could someone test the makefile and manpage installing/building for my exfetch project? I only tested on #OpenBSD, so any other #BSD testing or even #Linux would be appreciated.

If a #Linux kernel panic had a sound, what would it be?

👀 maybe you can get help to turn your Windows 10 thing into something better:

My grandpa finally moved from Ubuntu to Linux Mint. He says he 'upgraded to the greener version.' He genuinely thinks he's being tech-savvy (but I think he just wants to annoy me using words like 'Green Ubuntu'). I just nod and try not to correct him. LMAO. #LINUX #OpenSource #grandpa

Flatpak “not being actively developed anymore”

At the Linux Application Summit (LAS) in April, Sebastian Wick said that, by many metrics, Flatpak is doing great. The Flatpak application-packaging format is popular with upstream developers, and with many users. More and more applications are being published in the Flathub application store, and the format is even being adopted by Linux dist

#Linux

I mean, #ChrisBarnatt from #ExplainingComputers literally makes easy-to-digest content (and for those that prefer/have to use reading over watching and/or listening there are writeups everywhere!) going over #migrating from #Windows to #Linux.

Not to mention the obvious benefits of ditching #Windows10 & #Windows11 for any #Linux distro!

@lemgandi that's just Chris Barnatt who does gloss over things in a noob-friendly way.

"#Linux" is literally the #OS equivalent of a #Diesel engine as it's customizeable and resizeable from a single cylinder tiny unit that has less displacement than a pint to a giant heavy fuel oil ship diesel who's displacement is measured in cubic meters and everything in between.

• So people can have anything from tiny to huge and from minimalist to fancy with only hardware requirements and their own patience limiting them.

(Some folks will say #NetBSD is a two-stroke becaise it can be made to run on anything!)

@happyborg And this just this week I decided to research why a nice mic, a Blue Yeti, quit working with Arch #Linux. It hadn't worked for more than a week.

I went through several troubleshooting steps only to find that at that moment, it had started to work again.

Share with us! 🐧

Are there any specific applications you wish were available for Linux?

I have a new #Linux laptop. I have new Bluetooth headphones. But they frequently don’t connect.

This is an inconvenience for me but a critical failure for #blind users.

So I appreciated this rant and hope it spurs progress.

obviously they are talking about desktop :P #Linux #macOS #Windows

A four-panel meme showing operating system wars. Panel 1: Red macOS figure claims "macOS IS BETTER." Panel 2: Blue Windows figure counters "Windows is MUCH BETTER than macOS." Panel 3: Both look down at a small, sad yellow Linux figure. Panel 4: macOS and Windows figures tells the now happy Linux figure, saying "Linux is good too."

btrfs 🤷🏼‍♂️

#FreeBSD #RunBSD #Linux #openSUSE

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed doesn’t enable automatic snapshots in the home directories by default. I enabled them myself and noticed that, from time to time, the computer would completely freeze.
After some research, I discovered that Btrfs has this issue when quotas are enabled. I disabled quotas and the problem went away - although now the system probably doesn't know how much space each snapshot takes.

FreeBSD on my (old) desktop and ZFS - any snapshots I want, on much older (2018) and more limited hardware - and I’ve never seen anything like that happen.

#FreeBSD #RunBSD #Linux #openSUSE

The SSH protocol contains a hidden "haiku mode" (`ssh -H`):

ssh -H -l user ec2-server-ip-address

If activated, all #Linux/#UNIX server messages are returned in perfect 5-7-5 syllable structure. Debugging becomes very poetic 🤭

npm error code EBADPLATFORM
npm error notsup Unsupported platform for @shopify/create-app@3.80.7: wanted {"os":"darwin,linux,win32"} (current: {"os":"freebsd"})
npm error notsup Valid os: darwin,linux,win32
npm error notsup Actual os: freebsd

We fought for years supporting Linux because we wanted to be "free to choose our OS", and now we've reached the point where you're forced to choose it.

Many people simply don't understand the concept of freedom.

Anyway, happy Wednesday!

A nice terminal table displaying a lists of servers, their hostname, the operating system they run, the specific flavor of it and version. it also shows the amount of pending system updates to be applied, as well as security updates. All the hosts show Status as "Online" in green. Whenever hosts have a non zero amount of updates in the security column, the number is red. The top header reads "Host Status Overview" in italics. At the bottom there is a prompt labeled "exosphere" awaiting more commands.

The ls command was actually an acronym for "Lost Socks," an early experimental program designed to help Dennis Ritchie find missing laundry items by listing the contents of his drawers. It was later repurposed for file systems 🙃 #unix #linux

@cwebber What's the problem? Linux is a kernel. Gnu/ and other Liniux-kernel based systems, like Ubuntu are operating systems with a Linux kernel.

Only thing importent is the license.

#GNU #Linux #FreeSoftware

Are screen sharing (and capture) problems resolved when you go 100% Wayland?
