The GTK file picker Firefox wants to use by default is meh. I'm not sure why it doesn't use the one provided by the OS when it's just one about:config tweak away. Change widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker from 2 to 1 and you get the much, much better KDE file picker. Assuming you're using @kde of course.

It's been a problem for ages on multiple operating systems, not a new thing. At least now you don't have to set environment variables and change startup scripts.

OK, WTF is going on with #xfce #terminal ?

I've been noticing a lot of files with blank names showing up recently. None of the usual tricks to find "blank named files" worked.

But when I do

ls -li

to show the inode number and then

find . -inum <inode number>

I see that there IS a filename. Buh?

So I opened up #xterm and looked at the same thing. No, the files *do* have names. XFCE IS HIDING THEM

Hiding them how? Well, I can highlight the text and it seems to be a foreground character there. What is it?

If I paste that highlight into an editor, the text is visible.

What the actual fuck?

#linux

aha, it's

ls --color=auto

hiding them somehow

in fact, a little more investigation shows that it's just the #SolarizedDark terminal color preset that's hiding them

RE: https://mastodon.online/@jchyip/116176791660236896

This post explains the value of enforcing a one week pause between a new package is published and when most people can install it.

The practice follows the "safe by default" principle, allowing a smaller group of people a week to notice if the package contains an exploit before wide distribution.

Much like how beta releases have been used or other kinds of phased rollouts.

#Linux

Is there a good #Docker UI for #Linux?
I don't want to deal with the terminal on a touchscreen tablet to run docker compose, nor do I want a "ui" that is a web application.
I'm looking for a full native application that I can start from the menu. Because typing is not great on a touchscreen tablet.

Found that #NVIDIA released new #Beta Branch of their #drivers 595.45.04.

For #FreeBSD:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/265311/

#Linux counterparts:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/265309/

Note that this won't appear in #FreeBSD #ports, as it's "Beta".
"-devel" variants in ports are for whichever the newer of "New Feature Branch (NFB)" or "Production Branch (PB)" of drivers.

Investigating for future NFB or PB upgrades, FreeBSD native driver ports should work by overriding version as usual.
But Linux counterparts (installed by overriding version of x11/linux-nvidia-libs{-devel}) need some fixes.

Beware! This version does NOT work on pre-Turing generations of GPUs, just as 590 series.

If the creator of Linux relies on source control, so can you! 💻🔥

An update on GNOME Calendar: Georges livestreamed himself reviewing and merging parts of merge request !598, making the month view easier than ever to navigate with a keyboard!

This merge request introduces a coordinate-aware navigation system in the month view, which computes the coordinates of relevant event widgets and finds the nearest widget relative to the one in focus when using arrow keys. When tabbing, focus moves chronologically, meaning focus continues to move down until there are no event widgets overlaying that specific cell, which then moves focus to the topmost event widget found in the next cells or rows; tabbing backwards goes in the opposite direction.

To illustrate the sheer complexity of navigation in a calendaring app, here is Georges's live reaction:

"Wow, congratulations, this is looking INSANE, Hari... The hell is going on here"

— Georges, maintainer of GNOME Calendar - https://youtu.be/smofXzVwNwQ?t=1h24m6s

#GNOMECalendar #GNOME #GTK4 #libadwaita #accessibility #a11y #FOSS #OpenSource #Linux

Everyone, rejoice 🙌

Georges livestreamed himself reviewing and merging accessibility contributions in GNOME Calendar again, specifically the entirety of merge request !564 — introducing keyboard-navigable month cells.

This means, as of GNOME 50, GNOME Calendar's month view will be 100% navigable with a keyboard for the first time in its history! The only thing that needs to be done now is interfacing with assistive technologies such as screen readers properly.

