Snapd notifications really need to be better handled. If I update the snap then why keep the notification about it on my screen?

#snapd #snap #linuxapps #snapisOKIguess

arg. Eigentlich wollte ich die freien Tage nutzen um mal updates zu machen. also mit einer VM angefangen. Aber mittendrin wurde das Netzwerk deaktiviert, konnte das Update aber über die Konsole fertig machen und rebooten. Nach dem Reboot waren alle Container weg. Danke snapd, hat einfach alles gelöscht. Zum Glück hab ich Backups also rausfinden was wiederhergestellt werden muss.

Nun läuft wieder alles.

Macht Backups und testet es auch.

I documented limitation of #snapd mount namespace persistence on the #snapcraft forum: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/per-snap-mount-namespace-persistence-limitations/48354
Per-snap mount namespace persistence limitations

Snapd maintains a persistent mount namespace for each snap instance, that is for each snap or each parallel install of a given snap. The namespace is constructed automatically for the first invocation of application, including service, or hook that executes within the context of a particular snap. All mount namespaces are persisted as bind-mounted fragments of the nsfs, namespace filesystem, a pure-in-memory file system supported by Linux, stored over empty placeholder files stored in the /run/...

My colleague Maciej is working on preparing #snapd for submission into #openSUSE Factory. There's a very long standing thread from security review at https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1127368#c35 and, after a few years, we believe we've provided all the changes that were originally requested.

Snapd is many things but one of the key properties is a strong desire to build an ecosystem founded on strong security principles. The path to the summit is long and winding but we make progress every day.

I am interested in backporting #snapd 2.71 back to #Debian Trixie. If you are a Debian user please respond and consider boosting this for wider reach.

Are you using packages from the backports repository?

Yes, I use backports.

I just released #snapd 2.71-1 into #Debian unstable. I will garden the BTS which has been somewhat neglected, apologies for that. I hope one day Debian will grow a basic web interface for bug tracking that does not involve sending email to make state changes.

The generation after me shuns IRC but I'm the generation that's definitely not in love with email. When I'm not on another planet that is light-minutes or light-years away, I want to use a synchronous interface.

Happy testing everyone!

Make peace with your brain...

While I am totally in favor of blocking and ignoring people, tonight I was blocked because I wrote that I would never touch anything that is made with #dotnet, #csharp and #mono... please, allow me to add also #electron... and what else? 🤔

Found it... I also actively avoid #flatpak and #snapd... 🙈

Feel free to block me right away, thanks! 👍

Some how I am very envious of the 60MB RAM footprint while booting into a #linode #vps. The best I could get onto my #homelab is 300MB usage on a #Ubuntu cloud image. This is unfortunately the same as my desktop #ArchLinux with #KDE running.

The Ubuntu server image idled at 600MB RAM usage with #docker & #sshd. The culprits using most ram are #snapd & #multipathd.
