I saw this on a Finnish post, so let me reformulate it a bit and post it in English.

Finnish universities 1996:

"Here's an operating system we created for you. Here's a chat network we created you can use with the operating system."

Finnish universities 2026:

"We don't know how to replace Facebook for public communications."

Learned helplessness.

Since some people have asked me if I they could collaborate on my rust IPS work, I decided to publish the Repo now on @Codeberg
https://codeberg.org/Toasterson/ips

Note: illumos is the main OS using this package manager but we should make this available for many operatingsystems as we can,

Happy if someone makes ipsOS based on linux aswell. (Please choose a better name though)

The Goal is to bring the IPS innovations to as many people as possible.

The new Microsoftslop copilot key always sends the following key-sqeuence when pressed:

left-shift-down left-meta-down f23-down f23-up left-meta-up left-shift-up

This there’s no real key-up event when you release the key --> it can’t be (properly) used as a modifier like ctrl or alt.

The workaround is to send a pretend key-up event after a time delay, but then you mustn’t be too slow / fast when pressing a shortcut.

• Linux workaround: github.com/m-bartlett/remap-copilot?tab=readme-ov…
• Windows workaround github.com/randyrants/sharpkeys/issues/560

tldr: AI took a perfectly working modifier key from you.

Dummy question.

On one of my Kali Linux installations there isn't enough space on /boot. So, installing a new kernel image fails.

Usually this is caused by having too many old kernels installed. But I my case I only have the running kernel installed. But the initrds have a size of ~200MB. As the initrds on a different Kali system are only around 125 MB I wonder if something goes wrong creating the initrds? Any ideas what I should check?

After decades on #Linux, #FreeBSD finally gave me a reason to switch operating systems

What are #linux folks using for reminders and calendar? I use apple products and have always used apple reminders and calendar. Switching to linux has me flummoxed. I need cross platform compatibility.

Quick hallway usability poll for #Linux #CLI users: if you were running a program to print selected lines from a file, what syntax would you want to use to tell it which lines to choose? Example use cases for inspiration:

- print only line 12
- print lines 15 through 42
- print the first 10 lines
- print the last 10 lines
- print the 100th-last to 90th-last lines
- print every third line
- print every other line between the 10th and 50th

and so on. (No need for a complete answer; I'll take any constructive input whatsoever)

(yes I am writing this, more as an excuse to learn Rust than anything else, but I do want to make a good go at it)

It's time for an #introduction.

I'm glad to meet you! I'm the barista and main administrator of the bsd.cafe and illumos.cafe instances (and other projects), a computer science enthusiast who's been fascinated by technology since childhood. I'm a big supporter of open-source solutions and enjoy working with #BSDs as well as #illumos based OSes and #Linux systems. I enjoy #music and #photography. I've been an avid traveler and am now looking forward to getting back to traveling.I'm married to a wonderful wife and strive to live each day with a positive attitude,making the most of every day to improve our lives.

I like writing blog articles, especially tech ones (https://it-notes.dragas.net) and, from time to time, some of them are widely appreciated, especially in the open-source community.

Thank you for passing by and reading my introduction, enjoy your stay here in the #fediverse

I do enjoy a desktop environment that allows you to _easily_ create an old skool right-click menu on your desktop.

There's some quirks to configuring the ordering, not sure if I'll need to hand edit the menu once I get it most of the way there.

For a mutli-head setup this avoids having to have an Application Launcher on every screen, but it does require access to unobscured desktop in order to work.

And my nerdy part likes the '80s-'90s UNIX desktop vibes it creates. Ha.

Cropped screenshot showing the KDE Menu Editor app with the resultant right-click desktop menu beside it. Nothing fancy, just basic usability and customization.

I was asked about the @Vivaldi Browser. It is a powerful tool and has some nice features, but I cannot recommend it because it is not fully open source. Following GNU Freedom 1, I believe users must have the right to study and change their software, not just audit some of the files.

With Firefox now introducing a one click AI opt out in version 148, it remains the superior recommendation for people who value privacy and code transparency over proprietary UI features. Don't get me wrong, I am completely #NoAI but knowing a browser has a toggle I can verify is better than trusting a corporation’s word.

Vivaldi claims only 5% is proprietary, yet they keep it closed to prevent forks. They benefit from the open-source community while intentionally blocking others from doing the same. That is hypocritical.

For most people, @librewolf and @zenbrowser remain my top recommendations.

