"Don't talk to me or my child ever again!"

Got both of these older Dells (E4300 and E6410) set up with Debian 13 + XFCE. Pretty snappy given their age (the E4300 has a Core 2 Duo P9300 and 4GB of RAM; the E6410 has a Intel i7 640M and 8GB of RAM; both have low capacity SSDs).

As a nice surprise, both have working batteries! They're reporting 51% and 74% capacity respectively, which is solid given the age.

They render just fine in mine, which does not use BDF in the first place, nor PCF.

It's supposed to be a drop-in upgrade for FreeBSD's, #Linux's, #NetBSD's, & others's kernel #VirtualTerminals; so I wrote it to re-use #FreeBSD's vt font format.

That format has no trouble with the supplementary planes, as it uses 32 bits for code point values, albeit that it is limited in some other ways (which I avoided since I allowed multiple font files to be used in concert).

...and I think my crime was 1. bringing up (in what I thought was the nicest way possible) that I think something like "you may use AI for research but we really don't want you do so" doesn't sound like "condoning AI ingestion" to me and 2. then posting what I thought was a fairly tame comment pointing out it had been prematurely locked without leaving me the chance to explain, and appealing to a calm open debate culture -

Whether you agree with me or not, I'm saddened as a previous contributor this was how things went down.

I apologize if this characterization is incorrect, this is just my perspective of course.

What's my best option for a non-android linux (or BSD?) phone these days?

a. Do NOT need a recent or "high-end" phone. Looking for something in the $100 used range. Early 4g era is FINE.

b. MUST be able to easily replace desktop with a simple X11 window manager.

c. Don't want to go through heroic shit to get the OS installed.

(For reference: current phone is a Sonim XP8800. Favorite phone ever: Moto Droid 4.)

On top of that, to retain the old #login behaviour, Debian #LinuxPAM invokes pam_motd(9) twice, and then pam_mail(8).

This results in three separate calls to the pam_conv callback, which is a problem if one is presenting the #PAM UI as dialogue boxes. One gets three successive dialogue boxes, after the actual #login dialogue box.

In part this is a design failure of pushing two different sorts of things (dialogues and post-login greeting messahes) through one pam_conv function.

#Linux

@ska

#LinuxPAM warts for you:

Consder pam_motd(8). *Unless* the noupdate option is given, it rewrites the motd file by default. Which means that it has to run as the superuser. It rewrites the motd file by running a bunch of shell scripts. As the superuser.

In BSD login(1), the motd is read and printed *after* privileges have been dropped. And rewriting of /etc/motd is under the control of a separate single-shot motd service that runs at bootstrap or on demand.

In the coming year Microsoft will try to turn hundreds of millions of working computers into electronic waste🗑️! They have chosen to cease their support of Windows 10 while also having upped the hardware requirements for Windows 11, making it impossible for the many computers to have an up to date version of Windows.

But there is still hope! Computers can be saved from the bin by replacing Windows with a free Linux operating system and thereby getting updates for many years to come 🌍️💚. On top of that you can also avoid unwanted commercials in the start menu, get better privacy and gain more control over your computer.

So, my move to a BSD isn't going as quickly as I would like, and I wanted to get off of Debian since the whole vote to go pro-AI debacle. I figured moving to a Linux distribution that has a very strong anti-AI policy would be the right choice until I can get a BSD installed properly on my desktop or extra laptop. More than a year ago, I tried @elementary. It's an awesome project but I could never get my workflow working with the desktop environment. Most definitely not the fault of Elementary. I just have a weird workflow. Earlier today, I decided to give the latest release another try. I'm going to keep it on here and actually work with the desktop environment, instead of giving up after a day.

The project is staunchly anti-AI. And that is important to me. I know the Linux kernel is tainted but unless we want to fork the kernel from a version prior to Torvalds allowing the use of AI, we're just going to have to deal with it. I don't like it, but I'm no developer and who in the world would want to take on a forked project as big as the Linux kernel? Yikes!

Anyway, I'm really liking how I have Elementary setup on my ThinkPad T14 and I'm going to keep using it for now. Who knows? It might keep me on Linux with one piece of my hardware even after moving to BSD.

IT are provisioning a new desktop for me and they asked me what software I needed installed. So I put down the list of apps I use, like Blender, Resolve, ffmpeg, VLC, yadda yaddda, … and tacked on the end was Linux OS. I was kinda trolling, fully expecting the answer to be lolno, but they've gone and set up a meeting to discuss what distro and desktop environment I need. Feeling like the squeaky wheel here, getting some grease.

Yay. I just got hit on the nose by rsync sloprot. Somehow I had avoided it so far. The "don't worry, it's fixed in the next version. Just upgrade" response doesn't fill me with warm fuzzy feelings. I'm now pondering my options. I haven't found a clear obvious safe choice for a slop free fork yet, and switching to another implementation will involve a verification process, and possibly porting of tooling.

Can we please just keep our software working reliably?

I was pointing out to one of my fellow stable kernel testers that they are eligible to vote and should ask for a ballot, but they unfortunately believe they aren't worthy enough because all they do every week is test the real kernels people actually use and spend hours of their own free time finding and preventing bugs from reaching users, and they are only a volunteer and voting should probably be left to the professionals...

I usually don't really find anything I do something I should be proud of because I'm a dumb little lizard but the amount of progress I've managed to do to Union QStyle in a month (well, three weeks, because Akademy) is very pleasing to me.

In both images:

• On left, Union QStyle about month ago.
• On right: Union QStyle now.

There are still minor issues but those will get polished. Some of them are just wrong CSS that are way easier to fix now than writing a whole C++ theme.

I wrote a QStyle theme for Union from scratch pretty much (with a lot of help from others in the community) and well. It's been a ride. Not over yet, there's still edge cases to hunt, but for 6.8 release for people to tinker and play with, it should be pretty good.

I hope you all will like tinkering with Union and making crazy themes. I'm looking forward to seeing all of that.

I think I'll allow myself to be a bit proud. This has been one of the most difficult computer things I've ever done, I think.

Had to work on an Alma #Linux system today, and spent WAY too long trying to figure out networking. I really felt like I was going a bit nuts.

It turns out they really, really want to be like Windows - uf you change network settings in the GUI, even after you click “Apply”, the settings don’t actually change, even though you can exit the settings window, reopen it, and see the settings you set.

A full reboot is required.

How is this possibly acceptable?
