# "Using LibreOffice and other Free software for documents as a lawyer"

I was asked recently about how I get on using LibreOffice for document-related legal work, and I promised to write down some thoughts.

The short answer is that I use a mix of LibreOffice and other FOSS tools, and I’m very positive about it, with no particular concerns.

If you have questions, please do ask!

If you use an old laptop as a server: Do you need to manage its battery in a certain way ?

This battery can be verry usefull when the electricity is shut down. But if it is always charged at 100%, does the capacity of the battery will decrease ?

If yes for the two questions: Do you know a libre software on linux to do it ?

Bonus questions: Is it possible, in linux, to run command(s) when the battery is bellow a percentage ?

I'm now convinced immutable/atomic distros do not remove ability to tinker. They just make it safer: Overlay your changes on top of the base. Something goes wrong, remove the overlay, try again!

Linux has no fstat(1) command? How do #Linux admins access that information? Just reach straight for lsof? #sysadmin

[ETA: yes, lsof. Why use a scalpel when you have a chainsaw? Okay, fine, whatever, moving on...]

@kinnison @ifixcoinops I think you miss Dan's point. We're #Linux's current demographics, but he's talking about the demographics we want to reach (because we want to... right?). We can surely find the terminal if we need to, and most probably a) don't even close it; and b) can launch it with a keyboard combination.

I don't think I will be installing to friends and family the exactly same geek centered system I use. TBH, if I had to do it today, I'm not even sure what I would use.

Day 2: moves

#Vim offers many effective ways to move around in your files.

Beyond the common ones, 0,$, gg, G, there are also some I use quite often:

`. That's backstick and the dot. It will move to the last exact place where you edited your files.

Or '. The quote and the dot does the same but it goes at the start of the last edited line.

Of course, I love also { and } for paragraphs, and many others !

Mon Toshiba sous Windows 7 ne peut pas booter sur une clé USB, puisqu'il ne détecte pas les clés (elles ne s'allument pas) tant qu'il n'a pas lancé windows.

Hello, decided to log back into Mastodon as the bus to my town seems to have stopped a minute away from here for 20 minutes now. I have a few status updates regarding my tech adventures to share.

Firstly, I installed postmarketOS on a Samsung Galaxy S9 a few months ago, and with it, I moved to Alpine Linux on my laptop and desktop. The experience has been wonderful, but bumpy. It works really well on my laptop, but my desktop has faced some issues which I am happy to post on their mailing list once I am back home.

I also installed Arch Linux alongside my Alpine Linux installation as a redundant backup option in case one ends up broken by an update, or a mistake of my own. This has proven handy twice now, the second time ending up with my main system still under maintenance as of today. I also have a reserve Linux Mint USB, if it gets really bad, but I remain hopeful that it won't get that bad. Just for assurance, my ego has not inflated after installing it.

I still love using OpenBSD and FreeBSD when I can, but I deemed it more logical to use the operating system based off the kernel I want to develop for in the future. I plan on using OpenBSD on systems that I find to be not essential to use all the time, such as my brothers desktop, but I'm kind of bringing myself to use Alpine Linux on my daily drivers.

Sorry for disappearing for a while, this is a new phone which I forgot to install Mastodon on. My old phone drowned after my water bottle leaked during a walk, which meant I had to start over from scratch. I'm still addicted to Pixel phones however. Thanks for making a great operating system, #grapheneos team.

The Debian #Linux project plans to introduce hard dependencies on the Rust lnag into core components, specifically the APT package manager, starting no earlier than May 2026. The developer strongly urges maintainers of Debian ports for different architectures to ensure they have a working Rust toolchain within the next six months. In sort, Rust lang (toolchain) becoming a mandatory component of Debian's core infrastructure.

