Meine lieben Fedinautys, ich brauche mal eure Erfahrungswerte! 🫢 Ich überlege gerade, was nach meinem Nothing Phone 2 kommen soll. Eigentlich war ich ziemlich festgelegt: Aber jetzt erwische ich mich immer öfter bei dem Gedanken: Warum nicht gleich den grossen Schritt wagen und das Jolla 2026 mit SailfishOS nehmen? Mir ist durchaus bewusst, dass das nicht einfach "anderes Handy, anderes Betriebssystem" bedeutet. Aber genau das reizt mich. Bis vor drei Jahren war ich noch ein bequemer Apple-User und habe Smartphone, Anwendungen und Apps ziemlich gedankenlos genutzt. Dann wagte ich mit dem Nothing Phone meinen ersten Schritt in die Android-Welt und habe anschliessend selbst LineageOS geflasht, um mich Schritt für Schritt von BigTech und der Orange aus dem Oval Office zu lösen. Danach habe ich mir einen refurbished Acer zugelegt und Linux Mint darauf installiert. Ich bin also durchaus bereit, zu lernen und Kompromisse einzugehen, aber meine Erfahrung mit Linux und alternativen Betriebssystemen ist noch ziemlich überschaubar ... Nun denn … bevor ich mich ins Verderben stürze und ein Jolla-Smartphone bestelle: Soll ich es wagen? Mir ist bewusst, dass damit vermutlich eine lange Beziehung zu Foren, Wikis und der Kommandozeile beginnt. Aber lohnt es sich? Wer von euch hat den Schritt gewagt und mag berichten?
Fairphone 6+ mit CalyxOS, sobald es verfügbar ist.
You're welcome :)
I'd kinda forgotten about Cosmic because of the impression (don't know if it's justified) that it's Gnome-like. But if it's really AI-free, might be worth checking out.
PS ah but it seems it's dependent on SystemD, which means it's Linux-only.

So Cosmic can't be run on an AI-free OS like NetBSD :(
Debian is obviously a rock-solid choice for CERN. With their massive software ecosystem and community, it makes total sense why they went that route. But part of me can't help but wonder what a NetBSD-powered Large Hadron Collider would look like! ⚛️
NetBSD’s hardware portability just seems like a perfect match for lab. Plus, using pkgsrc to manage complex scientific software seamlessly across all those different niche architectures would be incredible to see at that scale.
Nothing but respect for the Debian rollout, but a sysadmin can dream! 🚩🚀

A new set of Signstar releases has been issued. 🎉
The project can be used to create a secure enclave for digital signatures.
Over the last year, Signstar gained support for the YubiHSM2 as backend.
A new configuration file format has been developed and several new tools have been created to allow interaction with the Signstar host and the connected HSM backends.

I have no idea why I never tried #kde before. It's amazing.
I think it was the #gnome #kde wars. But wasn't that like...the late 90s? Maybe the early 2000s?
Even so, I backed off gnome a looong time ago to use #fvwm (remember fvwm?) and #xfce
This is my first #kde machine and....wow. So much control!
The most amazing thing is #kdeconnect which somehow I never heard of?!? You don't even have to use KDE (or even #linux) to use it.
Seamless #phone/#computer connection. File transfer, SMS from the command line, "find my phone", shared notifications and contacts, two-way control, etc.
*Presumably* it only works when they are on the same wifi but I literally have no idea how it's working so maybe not?
Anyone have simple instructions for connecting a modem to a Linux Mint serial point so I can dial in?

Curious. After updating to the latest #Debian Sid, #RDP (using either #KRDC or #Remmina) to a #Windows 10 PC will crash if I try to copy a lot of text to the #clipboard.
By “a lot” I mean more than a kilobyte or two, and by “copy” I mean selecting the text in Notepad and Ctrl+C.
It works fine as long as the selection is small enough, but copy enough text and… 💥 the RDP session disconnects, and the remote app might also crash.
Does this mean anything to anyone?

Overjoyed to announce that my AT-SPI bridge for Asahi Linux was just merged with muvm, bringing out of the box accessibility to applications like Steam and various other games that use 4K page sizes on apple hardware! This was my second Rust project and was written completely without an LLM, and I found it to be a great way to learn more about the inner workings of Linux. If you have a spare M1 or M2 Mac, I highly recommend giving it a go [when a new release is packaged up]! #linux #a11y #accessibility #rust #asahi
Seems like #Linux's legendarily huge variety of desktop environments collapses pretty fast if your screen setup is anything other than plain old single-screen 96dpi.
I guess because, for the vast majority of Linux's existence, we were all using plain old single-screen 96dpi or *maybe* two 96dpi screens. The mixed 1.5×/1× configuration I'm using became common only recently, and the old stuff isn't made for this.

It is always a good idea to explore what is out there. The sysadmin/dev crowd certainly does and you experiment with another OS that is not your “daily driver”, from time to time. For the #Linux user this often means distro hopping. For a #BSD user, this might mean to look at Linux from time to time (again): Void and Alpine Linux are probably distros that are much liked. Back in the day, I started with #SUSE Linux 8, that’s why I am drawn to sometimes take a look what the #openSUSE project has to offer nowadays. So, I was trying out #MicroOS and I have to be honest here — I like it, not systemd of course, but generally, it is really neat. Like I mean it is good to be a bit OS-agnostic.

Hoe kunnen we ervoor zorgen dat er een versie komt die op #Linux draait/functioneert/ondersteund is? ( of een platform onafhankelijke versie )
On #Linux, watching a readable directory reports every event on a file inside it, even one the attacker cannot read directly - this is a bug that's still present on Linux today, although it's partially mitigated now. The most severe case of this was with `/dev/input`, where every keypress generates notifications on /dev/input even across users (even across SSH users). While the key itself isn't leaked, the timing between it has been studied for over two decades.
