The GTK file picker Firefox wants to use by default is meh. I'm not sure why it doesn't use the one provided by the OS when it's just one about:config tweak away. Change widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker from 2 to 1 and you get the much, much better KDE file picker. Assuming you're using @kde of course.

It's been a problem for ages on multiple operating systems, not a new thing. At least now you don't have to set environment variables and change startup scripts.

OK, WTF is going on with #xfce #terminal ?

I've been noticing a lot of files with blank names showing up recently. None of the usual tricks to find "blank named files" worked.

But when I do

ls -li

to show the inode number and then

find . -inum <inode number>

I see that there IS a filename. Buh?

So I opened up #xterm and looked at the same thing. No, the files *do* have names. XFCE IS HIDING THEM

Hiding them how? Well, I can highlight the text and it seems to be a foreground character there. What is it?

If I paste that highlight into an editor, the text is visible.

What the actual fuck?

#linux

aha, it's

ls --color=auto

hiding them somehow

in fact, a little more investigation shows that it's just the #SolarizedDark terminal color preset that's hiding them

I have a #linux question for the class.

I have this jailbroken Intel Chromebook running #debian 13. The screen is broken and I wanted to try and run with no screen, just HDMI (like a pi 500)

When the eDP is installed the HDMI works and screens mirror. And I can even unplug the eDP and it continues to run.

However, it won't even post or get to a pingable status when trying to start it up with no edp LCD installed.

Any ideas why?

Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux Mint Eye Age Verification Amid California Law Backlash:
https://9to5linux.com/ubuntu-fedora-linux-mint-eye-age-verification-amid-california-law-backlash
(Seems like a new era has begun, even Linux isn't fully immune to the invasion of digital freedom, but we're fine for the most part, we can just lie about our age because we aren't required to provide photo ID or selfie unlike on some of the normie platforms. And even if another law comes out requiring Linux too to ask for a personal id, they can't do much to actually enforce it on the thousands of volunteers)
(Flathub and Snap Store having to comply is a much bigger deal though, since those are corporate entities (or at least it's planned to become one in case of Flathub, I wonder if they still stick to their plans after all of this), they might actually be forced, to query age brackets from the OS for now, but pretty likely to ask for photo ID or selfie in the future when the other age verification laws currently pending (Texas, New York, Brazil, Canada, etc.) will be accepted. Of course, it can also be circumvented by using the repos of a distro which doesn't comply, download app binaries from source code repo Releases page, compiling from source (at least from repos hosted on Codeberg, GitHub/Microsoft might comply), downloading from AppImageHub (which is community-maintained afaik) etc., but it still sucks to lose two of the largest software repos (even if I'm not a fan of Snap Store and Snap in general for "ideological" reasons))

RE: https://mastodon.online/@jchyip/116176791660236896

This post explains the value of enforcing a one week pause between a new package is published and when most people can install it.

The practice follows the "safe by default" principle, allowing a smaller group of people a week to notice if the package contains an exploit before wide distribution.

Much like how beta releases have been used or other kinds of phased rollouts.

Yooooo, this is exciting. I've always written off #arm #chomebook as un-saveable since they can't be jailbroken with MrChomebox.

Still stuff to figure out but DAMN this is promising. Being able to save even ARM chromebooks is epic. Dammit I love #linux and #openSource

I love the idea of using #Linux instead of Windows on our laptops, and it __might__ be possible for us to do that. I need to find some time to test some things out. I would love to limit any money given to Microsoft, but I fear that might be tricky with how integrated we can get with some large corporate clients that more or less require interfacing with Microsoft products.

Curious to hear from folks that manage small deployments of #Linux laptops in business settings. My small window perception tells me that #Fedora is often the go to for situations like this, but it's also the ecosystem I'm least familiar with. Curious to hear others opinions on this or if you are aware of resources that speak to this topic, I'd appreciate the pointer. Thanks!

Found that #NVIDIA released new #Beta Branch of their #drivers 595.45.04.

For #FreeBSD:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/265311/

#Linux counterparts:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/265309/

Note that this won't appear in #FreeBSD #ports, as it's "Beta".
"-devel" variants in ports are for whichever the newer of "New Feature Branch (NFB)" or "Production Branch (PB)" of drivers.

Investigating for future NFB or PB upgrades, FreeBSD native driver ports should work by overriding version as usual.
But Linux counterparts (installed by overriding version of x11/linux-nvidia-libs{-devel}) need some fixes.

Beware! This version does NOT work on pre-Turing generations of GPUs, just as 590 series.

Isn't it weird that language stdlibs don't have support for atomically replacing files? Why is there no C++ or Rust stdlib feature which, on UNIX, implements the "create temporary file on the same volume, write to that file, rename into place" pattern

It's not like it's an incredibly difficult piece to write by hand, but there are subtle gotchas. Given that it ought to be the default way programs replace e.g state files, it ought to be supported by the stdlib, no?

Ok, Does this exist??

I hear a lot of talk about how so much of tech was built by queer people. People joking whenever bigots start boycotting Rainbows that they'd best shut off their computers, because the whole stack is built by people represented by it.

Does the book highlighting that, really giving the stories of just how filled with gay, trans, etc. stories early (mid, and modern) computing is?

Because, if it does, I'd love to read it, and if it doesn't.. it *should*, and I almost never use that word. But queer history is being erased all the time and fighting back against that is important.

