I was able to make my Pixel 3a Linux Phone with postmarketOS GNOME look like my first iPhone.

Ich habe es geschafft mein Linux-Handy mit postmarketOS GNOME so aussehen zu lassen, wie mein allererstes iPhone.

Thanks to the help of @krafting who is making all this possible!

Anyone know why using sftp with Dolphin in Plasma is so slow in Alpine Linux?

Using Debian, doing the same thing is like greased lightning.

It's not network, ssh/scp/rsync/sftp command line works wicked fast between hosts with Alpine.

Something about Alpine and Plasma it seems. This has been an on-going thing.

Anyone know a workaround, beside using a different protocol I mean? This should "just work" like on other distros.

#Linux #AlpineLinux #Alpine #Plasma #KDE #KDEPlasma #Dolphin #sftp

We need a #slop-free #Linux #distro.

We really do.

CLI tools can be faster for commonly-used commands .

My favorite dotfile manager to sync personal config files between machines is YADM... because there's so little to learn. It's basically `git` for dotfiles, where the files are edited in place. There's no extra symlinking or deploy step, just yadm commit/push/pull. Easy!

For edge cases of different settings on different machines, it supports templates and alternates.

An unsupervised agentic AI system working through compromised devs credentials (account) successfully altered bugs & pushed unverified code into multiple open source projects, including Fedora #Linux Anaconda installer. This rogue AI agent appears to have used a trusted open source contributor account over to submit bugs with backdoor & overwhelming maintainers & increasing the risk of deliberate supply chain compromises on FLOSS

AI agent runs amok in Fedora & elsewhere https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/1077035/c7e7c14fbd60fae9/

Source: https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/1077035/c7e7c14fbd60fae9/ Title: AI agent runs amok in Fedora and elsewhere [LWN subscriber-only content] Author and Date of publishing: Joe Brockmeier | June 10, 2026 Description: Agentic AI systems can be used to do a variety of things autonomously on behalf of a human user: open or manage bugs, generate code, submit pull-requests, and (apparently) even complain about rejection. In May, a Fedora developer discovered that an allegedly rogue agent had been pestering the project in a number of ways: reassigning bugs, fabricating unhelpful replies to bugs, and even persuading maintainers to merge questionable code into the Anaconda installer. It also submitted a number of pull requests (PRs), some accepted, to several upstream projects. The Fedora account associated with the agent has had its group privileges revoked and the messes have been mopped up, but the motive behind the agent's actions is still a mystery.

Note: this is a very off-the-cuff tier list, using speed as the main qualifier, but the article explains exceptions to that as it goes on.

NetBSD turns 33 this Sunday! 🚩

To celebrate 33 years of clean code, portability, and zero bloat, Challenging the rest of the fediverse to help hit this year's funding goals.

Also do drop a screenshot of your uptime, uname -a, or a pic of the weirdest hardware you've got running NetBSD right now. (RockPro64 NPF routers or Pi's hooked up to retro CRTs highly encouraged).

Throw some money at the developers keeping the real UNIX alive:

Strong suspicion I could swap out #macOS for #Linux, do better with #Minecraft and most everything else, and not do much worse at macOS-specific stuff like #GarageBand and Messages under #OSXKVM (https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM).

Anyone done this, or something similar?

A new #blog post appears!

I built a native GCC 14.2.0 for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger PowerPC.
