Where should I file a suggestion for change in KDE Discover?
Based on talks with new Linux users, many of them are confused when they open "Software Center" and are met with multiple "sources" for a single application - from repos, Flatpak, Snap.
I think Discover should include a small ? icon next to the source selector, explaining what specific format is, what are the pros and cons (eg. "This is repo package, it may be outdated if you're using an LTS release"). -
Less than 2 weeks to P.I.W.O.! This is a great initiative, a community-drivern open-source convention, hosted in Poznan, Poland. Lectures, workshops, and even LAN party!

A small release - I decided to build an open-source digital photo frame from Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and my local Immich server.

It even has a 3D printed case!

Okay @kubuntu, I'm impressed.
The stability of LTS (locked package versions in between releases), nears stock and unmodified KDE Plasma 6, releases every 6 months on the dot...
And all of this without forcing user to Snap packages!
I think I found my Wayland daily driver. If only Calamares didn't crash when trying to manually partition LVM... But that's a bug in Calamares since like 2016, so unlikely to be fixed.

I may be stupid but...
Can someone explain to me, what's the reasoning behind Reddit sending EVERY KEYSTROKE in a comment as a separate API POST request, instead of waiting until you clikc "Send" and send the whole text at once?
This approach results in 200 ms input lag when typing, which is super annoying and distracting -
Okay, I heard that runit init system is pretty fast. But was not ready for it...
Void Linux + Sway + TUIGreet. From decrypting LUKS to login screen (according to dmesg) - 0.8 seconds.
From pushing the button to login screen (excluding GRUB menu and typing in LUKS password) - just about 7 seconds.Wild. Just wild.

So I've been looking for an alternative for #Google #Drive to host on my server. Very minimal requirements - only file storage, #WebDAV support, #Collabora integration (need mobile editor, and not going to pay OnlyOffice a single penny).
#Filebrowser #Quantum was closest, but (for now) it only supports OnlyOffice. Was also impressed by #GroupOffice, but the UI is very clunky and did not get "wife approval mark"Finally landed on @sync_in. Fits all my needs perfectly!

Quick question:
I'm building a tiny, lightweight service monitoring solution. Currently it's set up using SQLite. Should I make it compatible with some TSDB, like InfluxDB?

Hmm I'm at a crossroads...
I self-host my Matrix instance, have some encrypted rooms there, chat with people from other instances. Works fine.
But Hetzner just raised the prices, and my backups are getting bigger and bigger. It's now 8 Euro / month, and if the backups keep growing at this rate, by the end of the year it could be 10-12 Euro / month.
What do I do... Suck it up, or just switch to public instance...
Difficult choices...

My first REAL project release :D
Hyper specific, only for Polish people. Python program to grab PM10 and NO2 data from your local air quality station via GIOŚ API and notify you through Ntfy if their concentration is higher than the limit recommended by GIOŚ (or set by you).
It even has a binary release!

That's it.
Cancelled my Nitro subscription (bye bye paying $4, because they never raised prices for already subscribed), and moved all the people I was still talking to there to Matrix.
Now Discord is only for non-private stuff, like official game servers and FOSS projects servers, basically as support hotline.
All my personal, private talks are now on E2EE channels - Matrix for friends, Messenger for family.
Free at last

I distincly remember a few years back saying (as #Arch user) that #Debian brings nothing new to the #linux world, it's old and #obsolete, and shouldn't even exist in the first place. After all, who would want to use an #LTS distro with old packages and out-of-date version of #gnome ?
Few years passed and now both my #laptop and my main #PC are running Debian, and I'm asking my employer to allow me to replace #Windows 11 with Debian
How the turns have tabled...

