¡Saludos! Me presento. Recién me uno a la instancia. Me interesa el #ciclismo (como transporte y recreación, no como deporte), la #literatura y la #websencilla.

Me mudo aquí en busca de un entorno más hispano, a ver si restablezco un monólogo interno en mi lengua materna.

Me gusta eso del #softwarelibre y #linux. A veces escribo sobre mis lecturas en mi blog (yuturna.com), que también está disponible a través del #protocologemini.

Modern web needs like 100MB just to say "Hello World". I went the other way.

Introducing GASM: A Gopher server in pure i386 Assembly.

💾 Binary: 1.5KB
🧠 RAM: 24KB (Verified with pmap)
🚫 Dependencies: 0 (No libc, pure syscalls)
🦕 Min Spec: Intel 386DX (1985)

Probably runs on the shittiest hardware you can find, or on your Ryzen 9.

If you used to do this *blurry logo of Windows 11* And now you do this instead: *clear as heck picture of Tux, the mascot of Linux* You are making PROGRESS. (in green)

A recent comment on one of my videos reminded me that some people think switching from Windows to Mac is somehow escaping their masters.

You are leaving one cage for another.

The Mac experience is great until you want to do something Apple has not pre-approved. True freedom is not just about a stable UI. It is about hardware repairability and software sovereignty, two things Apple has always fought against.

As Benjamin Franklin said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Don't trade your sovereignty for convenience.

Wisdom of crowds, #Linux edition:

I'm using Kubuntu, and have an interface mystery:

occasionally my interface zooms out and shows me a dashboard of all the open windows. But I cannot detect what I did to get that! My hand's always on the mouse when it happens, but I'm not aware of making any gesture or click! (Edit: And, no, it's not on an edge/corner).

Q: how do I make this happen, intentionally? Or: what might this feature/action be called, so I can search for an answer?

Thanks 🙂

At Vivaldi we continue to make choices that are different from our competitors. We have chosen to not integrate AI or crypto, but instead we integrate a wealth of other features, based on the wishes of our users.

We are a European company with most of the team based in Norway and Iceland, a few around Europe and a couple in the US.

Our servers are based in Iceland.

If you want to get away from Big Tech, maybe give us a try? If you are already using Vivaldi, maybe introduce your friends?

Have a nice day!

App images in Linux always seems to confuse me.

Yes, I can set their permissions to executable, but the icon for the app still looks like a .zip file.

Also, should I just make an Apps folder in my /home directory to house all of these AppImages?

(The format feels a little rough around the edges to me.)

Jeff Bezos is saying the quiet part out loud. They want to kill local computing.

You will own nothing and be happy. You will rent your computing power from the cloud. You pay a subscription for the privilege of using a computer.

AI demand is artificially spiking DRAM prices and Big Tech is pushing "AI PCs," the squeeze is on to force us into a rental model.

Reject this future.

Keep your hardware local.

Run #Linux.

Own your data.

The "cloud" is just a landlord for your data.

If your computer desktop was an infinitely-sized canvas that your monitor was a viewport into, would you want that?

Some scrolling window managers for #Linux (like #Niri) now offer infinitely-wide workspaces. If you add a new window column to the right, one may scroll off-screen on the left.

It's convenient like a large house is convenient. You can fill it with even more stuff before you need to clean it. But if you want to find something? You've got a much larger haystack for your haystack.

I have a small confession to make: Obviously I am a #Linux user, but for some inexplicable reason I keep going back to #OpenBSD and I can't get it out of my head. As a desktop/laptop it's certainly less capable, but at the same time it reminds me a lot of GNU/Linux that I originally fell in love with.

If you understand what's going on with me, do tell.

The PAM Duress is a module designed to allow users to generate 'duress' passwords that when used in place of their normal password will execute arbitrary scripts.

This functionality could be used to allow someone pressed to give a password under coercion to provide a password that grants access but in the background runs scripts to clean up sensitive data, close connections to other networks to limit lateral movement, and/or to send off a notification or alert (potentially one with detailed information like location, visible wifi hot-spots, a picture from the camera, a link to a stream from the microphone, etc). You could even spawn a process to remove the pam_duress module so the threat actor won't be able to see if the duress module was available.

Anyone here tried using a Dasung e-ink monitor for development work?

I'm considering buying one so I can use my Framework laptop outside (the LCD panel is only really good enough for cloudy days or shade).

My ShareFSServer runs on:

- #Linux #Intel 32/64, #ARM 32/64, #RISC-V 64
- #FreeBSD Intel 32/ 64
- #NetBSD Intel 32 / 64

It's obviously memory safe, multi-threaded and use async I/O

When I started experimenting with #Linux again in 2024, I was very impressed at how mature everything had become since I last tried it in the mid-00s. The biggest surprise, though, was #GNOME. It had a level of intentionality and clarity of vision that far exceeded my expectations of a FLOSS project. It made me feel welcome and comfortable.

To the developers of @gnome : Thank you for having the audacity to strive for simplicity in the face of continued criticism from the community. It matters.