DID YOU KNOW? Without Linux, we wouldn’t have Git. When the Linux team lost free access to their management tool, BitKeeper, in 2005, Linus Torvalds built his own replacement in just weeks. That tool now powers almost every major coding platform. Linux didn’t just give us an operating system; it built the foundation for how the world collaborates on code. git logo Follow us IT’S FOSS

The last year I’ve been making a conscious effort to pivot away from proprietary/american tech, for a mix of reasons. I’m increasingly worried about #privacy, data collection, data sovereignity, that kind of things. Not wanting to have more or less my entire life stored on servers inside american privacy and data laws jurisdiction. Wanting to support #european tech. And, where possible, a preference for open source #foss #floss #libre software. I’ve been quite in the «apple fanboy» category for the last 20+ years, and deeply buried in the whole iCloud ecosystem. Partly because of Apple’s traditional stance on privacy, and the whole «if a service is free, you’re the product» thing. I used to look forward to #apple event keynotes like others do to football matches. The last handful of iterations of #macOS, #iOS, macs and iPhones has sparked steadily decreasing amounts of enthusiasm from me though. Anyway, the last year has seen me replace most iCloud services with @protonprivacy , my macbook pro with a @tuxedocomputers infinitybook pro running #linux, and my iPhone with a #Fairphone 6 running @murena /e/OS. And a patchwork of other services and apps to replace what I used to have. Here's a summary, and some questions to others. 1/n

I've got a weird issue with #XWayland. It's not a total deal-breaker, but it's just a bit annoying...

(I'm running KDE Plasma 6.3.6 on Debian Trixie (stable))

My laptop display (left) is set to 1.85x scaling. My 1080p display (right) is set to 1x.

If I don't turn on the option to manually scale XWayland applications ("Legacy applications (X11): Scaled by the system"), the X11 applications I use look SMALLER than normal on my main (right) screen. Left screen too, IIRC.

If I DO turn on that option ("Scaled by the system"), then the applications look great on the main (1x) screen, but they're of course a blurry mess on the left (1.85x) screen.

I thought the setting meant that the applications would be smaller than normal (unscaled) on the left screen, but they're actually tiny on both screens.

Any ideas?

BREAKING: ⚠️ Con todo el orgullo y emoción, tenemos que anunciar un verdadero hito en Undernet Uruguay. Son 3 Noticias así que van en formato hilo 🧵

1) Quedó oficialmente aprobado por el equipo de #debian-mirrors, un mirror completo de Debian GNU/Linux en los servidores de Undernet Uruguay

-> Debian: https://mirror.undernet.uy/debian/

-> Debian archive: https://mirror.undernet.uy/debian-archive/

-> Debian ISO-CDs: https://mirror.undernet.uy/debian-cd/

El listado de mirrors de Debian actualmente muestran un solo mirror (mantenido por la gente de CURE Rocha desde hace años) y recientemente también se registró junto con el nuestro, otro mirror de interior.edu.uy (que en realidad venía funcionando hace un tiempo ya). Nuestro mirror junto con los otros ya está listado en la página de status de mirrors de Debian:

-> https://mirror-master.debian.org/status/mirror-status.html

Por lo que pronto habrán 3 mirrors en Uruguay de las cuales el nuestro será el único sostenido por una comunidad autónoma y autogestionada. No solo eso, también nuestro mirror incluye todas las versiones archive de Debian y las históricas primeras, anteriores a Debian 3. También el mirror incluye las ISO-CD netinstall y businesscard ISOs para poder descargar, crear buteables y luego instalar usando el mirror. Tener un mirror local nos dá soberanía, nos independiza un poco más y hace que el tráfico sea local.
Sostener un mirror es un compromiso a largo plazo y requiere recursos que estamos dispuestos a poner a disposición como los que se ponen para otros proyectos importantes que llevamos adelante en nuestra pequeña red. Finalmente quiero destacar que los otros 2 mirrors uruguayos son de instituciones públicas y en particular, la Universidad de la República (cure.edu.uy e interior.edu.uy) lo que muestra que importante que es un mirror de Debian. Lo unico que no está mirroreado es el repo debian-security, que eso no se mirroréa.

Digging into the talk page of the article on the FAT filesystem and Linux, one finds that, back in 2009, #Wikipedia people thought the same thing. (-:

Guix System first impressions as a Nix user

But NixOS isn't the only declarative distro out there. In fact GNU forked Nix fairly early and made their own spin called Guix, whose big innovation is that, instead of using the unwieldy Nix-language, it uses Scheme. Specifically Guile Scheme, GNU's sanctioned configuration language. I've been following Guix for a bit, but it never felt quite ready t