Just filed my first "real" merge proposal for major project.
It's only a few lines of Python to enable striped LVs in Ubuntu Curtin installer. Probably made 10 mistakes in 5 lines, as it was a good while since I wrote anything in Python 🤦♂️
But hey, at least I try to be the change I want to see! -
It's bizzare to me, that the curtin installer, which is designed by @ubuntu to automate server and desktop installs doesn't allow me to configure striped LVM. I even found where in the code it could be added:
https://git.launchpad.net/curtin/tree/curtin/commands/block_meta.py
Line 1572, lvm_partition_handler, add if info.get('stripes') and cmd.extend(["--stripes", stripes])
(of course this would need a change in info to get a "stripes" key from YAML, but this shouldn't be too hard)

#Cyberpunk2077 #VR Mod taken down by CD Project Red DMCA!Or rather by huge #ego of the author
The guy made a #framework to convert normal game into VR. This framework is universal, but needs specific patches and configs for each supported game, that modify and interact with game files.
It's being held behind monthly #Patreon subscribtion.
CDPR #EULA doesn't allow mods to be paid, so they suggested he makes the CP77 configs free with optional #donations.
He refused, so they filed #DMCA

The team behind the revival project of Concord (Sony's flopped hero shooter, that was shut down 12 days after release) after months of work managed to get the game running on private servers. They posted this achievement on Youtube...
And then were DMCA-d to oblivion by Sony.
Moreover, signups to alpha tests were halted due to "concerning legal movements of the IP holders".
Sony - very kindy, FUCK OFF

I've installed #LMDE 7 #Gigi on my laptop and I must say... Now I'm tempted to switch from #linuxmint 22.2 to LMDE 7 on my main rig, once it releases. It's basically Debian Stable but with Cinnamon instead of GNOME. Which is juuuust fine by me!

Okay, this would actually be pretty #funny, if it wasn't #tragic.
I installed @GrapheneOS on my #Pixel 8. All runs good, installed sandboxed #Google Play Services. All my 4 banking apps work good, my government app for my ID and driver's license works as expected.
There's one app that refuses to work - #McDonalds app. For some God forsaken reason, MCD app has stronger and higher #security requirements than basically any #bank or #government application.
This is hilarious...

Some time ago, when we were working together @NasaGuy had to time how long it takes to install, setup and update a fresh #Windows 11 installation, plus install basic set of #software for new employee. Remind me, was it like 2 hours? Closer to 3?
I just timed how long it took me from cold boot to have fully set up and usable (including wallpaper) #Linux #Mint installation.
38 minutes.
THIRTY EIGHT MINUTES!

A friend of mine asked me to #3Dprint something for her. I warned her, it may be #expensive, remembering how years ago I probed my #Anet #A8 and it was sucking up like 350 W during printing, and this would be a 4 hour print.
Turns out, 3D printers came a long way. Now my #BambuLab A1 Mini is literally sipping just over 60 W. Still not insignifficant, but a huge improvement, compared to Anet. -

Reportedly #Nintendo banned a user who bought several second-hand #Switch games and ran them on his #Switch2. Reason for the ban? Nintendo found out, that these particular #cartridges were ripped/dumped by the previous owner.
The guy was eventually unbanned after proving to Nintendo #support that he had bought the carts off #Facebook Marketplace and was not the one who ripped them.
My question is - HOW did Nintendo know, these carts were dumped/ripped? Is every cart individually traceable...?

Hot take:
This whole drama around #PirateSoftware and #StopKillingGames, Ross' response, all the videos covering this, all the talk that SKG is dead... It actually helped the initiative.
If I remember correctly, when this all started last week, the petition was at around 500k, maybe a bit less. Now it's gathering THOUSANDS of signatures per hour. @ordinarygamers uploaded a video 12 hours ago, showing 695k, now it's at 800k.
We might actually do this guys!

