So I have this external 2.5" drive salvaged from an old laptop of mine. I was trying to use it to backup/store data but the transfer to the drive fails repeatedly at the ~290GB mark leading me to believe that maybe there is a bad sector on the drive.

Hi, I was playing with rusty-rain when I decided that it was a good idea to make a custom FOSS effect. For this I made a change in “sibling” project ezemoji PR and with a small local change in rusty-rain I got it.

Just sharing this really well produced video on Linux’s public perception (since this channel has suprisingly not a lot of subscribers)

The beta versions of Lubuntu and Kubuntu 24.04 are out, showing that there’s room to improve on the standard Ubuntu formula. The beta announcements for Lubuntu 24.04 and Kubuntu 24.04 don’t reveal quite as much information as the Lubuntu’s alpha-test announcement did. The Reg FOSS desk looked at the two Qt-centric remixes,...

Whether you’re really passionate about RPC, MQTT, Matrix or wayland, tell us more about the protocols or open standards you have strong opinions on!
