This is from the Blues Brothers movie from 1980.

hmm, not sure why baca would need so many requirements. I installed baca using pip as per (https://github.com/wustho/baca), on a hedless ubuntu based server. Maybe on Arch it would need to install / update python packages?

You could also try epy (https://github.com/wustho/epy) which is also a terminal based epub reader.

baca is a terminal based epub reader. Quite nice.

Looks like a pretty straightforward install! And a fun project to have a personal message space with friends. It includes the ability to launch gameoso you could maybe set it up as a personal lobby for gaming buddies.

I think you would also need an initial run process such as systemd or the sysV runlevels.

This I understand, from a user space perspective the Flatpaks seems like a good thing; isolated from the OS. For a server only environment it seems to be less of an issue, provided that the sys admin knows what he/she is doing.

So what is the general consensus on package management these days on Debian based distributions? I may be old school by relying only on APT (DEB) for my Linux machines, and never really got into Snap, Flatpak, and what not. Is APT still most used? Or is there a significant movement towards Snap or something else. What I hated when I looked at Snap the last time is that distributions come with different concurrent architectures on package management, which from a point of view of organizing you system just doesn’t make sense. A difference between package management (APT/Flat/Snap) on the one hand and service management (Docker, k8, …) on the other hand I understand.

Those are some great pickup lines for a big bar on Friday! ;)

Be sure to check what’s lurking in that thing before you drop close to it, naked at the pretty parts…

There is also a very clear upwards trend I would say 😁
