Vivaldi, run by the old opera team, has their own adblock built into the app itself

You’ll hate to hear this and it’ll age you 50 years but… The new generation doesnt use Google unless everything else fails. They will search discord, tiktok, and ChatGPT directly first before they ever touch google 🫠

Bazzite, since you’re gaming.

It’s truly the dark horse that is phenomenal that doesn’t get enough attention if you’re focused on gaming

The included distrobox software can effectively let you run any other distro in a nice container and install things as well.

Y’all act like you’ve never used makepkg or opened up a pkgbuild in a text editor smh.

Aur helpers have spoiled y’all

You’ll learn pretty quickly that a large chunk of self-hosting people are the types that are just terrified of having things be outside their control, which by extension means they are terrified of other people that aren’t them running infrastructure. 🫠

Vivaldi will not maintain compatibility with manifest v2, and will instead just rely on their inbuilt ad blocker.

To me that just signifies the company has stabilized and no longer needs to put out statements constantly to keep eyes on them for marketing reasons.

There’s nothing ‘informative’ on that article. It’s just an opinion piece.

It’s 2024, I think we can move on from cringe systemd hating.

This is like being still angry that Windows 7 is heavier than windows XP.

Doesn’t look dead to me.

Are you wanting monthly updates or something?

I don’t get why people freak out if they don’t see constant updates. Is this the result of Fortinite updates on one’s brain?

The problem is discord never deletes files, no matter how old they are. So they have a perpetually growing storage need

My only gut ‘guess’ is that your original mirror was out of date, then you happened to switch to one mid sync potentially.

well… thats a good sign at least. hopefully it finally latched on to some working mirrors then. I’d surely think it should find that library now lol

this is very, very strange. I have the following in my /etc/pacman.conf

[core]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[multilib]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Does yours look like that?

and for mirror list, I have the following mirrors:

Server = https://mirror.stephanie.is/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://nocix.mm.fcix.net/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://ohioix.mm.fcix.net/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://mnvoip.mm.fcix.net/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://arch.mirror.ivo.st/$repo/os/$arch

these settings yield me the python library just fine

Entertain me, what’s the output of pacman -Qi python| grep Architecture?

I suppose you could also clean out cached packages with pacman -Scc and then delete the package database files in /var/lib/pacman/sync so that you know for a fact that you are getting a fresh sync and it not depending on anything cached.

but the package is certainly there, are you able to directly download it from https://arch.mirror.constant.com/extra/os/x86_64/python-polib-1.2.0-2-any.pkg.tar.zst from a browser so we can rule out any weird dns fuckiness?

Well for the arch.mirror.constant.com mirror at the top, its certainly there. so doing pacman -Syyu python-polib Should find the package.

For sanity’s sake, you are on a X86_64 system, right?

What mirror entry ended up in at the top after running reflector? I can just check the mirror directly.

The package comes up for me just fine on whatever I have for a mirror currently. I’ll have to look in a bit what mirror I use

I would check that your pacman mirror is not out of date and sees the new package.

You’ll be shocked to know that bluesky is open source then and PDS is well on its way to allowing you to host your own instance.