To everyone who says ‘install Linux’ as a solution to Windows problems (or ‘install LibreOffice’ as a solution to MS Office problems), imagine how you would react if you posted about Linux problems and all of the responses were ‘install Haiku’. Would it work? Maybe, but the person saying it has no idea what you do on Linux, whether the apps that you use run on Haiku (or have alternatives that you could switch to). Neither of you have a clear understanding of how much time and effort the switch would take, or what the network effects are that make switching hard.

If you have actually engaged with them, understood their requirements fully, and have a migration path outlined for them, great. If you’re just being a dick, think about how that makes people perceive Linux users: Maybe that isn’t a great way of driving adoption.

#Linux people of the internet, I am going to be moving from #LinuxMint to #Fedora, and I have a arguably simple question about file systems.

Which is better? btrfs or ext4? I know fedora's installer has both but I am just curious as which one is better/more recommended over the other.

Does anyone here has experience with #slimbook #linux notebooks?
In particular I would want to run #popos on my notebook.
I once installed popos on a huawei notebook and ran into two problems: Hibernation did not really work and in sleep the battery drained like crazy and with the encryption of popos it sometimes didn’t boot anymore because it could not find a bootable drive. Without encryption it worked.

Yesterday I completed the migration from Authentik to Pocket ID on all of my homelab services!
I also included Tinyauth to link OIDC to a service without a login page.

Today, there was a part of me that silently made me think that get rid of my secondary domain and buying a new one was a good idea.

So here I am. Melting on the sofa after 10 hours of Ansible, OIDC clients, creating users, tweaking config files, VPN, Jenkins security and jobs configurations, plus your regular system administration.

Copying 20yr old backups onto the RiscPC via vsftpd running on Slackware AArch64 (HoneyComb LX2). Just another step toward getting the StrongARM RiscPC running Slackware again!

I definitely forgot how slow half-duplex 10Mbit Ethernet is:
~250 KB/sec feels like time travel 🐢💾
Fortunately I had a 100Mbit hub stashed in the loft, because the RiscPC's NIC wouldn't negotiate on the Gbit switch.

At this rate I might it might be finished for next week!

So, the first test of updating something on my now permanently offline recording studio PC (Win10) came up, and you know what? It was no aggro at all. Must have taken less than two of your earth minutes to plug/unplug/plug/unplug/plug the USB stick between the Win10 PC and the (safe online cuz it's Mint!) everyday laptop, to activate the new (V9) Moddart Pianoteq. Oh, I had to copy/paste something! Such a chore!! 😎

@sternecker Actually, yes! When Debian 13 came out a few months ago, I grabbed myself a complete set of amd64 binary and source code DVD images. (That's a total of 49 x 4.7GB DVD images, plus a few ancillary ones. All of them cryptographically verified and confirmed matching the release version hashes and signatures.) It wouldn't be completely up to date, and it wouldn't be quite as convenient, but it would give me a very workable starting point.

I'm running some tests on my old and trusted Raspberry Pi A+.
I've installed Raspbian - latest release, lite version. At the prompt, it's using 92 MB of RAM, mainly due to systemd and NetworkManager. As soon as you use it (even just for apt), it starts swapping and becomes almost unusable. It took 5 minutes just to install Python.

I tried NetBSD (on the same memory card): 35 MB of RAM used (including Postfix!) and it's totally usable.

When someone toots about problems, or otherwise, in #Windows, unless you have something constructive to add, shut the fsck up about "just install Linux".

It makes you look like a dickhead, doesn't solve the problem, and probably gets you blocked. Not everyone has the ability or need to install #Linux. Regardless of how much better it is.

In classic package manger based #Linux distributions, it is possible to mirror (possibly local) the package repository. Is that possible with with #flatpak and #flathub too?

@jakesmolka apt-based systems (basically Debian and everything Debian-based, including Ubuntu, Mint and several other major distributions) definitely let you run a local package mirror if you want. I think for something like Debian it's fairly large (like a few hundred gigabytes per architecture) and it's a bit of work to get set up, but definitely doable.

Look at apt-mirror.

