For Omarchy Quattro #Linux there's tool to search through commands and execute them viamenu as an alternative to memorizing so many keyboard shortcuts.

There's a pull request to enable a keybindings IPC on #Sway to support that, along with a script to use Fuzzel for the same kind of search-and-execute app:

Been using #Deskflow with my #Debian #Linux #KDE #Plasma #Wayland box as the "server" and my #NetBSD #ctwm #X11 laptop as the "client" or second screen.

It's amazing that it works, but it's buggy. I'll get a few repeat keystrokes, and sometimes the control key gets stuck.

Hello everybody out there using minix - I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my 05 resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-systen (due to practical reasons) among other things) I've currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work This implies that I'll get something practical within a few months, and 1'd like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions are welcome, but I won't promise I'LL implement them :-) Linus (torva...@kruuna. helsinki. fi) PS. Yes - it's free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never Will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all T have :-(

I know @liw's claim to fame is he witnessed these events in person.
I can at least say I read #Linus' post contemporaneously (well, days later — it *was* #Usenet).

I thought: “such a ramble-y post; it's going anywhere! & it can't run on my 286!?!?”

I *was* a 17 year old kid then. 🤣

I also think of that post every time I see #LinuxFoundation act all “big & professional” in their pompous way & #RMS act childishly w/ #GNU like it's his toy. Both happen often.

Hey, it seems the Fediverse has more Linux users and developers than most places, and also a lot more people with strong and informed ideas about LLMs.

So maybe https://www.debian.org/vote/2026/vote_002 is something that people here want to vote on. Options are:

• No LLM contributions to Debian via Social Contract
• Allow AI-Assisted Contributions with conditions
• Reject LLMs as far as practical, update Code of Conduct
• Accept AI contributions for Debian specific work
• Responsible Use of Generative AI
• A cautious approach to generative AI
• Debian is created by humans
• Avoid the use of LLM: climate destruction is a deal breaker

A decade ago I worked with a guy whose opinion on tech I respected a lot. He was one of the most anal people I've ever known, in a (mostly) good way. His OS of choice was BSD.

Linus and crew's recent nonsense got me doing searches for OSes with no-AI policies. Lo and behold, seems that Iain was on to something all this time!

Got my first system up with NetBSD and my preferred Mate desktop this morning. It was fun, and a little challenging. :-) Reminded me of working with Solaris years ago, and of my first experiments with Linux (on PPC!) even more years ago. Installing and configuring NetBSD is not hard, but it does require me to pay attention, read a bit of documentation, and make decisions. I love that!

Thanks, Linus, for pointing me at what may be my new favorite OS. And thank you, Iain, for planting the seed that made me decide to give it a serious look this time around.

Oh shit, oh fuck, a ZFS backup mounted over the top of the NAS.

So /var/lib from one machine became /var/lib on the NAS.

This ran for *months*.

I only noticed because Docker just shat itself (/var/lib/docker)

Help me, #AskFedi #ZFS #Linux gurus.

Hilarously, I am missing backups of this system's config, except for what etckeeper got.

I think I boot a LiveUSB (Ubuntu Server will have ZFS), back up my "new" /var/lib and old /var/lib (to fucking where?) then revert to the "old" dataset by nuking the incorrect dataset completely.

Just gotta find a "cisco" style serial cable...

Don't get me wrong I love #Linux I love most of the various distros, i've used them all, they're all great and whatever you use is the right one (except Ubuntu).

but now I've dove deep into the #BSD world....Sorry I kinda like it better. it's more fun. Sure it's behind, it has it's quirks but it's just...it's interesting.

Honeslty at the end of the day use what you want. But I will tell you once you escape the Microsoft ecosystem computing becomes fun again. Computing takes you back to the late 90s when everything was new and interesting. Leaving Microsoft made me fall in love with Computers again.

Ich hab mir als Ersatz für mein in die Jahre gekommenes Android Tablet ein Dell Convertible mit abnehmbarer Tastatur gebraucht besorgt (Dell Latitude 5290 2 in 1).
Ich habe #Linux Mint Cinnamon installiert, bin aber mit der Bedienbarkeit nicht so zufrieden. Z.B. Scrollen geht nur an der Scrollleiste, nicht auf dem ganzen Bildschirm. Die Bildschirmtastatur funktioniert erst nach dem Anmelden, Passworteingabe also nur über physische Tastatur. Auch z.B. in der Mint Suchleiste geht sie nicht.
Ich möchte es eigentlich ausschließlich im Tabletmodus nutzen, zum streamen von Videos, manchmal Musik.

Habt ihr vielleicht eine Empfehlung für ein Distro, das besser für den Zweck geeignet ist?

Firefox on Kubuntu recently lost sound (audio output – input is OK, at a glance).

Anyone else? A regression with an update to 154.0 (64-bit) Snap for Ubuntu, maybe?

Pages that are silent in Firefox are audible in Microsoft Edge.

I have sought a bug in a few places, but not yet in Reddit. I'm unashamedly lazy at the moment (trying to prioritise other things). TIA for any help.

The drop of 32bit support from Linux kernel could not be such a bad thing.
It makes NetBSD from a valid options into a necessity, because I don't count other projects with so many supported obsolete platforms.
I could hope this is going to give better visibility on this OS than it had up today. In general I found the BSDs much more leaner than many other linux distros.

#foss #netbsd #linux #bsd

L'abbandono dei 32 bit da parte della Linux Kernel non è detto che si traduca per forza in un male insormontabile.
Piuttosto, trasforma NetBSD da valida opzione ad una necessaria, perché non si contano altri progetti con un numero così alto di piattaforme obsolete supportate.
Posso sperare che questo crei più visibilità su questo OS rispetto a quanto ne abbia fin'ora, e penso che la meriti. In generale trovo i BSD più snelli da usare rispetto a tante distro linux.

Something as simple as echo is not even correctly standardized.

How echo is defined in the spec:
OPTIONS: Implementations shall not support any options. Character sequences shall be recognized.

dash's echo: Always interprets escapes, has no flags, 'echo -e' prints '-e'. Everything correct so far.
bash's echo: Doesn't interpret escapes by default (has -E by default), can escape with -e.
zsh's echo: Always interprets escapes, (has -e by default), can avoid escape with -E. However 'command echo' behaves like bash's echo.
ksh93's echo: Doesn't interpret escapes by default, can do with -e, but 'echo -E' just prints '-E'.
mksh's echo: Always interprets escapes, (has -e by default), can avoid escaping with -E. But 'command echo' changes nothing. You need -E to not escape and -e to escape.
