#Mastodon tip: There is a way to use only part of a word as a hashtag!

For example, you might want to say the word “toots”, but use the hashtag “toot”.

To do this, place a U+2060 WORD JOINER before the “s” in “toots”. Example: #toot⁠s.

If you're using #X11 or #Wayland (i.e. #Linux or #BSD desktop), you can add the following line to ~/.XCompose to give yourself a keyboard shortcut:

<Multi_key> <w> <j> : "⁠" U2060 # WORD JOINER

Then just type Compose, then W, then J.

I remember saying I'd install #freebsd on my laptop a while ago. Life got in the way, but I've done it now. Tried #LuminaDesktop didn't like it much. Happy with #XFCE. Next up, install a web browser and #Tuba for #mastodon

After decades with #linux, it was very easy to get FreeBSD running (cli WiFi, desktop etc). 😁👍

@lproven on how we lost more advanced #computers:
https://liam-on-linux.dreamwidth.org/98868.html

"So we went backwards. [...] Out went multiple different purpose-built OSes for different purposes and platforms. Out went using the best language for the job and the best platform and OS for the job. And out went #GUI-only OSes.

Instead, in came the lowest-common-denominator, stupidest, simplest, but !!FREE!! #OS that could with a tonne of work do everything.

[...]

1980s computers were all amazing and very cool.

1990s ones turned into boring beige boxes, as dull as staplers, but there were occasional flashes of brilliance - most of which you couldn't afford.

Then by the 2000s nothing was left but staplers. It's all just office equipment now.

Devices like modern phones and the #ReMarkable make me want to cry, they are so stupid and so clunky.

[...]

I watched my chosen field go from bold and innovative to a sad bunch of efforts to polish turds. It is heartbreaking."

On #Linux how to share package list and env deets across distros & laptops?

Previously I used #Ansible for packages and global config and YADM for local dotfiles.

YADM has worked well. It's basically git for $HOME so there's not much to learn and it's stays in sync.

My Ansible configs quickly and repeatedly drifted out of sync because it's to easy to install something manually and never go back reflect it in Ansible. Cross-distro, things get even hairier.

Today I'm looking at #Nix instead.🧵️

Title: You are not expected to understand this Text read: The infamous program comment "You are not expected to understand this" occurs on line 2238 of the source code (Lions' Commentary, p. 22) at the end of a comment explaining the process exchange mechanism. It refers to line 325 of the file slp.c.[9] The source code reads:[10][11] The source code: /* * If the new process paused because it was * swapped out, set the stack level to the last call * to savu(u_ssav).

🌟 Introducing BSD.cafe 🌟

Excited to present the first building block of the BSD Cafe project! When I registered this domain months ago, I envisioned a themed bar where we can casually chat about *BSD systems, Linux, and Open-Source technology among friends, acquaintances, and patrons. But like any bar, discussions can cover a wide range of topics while respecting everyone.

BSD.cafe will be a hub for various tools and services, powered by *BSD.

The first brick is a new Mastodon instance, a gateway to the Fediverse. Registration is open, and the server will be moderated under clear guidelines promoting good behavior and zero tolerance for hate towards anyone. Inclusivity, respect, and constructive dialogue are the key values of this new instance.

The main server is currently hosted in Finland on a small VM, based on #FreeBSD. Services are divided into VNET jails, connected in a LAN via a local bridge. A VPN system is also present and have been able to move individual jails to different, more powerful, machines.

Multimedia data and cache are hosted on another physical server (FreeBSD, within a jail), with Cloudflare in front. The aim is to cache and geodistribute data, reducing network traffic on the main VPS.

Reverse proxy (frontend), mail server, media server, and the instance itself are reachable via #ipv6.

The instance started empty. No unnecessary content was pre-loaded; I want it to grow organically based on users' interests and following. There won't be any preemptive blocks at this stage. Users are encouraged to promptly report anything they find worth flagging.

Join us at https://mastodon.bsd.cafe to build a constructive and inclusive community—a safe and relaxing space for everyone.

Our wiki, located at https://wiki.bsd.cafe, features essential links and articles related to the BSD world. It provides an overview of the tools, services, rules, uptime, and more information about the BSD Cafe Services.

A Matrix server, a Miniflux RSS Reader, the Wiki itself, and the BlendIT Lemmy instance are all part of the BSD Cafe services, with more to come.

Linux ported to Sega’s Mega Drive

If you have a Sega Mega Drive, you obviously want to run Linux on it. That's something you can do now. You do need to have an EverDrive, but don't worry, the port in question contains a custom fork of Qemu for those of us that don't.

I don't know what else to say, other than I wonder why nobody did this sooner.

#Linux

@ChuckMcManis @AnachronistJohn @f4grx I'm oretty shure @pid_eins didn't start #SystemD "for the lulz", but because #SysVinit #Linux took longer to boot on a midrange laptop in 2007 than it took me to get out of bed, get dressed, brush my teeth and eat breakfast back then…

In Go we format with gofmt. In Python we use black. What do we do in JavaScript?
I have tried installing oxfmt, but it says "not in #OpenBSD".
It should preferably work on all platforms, and be recent enough to include #ES6.
I prefere it to be strict.

New blog post!

I've only used it for a few weeks, however I've quickly come to ❤️ Void Linux.

I show the choices I make to create an encrypted Root-On-ZFS minimal Linux system with "just enough" to provide a solid foundation to build upon further: whether that be setting up a desktop, laptop, or server.
