    @finn is a solid choice for a desktop OS. It's been my daily driver since 2006.

    Its stability and flexibility are unmatched. Highly recommended.

          It's been roughly a year since I switched three production servers to btrfs from zfs. No issues at all, less ram consumption, slightly quicker performance on backups, and no dkms rebuilding shyze when major upgrades come out. Pretty awesome.

                              Mostly Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) ... but I am doing more with Devuan and derivatives like Vendefoul Wolf with LXQt.

                              As of right now, I am still most confident in LMDE for best "newbie Linux distro".

                              I should do a comparison video between the two so I can easily show people who are interested in Linux. Another thing I should do!

I was listening to on the drive home and the discussion was on , specifically on how the titans like , , , and have quietly stepped away from mechanisms as their models improve, the implications, and . While the quiet distancing from safety is of obvious concern, the discussion on regulation caught my attention.

                                                                                            As one host put it (paraphrasing here) you'd think these companies don't want regulation but that's not necessarily the case. They are looking for regulation that favors them, whether it's getting in bed with the government or squashing out the competition. The bottom line is still about maximizing profits.

                                                                                            The last part was some interesting food for thought and it makes sense. If correct, it's some good indication of where they (and we) are headed.

                                                                                            On the flip side, and these still make mistakes that, unless you have at least *some* previously acquired knowledge on said topic, are believable.

The 1.38.0 upload enabled the lsblk applet and (to my surprise) the "copy_exec" function will not overwrite the destination file if it already exists. Since busybox lsblk does not support any command line flags, my initramfs scripts which expected lsblk from util-linux failed in funny and non-obvious ways. Time to make these scripts more robust. :)

There's lots of boot level "security". I am too annoyed to comment fairly, but considering that step one was to wipe all data, the words "security theater" come to mind for all of the crap that followed.

It is called unstable but for desktop use it is stable enough. However for servers I usually use stable and install some packages from backports based on need. I never give serious use though, too many daily use packages are from which seems a bit too much trust on the wide.

                                                                                                                                                  I decided to see whether any modern or database actually had any settings anywhere for switching dot matrix printers between near-letter, draft, and letter quality modes.

                                                                                                                                                  , , , and all use the Dickey terminfo.src. is the only one maintaining a different database. It is still maintaining the old BSD termcap file, in 2026.

                                                                                                                                                  Neither of the databases have sdrfq/snlq/snrmq or ZG/ZL/ZK capabilities in any record.

                                                                                                                                                  This stuff exists solely as words on a manual page (and reprints of the same in various books) and a single Usenet post by Oliver Okrongli in 1994. It's not even in the O'Reilly termcap+terminfo book.

                                                                                                                                                  We should prune such stuff that apparently has never really existed.

Cela fait des années que j'ai quitté les réseaux sociaux, écœuré par les propos qui y sont mis en avant par les algorithmes, mais il parait qu'ici, c'est bien différent... alors explorons.

                                                                                                                                                        Ah oui, il faut aussi une #introduction :

                                                                                                                                                        Je suis informaticien dans une grosse boite (peu importe laquelle), certaines choses m'y exaspèrent et je fuis autant que possible les solutions proposées par les GAFAM. A titre perso, j'utilise un PC sous #Debian #XFCE

                                                                                                                                                        Je m'intéresse aussi aux solutions #lowtech avec pragmatisme. Exemple : j'aurais pu installer une instance fediverse et un blog sur une machine faible conso ou un portable de récup, il me semble plus intelligent d'utiliser un service existant qui consomme déjà peu. merci Adële <3

In it, I discover that maintenance is a collective socio-technical process that extends far beyond , into the broader ecosystem of free software and the global digital infrastructure. It teaches us a different way of thinking about changes and updates to computer systems—one that is centered on the people affected by them.

Also, Fedora lets you re-attempt the LUKS password more times before pooping you into an inscrutable (for newbies) grub recovery mode.

                                                                                                                                                                    That may sound incredibly trivial to an old neckbeard like myself, but it's a huge difference for newbies.

I'm not in love with Nix as a distro, but massive props to @codemonkeymike for all of his efforts, in both creating that OS spin, and in serving his community by providing free laptops rescued from e-waste. That's honestly heroic shiz, may-un. ;)

                                                                                                                                                                                Are there any specific concerns with using Silicon? Am I restricted in the distros and available packages?

                                                                                                                                                                                I like the price point of the Apple Neo, and the fact that it comes loaded with creative tools, which I use heavily. For example, I have yet to find a tool for Linux, comparable to . Also, Apple devices are elegant in and rugged in construction.

                                                                                                                                                                                Am I better off buying a generic laptop instead? Recommendations are welcome!

I'd like the group to be set automatically to `common` whether I write the file or someone else does, so I think using `chmod -R 2775` would achieve that. Is there a way I can similarly automatically set the ownership to `root`? Or do I manually have to do that each time I add new files/directories?

I have a Macbook A1534 that is a nifty little accessory. It's amazing how peppy and useful it is, like 11 years old (now that it's running ).

                                                                                                                                                                                                    Anyways, the space bar on the keyboard is borked. It works about half the time. My best description is that it's not springing back up to the right high point when I press it. It kinda goes down and stays down. If I press fairly hard, it registers a space. With an external keyboard and mouse, this thing is great. Works perfectly. But with the space bar being wonky, it's hard to use on its own. Here's some photos. Anyone have tips on what I might do to repair/fix it?

                                                                                                                                                                                                    I took it to a UBreakIFix place and (a) they say fixing it requires replacing the whole top plate, not just the keyboard, and (b) they can't get those any more. I would much rather fix the space bar than try to do open-heart surgery on a glued-together macbook.
