Seems like #Linux⁠'s legendarily huge variety of desktop environments collapses pretty fast if your screen setup is anything other than plain old single-screen 96dpi.

I guess because, for the vast majority of Linux's existence, we were all using plain old single-screen 96dpi or *maybe* two 96dpi screens. The mixed 1.5×/1× configuration I'm using became common only recently, and the old stuff isn't made for this.

Serendipity is typing "su", having a small panic attack that you don't remember its password, and guessing correctly in the first try.

@stefano Just looking at the installation instructions it's clear #Mastodon was designed for #Linux.

I want to say I am surprised but unfortunately I am not.

So we now have, aside from the #FreeBSD system on a portable drive, our PC's main drive split in two: there's Void #Linux on one partition, #Slackware current on another, sharing a 1T home partition. (Separate swap partitions though...I tried a shared one. Bad idea)

Everything is fresh and new just waiting to go wrong again for some inexplicable reason or rash decision. "The mistakes are there," as Savielly Tartakower said, "waiting to be made."

Six-panel cartoon featuring SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward. Patrick says, “I use Linux.” Squidward asks, “What is Linux?” SpongeBob replies, “It means he is afraid of BSD.” Squidward responds, “No it does not.” The next panel lists “FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD,” while Patrick looks funny. In the final panel, SpongeBob raises his hands in panic as Patrick says, “Stop it Patrick! You’re scaring him.”

If your timeline is full of man pages, kernel panic stories, ports trees, daemons, and unnecessarily opinionated discussions about which BSD is best… 👀

I’ll probably follow you. ❤️

I've been getting into #Incus lately as a replacement for #Proxmox and I have to say it is incredibly impressive.

Super fast, super-low resources, has a mature OCI container support, and works on any major #Linux distro.

Very cool piece of software!

@overeducatedredneck @chadmccullough @admin @netbsd It's pretty easy setting up a #NetBSD Xen dom0 with just two packages needing adding (plus the auto-installed dependencies). You can then add as many domUs as you want if you want full privilege separation. PVH is probably best. You can use a ZFS dataset per VM. It's also easy enough to add #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD and #Linux domUs

Quite a few of us have worked on improving the How-To

RE: https://social.treehouse.systems/@ariadne/117313610321642907

gawd dammit and I installed Alpine #Linux literally LAST NIGHT and was liking it

@ariadne@social.treehouse.systems

anyway, here are the results from the questionnaire: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/council/-/blob/master/minutes/2026-08-09-ai-developer-poll.md

a large question I have: the report was authored on 2026-08-09, but was just published yesterday. why did it take so long? why did I have to ask about the report in order for it to be published?

my guess is that alpine will allow AI, despite the position that it should be banned being strongest (but not strong enough to meet a plurality).

same outcome as Debian, basically.

Well I've already caved to using #FreeBSD instead of #NetBSD because it better supports my hardware and I was really hoping I could take refuge with NetBSD's clear stance against LLM sludge. I feel like I've spent so many days just installing operating systems so I might just give up on trying to have a relatively clean #Linux.

#Debian is lost.
The #Linux kernel is lost.
#KDE doesn't have to be.

Week 3: stat(2) intro

In this video lecture, we meet our new best friend, the 'struct stat'. We'll cover the stat(2) system calls and begin discussing each of the fields in the struct, often by example of the ls(1) and stat(1) commands. In this way, we begin learning more about how the Unix File System is implemented.

(Note that the output of stat(1) on #NetBSD is different from that on #Linux.)

Btw: what resource you could suggest to customize TWM? The basic installation is very bare bone, and with a quick search I have impression that documentation and tweaking became scattered to the four corners of Internet in the past three decades.
It seems deceptively powerful. There are some modern options like i3, but TWM keeps some genuine appeal for how much is lightweight, but I need to add some other basic functionalities.
