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!

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

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

Listen , the "Connection refused" ssh message is a polite way of the #Linux or #Unix server saying, "I'm just not that into you right now." Try again later when it's in a better mood or has had its morning coffee ☕️

Open the terminal app and type `curl style.ysap.sh` to see Bash Style Guide for your scripting needs on a #Linux or #Unix machine.

A terminal macOS window displays the "YSAP" (You Suck at Programming) logo and the beginning of a "Bash Style Guide" by Dave Eddy, by typing the simple curl command.

Why are SSH keys better than passwords for authentication under #Linux ??

Because trying to brute-force a good SSH key is like trying to find a specific grain of sand on all the world's beaches... while blindfolded... and the beaches are on different planets 😂

Quiz: Which term describes the interpreter that executes commands typed as strings? #linux #unix #devops

Linux kernel driver plugs rotary phone dial into the kernel

The year of Linux on the desktop is finally here. Thanks to Oleksandr Natalenko for pointing this gem out.

[Перевод] Сервер, которому не суждено было жить

На днях я прочитал новость, которая оживила воспоминания о важном — и болезненном — эпизоде моей карьеры. Это история о доверии, технологиях… и задачах, которые не всегда можно решить. Где-то 16 лет назад со мной связался давний друг. Его беспокоила ситуация, связанная с одним общим знакомым. Если в двух словах, то дело было в том, что один наш знакомый предприниматель — администратор и владелец нескольких компаний — внезапно скончался. Это был человек, который рулил всеми процессами, и его уход поставил жену с детьми в затруднительное положение.

I'm proposing updating the default theme for #Fuzzel (by @dnkl). It's my favorite launcher and menu app for #Linux. Here's my first draft.

- Which group makes more sense?
- Which group tab-completes to show you all of the associated commands within the same sub-class of purpose?
- Which group is backwards and tragic and requires rote memorization over associative structs?

The following example is one of the many reasons why engineers prefer FreeBSD over Linux. It's the simple usability on a day to day basis.

Cognitive load matters, and efficiency of memory matters, effeciency of keystrokes matters, and it's present everywhere. Backwards thinking is wasteful.

I just came across a really weird problem with my Linux laptop. I'm plugging in the charger, and the touchpad becomes laggy. When I unplug the charger, it's responsive again.

Anyone saw this issue before?

RockyLinux Official Support for RISC-V in RL10! https://rockylinux.org/news/rockylinux-support-for-riscv

This morning I installed Alpine Linux (one of my favourite Linux distributions) on my little N150 (which I got for 124 euros), replacing OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I hooked it up to the new monitor (4K, although the N150 only handles 60 Hz) and worked on it all day.
It took me ten minutes to install Alpine Linux, KDE Plasma, and all the apps I needed.
Everything ran beautifully, without a single issue. A 124-euro MiniPC. Suspension to ram worked out of the box, hibernation just required to add "resume=swap device" to the grub configuration.

My only regret: FreeBSD doesn’t run on it yet - but I’m fairly confident things will improve soon, given the recent progress.
Most of us don't need a multi thousands euro devices to work comfortably.