It's funny how #Arch can lag behind #Fedora in releasing stable #Plasma version and release an untested #linux-firmware, that has the potential of damaging your GPU IN THE SAME WEEK!
Once again, Arch users being #alfa testers of the #Linux world, while boldly proclaiming, that Arch doesn't break.
Thank you for your duty, soldiers! 🫡

What's great about #Linux for #gamers is even if a #game doesn't support #cloud save #backup, you can just... do it yourself!
`%command% ; /path/to/script.sh` will run a #bash script every time the game closes, no matter if closed or crashed.
For me the script rsyncs the save to my #homelab #server, and once a week the saves are zipped and sent to my #AWS #S3 #bucket, with ones older than 2 weeks moving automatically to #glacier.
How cool is that?! -
We need a "WRAP IT THE FUCK UP" button in #Teams...
Our "quick" Backlog Refinement meeting is 32 minutes now, since ONE guy CANNOT be quick and concise with his tasks. He just finished yapping about one of 6 of his tasks.
Last week when he wasn't around we wrapped the meeting (6 people) in 9 minutes. But apart from that one time we never managed to finish it in under 2 hours. All thanks to ONE yapper.

I hate my #bank...
"As a #security measure" when you #login, instead of typing it the whole #password, you have to type in 8 #random characters from it, like 1st, 4th, 10th etc.
What does this #secure against? Your user being able to log in? Every time I have to open a #notepad and type out my password, count the characters, and type them in one by one, instead of JUST USING A PASSWORD #MANAGER.
If an #attacker knows your password... WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES THIS MAKE?!

Yeah, so it looks like that's the case. My #mobo have one USB 2 controller and two #USB 3 ones (one connected to #chipset and one directly connected to #CPU to enable high speed USB-C).
The #keyboard was connected to the CPU one, and on every port the USB #NIC has some weird issues with #ping spikes. When switched to USB 2.0 the ping issues go away but the speed is 250 Mbps. Connecting to the other controller's USB 3.2 I have full speed and no ping issues.#Unlucky I guess...

WE DID IT!
Bazzite 42 + TP-Link USB Ethernet NIC + static IP + connecting my DAC/AMP with USB 2.0 + installing on internal SSD instead of external + disabling XHCI Hand-off solved all my issues with Linux on PC.
Time to finally go home... Home sweet home Linux...
Only issue that persists, but I suspect just an application bug - launching Steam freezes my Plasma for 3-5 seconds.

I give up.
Apparently there's some bug in #amdgpu driver that affects #Radeon #RX7900XTX in some certain conditions and causes it to hang a process, not caring about a process. A pull request intending to fix this is open for more than a year, and it doesn't seem to be moving at all. So no #Linux for my #PC.So sadly, back to #Windows... At least I have #Aurora on my #laptop (which tbh feels a lot like #MacOS and I'm unsure how I feel about it)...
-
As it turns out, #MacOS doesn't have any #accesibility options available during first setup. No Magnifier, no Screen Keyboard, nothing. You also cannot connect any #bluetooth accessory during the initial setup.
So now my parents are stuck with #Mac Mini serving as a paperweight until they get a USB-C hub, cuz they didn't realize you cannot connect your Bluetooth keyboard to Mac during initial setup.
What year is it? 1999? -
Fun #activities from last night:
Spending 4 hours trying to come up with a way to install #Alacritty on #Aurora #Linux without layering packages.
I ended up installing #rustup from #homebrew, using rustup to setup #cargo and then using cargo to install Alacritty. And I had to make .desktop file myself.
Only caveat - no way to include updating cargo and crates in "ujust update" (or I'm not smart enough). So after updating I have to manually run "rustup update" and "cargo install alacritty" -
Hmmm, for some weeks now I had problems with #network - on every #distro, every #DE. With my inbuilt 2.5 Gig #Realtek NIC the connection would just drop. On 2.5 Gig #Intel I226-V the ping response times would spike to 100-200 ms, which made it unusable (and in #Plasma caused the DE to become unresponsive).
Switched to old 1 Gig Intel 82571, and it would set itself to 100 Mbps. I changed cable from Cat 5e UTP to Cat 6 FTP and it jumped to 1 Gig.
Was the #shitty #cable the #problem all along...? -
So I was bored today, and decided to try and learn a bit more about #Distrobox, #Podman and all of that stuff.
The result is allmbox - a Podman #image + script to #launch a #Ubuntu 24.04 a distrobox with fully set up #llama3.2 (running on #ollama) and #AnythingLLM, to have a locally-run #chatbot!
Wasn't too difficult!
