If I were to give a prize for the most disruptive workflow change of my life, it will be probably `less` changing home/end key behavior from scrolling to top/bottom (something which I do *all the time*) to disabling line wrapping and scrolling left/right (something I never do).

It's like XKCD#1172, except it's "we've decided spacebar heating is so cool, we've removed all other spacebar functions".

Mais quel kiff absolu quand tu as des tâches longues qui bouffent *plein* de CPU, de pouvoir temporairement restreindre un process à X% du CPU le temps de faire autre chose plus urgent. 💜💜💜

Exemple: j'ai besoin de compresser rapidement un truc avec 7-Zip, mais j'ai un ffmpeg en fond qui tourne, et je ne veux pas le couper.

cpulimit -e ffmpeg -l 200
et voilà ffmpeg est limité à l'équivalent de 2 coeurs à 100% sur mes 16.

Et quand j'ai fini, Ctrl+C pour lui redonner tout le CPU.

Remotely unlocking an encrypted hard disk

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to sneak into the earliest parts of the boot process, swap the startup config without breaking anything, and leave without a trace.

Are you ready? Let's begin.

Genius.

I use #Vivaldi browser on #Linux. Apart from printing, it's good! #noAI

"Independent research shows users are less likely to click through to original sources when an AI summary is present, i.e. fewer visits for publishers, creators, & communities that keep the web vibrant. A recent PewResearch study found users clicked traditional results roughly half as often when AI summaries appeared. Publishers warn of dramatic traffic losses when AI overviews sit above links."

Si comme moi, vos accents circonflexes ne fonctionnent plus depuis que vous avez installé la dernière version de Linux Mint (Zena), c'est que votre clavier est sûrement repassé en "français obsolète".

Allez en préférences > clavier > disposition et remettez la langue "français" qui a sauté. Sélectionnez-la comme langue principale. Et voilà.

Je sais pas si ça sera utile à quelqu'un, mais on ne sait jamais !

Life is Strange: Before the Storm has a native Linux version, but it won't start on modern distros like Fedora 43. The game links against internal glibc symbols that were removed in glibc 2.34.

The fix: a tiny shim library (~10 lines of C) that wraps the missing functions and injects them via LD_PRELOAD. Played through tentire game this way without issues.

I hate it when developers say they don't/won't support Linux because "they open too many bugs".

What the fuck are you smoking.

They bring in the issues because they're used to bugs being fixed and things getting better with feedback and overall understand how to write bug reports to be useful.

Windows users just cope and hope their computer doesn't eat their files next update.

If nothing else, you WANT it on Linux to get those bug reports. Because for every Linux exclusive bug, you'll have 10 that also effect Windows, but the Windows people ignore because they've been taught that there's nothing they can do.

Does anyone know if the #intel Iris xE can actually handle 4K resolution with 3D graphics? It seems quite sluggish in #linux (not tested with #FreeBSD)

It was OK on my older HD monitor.

Nach Jahren Pause habe ich wieder mit C# zu tun. Ich finde die Sprache nach wie vor echt interessant. Und mit #Rider ist die Entwicklung auch unter #Linux echt angenehm.

Sometimes my Framework touchpad stops working after suspend/resume. I finally found this fix:

Thanks Internet! (I suspected that some module could be unloaded/loaded to fix but I didn't know which). #Linux

#Berlin will sich langfristig von #Windows und #MicrosoftOffice lösen und setzt auf eine neue #OpenSource-Strategie für die Verwaltung.

Geplant sind Schulungen, Sprechstunden, ein Infoportal und ein Linux-basierter Notfallarbeitsplatz. Ziel ist mehr Unabhängigkeit, Transparenz und Sicherheit in der IT.

Erste Maßnahmen laufen bereits, doch die Umstellung erfordert Zeit und Kulturwandel in einer stark von proprietärer Software geprägten Infrastruktur.

Is anyone else completely exhausted by the "Suggested For You" era of the web?

I feel like 2025 broke something in my tolerance for algorithmic feeds. I caught myself scrolling my personal insta yesterday and realized I hadn't seen a post from an actual human friend in ten minutes. It was just engagement bait and AI-generated slop. Uggh!

Thinking about moving my web reading habits to RSS.

Myrlyn, the new graphical package management GUI for openSUSE, reaches Version 1.0 with community repositories for openSUSE Leap 16.0, configurable search mode, improved zypp history browser

If you develop for #linux please make offline installation possible, for people in countries with restricted internet. Came back home last night and today I want to install Luminance HDR but their only option for linux is via the terminal, and yet, while I can access full internet on my phone using a VPN, I can't access any on my laptop/workstations, so I can't install this program, unless I use Wine. I'm in #Uganda They cut off internet during elections and it has now been partially restored.

Alternatives to #Linux are Redox, the BSDs, Illumos, Haiku, ReactOS, and Plan 9. There are even more! 🙂

Ok Fediverse, hit me up at your nerdiest:

It used to be the base of operations of the open clan once. It's not on any map. Technically, it does not exist." Penguin: "And neither did we." Fish: "Welcome home."