Do note that the screen recording attached won't have any alt text, to avoid redundancy. Everything written below is a detailed explanation of the experience, and the recording is essentially a visual demonstration:

- When tabbing between events, focus moves chronologically, meaning focus continues to move down until there are no event widgets overlaying that specific cell, which then moves focus to the topmost event widget found in the next cells or rows; tabbing backwards with Shift+Tab goes in the opposite direction.
- On the last event widget, pressing Tab moves focus to the adjacent month cell. Conversely, Ctrl+Tab on any event widget does the same thing.
- Pressing an activation button (such as Enter or Space) displays the popover for creating event. Additionally, pressing and holding Shift while pressing arrow keys selects every cell between the start and end positions, until the Shift key is released, which displays the popover with the selected range.

Both merge requests !564 and !598 have taken almost an entire year to explore various approaches and finally settle on an approach that works the best for our use case. All of this was done voluntarily, without any financial backing from any entity apart from donors and people sharing these posts to others — something that keyboard navigation in the vast majority, if not all, of views in (proprietary) calendaring apps developed by trillion-dollar companies have not even managed to reach feature parity. If it is not too much trouble, please consider funding my accessibility work on GNOME, thank you ♥️

Hardware hotplug events on Linux, the gory details

One day, I suddenly wondered how to detect when a USB device is plugged or unplugged from a computer running Linux. For most users, this would be solved by relying on libusb. However, the use case I was investigating might not actually want to do so, and so this led me down a poorly-documented rabbit hole.

With #GrapheneOS announcing support for presumably more smartphones by #Motorola starting with with 2027 models, I can finally dream of getting a clamshell flip phone that combines good HW, a nice OS with a small form factor: #RazrUltra! 🎉🕺

However, with Google's new #desktopmode rolling out these days, it might probably worth to think about large folding phones like #RazrFold which might double as a notebook replacement using a BT keyboard & optional USB-C monitor connection. 🤔 It comes with more weight, size & a higher price tag. 🫣

My #Pixel8 will last a few more years anyway. It's more likely that the #OnePlus5 of my wife finally kicks the bucket so that she'll get the Pixel while I buy a Motorola.

Would you accept the downsides of the larger #Fold in order to replace your personal notebook? Would you be able to replace a #Linux desktop with an #Android? Well, at least there seems to be a native #Emacs for Android. Unsure if it'd provide same UX though.

I'm Blake — reintroducing myself as I'm back on the timeline.

I'm a Cloud Engineer working in Site Reliability and DevOps in the healthcare industry. I design and build highly scalable, resilient infrastructure that powers modern healthcare systems. Day-to-day I work with .NET, JavaScript, and TypeScript to deliver reliable platforms.

Outside of work, I build with Go — creating tools that prioritize performance, privacy, and user empowerment.

A couple things I'm working on:

RideAware — A cycling training platform for building structured training plans, analyzing ride data, and completing indoor workouts all in one place.

Arcline Hosting — A self-hosted web hosting service for people who want to know exactly where their data lives. It runs on hardware I own and operate — no AWS, no Cloudflare, no third-party CDN. Shared, WordPress, and VPS plans with personal ticket and email support.

My core interests span SRE, cloud infrastructure, DevOps/automation, and network engineering. I spend a lot of time with Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and enjoy digging into routing, firewalls, and secure network design.

I'm here because I care about privacy, self-hosting, and building things that give people more control over their own data. Good to be back — looking forward to reconnecting with this community.

In prep for the Windows 12 rollout, now is a good time to get your town's Linux Install Parties planned and advertised.

Here's my town's https://fxbginstall.party/

Here's a quick how-to guide to spinning one up in your town:

Goals:
- Install Linux on your neighbors' laptops. This preserves older laptops ( #permacomputing #ewaste prevention). This removes people from one part of the surveillance economy. And it saves people money.
- The party should be geared towards NON-TECHIES. This is NOT a Linux Users Group. This is not for enthusiasts. This for folks who just want their computer to work and let them do the basics. Bend the tech to the people, not the people to the tech.

