  1. I'm going to start paying with credit just so I can do this at all the places I regularly shop, just once.

  2. En una de las actualizaciones del kernel que estas semanas de vulnerabilidades nos ha traído se solucionó el único problema molesto que tuve al pasar a #openSUSE #Leap 16: ahora ya puedo conectar el móvil por usb y el sistema lo monta sin problemas como dispositivo de almacenamiento externo. Ya puedo copiar cosas desde y hacia el móvil usando Dolphin desde #Plasma como lo hacía en 15.6👍

  3. #openSUSE Leap 15.6 llega a su fin de vida. Es hora de actualizar

    El pasado 30 de abril de 2026 openSUSE Leap 15.6 llegó a su fin de vida oficial. Es hora de actualizar a openSUSE Leap 16.0 sí o sí

  9. #KnowledgeBit: A #Leap #Second is a one-second adjustment that is occasionally applied to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), to accommodate the difference between:

    - Precise time (International Atomic Time (TAI), as measured by atomic clocks), and
    - Imprecise observed solar time (UT1), which varies due to irregularities and long-term slowdown in the Earth's rotation.

    Forty-one years ago today, I stepped onto a plane in Halifax, Nova Scotia, heading toward a national office in Toronto, Ontario, and a future that didn't yet have a name.

    I was a Chartered Accountant by trade, but my heart was already in the "pipes"—the emerging, messy world of computer connectivity. For three years, I had already immersed myself deep into the opportunities that came from the online world, understanding the power of global collaboration, online research, knowledge acceleration, and disruptive ideas. In my heart and in my mind, I just knew that something big was on the way, and I wanted to be a part of it.

    41 years on, I know I did the right thing.

    Many times in your life, you will need to confront similar big decisions. Should you make the big, bold leap? Should you take the daring jump into the unknown? Can you really hold your breath, close your eyes, take the plunge into tomorrow, and hope for the best?

    If you don't, you might end up regretting not doing the most important thing you should have done.

    Never put yourself in that situation.

    The greatest risk you will ever take is the risk of staying where you are when you know you were meant for what’s next.

    Don't ask what happens if you fail.

    Ask what happens if you never try at all.

In my heart and in my mind, I just knew that something big was on the way, and I wanted to be a part of it.

    The move came about because I had been identified by the national office as someone who could implement the opportunities of that 'something big on a nationwide basis. They offered me a position to chase my ideas, albeit in a bigger, well-funded way - and I accepted.

    That moment in time was the final, terrifying step in my ultimate pivot. I wasn't just changing roles; I was abandoning "certainty" for a wild risk on what would eventually become the Internet. And yet, I've never looked back with regret at the decision I made to move forward. I often wonder what my world would be like today if I had let that regret define my future.

    When big, bold opportunities are unfolding, do you chase the big ideas or keep doing small things?

    The art of the infinite pivot involves the former, obviously, not the latter.

    Big trends involve big opportunities, but only come around so often. So why would you wait?

    Think of it this way: the biggest pivot of your life won’t start with a spreadsheet or a market report.

    It starts when you finally choose to listen to the quiet, internal voice inside you telling you to leave the safety of "certainty" for the risk of something bigger.

    When I quit the corporate world in 1990, I didn't have a 50-page business plan. What I had was a gut feeling that something massive was happening with global networking. I just knew I had to be a part of it. I had no idea where it was going to take me, what I might do, or how I might shape my tomorrow.

    But I just knew... so I traded a predictable salary for the unpredictable thrill of the unknown.

    I stopped chasing the "safe" path and started chasing the thing I actually wanted to chase.

    It worked out pretty well!

    Unknown to me at the time, I was deeply caught up in one of the most important aspects of innovation of all - emotional commitment to a bigger trend. And that is the lesson many leaders miss: true innovation requires an emotional investment in a bold future. You'll only accomplish big things if you innovate within the bigger trend.

    My early pivot has continued through my career. In fact, throughout my 36-year voyage, the moments of greatest growth always happened after I abandoned the "proven" model to follow a bigger signal that only I could hear.

    Look, certainty is comfortable, but being bold takes you further.

    Don't wait for the world to permit you to change.

    Listen to your internal voice.

    Chase the thing you want to chase.

    Because it might be in front of you right now.

    Eddig nem néz ki rosszul. Bár, azt meg kell hagyni, hogy eddig úgy néz ki, hogy nem is a sebesség bajnoka a dolog.

    De, majd meglátjuk, miként funkcionál a jelenlegi otthoni #Chromecast után / mellett.

    Én eléggé bizakodó vagyok.

  31. Liegt es an #Leap, oder an mir?

    Wer mich kennt, der weiß das ich viel und gerne #openSUSE #Tumbleweed benutze. Nun habe ich als Hauptsystem ein Rechner mit vorinstallierten Leap ergattert und stoße immer wieder auf Probleme, die müsselig per Terminal aus dem Weg geschaffen werden müssen. Soviel gebastel war ich unter #Tumbleweed nicht gewohnt. Kleinste Änderungen an der Firewall, dem CUP-Server, der Repository-Liste usw.

    @opensuse
    #FOSS #Linux #opensource #community

  32. #openSUSE #leap 16

    Fall 1:
    Durchgeführtes Upgrade von 15.6 auf 16 mit opensuse-migrations-tool. Discover für Updates (inkl. flatpak) funktioniert. Installation "after reboot" funktioniert nicht (wird nicht installiert) - gelingt nur via zypper up.

    Fall 2:
    Neu aufgesetztes openSUSE leap 16 - genau die selbe Situation mit den Updates. Klappt nur via zypper up.

    Also genau gesagt sind dadurch die Updates die durch Discover in der Taskleiste angezeigt werden völlig sinnlos.
