I used #DaVinciResolve to edit my latest YouTube Video. Before that, I used #kdenlive - and even before that, #camtasia. Some quick thoughts...

I'm not an expert in video editing, just someone who wants to upload videos to YouTube. I really liked camtasia because it is simple yet powerful, and I knew it well enough so that it didn't get in my way anymore. But there is no #linux version, which is a deal breaker for me now.

KDEnlive is a great piece of software, especially for... [1/]

Un projet à garder à l'oeil : ATL (Android Translation Layer).
En gros, ATL est à Android ce que Wine/Proton est à Windows.
Cela devrait aider à faire tourner directement les applications Android sous Linux, sans avoir à mettre un système Android entier dans une VM.

This might be a longshot... but the fediverse might be the best place for me to post this and get the reply of fellow Linux friends.

One of my kid's buddies found an in-the-box Samsung SM-T113 "Tab." Doing searches, I see it may be possible to put something like PostMarketOS on it.

Anyone out there have experience in this?

boosts appreciated

Plus le temps passe, plus j'apprécie le lecteur vidéo mpv au lieu de VLC ou Celluloid.
Non seulement les raccoucis clavier sont très bien faits, mais il utilise *vraiment* moins de CPU que les autres.
Si vous êtes sur batterie, ça fait une belle différence, vraiment.
mpv utilise à fond le décodage matériel, ce qui le rend énergétiquement plus efficace.

#TIL that #LibreOffice has a command line tool to convert files from, say, .docx format to .pdf format. HUGE time saver when a client sends a bunch of .docx files and says they're sending pdfs!

Anyone especially knowledgeable about #Linux #networking and willing to lend me a hand?

This is a bit outside of my usual content, so I'm looking for someone to answer a couple questions about KVM and bridging re: a specific rack server I have.

Hoping to stand up a few tools for organizing. It used to be set up properly, but I've actually forgot how I did it and those old VMs got nuked. 😅

And it just seems faster to ask, while I'm fighting with it.

Boosts appreciated.

@AnachronistJohn apt-get returns 100 on error; that's the apt-get in the middle of the "Command:" and the "Exit code: 100" after it. Word on the Fedi has it Ubuntu has been having some issues with their repository servers lately; that *may* have something to do with it.

I do agree that it could be a lot easier to see what's going on!

Are you OK, #Linux?

I want to run lsiutil or storcli64, so I figured I’d install Linux on an external drive.

So I download Ubuntu 24.04.3 Desktop for amd64. It boots, I start an install, and a good 45 minutes later, it says there’s an error. I can’t really see what the error is here, can you?

This is a picture of a screen of an Ubuntu installation that failed mysteriously. Looking at the logs, I haven't the slightest idea what went wrong. The tile is, "Something went wrong". I'm not going to type out the rest because it appears to be nonsense.

Oh joy, Sunday morning Debian 12 update has broken a few things:
1. MariaDB will no longer start up on a VM where the data_dir is set to /home/var/lib/mysql
2. Nagios is full of errors " 421 Misdirected Request" on sites with Apache httpd proxies.

My favorite #Linux distro just got even better with Linux Mint 22.2 'Zara' - what's new https://zdnet.com/article/my-favorite-linux-distro-just-got-even-better-with-linux-mint-22-2-zara-whats-new/ by
@sjvn

The new Linux Mint can't boast much in the way of new features, but it does come with many modest, attractive improvements.

A useful combination of options for the #netstat command on #linux is "-n -p -u -t -l -e": show all listening udp and tcp sockets, include program PID and extra information, do not translate numbers.

If you speak german, these options are easy to remember in this order: `netstat -tulpen` -- what means "tulips" 🌷. A single tulip, `netstat -tulpe` turns on number resolution.

#FreeBSD equivalent is `sockstat -l -Ptcp,udp`

Weirded out, that #XLibre doesn't seem to be vanishing. I mean, I know folks might have legit reasons to want an #X11 fork. BUT this one is explicitly anti-DEI; in the age of US fascism and bigotry on the subject. SO you are telegraphing shit about your values or your community when you include that project. #politics #floss #linux #bsd

Week 1: UNIX History

We cover the early days at Bell Labs, USL vs BSDi, the birth of the BSDs and Linux, and how we got from Ken Thompson playing "Space Travel" on a PDP-7 to Unix running on your phone, fridge, and TV.

I'm at the coolest network meeting for EU gov #OSPO's in Brussels today 🔥🔥

I had an opportunity to talk with Dirk Schrödter, Minister for Digitalization of Schleswig-Holstein (SH), and currently listening to SH CIO Sven Thomsen's presentation.

SH is so far ahead!! They're implementing #Linux desktops, they're already using #Nextcloud and #LibreOffice, and end of this month all their gov email will be migrated from Microsoft Exchange to #OpenXChange.

Bonus selfie of myself in yet again a pink suit

Contemplating which Linux to install on my teenage kid's laptop. Ubuntu is out, as I don't want to touch snaps ever again (been using Ubuntu myself for the past 20 years, thank you). So I'm thinking @debian, @fedora or @elementary.

She's an artist (so Krita, Shotcut, Inkscape), and she'll probably get used to any DE pretty quickly. What I do care about is drawing tablet support and color management. Is Wayland ready for this yet? Any artists care to share their setups?

Speaking of Matrix global services occasionally exacerbating one's propensity for migraines, oh look a total outage for the malignant design... oh but they tell everyone a fantastic story:

> "Matrix is a distributed fault tolerated encrypted network of disaggregated nodes!" 😐

except that they deployed via an active/passive two node PostgreSQL backend which just crashed both nodes and took 55TB of network data offline. also their TLS termination is fronted by CloudFlare (anything in back of TLS termination is not TLS encrypted).

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that the News tab in Nautilus from GNOME 1.4 (released in 2001) still shows current @lwn headlines/https://lwn.net still support whatever API/feed it's using.

A screenshot of the LWN.net home page taken 02 Sep 2025. The headlines are: - GNOME loses another executive director - [$] The future of 32-bit support in the kernel - Kernel prepatch 6.17-rc4 - Bcachefs goes to "externally maintained" - [$] The challenge of maintaining curl These match those shown in the GNOME 1.4 virtual machine.
