Not sure if this is the right place to ask or if anyone can help me, but today, I installed the ubuntu ISO & converted it to a bootable format on an 128GB SD card (All my USBs are too small) I ran the installer as normal & here’s where I think I messed up. I allocated a 27GB partition for linux but that option didnt apper on...

I have tried Linux as a DD on and off for years but about a year ago I decided to commit to it no matter the cost. First with Mint, then Ubuntu and a few others sprinkled in briefly. Both are “mainstream” “beginner friendly” distros, right? I don’t want anything too advanced, right?...

I’m not tech savvy and have noticed that many streaming sites are .ru, and as someone located in Finland, I want to make sure if they are dangerous to use.

Hello guys! sometimes I watch movies with friends over jitsi meet, and in order to share just a single window with just its own audio I use chromium, that has the “share tab” option. However, I’d like a more general solution (I cannot play mkv files on browser, for example). I’d like a compact way that creates a virtual...

I know this post will probably be downvoted to hell, give me much problems and probably will make my account being banned but you have to know that i take no side writing this....

the way i understand it hibernating an OS dumps ram to a file and powers off, so could it be possible to run two OSs “simultaneously” by alternating between hibernations?

Mom’s lentils with rice and bacon are bomb. Even if you usually don’t like that stuff the way she prepares them… you would love them....

When w11 announced that they were adding native support for rar, 7z, etc, it occurred to me that android also doesn’t support these and I found it really weird

I just learned that Nmap is almost GPL except that they revoked the license specifically for SCO group for their SCO–Linux disputes....

So some months ago I watched a trailer for an upcoming game that looks pretty neat, but of course I can’t remember the name for the life of me. Maybe y’all can help me. I don’t think it’s been released yet....

Hello! Sorry maybe for this beginners-question: do I need dedicated anti-virus / anti-malware software for my Linux System?...

I want a centralized way to manage keys and secrets. And some service users with little privileges over a subset of the secrets. Ideally, a service user only should be able to read its own subset of secrets. So, let’s say, if a container gets pwned it will only read its secrets and no more. It should be FOSS and self-hostable....

I’m old-naughties internet café crew from around the era of the original Counter Strike through CoD MWF3 and Battlefield 2042. I wouldn’t mind reliving the nostalgia of that era, and have more than enough machine to do it now. I have zero tolerance for micro transactions, gatekeeping, or software as a service business...

Figured I would hopefully save others from the annoyances I’ve had with their service. I experienced daily high packet loss to both my VPS and their website, including the control panel (greater than 50%, typically). The control panel was broken and couldn’t tell me the status of my VPS. When I asked for a root cause and fix...

Fuckin hate reddit? Lemmy ain’t working out for you either?...

Do background checks to verify potential employees rely on profiles data brokers have compiled on them? Or do background checks rely on more direct means?

Well after 10 years I just got banned by ADAfruit indefinitely for not shipping to my home address. I don’t know wtf that was about. I think they banned both addresses so I screwed my friend over. Anyone know of any other alternative sites?

Hello, I came across zram recently and I’d like to know if I should use it, my laptop only has ~4GB of ram, and for the most part it’ll only stutter when I open multiple programs or a game, so would zram be adequate in my case?...

So I’ve made a clean install of Debian 12 when it came out and have been using only it exclusively for this time. But I had Windows 10 on dual boot already since when I was using Debian 11, I just never booted on Windows until now....
