A “best dad” mug, but you cross out the “best”/

probably? I feel like it would make more sense to ask someone else if I was nice (assuming you want an accurate response), given I might be a little biased.

Working there is apparently pretty nice. Microsoft on the inside is not Microsoft on the outside.

But regardless, terrible company with terrible products. Even if they didn’t do anything shady, they still aren’t great.

irssi. the plugin stuff is nice, terminal is better than GUI, and when themed it doesn’t look terrible

Hannah Montana Linux is probably the most popular Linux distro.

In all seriousness, popularity isn’t necessarily the best metric for what you should run on your computer. Ubuntu might be fairly popular, but it also isn’t particularly good.

i2p. It’s sorta like Tor, but the way that every user is a node provides some advantages over Tor.

It would be pretty neat if they did like zsh does, where it asks you if you mean a certain command when you only type it partially.

JUST TODAY I was going to buy WinRar. I've used the software forever, for free, and I just thought... I appreciate this, they've never given me grief, and I'm going to pay them.

And I went on their page to subscribe for a lifetime membership, and they wanted 20 bucks, which I was okay with, but it does not include Major Updates! I guess I’ll buy it and just click the do not check for updates button but that seemed kind of, I don’t know....

your favorite homelab applications

Hi, just recently it’s foss had an article about homelabs. Of course I digged in, since there is a small nuc working tirelessly in the corner of my routers closet. So far it just crawls some web pages for me and sends emails accordingly to my filters. So I hoped to find new exciting stuff to let it crunch through. The articles...

I’m a big fan of Nebula. It’s sorta like Tailscale, but not quite.

I PXE boot my desktop.

oscardejarjayes ,
@oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net avatar

It’s a bit of a weird setup, and not at all practical. I build “golden images” with archiso, the image gets sent over, then local disks are auto-mounted. The local disks have my ~/home, so all my configs, flatpaks, games, etc. stay consistent.

I use PXE for my servers, so I figured “why not?”. I don’t do too much on it besides videogames, I do most real stuff on laptops. This “setup” probably isn’t going to stay around forever.

Are there any CPUs that work well with Linux that aren't made by Intel or another company on the BDS list/that supports Israel?

I have a Ryzen 3 1300X at the moment and it’s always had this soft lock freezing bug on Linux. I used to dual-boot Windows on this machine and Windows never had the same problem, so I think it is an issue with the Linux kernel (I’ve also replaced nearly every bit of hardware that I originally built the PC with, except for...

I’ve never had any issues with Ryzen, but I never had first gen. If you don’t want Ryzen, and Intel is unethical, maybe you could try a Epyc /s?

Buying used Intel stuff might also be an option. No more money would go to Intel, and using used stuff is good on the e-waste front.

Most of lemmy (lemmygrad, hexbear, lemmy, feddit, etc) has pretty decent Codes of Conduct, though? Take a look at the modlog, plenty of bans for trolling, transphobia, spam, unreliable sources, and more.

Please recommend me some blogs about Linux or FOSS or similar that you follow through RSS.

Hi. I have a category Little Tech Blogs in my rss reader where I put those cool niche blogs mostly about Linux, FOSS, programming, etc… Many of them I found by articles linked in this community, so I was wondering if you guys know about more blogs like that. By little I mean it’s run by one person or a small group of people,...

Maybe on a messaging platform with IRL people, but never on somewhere like Lemmy. If anything, I really enjoy seeing that number go up! 59 unreads right now (I never check the box, the only way they go is replies).

You’ll sometimes see aviation terms for the little fighters that launch from the larger ships, like in macross. I think it’s a matter of scale, really. An airplane will usually have single digit crew, maybe double digit. A warship will have hundreds, and the bigger the ship the more the crew.

The prolific posting alone couldn’t be one person with other activities in their life like eating food or sleeping.

Over the course of 4 years, they’ve posted 5.6k times (comments and posts). That’s less than 4 posts per day (5.6k/1500). Especially with posts like this, where it’s just a link and a title, that’s a totally reasonable time commitment. That’s like an hour tops of posting, probably a lot less because, no offense yogthos, it’s mostly not effort posts.

i’ve been saying this for years, ubuntu = bad. Use literally anything else (except Windows lol), no other major distro comes with Snap pre-installed.

You could use waypipe with wayland. There’s also a RemoteDesktop xdg-portal, but it’s implementation is a bit spotty

Last year I had ~370 contributions on Github, and some unknown number on other platforms (email, gitlab, project specific gitlab instance, etc.). I’ve very sadly dropped off as of late.

hyprland is definitely going to be my next compositor

I tried, I really did

I’ve been an IT professional for 20 years now, but I’ve mainly dealt with Windows. I’ve worked with Linux servers through out the years, but never had Linux as a daily driver. And I decided it was time to change. I only had 2 requirements. One, I need to be able to use my Nvidia 3080 ti for local LLM and I need to be able...

damn, that sucks. I’ve installed Linux on 10 personal computers so far, from phones to servers, and I actually haven’t had too many issues. Then again, I’ve never needed RDP and the only computers with NVIDIA graphics are the servers, which are headless.

New to Linux? Ubuntu Isn’t Your Only Option (www.howtogeek.com)

Ubuntu’s popularity often makes it the default choice for new Linux users. But there are tons of other Linux operating systems that deserve your attention. As such, I’ve highlighted some Ubuntu alternatives so you can choose based on your needs and requirements—because conformity is boring.

Is anyone else worried about the apple vision pro?

i wouldn’t normally be concerned since any company releasing a VR product with this price tag is obviously going to fail… but it’s apple and somehow through exquisite branding and sleek design they have managed to create something that resonated with “tech reviewers” and rich folk who can afford it....

I think VRChat is a pretty good counterargument to “nobody wants to watch movies in VR”. I myself don’t use VR or VRChat, but according to friends that do worlds with films are extremely popular. Maybe you think that’s a niche situation, but nobody I’ve known that’s tried it (more than a few people) has disliked it and all of them could just as easily watched it on a monitor. There are already thousands of people who sleep in VRChat, talk in VRChat, and play in VRChat. I actually know a really surprising amount of people that will sleep in virtual spaces, whether that be VRChat or just being in a Discord call.

[ADVICE] Tips on creating a small website just to host links to pirated content I've translated (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I want to build a “pirate portfolio” of all my personal fan works. There’s manga, anime, documentaries, book chapters, all sorts of things I’ve translated myself from Russian and English. Mostly Japanese, British and modern Russian content. No USA....

You could use a static site generator (like Hugo or Zola), then you could stick the site wherever you want, from GitHub pages to local website hosters. Another interesting option would be putting it on Tor or i2p. You can setup those programs to host your website on your computer easily.

So men like all of the bad programming languages, while boys are really into emojis (not a huge fan, unless they’re custom). It appears that whole gender is thoroughly cringe, and they should all choose a better gender.
