Ich habe hier ein #Lenovo #T500, auf dem ich ein frisches #Linux #Mint installieren wollte. Allerdings mag es scheinbar nicht von USB booten. Mit F12 wird ein Bootmenü angeboten, was nur das optische Laufwerk und die Festplatte kennt, auch wenn der Stick mit eingesteckt ist.

Der USB-Stick ist bootfähig, die Partitionsverwaltung der alten Mint-Installation erkennt ihn auch als bootfähiges Device. Gibt es bei den T500 einen Trick? Oder muss ich doch eine Disk brennen?

Due to lack of FreeBSD support for the RPI5 I've been forced back to Linux and :shudder: Docker.

Everything about this feels backwards and non-intuitive.

It's almost enough to inspire me to begin work porting Bastille to use Linux cgroups.

All I want for Christmas is to be able to install FreeBSD on this RPI5 (wired is fine. I know we're not likely to support Broadcom wifi anytime soon!)

Looking for suggestions on a great, modern router for the ~1400sq ft cabin I'm living in this winter.

The existing Google Wifi (came with the place) is dying and needs a replacement.

What can you recommend?

🆕 blog! “How to *actually* test your readme”

If you've spent any time using Linux, you'll be used to installing software like this:

The README says to download from this link. Huh, I'm not sure how to unarchive .tar.xz files - guess I'll search for that. Right, it says run setup.sh hmm, that doesn't work. Oh, I need to set the permissions. What was the…

ProxLB with upcoming new major features for Proxmox based clusters

I woke up with an idea to create a fork of a software I love and of which there are no free and open source equivalents, this is a screenwriting software with basic features for film pre-production, but its developers abandoned it as they created a new one but paywalled most if the features. I however have no programming skills, and I'm wondering what it might take me to convince someone to work on this project? This is it

My Wireguard server stopped routing packets between clients a few days ago. Zero clue why; nothing changed in months. I noticed when my browser search stopped working on like Thursdayish, since I have my search engine set to my home SearXNG instance over wireguard.

I have this in my wg0.conf, which worked perfectly until then:

[Interface]
Address = 10.107.2.36/16
PostUp = iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wg0 -j MASQUERADE
PostDown = iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o wg0 -j MASQUERADE
ListenPort = 51820

Symptom: no packets are proxied.

What could have changed?

First test of the SAIR (Slackware AArch64 Installer Respin) tool completed 🎉

Built a variant of the Slackware AArch64 Installer using the Raspberry Pi kernel fork and installed it onto an RPi4. Works!

This is a stepping stone towards Raspberry Pi 5 support in Slackware. Starting on the Pi 4 since I don’t yet have a 5 in hand, but the groundwork is now in place.

Raymond Chen posted an interesting explanation of why most of the #Windows 95 installer ran on, oddly enough, Windows 3.1, and not on a stripped-down Windows 95 like you'd expect.

Tl;dr: floppies are too small for a second copy of 95.

#Floppy based #Linux installers, unlike Windows, did use the same Linux kernel for the installer…but unlike Windows they didn't have a GUI with a pretty background picture. If they did, they'd have had the same problem!

Hmm.. found an odd thing in Linux.. On my laptop which is an Intel AX201, Bluetooth audio works fine but on another laptop with Intel AX200 the audio is all distorted and choppy.. I've ruled out the wireless headphones since I used 2 separate ones and both worked perfectly fine on the AX201 but were horrible on the AX200.

Just wondering if there's anyone who has an AX200 chipset and has used Bluetooth audio on Linux with it before?

I heard that KDE could use some fundraising campaign artwork, so calling all artists who may follow me:

• If you like KDE stuff like Krita or Plasma etc..
• And if you like Konqi and Katie

We could use some artwork: Drawings of Konqi and Katie for fundraising efforts. Here is a good example: https://community.kde.org/File:Konqui-donation-002.png

The promo folk will explain more what they need specifically, I'm mostly a messenger.

It is volunteer work (so very likely no payment) and the artwork will have to have permissive license such as CC-BY-SA. And I understand for many artists that's a lot to ask.. But you never know if you don't ask right?

There's different style campaigns for different holiday seasons. If you're interested, let me know here or my email, and I'll give out details how to contact the promo team. You can also chat with them directly through their Matrix channel: https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/promotion

Here's examples of various artwork we have: https://community.kde.org/Promo/Material/Mascots

Edit: I don't think there's participation limit either. :)

And yes, this makes you a contributor to KDE! :)

I'm tired of sharing negative things only, so here's maybe something positive:

I've been on bugfix spree with KDE Plasma 6.5 beta. Found bunch of bugs in folderview, which is the thing that shows desktop icons and file icons inside folder widget. They should be more robust now, though I'm still hammering on an annoying edgecase crash.

I have also spent some time to make the widgets less laggy when they're moved on the desktop.

And uh a lot more i forget.

What's interesting though is that most bugs are related to very specific edge cases, I rarely see bugs that are in the way of normal use.