I don't know my computing history all that well, but I know that many of the major players still are alive and may be willing to tell stories to someone. But we've only got that option for so much longer. I'm stuck as a queer unix-dabbler with very little writing experience wondering if since this idea has come to me, I'm going to have to give it a try.

I know I have a lot of ideas that never get enough of my attention to get off the ground, so if this one grabs you, run with it with my blessing. If you can make this happen, do it. If you'd like to help me do so, I'd welcome the aid. I know I'm under qualified to take this on.

An update on GNOME Calendar: Georges livestreamed himself reviewing and merging parts of merge request !598, making the month view easier than ever to navigate with a keyboard!

This merge request introduces a coordinate-aware navigation system in the month view, which computes the coordinates of relevant event widgets and finds the nearest widget relative to the one in focus when using arrow keys. When tabbing, focus moves chronologically, meaning focus continues to move down until there are no event widgets overlaying that specific cell, which then moves focus to the topmost event widget found in the next cells or rows; tabbing backwards goes in the opposite direction.

To illustrate the sheer complexity of navigation in a calendaring app, here is Georges's live reaction:

"Wow, congratulations, this is looking INSANE, Hari... The hell is going on here"

— Georges, maintainer of GNOME Calendar - https://youtu.be/smofXzVwNwQ?t=1h24m6s

#GNOMECalendar #GNOME #GTK4 #libadwaita #accessibility #a11y #FOSS #OpenSource #Linux

Everyone, rejoice 🙌

Georges livestreamed himself reviewing and merging accessibility contributions in GNOME Calendar again, specifically the entirety of merge request !564 — introducing keyboard-navigable month cells.

This means, as of GNOME 50, GNOME Calendar's month view will be 100% navigable with a keyboard for the first time in its history! The only thing that needs to be done now is interfacing with assistive technologies such as screen readers properly.

Do note that the screen recording attached won't have any alt text, to avoid redundancy. Everything written below is a detailed explanation of the experience, and the recording is essentially a visual demonstration:

- When tabbing between events, focus moves chronologically, meaning focus continues to move down until there are no event widgets overlaying that specific cell, which then moves focus to the topmost event widget found in the next cells or rows; tabbing backwards with Shift+Tab goes in the opposite direction.
- On the last event widget, pressing Tab moves focus to the adjacent month cell. Conversely, Ctrl+Tab on any event widget does the same thing.
- Pressing an activation button (such as Enter or Space) displays the popover for creating event. Additionally, pressing and holding Shift while pressing arrow keys selects every cell between the start and end positions, until the Shift key is released, which displays the popover with the selected range.

Both merge requests !564 and !598 have taken almost an entire year to explore various approaches and finally settle on an approach that works the best for our use case. All of this was done voluntarily, without any financial backing from any entity apart from donors and people sharing these posts to others — something that keyboard navigation in the vast majority, if not all, of views in (proprietary) calendaring apps developed by trillion-dollar companies have not even managed to reach feature parity. If it is not too much trouble, please consider funding my accessibility work on GNOME, thank you ♥️

Hardware hotplug events on Linux, the gory details

One day, I suddenly wondered how to detect when a USB device is plugged or unplugged from a computer running Linux. For most users, this would be solved by relying on libusb. However, the use case I was investigating might not actually want to do so, and so this led me down a poorly-documented rabbit hole.

With #GrapheneOS announcing support for presumably more smartphones by #Motorola starting with with 2027 models, I can finally dream of getting a clamshell flip phone that combines good HW, a nice OS with a small form factor: #RazrUltra! 🎉🕺

However, with Google's new #desktopmode rolling out these days, it might probably worth to think about large folding phones like #RazrFold which might double as a notebook replacement using a BT keyboard & optional USB-C monitor connection. 🤔 It comes with more weight, size & a higher price tag. 🫣

My #Pixel8 will last a few more years anyway. It's more likely that the #OnePlus5 of my wife finally kicks the bucket so that she'll get the Pixel while I buy a Motorola.

Would you accept the downsides of the larger #Fold in order to replace your personal notebook? Would you be able to replace a #Linux desktop with an #Android? Well, at least there seems to be a native #Emacs for Android. Unsure if it'd provide same UX though.

I'm Blake — reintroducing myself as I'm back on the timeline.

I'm a Cloud Engineer working in Site Reliability and DevOps in the healthcare industry. I design and build highly scalable, resilient infrastructure that powers modern healthcare systems. Day-to-day I work with .NET, JavaScript, and TypeScript to deliver reliable platforms.

Outside of work, I build with Go — creating tools that prioritize performance, privacy, and user empowerment.

A couple things I'm working on:

RideAware — A cycling training platform for building structured training plans, analyzing ride data, and completing indoor workouts all in one place.

Arcline Hosting — A self-hosted web hosting service for people who want to know exactly where their data lives. It runs on hardware I own and operate — no AWS, no Cloudflare, no third-party CDN. Shared, WordPress, and VPS plans with personal ticket and email support.

My core interests span SRE, cloud infrastructure, DevOps/automation, and network engineering. I spend a lot of time with Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and enjoy digging into routing, firewalls, and secure network design.

I'm here because I care about privacy, self-hosting, and building things that give people more control over their own data. Good to be back — looking forward to reconnecting with this community.
