazzite updates to a newer version of a shared dependency, but something you manually added… has not?

Or visa versa, your custom thing requires a newer version, or some dependency that is for whatever reason just a conflicting fork of an existing dependency?

Something is gonna break, potentially lots of somethings.

Welp we’ve got farm labor, cold turkey ‘detox’, no cell phones, communal bunks type rehab camps for… everyone on either hard drugs, or any kind of medically prescribed anti depressant or anti psychotic.

Thats still on the bingo card from RFK, to my knowledge, that hasn’t happened yet.

We’ve also got concentration camps guarded by I guess Blackwater (whatever they’re calling themselves now) for all homeless people, a few miles outside of major cities, and of course a 0 tolerance policy for existing in a major city while homeless.

That hasn’t happened yet, but Trump has outlined that idea a couple of times.

… that one will be super-fun as the economy crashes.

So… Trump has scared off the significant numbers of … well just any kind of immigrant, legal or illegal… farm laborers…

Cancelled a bunch of farmer loan assistance programs…

… And started a tariff trade war that makes it essentially impossible for them to… import needed materiel, export harvests… or even be able to plan for a future scenario with any kind of new established, solid trade paradigm.

… Man we’re all gonna starve, fucking great.

Because confirmation bias is a superior substitute to basic research, how else would one inform themselves about the world?

/s

What I’m suggesting is I am asking ChatGPT to validate my idea that all Filipinos have the same beliefs, wherever they are, almost as if their worldviews are entirely determined by their racial/ethnic origin.

Please stop and maybe read the things your write outloud before you post them…

… and you’d be wrong.

It does resemble a terrorist attack…

But if you watched the press conference with the chief of police (or the equivalent title)…

They have the suspect in custody, there were no specific threats to the event before hand, the suspect has a long history of mental illness, and the suspect has had many previous run ins with the police, ‘suspect is well known to the department’… gives me the impression this is a person who is having one kind of mental breakdown or another … every month or other week.

At one point a reporter asked if it was terrorism and the CoP basically says… that would require a political or ideological motivation.

The CoP … you could tell he was doing his best to divulge information he could without divulging information he couldn’t. He paused and tried to rephrase things a few times, openly struggled with … seemingly genuinely being unclear about what he was legally allowed to say.

If the person truly is seriously mentally ill, there may be additional laws in place protecting some extra level of their privacy, at least before charges are actually brought.

Put all that together, and it seems like this person has been just… very very seriously mentally ill for a long time, as in, too mentally ill to be capable of forming a coherent or describable ideology.

Or, at the very least, that seems to me to be what the police are saying.

I’m… I’m sorry clay. It’s not your fault.

Our mites, they just… they’re not compatible.
