Poor man's calc (more like bc wrapper):

The `tr -d ',₹'` used to remove unwanted stuff that i often copy from emails or pdf and then pass everything to the bc for actual calculations.

On #Linux, I had been using Sway, but moved on to try Swayfx, Scroll, Niri, Hyprland and even a couple tiling solutions for Gnome and now I'm back on Swaywm.

I'll give some quick thoughts on each:

- Swayx: Great incremental improvement to Sway with rounded corners and drop shadows. If better supported on Ubuntu (work requirement), maybe I'll return.
- Niri. Nice scroller. Missing left/right alignment. 🧵

I know it's not FreeDOS but I wanted to share a cool project from an intern I mentored.

You don’t love systemd timers enough

My favorite metonymic technology term is "cron job": even though cron may not literally be the daemon that executes actions on a schedule, we apply the term to anything that walks like a cron and quacks like a cron. As Patrick McKenzie likes to point out, cron jobs are one of the most eminently useful computing primitives. They offer utility that's almost immediat

Dreißig Jahre KDE

...und alles begann mit einem genervten Studenten.

1996 hatte Matthias Ettrich genug von der Zerklüftung der Unix-Desktops, auf denen jedes Programm anders aussah und sich anders bedienen ließ. Seine Idee war eine einheitliche, freundliche Oberfläche für ganz normale Menschen, nicht nur für Profis. Er nannte sie Kool Desktop Environment, kurz KDE, ein kleiner Seitenhieb auf das damals verbreitete kommerzielle CDE. Gebaut wurde das Ganze mit C++ und dem ein Jahr zuvor von der norwegischen Firma Troll Tech entwickelten Framework Qt, das bis heute das technische Fundament von KDE bildet.

Auffällig viel davon ist in Deutschland passiert. 1997 trafen sich rund fünfzehn Entwickler in Arnsberg zur allerersten KDE-Konferenz, die später als KDE One in die Geschichte einging. Im selben Jahr wurde in Tübingen der KDE e.V. gegründet, der das Projekt bis heute rechtlich und finanziell trägt. Schon 1998 erschien die erste stabile Version, und 1999 zog ein kleiner Drache namens Konqi als Maskottchen ein, der uns bis heute erhalten geblieben ist.

Von da an ging es Schlag auf Schlag. KDE 2 brachte im Jahr 2000 den Browser und Dateimanager Konqueror, KDE 3 folgte 2002, und KDE 4 baute 2008 mit Plasma, Dolphin und Okular eine ganz neue Welt. 2014 kam Plasma 5, 2024 dann die große MegaRelease mit Plasma 6 und dem Umstieg auf Wayland. 2025 hat das Projekt sogar eine eigene Distribution namens KDE Linux aus der Taufe gehoben.

Zwei Dinge mag ich an dieser Geschichte besonders. Erstens: KDEs Web-Engine KHTML wurde Ende der Neunziger zur Grundlage von Apples WebKit und später Googles Blink. Heute laufen Chrome, Edge, Safari, Opera, Vivaldi und Brave im Kern auf KDE-Erbe, und in fast jeder Zeile deiner Server-Logs steht bis heute KHTML. Zweitens: KDE hat es bis in die Raumfahrt geschafft. In der Doku Good Night Oppy sieht man einen NASA-Ingenieur, der während des Flugs zum Mars an einer KDE-3-Workstation arbeitet.

Und ganz nebenbei steckt KDE Plasma seit 2021 auch im Steam Deck von Valve, also in einem der meistverkauften Handhelds der letzten Jahre.

Dreißig Jahre freie Software, getragen von einer Gemeinschaft, die Kontrolle, Datenschutz und digitale Selbstbestimmung in den Mittelpunkt stellt. Herzlichen Glückwunsch, KDE.

I sometimes wonder if the difference between #Linux users and other computer users is simply that linux people are more fascinated with the OS and less concerned about actually doing anything useful with an app/program…

I don't know how I hadn't discovered this sooner, but the Gardenhouse project (https://gardenhouse.pinkro.se/) is everything I've ever wanted. The novel systemd utilities reimplemented in a distro (and kernel!) agnostic way and fully stand-alone. Their tmpfiles.d implementation is particularly impressive.

I've been experimenting with #Linux VMs on #macOS using #UTM. Two #Debian VMs, both on Apple's hypervisor, one with QEMU, the other with Apple's #Virtualization backend. Both are running Apache with PHP stack, boot with less than 200MB RAM in use, running Debian's cloud kernel.

The VM with QEMU boots in about 4 seconds, the full Apple stack VM boots in about 2 seconds. A full blown Linux environment with a container-like startup time.

To be crystal clear, the QtQuick side is now in rather good shape, we just need people to test it out and hunt down all the bugs, especially the weird edge cases! QtWidget side is still very much work in progress, though some buttons have some Union compatibility.

Anyway, hope people will have fun testing things out. I will likely write a blogpost about how to tinker with it when I'm not so swamped with beta bug hunting.

KDE Linux in a virtual machine (or bare metal if you're adventurous) is good way to test out the beta.

See also: https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.6.91/

edit:

And if things fail, you can change back to Breeze. Changing between Breeze and Union will need you to restart the app and/or even whole PC. Depends. Uh. Beta software!! :)

One wonderful thing about migrating from #GitLab to #Radicle is that we got rid of our one and only #Linux VM. The #HardenedBSD dev/build infrastructure now runs 100% on HardenedBSD (rather than 99% 🙂).

Edit[0]: Clarified that it's the dev/build infrastructure that's 100% HardenedBSD. We do have one off-site backup system (maintained by a trusted third party) running OpenBSD.

Canonical has announced a new tool that lets developers quickly create reproducible isolated dev environments made from SDKs and defined by a YAML.

Using unprivileged LXD system containers with their own kernel and a host resource access system inspired by snapd, they company say they'll even allow agentic tools to run in a 'harmless' way.

Workshop CLI.

This #FreeBSD bug highlights a strength of one of the features that makes #HardenedBSD attractive: optional blocking of loading of kernel modules.

HardenedBSD provides a sysctl node: hardening.pax.kmod_load_disable. By default, it is set to 0, permitting loading of kernel modules. When set to 1, loading kernel modules is prohibited. When set to 2, loading kernel modules is prohibited and a reboot is required to permit loading kernel modules once again.

HardenedBSD also has a notion of "insecure/untrusted" kernel modules. Some kernel modules in base, most notably the #Linux syscall emulation layer known as the linuxulator, are explicitly marked as untrustworthy. Users wishing to use those kernel modules must explicitly tag them as trusted (hbsdcontrol pax disable insecure_kmod /path/to/kernel/module.ko). Only then will the kernel module be permitted to load (the hardening.pax.kmod_load_disable sysctl node does need to be set to 0).

These two features can help protect users against situations where kernel modules get autoloaded, like with puppet, ifconfig, zfs, and other tools.