Date and Time:
- Shoot for monthly parties. Try for a specific day of the week. Say the "First Saturday" or "Second Sunday" of every month.
- Easy for folks to remember and if they miss one month, they'll be there the next month
- Try for between two hours to four hours for the event.
- Be consistent. Show up for the full time even if no one shows up. Some times it takes two or three meetings before people start to come regularly.

Location:
- Shoot for a public community area
- The best bet is your local library if they have rooms or conference areas.
- City community centers are good, too
- Also look for religious institutions, civic orgs, or fraternal orgs if need be. It needs to be open to
the public, though, with no requirements to push other agendas on to visitors.

Linux Distro:
- Shoot for a single distro that caters to folks who are new. I usually go for Linux Mint, but go with what you like. Focus on ease of use and familiarity for folks who arent used to Linux or various Desktop Environments.

Waivers & Backups:
- Everyone should sign a waiver. You keep the signed waiver. They can have a copy of the waiver
- Explain that while you and other volunteers will make your best attempt to install Linux, you make no guarantees. You may brick their machine accidentally. And no files that were on the harddrive will remain. Everything will be deleted.
- They should make backups of their files before you start the install process (either online/cloud, or local on a USB)
- Some folks want you to try for a dual-boot, but thats up to you if you want to offer it. Still let them know that you might brick the machine even (especially?) if you try for a dual boot install.
- Example Waiver: https://tldp.org/HOWTO/Installfest-HOWTO/legalprotection.html

Advertisements:
- Create a simple brochure website and fliers with info and time and date
- Use words like "Update to a modern, private, and fast operating system. No monthly subscription. No cost. Volunteers will install for you." Appeal to folks whose laptops cant upgrade. "Can't install Windows 11 or 12? Don't throw your laptop away, install Linux. It's free, up to date, and secure" Etc etc.
- Use your town's local social media (eg Town Subreddit, Online/Offline Classifieds, Library Announcements, Town Events Page)
- Post fliers in various coffee shops, libraries, bars, restrooms, and community centers
- Tell other similar groups (hacker spaces, maker spaces, linux groups, etc) both to spread the word and get volunteers
- Word of Mouth: Just tell everyone you run into. And tell them to tell everyone they know.

What to bring:
- Multiple install media/USBs with your Distro on it to install on the laptops
- A couple "Demo Laptops" with your distro of choice installed for people to try out (install games, office suites, common programs for folks to try it out - aim for what people use so various browsers including Firefox and Chrome, Zoom / Teams, LibreOffice, MS Office on browser, browser games, desktop games, etc)
- Your own laptops to do internet lookups and specialized downloads (weird stuff happens - its good to be prepared)
- Extension cables and power strips
- Cheap USBs for last minute backups prior to installation that folks can take home with them
- Some screwdrivers or tools to open up laptops for light repair if you like

What to do:
- Greet folks as they come in and invite them to try out the demos
- Encourage questions and discussions (AVOID DISTRO FLAME WARS OR WHICH WINDOWS MANAGER BEATS WHAT DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT FOR FUCKS SAKE! THESE ARE NORMAL PEOPLE DONT SCARE THEM AWAY WITH YOUR NERD SHIT!!!!)
- If folks brought laptops for installation explain and have them sign their waivers, make sure they know all files will be deleted, ask if they've made backups, and then install!
- Help folks troubleshoot issues or install programs for those that already have Linux installed and need community support

That's it. Make it a regular occurrence and you'll get folks coming in for fresh installs monthly and to ask for help with previous installs. Also a really chill way to meet other folks and have a lovely afternoon.

If you have any questions, post up in this thread.

If you have any suggestions or tips and tricks that have worked at your own Linux Install Party, share with us as well!

Edit to add: The Windows 12... scare?... seems to be a hoax brought upon by AIslop. But there will be a Win12 at some point, and a 13, and so on. And the recent Win11 forced upgrade is what spurred my group to create a Linux Install Party in the first place. It's always best to have a place for folks to land, one that is already running and well established. So, honestly, still in prep for the Windows12 rollout, whenever it comes, get a Linux Install Party going now.
