@thomholwerda almost all Linux desktops appear to be slop-infested as per their own policy,, including KDE, GNOME, LxQt, XFCE, and more.

River is the only desktop project I've found so far that bans AI: https://codeberg.org/river/river#strict-no-llm-no-ai-policy But that one also needs a WM, where the only one alike a regular desktop is perhaps this one: https://gitlab.gwdg.de/leonhenrik.plickat/tarazed But doesn't even have a basic task bar, from what I can tell.

TL;DR: it's looking grim in beginner-friendly desktop land when it comes to LLM use.

One *major* concern I have about this, entirely aside from any concerns about generative #AI? Are these massive pushes to the git repos getting enough human eyes on them to make certain no one is sneaking in Trojans and Back Doors? (Even accidentally, given the way #LLMs work…)

RE: https://cyberpunk.lol/@mxchara/117072168428690503

I decided to put in the "other graphical environment" without knowing whether such a thing exists for #Linux or #BSD partly as a place for things like HaikuOS or Redox (which hasn't worked for me yet), but also because I've wondered whether such a thing couldn't exist. Why not simply start from scratch using OpenGL or libsdl or something similar in order to handle the low-level graphics?

There's answers to that of course, lack of interoperability, but it would seem a reasonable stopgap to implement an X11 server like Wayland does.

Okay, this is literally incomprehensible: on my Alpine v3.24 VPS, drill github.com, nslookup github.com, getent ahosts github.com, ping github.com, lynx https://github.com/, and manually sending hand-written queries to the configured DNS servers all return/use the correct IPv4 address, and return nothing as expected when querying for AAAA records.

And yet, curl and git both have completely nonsense IPv6 addresses returned (they're random Cloudflare addresses) alongside the correct IPv4 address, and then prioritize them. Those tools also completely ignore any overrides in /etc/hosts.

There is literally no possible source for those addresses to be returned when resolving github.com AFAICT and no way to override them other than having to edit literally everything that might touch github to add -4 to those utilities' command lines

On #resumeFromDisk, how does the handling of open files (for example in plain text editor, graphics software (drawing, photo editing)) work? Am looking of surface, not-in-the-weeds, explanation.

Do mini PCIe hardware security modules or standalone cryptographically strong pRNGs exist? If they do, where can I get one? NetBSD is complaining about low entropy (laptop from 2011) & suggests I keysmash, use an entropy file, or get a USB pRNG. I would prefer to have all of my USB ports free.

I have no idea where to find such a thing & I can't even find USB HSMs besides the one that YubiCo sells. The closest thing I have found is a bunch of TPM2 chips with SPI headers on them & I don't think I have any free SPI connectors in the laptop. For now I'll use an entropy file but I would rather do something better like using a proper RNG device.

I think people watching these tags might know more than I can find with a search engine. Thank you.

Low Earth Orbit Adventures is my relaxing newtonian 3D space sim, DRM-free, source-code included, steam + itch.io, and developed on Linux, releasing later this year.

20 years ago there was a small but vibrant Linux gaming community (any one remember Loki???)

Could I get away with making LEO Adventures a Linux exclusive to see if support is there?

So far, the Pnictogen Wing and its erstwhile technical advisor on computer matters @alyx_woodward, who isn't really into computers nearly as much as older-fashioned stuff (like me and Frisk and others) but feels like she's got to learn this crap same as the rest of us, have managed to get #Wayland working on our hand-me-down NVidia-burdened system in exactly one set of circumstances: it works on CachyOS #Linux if we use #KDE and nothing else gives more than a blank screen and a mouse cursor (that can move.) Wayland modes on Xfce and LXQt do not work. Wayfare and other lesser-used compositors do not work. So far we haven't the faintest idea why.

Wayland has never worked on any #BSD installation we've yet tried and it's touch and go as to whether we can get Nvidia support working. Steps which seem sufficient for one variant of FreeBSD don't work on others. It'd be easier to ditch the Nvidia card but we have no money and it's a terrible time to shop for any computer parts. I would like to make do with what we have, which ought to be more than sufficient for our conceivable needs.

How to set #FootTerminal to copy paths from scrollback with your keeb.

It's like Vimium's hinting mode. Press Ctrl+Shift+P and labels appear by paths. Type the label of the path you want to copy.

WezTerm or Kitty have a similar feature.

...... and as you might guess from the config syntax, you can create other regexs for other things you might like to copy, like Git SHAs!

[regex:paths]
regex=([[:alnum:]_./~-]+)

[key-bindings]
regex-copy=[paths] Control+Shift+p
