schmonz.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
GrapheneOS has a "duress password" - which wipes the device if entered.
Is there a way to do this on MacOS or OpenBSD or Linux?

I can barely resist the urge to ask,
"What's UNIX?"

The important thing is, I'll find it funny.
@lproven go on. Dare me to ask the question. You can refrain from answering, then eat popcorn whilst things unravel.
Yay, got bhyve

Just installed a test VM with Debian Linux and it's working flawlessly.

Installing Linux on a PC-98 machine
What if you have a PC-98 machine, and you want to run Linux on it, as you do? I mean, CP/M, OS/2, or Windows (2000 and older) might not cut it for you, after all. Well, it turns out that yes, you can run Linux on PC-98 hardware, and thanks to a bunch of work by Nina Kalinina - yes, the same person from a few days ago - there's now more information gathered in a singl

I think #Apple is actually afraid #Linux might be more snappy and even faster in many tasks on Apple Silicon.
Even #FreeBSD makes progress on Apple chips. 😃
https://wiki.freebsd.org/AppleSilicon
I hope #AppleSilicon will some day fully be liberated. In order for it to successfully become a good fit for an Apple Linux laptop for me they would have to install poweruser keyboards though.
They dare to name those machines PRO devices and yet they still have way too small travel.
Find myself curious to experiment with libreboot BIOS/UEFI boot firmware but it seems my laptop is not supported.
My current system is a Lenovo X1 Carbon (gen 6).
Anyone have experience with libreboot? Is it worth the work?

Ich brauche jetzt mal was Vernünftiges zur Datensicherung unter Linux.
Ich fand eigentlich das im zweiten Beitrag in dem Link beschriebene System ganz gut, aber ich scheitere an der Installation von Rescuezilla (gibt immer Error, und ich weiß nicht, warum).
Gibt es eine Methode, die ich auch als 08/15-Userin verstehen und ausführen kann?
So ein schönes Programm wie Acronis gibt es ja leider nicht.
As someone who really likes to "shop" operating systems, and as someone who deeply identifies with their tech choices. Watching #linux over the decades homogenize the floss ecosystem instead of being the foundation to a garden with a variety of delights; has been incredibly disappointing.
Spent my morning figuring out why Nginx was dead on a server with many days of uptime. No reboot, no kernel panic. Just... down. Ubuntu 24.04.
The cause? An automatic unattended-upgrade of libc6. This prompted systemd to work its magic, wisely deciding to restart every running service to apply the patch. Fine.
The problem is, in the exact same minute, the systemd timer for certbot decided it was time to renew certificates.
The result:
- systemd stops Nginx.
- Port 80 becomes free.
- certbot, in standalone mode, immediately grabs it for validation.
- systemd tries to restart Nginx, which fails with "Address already in use".
The web server was knocked offline by its own certificate renewal script.
I swear, this is the kind of cascading failure that has never happened to me in years of running *BSD. With a classic cron job, certbot would have failed, logged an error, and tried again the next day. The web server would have remained untouched.
systemd was doing its job, but something failed because of the interactions.
Sometimes, too much automation and too many interconnected parts just create more spectacular ways for things to break.

Multikernel architecture proposed for Linux
A very exciting set of kernel patches have just been proposed for the Linux kernel, adding multikernel support to Linux.
This patch series introduces multikernel architecture support, enabling multiple independent kernel instances to coexist and communicate on a single physical machine. Each kernel instance can run on dedicated CPU cores while sha

What would you think about a new API endpoint that lets you run unattended upgrades with a simple call like:
/nodes/{node_name}/apt/upgrade
At the moment you need to use the node’s HTML5 console to perform upgrades. Other methods exist such as running unattended Debian upgrade scripts, using patch management tools like #Spacewalk or #QualvoSec, or automating the process with #Ansible over SSH. My idea is to have an API based solution that relies on Proxmox authentication and authorization. This would also allow third party tools such as #ProxLB to provide automated patch management and even handle guest rebalancing in a way that is similar to DRS without requiring direct SSH access.#Linux #OpenSource #PatchManagement #Security #DevOps #Automation #Ansible #PVE #PVE8 #PVE9
I only just learned you can use the mouse in the TTY! (The Linux text-only console you get to by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1, F2, etc.)
Some applications that enable this are gpm and consolation.
consolation worked better for me, especially when in tmux; however, I still can't get scrolling with middle button and trackpoint to work, which is what would be the most useful for me. I don't know if it has to do with consolation, tmux mouse bindings, my particular ThinkPad model, etc. I can't find anything online about this, so if you've also dabbled in this, please share your experience!
