MXX53 , in Longtime Linux Wireless Developer Passes Away

If a random reddit post is correct and he was 84 years old, I can only hope to have the same drive and mental ability at that age. RIP.

ghostface ,

I still say the elderly is ripe for development. Not having an issue sitting or standing for long periods of time. Plus the constant problem solving.

There should be a way to get seniors to work with and foss keystone foss projects.

Not to mention after they start its the monthly group meeting…

I could not get this to quote right so I used code, but look at the footer that is unfortunate.

If the is something better. I hope you are there.

Being used to tone tags, that /S signature felt so weird at first.

I’m struggling with what appears to be buggy wifi on an old Lenovo laptop… I spent a moment just looking at the logs and appreciating whoever has spent time and energy trying to get this working, probably reverse engineering without any support… I wonder if that was Larry…?

Use their forum…

universal-blue.discourse.group

lord_ryvan ,

On one hand I want to upvote you, because OP will really have a much better chance at getting good support there.

On the other hand I want to downvote you for just “forwarding their call” to another forum, instead of helping directly. (I’ve had bad experiences with unhelpful Linux communities where people basically just tried to find the quickest way to move someone out of their support channel)

I’ll keep it neutral, I guess.

Their forum is okay

lord_ryvan ,

I mesnt you just referring to another place to get help. But yeah, their forum really is a neat place for this

We have way too many uBlue questions here that are specific to their very opinionated distros.

General Fedora questions go to discussion.fedoraproject.org, general stuff can go here.

Unlix86 , in what commands can I use to benchmark my cpu?

I usually just use primesieve as cpu benchmark

cholesterol , in I was looking at the firefox flatpak on flathub. Won't this warning make a non tech-savy user anxious? This might make them think they'll get a virus or something like that.

What does ‘user device access’ mean?

Bitrot ,

Clicking the potentially unsafe item lists the exact permissions.

It can access hardware devices, like your webcam or game controller. Likely --device=all in flatpak speak but I haven’t looked.

sparkle ,

Maybe access to connected devices (e.g. your computer components or the phone you have plugged in to your computer)

NeoNachtwaechter , in how come a m4a file doesn't loop when I configure vlc to do exactly that? OS: Debian 12.5

Ghosts.

You’d better call the Ghostbusters.

possiblylinux127 ,

I love that this is the only comment

possiblylinux127 , in what commands can I use to benchmark my cpu?

I don’t get it. Why do you want a benchmark?

Ascend910 , in Longtime Linux Wireless Developer Passes Away

F for respect

bloodfart , in what commands can I use to benchmark my cpu?

Cat /proc/cpuinfo will tell you the bogomips.

If your old core processor is slow, open the laptop up, remove and clean the fan, remove the heatsink and clean it and the processor die with isopropyl alcohol and apply new thermal grease before you put it all back together.

If you have bad I/o with an ssd of some sort, do a spinrite level 2 scan of the drive. It reads and then rewrites all the blocks, which fixes the problem.

I used this exact model for years and idk what your expectation is but I found it to be right fast.

Don’t bother benchmarking a laptop unless you’ve cleaned the dust out, regreased the cpu and run a lvl2 scan on the ssd. All you’ll have is a number that tells you “yep, it’s slow.” And someone like me will say exactly what I just did.

zsh because I’ve been using it since college and I don’t like change

I hope I’m rocking that hard at 84.

My next non-alcohol bubbly drink will be in your honor, Larry.

lord_ryvan ,

non-alcohol bubbly drink

Sounds like a good step towards rocking hard at 84.
