febra , in Those who custom configure their kernel: what did you gain?

Better access to tools like ebpf and xdp.

possiblylinux127 , (edited ) in Nick @ The Linux Experiment (@[email protected])

I think Linux is underrated in terms of a hypervisor. You can have a bunch of different systems in VMs with virtual manager or gnome boxes

I wish he would do a video on basic virtualization

0x0 , in Those who custom configure their kernel: what did you gain?

A kernel that fits my hardware and supports things the original kernel doesn’t. Then again, i use gentoo.

cyclohexane OP ,

What did the original kernel not support?

0x0 ,

Having / on ZFS, but that went into an initrd i think… don’t remember, but not hardware related.

Linux Mint in late 2021. Now, in 2024, I am on NixOS.

Why is the preview for this an ad for ublock?

Incidentally:

  • which models are the best new old?
  • what are the best places to get them?

…asking for a friend.

Loucypher OP ,

Old MacBook Airs make great Linux machines. EBay is a good place to look for them

I’ll cast a vote for checking the local Facebook marketplace or craigslist for a deal on a good laser printer.

emb , in gotta get a new printer

Had to get a new one recently too. I’ve had good experiences w/ Brother in the past too, but couldn’t find one that quite fit the bill. Needed color and for it to be able to handle cardstock.

Ended up getting an Epson, one that’s in the eco tank line. Has been great so far. Works just fine out of the box on Linux (LTS Ubuntu, anyway)

And I meant to say, most helpful resource for me was the website rtings. Most review and best of lists I can find by searching are so spammy, it’s hard to get any signal. But at least that one let’s me filter a table of printers by features. I just don’t know how many they’re missing.

Your distro should havê a security mailing list you van subscribe to

JustineSmithies , (edited ) in Change the panning keybind in Zathura
@JustineSmithies@lemmy.world avatar

Have a read of the docs at the zathura git repo or use the man pages.

github.com/pwmt/zathura/blob/develop/…/map.rst

TMP_NKcYUEoM7kXg4qYe OP ,

Well that’s why I’m asking here. You can “map <Mouse1> some_function” but there is no “pan” function. Mapping <Mouse1> to scroll (down) does not enable panning by dragging while holding down the button but just in moving the page one step down.

So it seems to me that it either requires multiple lines in the config or it isn’t supported at all. I wanted to ask here first before bothering the devs on github.

hperrin , (edited ) in Good NAS Software for a Bad PC?

If you’d like a WebDAV server, I wrote one called Nephele that has a really small memory footprint. With a 4GB budget, you can run in cluster mode with probably 4 or 5 instances and not affect any of your other services.

If you install the NPM version, you can also authenticate with system users, so you can use it to manage the files in your home directory. (You could also do that with the Docker version, but only for one user.)

gravitas_deficiency , in DistroWatch has been banned in Turkey

Let me guess: “piracy” or “national security”

ElectroLisa , in Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you?
@ElectroLisa@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Ye, since Plasma 5.24 I think. Used to occasionally switch to X11 for competitive gaming, but as of Plasma 6 their Wayland compositor supports fullscreen tearing, so now I have no need to use X11 anymore

I’ve got a Canon TS642A that’s serving us well here. My Brother was giving me problems, mostly in wireless connectivity so we replaced it with this, which was I think the second cheapest Canon we could find, and we’ve only replaced the cartridges I think once in the last year, though we don’t use it all that much. On Linux, I don’t think it even needs drivers, its… Postscript I think? Setting up the wireless was a bit tricky, but once up and running, it’s been rock solid.

WILSOOON OP ,

itll mostly just be hooked up to one desktop tower, so connectivity wont be too much of an issue, altough 66 bucks for it is quite the attractive price. but it does make me a bit suspicious if they are doing the same trick as HP. selling printers for almost really low and ink stupidly high. the no drivers thing is incredibly nice tough.

MrPhibb ,
@MrPhibb@reddthat.com avatar

It was around $60 for a full set of ink (colour and black and white) when we grabbed some a month or so ago, so about average I think.

giloronfoo , in How do you track security vulnerabilities?

I’m subscribed to bugalert.org RSS feeds, but it seems they haven’t had any activity since October last year.

Does anyone know what happened to them?
