Gerade habe ich vier Stunden damit zugebracht, herauszufinden, warum die letzten beiden Kanäle meines Behringer UMC1820 (plus Audiophile ADAT) unter Linux/Pipewire nicht funktionierten.
Es stellte sich (natürlich) heraus, dass ich mit dem Befehl
"cat /proc/asound/cards"
die ID des Interfaces herauskriegen kann. Diese kann ich dann selbstverständlich in
"amixer -c 2 contents"
verwenden, um herauszubekommen, wie der Mixer für das Interface eingestellt ist.

Hey! If you want to support a human made, queer led, free operating system that is doing something new and interesting, go chip ElementaryOS a few bucks.
The team putting it together is absolutely devoted to the community, rejects non-human contributions, and is loud and proud about building an ethically sourced, truly accessible platform for the average person.
Maybe you don't use Elementary OS or care about the work it is doing, but your aging auntie, disabled neighbor, colorblind friend, or non-native English speaking co-worker may get a ton of value out of it.
Contributions to EOS also support development of the Pantheon DE which is one of the lightest, friendliest, and most stunningly beautiful projects to grace FOSS in a long time.
Help out where you can!

It’s my birthday! I have a big favor to ask 🙏🏼
This year has been especially financially challenging. Long story short, if everyone who downloaded @elementary OS this year paid just $1, I’d be up some $30,000 but alas I’m down about $11,000 and I’m really concerned about making ends meet until the release of OS 9.
If you feel inclined to help me out, I’d really appreciate it if you’d buy a copy of my AI-free Open Source OS or otherwise help with funding via this page: https://elementary.io/get-involved#funding

Linux Foundation ja Red Hat lyövät hynttyyt yhteen mm. Palantirin kanssa. Yhteistyökumppanista tulee heti mieleen, mitä myös Linus Torvalds sanoi: “This is *NOT* some kind of "social warrior" project, never has been, and never will be.”
Jos tulkitsen Nvidian yritysblogia oikein, niin tämän Open Secure AI Alliancen tarkoitus on (suoraan ja/tai välillisesti) puskea avoimen lähdekoodin projekteihin vibekoodattuja tietoturvakorjauksia tai pelkästään etsiä haavoittuvuuksia kielimalleilla sen lisäksi, että kaavailevat jotain uutta paikallisesti toimivaa “AI-agenttia” joka jotenkin epämääräisesti auttaisi toisten moisten kyberhyökkäyksiltä suojautumisessa. Pitäähän Nvidian nyt GPU:nsa saada myytyä. Tavoitteena ei siis ole palkata koodareita paikkaamaan tietoturva-aukkoja.
What's the most common complaint I've heard about Linux?
Not the installation process.
Not finding a distro.
Not getting programs to work.
Not troubleshooting.
Not hardware compatibility.
The most common complaint about Linux I've seen is this:
For a normal computer user, asking for help is just about impossible.
They ask a simple question and:
People respond "Did you Google it?"
People complain that the question wasn't asked "correctly".
People respond "RTFM"
People get mad??? at them for making an easy mistake.
We can't expect normal people to know to, or even know how to deal with any of that stuff.
Search engines these days are awful, manuals are hard to read for most people (especially stuff like ArchWiki), and normal people make mistakes we think are easily avoidable.
The solution to making Linux more popular is not ruthless promotion. The solution is to actually help the people who are trying to use it.
Although #AlpineLinux does not address what @aaron was obliquely referring to, which is the issue of LLM-generated code in #Linux. (Unless there's been another scandal since last week and I am behind the times. I try to keep up, but I have been busy. (-:)

This register article, like anti-ai in general, suffers from one central problem.
It never defines #AI.
Can you be against something without saying what exactly it is? Is it any software that is trained? Is it the image recognition that you have long used? Or does it become bad only when it becomes "large" and "language" based training?

@roland @Binder It was profound foresight in the mid-70s to design software for an operating system that would not even be conceived of, let alone released, until at least a decade later.
That requires developing functional understanding of a future project without anyone first conceiving or conceptualizing it, a truly innovative approach that upends conventional applications of feasible reality.
This will be taught in #ComputerScience theory courses for generations to come.
Jails, Not Containers: FreeBSD Isolation Done Right – Umair Khurshid | Klara Systems
<https://klarasystems.com/articles/jails-not-containers-freebsd-isolation-done-right/>
Containers play a major role in modern infrastructure, but they are not the right answer for every workload. This article explores how FreeBSD jails provide purpose-built isolation, predictable security boundaries, and deep ZFS integration—making them ideal infrastructure-grade services where stability is essential. …

Steam Machine with SteamOS Linux - initial thoughts https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/07/steam-machine-with-steamos-linux-initial-thoughts/
To devs who celebrate time zone bugs getting fixed:
An almost decade-old bug in systemd's handling of Daylight Saving changes is getting fixed:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6036
Before timers (cron jobs) scheduled to run during the transition could get stuck.
Today, the Linuxulator did its job, and it did it very well.
A client is experimenting with moving from Docker to FreeBSD and jails, and they seem very happy with it so far.
The issue is that part of their build process - as so often happens - relies on Node dependencies that only compile on Linux, macOS, etc., but not on FreeBSD, due to a missing binary that isn't provided for it. Currently, they build on their local machines and push the output to the server, but sometimes they need to make quick changes on the fly.
So, I set up a Linux jail (Ubuntu) using BastilleBSD, installed the dependencies, set up a bind mount, and granted them access to the jail. The result: now they can compile right from there too, improving their overall workflow.
The Linuxulator - and even more so, illumos's lx zones - are truly remarkable pieces of technology.

OK let me run up this flagpole. now I KNOW there's so many UNIX-style desktop environments that I can't possible make a really comprehensive poll but I'm genuinely curious as to what folks use. We first experienced Xfce quite a while ago (late 1990s when it was new) and after spending a while with KDE and other things instead we settled back into Xfce. It gets the job done and that's what matters.
So, your #Linux / #BSD / #UNIX desktop environment!
