  1. I read on TechPowerUp an item talking about a change in one of Microsoft's Patch Tuesday updates:

    I'm positive the file managers I've been using on Linux have done it this way - the sensible way - for at least the last twenty years.

    Did Windows File Explorer really only show sizes in KB until now?

  7. Lets write a lil tool,
    so we don't need to use #telnet anymore

    https://codeberg.org/alceawisteria/DeviceHacking/src/branch/main/routers/TPLink_M7350/proggies/2026-01-10-ShellBrowser

    And now we can use (the previously enabled lighttpd listing extended by an html wrapper and make cgi-bin execute *sh.

    Without any command line. In the #webbrowser .
    ❤️ Lovely
    Whats that ?
    If you copy in a sh onto your router externalSD ?

    ..
    Sure. added a FixPermission button just for that. :abloblamp:

    I like #CgiBin . Is nice

    (I kinda god bamboozled by FileExplorer putting a lock on the files and them not being written by the sh. Seems like WinSCP handles that better. Darn you #Windows #Fileexplorer )

  9. Quelqu'un connaitrait une bonne alternative a DOpus sous Linux svp ? 🤔
    Dual panel, onglets, favoris, raccourcis personnalisables et surtout : double click zone vide pour remonter d'un niveau 😍😍
    Si en prime intégré dans KDE c'est parfait 😏

  11. > Build 26220.7271 ushers in a change whereby File Explorer is preloaded in the background when Windows 11 boots. This is an effort to try and fudge around the problematic delay that's often witnessed when you start File Explorer the first time after turning on your PC.

    In an attempt to make the file explorer load faster, #microsoft further inflates #ram pricing...

  12. I saw an interesting article yesterday that said #Microsoft was finally admitting that some program of theirs was so bloated and #slow to start that it was harming the user experience, so they were considering pre-loading it at boot (or #login) time so #users wouldn't see the huge delay when they went to open it.

    (Of course, that would slow down booting or login...)

    But that program is ... Windows File Explorer.

    So let me get this straight - a glorified file picker and directory navigator is so #bloated and slow it can't start up instantly? And thousands of engineers can't figure out how to make it fast or efficient?

    Maybe they should ask #CoPilot to speed it up.

  16. Okay, i was annoyed again, so I did a thing:
    Windows doesn't previews .svg files by default in the windows explorer.
    I needed some svg files for the AutoSizeText project github.com/SpielmannSpiel/Auto to create a new icon for it.

    So I made an image viewer in @godotengine ^^"
    Is anyone interested in such a thing? maybe even as a tool in #PEBI?
    I think open sourcing this might also be a good idea.
