Nice to see LTT gave Linux a fairer shake than last time (despite the rocky start and the LLM usage) and its great to see them beginning to "get it" so to speak. Would be nice if they were to start making their videos a little more Linux inclusive now, nothing big, just a nod to whether a device or software functions okay on Linux would be a great start!

When I read the #KDE #Plasma announcement that holding keys on the virtual keyboard gives you special characters I thought it made sense. But why the hell does this affect my normal physical keyboard? 😂
Anyway. Disabling virtual keyboards makes my physical keyboard work again 🤷🏻♂️

Nothing humbles you quite like installing an Arctic Liquid Freezer III on an MSI MEG Godlike. The clearance between that massive pump and the VRM heatsinks is measured in micrometers.
Also, friendly reminder to anyone using contact frames: ditch the microfiber cloths under the motherboard. Static discharge near the socket SMD capacitors is a silent killer. Use the factory anti-static foam pad.What’s the most stressful cooler installation you’ve ever survived?

So, I'm in need of some confirmation of how UEFI works. Apparently, I don't even need a bootloader, because my UEFI shell already has that capability to switch boot entries? So then, I'd I just need to create an /EFI/BOOT directory in the EFI system partition, (from what I see it's often mounted to /boot or /boot/efi in Linux) and make a directory for each entry, containing an .EFI executable, a kernel image (vmlinuz) and the initramfs?
If I'm not wrong so far, great. Now, how do EFI stubs work? If it's the kernel booting itself from UEFI, do I not need an .EFI executable? Do I just dump a stub-compatible vmlinuz kernel image in /EFI/BOOT ?

The solution that worked:
"security.pam.services.doas = {
u2fAuth = true;
}"
Adding this into your configuration file will ensure that doas uses u2f authentication... I'm dumb :neocat_cry_loud: -

Wow! I’ve been following @emilyyoung for years, and I’ve learned more about her in 20 minutes than the many hours I’ve spent watching her on #LinuxTechTips.
Perception is a wild thing: both of yourself and others.

E Ink monitors present an interesting value proposition for folks looking for a paper-like reading environment... as long as you don't are about super-slow screen refresh rates, ghosting, and limited colors. Here's a Dasung Paperlike 253 U first look video. https://buff.ly/3ZCrUpm #LinuxTechTips #DasungPaperLike253U #DasungPaperLike #EInkMonitor #EPaper

Ok I have to admit there are probably tons of tech "shows" or video magazines on the internet and one might argue about the good, the bad and the ugly. Not sure why but I sometimes watch "Linus Tech Tips".
I stumbled across a "behind the scene" video with iJustine which absolutely blew my mind to see what he has at his disposal. Absolutely sick and I am nerding out right now with split feelings about this.
In case you're interested, watch.