I've steadfastly resisted doing this since I hate to do #Linux sysadmin work on my server and don't want to do it on anything else. But Windows has gotten ridiculous and Macs Just Don't Work.

Assuming I want to do this:

1) which distro is the least work?

2) what hardware should I get? I started with Macs in the first place because of zero fan noise so that's #1

3) what cell phone(s) should I get?

Puisqu'on parle Linux, j'ai une question
J'ai actuellement un Mint 21.3, avec support jusqu'en 2027. Il existe un Mint 22.X avec support jusqu'en 2029, mais le 23.X doit sortir en 2026.
D'où ma question : est-ce qu'il vaut mieux mettre à jour maintenant en 22.X ou attendre le 23 ? Corollaire : Est-ce que le 23 pourra s'installer sur un 21 ou faudra-t'il de toutes façons passer en intermédiaire par un 22 ?

Think NetBSD is just some spooky, complicated thing for old-school hackers? Nah.
But all that legendary portability and rock-solid reliability? That doesn't happen by magic.
Every stable update, cool new feature, and wild new platform it supports (yes, even your toaster) comes from the hard work of the NetBSD community. And honestly, they're powered by support from people just like you.
When you donate to the NetBSD Foundation, you're directly helping to:
Keep NetBSD's code clean, secure, and ready for whatever's next.
Supercharge the build systems and infrastructure that our devs live on.
Cook up more docs, guides, and resources for new users and seasoned pros.
Make sure "Of course it runs NetBSD" stays a free-for-everyone reality.
Your contribution is what keeps NetBSD stable, modern, and running on (almost) everything. Pitch in to support the work that keeps #NetBSD awesome!

Google Docs has a handy “Copy as Markdown” feature where you can paste rich text and then copy it out as (at least mostly reasonably-formatted) markdown. This is handy for quick and dirty conversion of a web page’s content, e.g. to quote in a blog post.

Is there some native app on Flathub I can use to do something similar? The perfect scenario would be just pasting rich text into a text field and it immediately converts it and spits out the Markdown into the text box.

Good morning Fedi friends! 🌈✨

Made it back to France and now I’m at my in laws’.

I forgot a wired keyboard at my parents’ in Italy and I only have a wireless keyboard and mouse with me, which were never paired to my Raspi. Mother-in-law came to my rescue and gave me an old wired mouse… and with #Ubuntu’s accessibility setting and on screen keyboard I was able to log in and connect my gear. Ouf!

Happy #Linux / #Raspi week to me (till I get home to Paris) 🐧

Now I had some powerful epiphanies yesterday, with my rickety Sharkey instance.

Sad to say that because it locked me out, and recovery codes aren’t working either, its fate is now sealed. I lost all trust in it and won’t spend any more precious time on it.

But this ONLY relates to my self-hosted Sharkey, which has been cursed from the start, not the software itself, which is WONDERFUL.

I’ll stop putting my energy on it and carry on with my plan (a quiet corner of the Fediverse) on @ruud’s calckey.world — which worked perfectly for me last year, when I was test driving Sharkey. Time to resurrect the account and set up monthly recurring donations.

@mkj @privateger This is all super helpful. Thanks!

At the end of the day, I have these 2 #ZFS raidz6 pools that are spinning rust. I have a SAS SSD that I can use to help speed up. I thought using it as a SLOG would help, but that doesn't sound like it will.

So can it help improve performance? (a) what role do I give it? and (b) is there a way to use the same drive to do this for both pools, or will that just create an I/O bottleneck that defeats the purpose?

So … while this is obviously nice for virtualized gaming, what about video decode/encode acceleration?

Is there a way to give a #Linux guest access to the host #GPU's video codec acceleration without GPU passthrough?

Just like it's possible to pass /dev/dri into a container, can I do a similar thing with a #QEMU / #KVM virtual machine?

@juergen_hubert Debian is a good choice for a Linux distribution IMO, and having support near at hand from people you already know is invaluable.

