@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.

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.

I think no one is asking to be able to run the latest Linux 7.** kernel on a 486.

People who are running that hardware are very likely on older versions on Linux (or other retro operating systems) and not looking to run the latest Linux anyway.

However, on the other side of the argument, why remove it? I do not believe there are any pressing security issues with keeping the code that supports those CPUs. If there are problems, they could just be left with notices of what doesn't work for the three people in the world that may affect.

I don't really think it matters either way.

If someone wants to run a current OS on a 486, there's NetBSD.

... but I do not think we should expect to run a current OS on a CPU that old. That's what the 'retro computing' genre is about. Just run an old OS on that hardware.

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

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.

After a grueling 2,000-hour nationwide internet shutdown in Iran, international connectivity has finally returned to the Parch Linux servers.

This prolonged outage completely destroyed our SEO. Searching for our project yielded zero results for months, which took a massive toll on our visibility and progress. Now that we are back online, I am trying to figure out how to rebuild the lost trust of our international users and effectively promote the project again. Unfortunately, open-source news outlets have rarely covered us unless we directly request a feature.

Despite these hurdles, I am incredibly relieved that the connection is restored and people outside of Iran can finally see our work once more.

Hoping for freedom.

#FreeBSD #virtio #vsock a couple of months ago I worked on hooking https://github.com/apple/container up so it could run FreeBSD which is obviously far more useful to my community.

This was a relatively trivial exercise involving adding an additional tty and abusing it with a JSON line protocol to exchange messages with a crappy little daemon.

That worked enough, and was enough to nerd snipe much smarter people than me to look at doing it properly, using the VSOCK API.

Here’s a nice article on doing that for #linux with go - https://mdlayher.com/blog/linux-vm-sockets-in-go/

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.

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!

I’ve been working on a native KDE client based on #Carburetor, and I’m happy to announce its release under the name #Karburetor.

The goal of this project is to provide a better Tor experience for KDE Plasma users with a client that fits naturally into the KDE ecosystem, without GNOME dependencies and with a focus on a more native, simple, and integrated experience.

In this release, several parts of Carburetor have been redesigned so Karburetor can run independently from GNOME. The settings, proxy management, and user interface have been adapted to better match KDE standards.

Karburetor now uses native KDE settings and integrates more smoothly with Plasma services. Proxy handling has also been improved, allowing Plasma and KDE applications to directly use the Tor connection.

New features include active Bridge detection, improved support for different Tor transports, and a more extensible architecture for future improvements.

GitHub:
https://github.com/kdefarsi/karburetor

P.S. Due to network limitations in Iran, Codeberg being censored, and GitLab being sanctioned, unfortunately the sources are temporarily hosted on Microsoft GitHub for now.

I may move the project to KDE Invent in the future if possible, after it becomes more stable.
