@npub1mmr…ql8w beautiful shot! I'm on the same distro and release, lemme ask you, did #gpg break recently on you? It now can't validate sigs on packages here...

Hey Fedi, quick #question. For a while now, I wanted to make my (already self-hosted) #git repository available on the web, but only in a bare-minimum, read-only way. The stuff big forges use (gogs, gitea, gitlab, etc) is too big and featureful for the quick'n'dirty thing I want. No accounts, no writing. Simple.
So what do you recommend? I think something like the https://git.kernel.org interface could work, maybe even simpler. Would it, without anything extra installed allow git cloning?

Whether it's a Finnish style of Heavy Metal or some sort of electronic music genre, this command sounds like what Torvalds would listen to while hacking away at the Linux Kernel

Sort of noobish #question that has never really hit me before: how do you change your icon / widget theme from the command-line?
Usually I just copy the theme files to ~/ and choose the theme with lxappearance, but it seems that package isn't included in #AlpineLinux 3.18 (it is in testing). Huh.
Guess it's not a very magical thing in the end? But all answers I find searching around are specific to Ubuntu.

So, that #Chrome is bad is a no-brainer, but it looks like MS Teams will not work completely (video calls + audio) in #Firefox. And I don't mean it in the "change UA settings" way, I guess Microsoft just uses something specific to Chrome's engine on it, I think.
So if you depend on this shitty app for work but don't wanna use Chrome (or the desktop client), what do you do? Honest #question.