For Google Drive, I haven't tried that myself but rclone supposedly supports it, which will let you mount that storage at some arbitrary local path. https://rclone.org/drive/ (It also supports Nextcloud via WebDAV, so you can use it to transfer your files from one to the other in one go, relatively painlessly.)

#Linux

I've come to the conclusion that, while I am still using #Windows 11 out of inertia, it's time to contemplate an exit plan towards #Linux . The switch won't be any time soon (I have too much other stuff on my plate for the foreseeable future), but I do want to avoid paying further license fees to #Microsoft .

Major areas of concern:

- My #Steam library. I am by no means a heavy gamer, but I want to check if the major games I enjoy are known to work on Linux.
- Migrating away from #GoogleDrive towards #NextCloud is going to be a major chore, but it's something I can start in advance.
- I am a very heavy user of Notepad++ for my #TeXLaTeX typesetting, so I need a replacement whose user experience comes close (and no, neither vim nor emacs count).

As for what distribution to choose... I dunno. Lots of people at my place of work use #Debian , so maybe that would be a good idea?

"Linux has also been ported to itself. You can now run the kernel as a userspace application - this is called UserMode Linux (UML)."

"Today, we’ll explore how you can start an unconventional VM by running a Linux kernel as a process within the Linux kernel itself. This approach doesn’t require installing virtualization software like QEMU, nor does it need root privileges, which opens up some intriguing possibilities."

Any #ZFS folks want to offer me an opinion on the following? I have 2 ZFS pool of raidz2 with 7 2TB SAS drives each (about 11.5T). I want to add a LOG drive. I have a single SAS SSD that's 300G. When I suggested using a 1TB LOG drive earlier, someone said that was way too much. (which is why I picked up a used 300G SSD)

My question is whether it makes sense (is possible) to partition that drive into 2 partitions and have one pool use 1 partition as a log drive (e.g., 150G) and the other pool use the other partition as a log drive on the same physical device.

Is this going to be worse because it's just too much IO on one device? Is it reasonable? Any other ideas?

Thanks

Did a "dnf distro-sync" and a complete SELinux relabel today (running my system in enforcing mode) just to ensure, everything is clean.

Amazing release. I tip my fedora for all the people at @fedora

I'm trying out Bazzite on my older laptop.

HP OMEN 15-ax252nr
Intel i7-7700HQ (2.80 GHz)
NVIDIA GP107M GeForce GTX 1050i Mobile

I installed an NVMe SDD a while back so the hard disk isn't a limitation.

It took two tries to get it installed. I went with KDE for a more Steam Deck like experience.

I'm having some issues.

I can't figure out how to add custom repositories due to the read only / filesystem.

Why would I need to do this?

I use https://www.insynchq.com/ to sync with OneDrive. It's how I keep Obsidian synced across devices. It's also where I keep my password safe that I load into KeepassXC for use with LibreWolf and that doesn't work with FlatPak installs.

I either need custom repos or a simple way for cross-FlatPak communication.

Docker introduces experimental nftables support in version 29.0.0. It means that Docker is starting to use the more modern nftables framework in the Linux kernel for managing container network rules, moving away from the older iptables system and you may gain some improved performance and flexibility with simplified rule syntax.

From my "crushingly dull obligatory tech history" in BSD Cafe wiki:

❮ Former Mac user (1992–2014; AppleSeed programme member 2009–2014). The GUI of OS X 10.10 Yosemite drove me away from Apple. I gradually switched from OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks to PC-BSD. Then TrueOS, then FreeBSD-CURRENT. In the midst of all that, something with FreeBSD in September 2012 … probably toying with 9.0 on a PowerPC iMac with failing graphics hardware. Not because I was a glutton for punishment (like, the horror of a command-line loader, and the certainty that hardware was failing) – because there was nothing good to be done with the Mac, and I was curious about non-Apple alternatives to Microsoft Windows.

Essentially: KDE Plasma on FreeBSD-CURRENT from around 2015 until 2025 … ❯