Firefox, that has been given an Adwaita-theme using the app "Add Water", showing the website ottoojala.itch.io 2. Gapless, playing the song "Berry Rock" by Lauri Kallio 3. Apostrophe, with the following text: "GNOME <3 Every day, when I sit down at my computer, I feel such appreciation that a bunch of talented people got together to make something as beautifully simple as modern GNOME. (Finland got some love in this screenshot too. I don't know any Fins IRL, but you guys seem cool)"

Seit dem Umstieg auf Linux habe ich noch keine Lösung für den Ersatz von LightBurn, der #Lasergravur Software gefunden. Hat jemand hier vielleicht einen Tipp für mich, womit ich meinen Atomstack Laser unter #Linux (Mint) anfahren kann?

My USB microphone has a problem where after a while, the recording turns robotic. To stop it, I need to turn the profile from analogue stereo duplex to off, then back to analogue stereo duplex. This happens both on #Linux and on FreeBSD as far as I know, but it most recently happened to me on Linux. PulseAudio is directly backed by ALSA in this case, but it can also happen with the `alsa_in` programe and JACK. #lang_en

I have expected SO_PEERCRED getsockopt to be portable on AF_UNIX. It is #Linux specific. #FreeBSD has something very similar, but slightly different. Incompatible. Would anyone know any shared library for obtaining remote client information on any supported platform?

Watching the timeline panic because OneDrive decided to "sync" their local files into oblivion again. meanwhile, my encrypted vaults on Filen and MEGA have not dropped a single byte in 2 years.

If you trust "Microslop" or iCloud to hold your life, you do not have a backup strategy... that is a gambling addiction.

@Tionisla @BoydStephenSmithJr Tionisla is on point. if you want something similar to a #Linux calamares installer, you can get your feet wet with #GhostBSD as it's based on #FreeBSD. if you're comfortable installing #ArchLinux manually then #FreeBSD 15.0 is fantastic, i just set this up on a chromebook and Wi-Fi doesn't keep disconnecting and having problems it had with 14.3, touchpad is also working in 15.0. #OpenBSD is simple to learn and super easy to install and my favorite #BSD to use, you pretty much press enter like 10 times to install it. #NetBSD is easy to install and configure if it plays nice with your hardware, it's really slow when installed on this laptop so i haven't used it much. like Tionisla said have fun and #RunBSD! reach out if you run into any issues.

How do y’all organize your #Linux or #BSD workflow?

Are you a desktop environment user that treats it as a turnkey environment for all your needs and don’t tweak it much?

Do you just use the tty and terminal programs early leveraging the power of the unix-y shell?

Or do you play in the middle ground somewhere and use a tiling wm like me?

—

For me, I treat my #OpenBSD install like a unix-y flavored lisp machine. I don’t need much gui integration that much outside of the terminal, my wm’s lisp process socket and emacs, to be happy.

#Linux mavens, I need your help!

I’m an inveterate Apple user since 1979 … got my first Mac two weeks after release in 1984.

My studio runs on Mac, and that’s not going to change … but I would love a dedicated laptop to leap wholeheartedly into open source computing.

I’m looking for recommendations on hardware and distro, Linux-newbie friendly, future-compatible, powerful yet still affordable.

Don’t need Windows or Mac for this – I want to discover a new world. Any suggestions? Thanks!

That was an enjoyable read. I had a #ThinkPad #L530 in 2013 for some school stuff. Once done, I blew away #Windows7 for #Debian. Almost* everything worked out of the box. Fast, stable, and reliable.

Had I not tripped over the power cable (and thus violently tearing apart the AC adapter plug and internal connection, I'd still have it.

I've seriously considered going for another ThinkPad but I have a handful of spare laptops at my disposal and my daily driver is a sweet #Dell #Latitude 5400 (also running Debian).

The only thing that didn't work was the red dot in the keyboard. Oddly, it was supported under #openSUSE.

I guess this warrants a screenshot, as I keep seeing #GNOME + #Linux threads where folks freak out about the "middle click paste" gsetting being set to False by default in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gsettings-desktop-schemas/-/merge_requests/119. Some ask "How dare they hide this into a gsetting to be toggled", or "they should add it to GNOME Tweaks" etc.…

Thing is, it's *already* in GNOME Tweaks, since 2016: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-tweaks/-/commit/2f9b1b3b

We were told multiple times the gsetting is not getting removed. I'll keep using it & move on.

With the following code, any detected software platform other than #Linux, #iOS, #Windows, or #macOS will be represented with the name "Other" instead. However, a more granular approach may also be possible utilizing the #BSD systems, such as #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, or #FreeBSD.

Has anyone thought about doing a Linux distribution that basically boots into a classic mac emulator in full screen, with maybe some proxies for web access and I/O running locally? Something like infinite mac, but locally.

This would be user friendly and probably quite fast.
You could probably store most of all existing classic mac software locally.

Question: what are y'all using as secret service on #Linux? (With #Wayland and #sway, if that matters.)

I did not like #GNOME #Keyring, because that pulled in tons of stuff I didn't want.

I'm currently using #KeePassXC, but let's just say it's a much better password manager than a Secret Service. (e.g., it can't remember authorized binaries over a session, and handling multiple databases isn't great.)

Ideally, I want something that does only this, but does it well.
