Firefox on Kubuntu recently lost sound (audio output – input is OK, at a glance).

Anyone else? A regression with an update to 154.0 (64-bit) Snap for Ubuntu, maybe?

Pages that are silent in Firefox are audible in Microsoft Edge.

I have sought a bug in a few places, but not yet in Reddit. I'm unashamedly lazy at the moment (trying to prioritise other things). TIA for any help.

Wine Wine is an alcoholic drink made from fermented fruit (typically grapes) which causes Linux users to enter a mental state that allows them to run Microsoft Windows applications in their mind. Red and white wine, served in cool glasses.

The drop of 32bit support from Linux kernel could not be such a bad thing.
It makes NetBSD from a valid options into a necessity, because I don't count other projects with so many supported obsolete platforms.
I could hope this is going to give better visibility on this OS than it had up today. In general I found the BSDs much more leaner than many other linux distros.

Something as simple as echo is not even correctly standardized.

How echo is defined in the spec:
OPTIONS: Implementations shall not support any options. Character sequences shall be recognized.

dash's echo: Always interprets escapes, has no flags, 'echo -e' prints '-e'. Everything correct so far.
bash's echo: Doesn't interpret escapes by default (has -E by default), can escape with -e.
zsh's echo: Always interprets escapes, (has -e by default), can avoid escape with -E. However 'command echo' behaves like bash's echo.
ksh93's echo: Doesn't interpret escapes by default, can do with -e, but 'echo -E' just prints '-E'.
mksh's echo: Always interprets escapes, (has -e by default), can avoid escaping with -E. But 'command echo' changes nothing. You need -E to not escape and -e to escape.

what the complaints about window titlebars being occupied by widgets tell me is that windows and macOS should both add that feature from linux desktops where if you hold the windows/command key, you can drag windows around by any part of the window

Beyond the limits of physical VRAM

Earlier this year, Natalie Vock made a splash with a set of patches to the Linux kernel that greatly increased performance on AMD GPUs with lower amounts of VRAM. With that work now accepted by upstream, Vock decided to turn their attention to another interesting problem: what if you run out of VRAM, and how can we improve performance when we do?

Regardless, what I

I was thinking today about my diversity of hardware and systems I maintain.

Sure, I've got a few standard VPS cloud systems (vultr, hetzner) running #FreeBSD. These do the heavy lifting for my web, DNS and other services.

My least standard setup is an RPI4 installed in an RV. The electronics are 100% solar powered and connected to the internet via Starlink. Starlink was also converted to 12v and the router replaced with an openWrt powered system.

What's your most unique setup?

🧠 Did you know?

You can run the top command in "batch mode" and have it stop after gathering information once.

Great for getting information and sorting it, for example by processes consuming the most memory.

Could be a useful alias if you need it more than once.

This also works for the BSDs, but with slightly different options.

@Elizafox yeah, the slopification is extreme.

I know folks that are now deciding to go full "Anti AI - Action" and DIY their own minimalist OS/distro because they want "[…] something simple, something auditable […]" and if that means something weird like " toybox + musl / illumos " then that's okay.

• Cuz in the end they only want a smol rescue system to SSH into things.

What's really bitter is how Linux got slopified.

• I hope someone forks it pre-AIslop (6.6.x-longterm) and keeps maintaining i486 support and proper ISA drivers.

OK! After running this poll about X11 vs. Wayland vs. other application environments on #Linux or #BSD or other #UNIX type operating systems, let me ask...what TOOLKIT, what general-purpose widget set or GUI toolkit, is your preferred option:

C is what made the #Linux miracle possible and the #tech elite are very into that.

There's not space here to go into the disastrous corporate corruption underlying the Linux community and fanbase, or the way in which the words #FreeSoftware have come to mean basically nothing in a world where "open source" is a mere buzzword in the mouths of Sam Altman and Elon Musk. There's not a particle or glimmer of actual #freedom anywhere in this scene, all because Linux nerds have tended to like money and power. Lots of it, all the time.

I'm finally switching from ack to ripgrep for quickly searching through text files.

https://ripgrep.dev/vs/ack/

I kept using ack because it's quite fast and being written in Perl, Ack has perfect Perl regex support.

But ripgrep is 10x faster on my projects, popular across teams and has good-enough Perl regex support.

(I recall some bug in the past where another tool get a Perl regex wrong but Ack got it right, but I'm not 💯 it was ripgrep at fault.)
