Das dürfte eine interessante Erfahrung werden ...

Gerät mit #Lubuntu, ohne
Wlan, in Empfang genommen.
Mein Geld habe ich auch
ausgezahlt bekommen....
das Gerät ist "zu alt" ! #Linux.

Habe es zuhause übers Smart
ans Wlan angedockt, und versuche
so einige Updates zu laden.

Bin schwer enttäuscht.

Is it weird to have 2 favorite #Linux desktop environments?

I discovered that GNOME on my laptop is nothing short of an amazing Zen. On my desktop with a secondary monitor to the left of the main one, it feels very much less than ideal, but the different layout and interaction model that Cinnamon has the same no-thought-needed interaction.

Also Debian requires more work for gaming than Mint, but they're both equally amazing for different reasons.

my laptop starts regreet (w/ cage as compositor) right after booting, which then logs me into a #niri session (executing `niri-session`, which eventually runs niri via systemd iiuc). after logging in there's a black screen, what looks like a lot of env vars dumped into tty. this takes ~10s, and it's just lots of text that scrolls by too fast for me too read. only after several seconds like this do i get a graphical session. when i used `gdm` instead of regreet / #greetd, i didn't see this and niri started way more quickly. any idea what i'm seeing there, and what `gdm` did that my current setup doesn't? #linux

@lotti Keine Ahnung wie alt dein Gerät ist? Ich habe letztes Jahr einen alten Rechner entsorgt, weil er leider auch für #Linux zu alt war. Gut, als einfache Schreibmaschine und zum Mails abrufen wäre er noch gegangen, Aber größer Office-Dokumente waren schon nicht mehr so schön zu bearbeiten. Was aber bei 2 GB Arbeitsspeicher und noch viel schwächerer Grafikkarte, nicht wirklich verwunderlich ist.

#TIL I learned you can configure network settings on #MacOS using the command line.

While there aren't network configuration files like you would find on #Linux distros and #FreeBSD, there are *a ton* of commands and they are scriptable.

Sweet!

🌘 我的家庭伺服器的死亡與重生
➤ 從系統崩潰中學到的硬體耐用性與架構最佳化之道
✤ https://sgt.hootr.club/blog/home-server-rebirth/
作者經歷了家庭伺服器（Raspberry Pi 4B）的徹底崩潰，起因於一次無預警停電導致 microSD 卡毀損。這場意外促使作者重新審視伺服器的穩定性與壽命問題。為了避免重蹈覆轍，作者在重建系統時，採取了多項針對性優化：包括啟用 zram 作為壓縮交換空間以減少磁碟寫入、將暫存檔目錄遷移至記憶體，以及移除檔案存取時間（atime）的寫入記錄。此外，作者利用閒置的舊硬碟，透過 Btrfs 的 RAID1 模式建構了高彈性的儲存池，並利用 NixOS 的自動化能力對各個服務進行磁碟管理。這次修復不僅讓服務重獲新生，更讓系統架構變得比以往更加強健。
+ 這篇經驗談對 NixOS 用戶來說非常實用，特別是在保護 SD 卡方面，zram 的設定真的很關鍵。
+ 將舊硬碟組成 Btrfs RAID1 池是一個很棒的再利用方案，這就是家庭伺服器的浪漫之處！

True digital sovereignty isn't about choosing open source — it's about
deliberate architectural agency and #USTechAvoidance.

Systematically moving away from US-centric corporate infrastructure, proprietary software, and the monoculture of their technical standards.

My current path:
-> OS: Evaluating European-backed distributions (#openSUSE, #VoidLinux) to keep control over local endpoints and reject corporate-driven architectural monopolies.

-> Infrastructure: Self-hosted services (#Nextcloud, #Forgejo, #Metabase) shifting to EU-based VPS providers — physical data residency under GDPR, outside US CLOUD Act jurisdiction.

-> Local AI: Optional stack — running open-weights models offline. Not because AI is the enemy (I agree with Torvalds: "Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects"), but because sovereignty means YOU decide where your data is processed. AI judged on merit, not ideology. Accountability over posturing.

Sovereignty is a spectrum. Controlling your code, your infrastructure, and your data is how you opt out meaningfully.

No dobra, ale, że polski tech YouTube zacznie mówić o Linuxie, faktycznie brać go do benchmarków, odróżniać pojęcia i polecać to można było nie mieć w swoim bingo na 2026. Do tego inni (również "głównego nurtu") twórcy chwalą za prostotę czy wygodę korzystania z DE (KDE Plasma w tym przypadku). Niesamowite.

@jakehamilton

That is most functioning open source projects.

...anything that needs doing? I would love some deduplication though, I'm pretty sure every second open source project I've seen uses a different framework for UI or math or something.

The problem with open source is that onboarding and documentation is generally not good enough.

Even #linux kind of sort of expects people to study things and "just show up" and "figure it out".

Every new file and directory in Linux starts with default permissions—and umask is what decides them.

Learn how to:
• Calculate permissions
• Configure umask permanently
• Improve Linux security
• Avoid common permission mistakes

WAN show / Linus Tech Tips: move off Windows to Linux now, like seriously, right the fuck now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8-5CSAaViY

It's a long video but it's the lead topic. And while LTT (and particularly the WAN show) are still very much tech media, it's the kind of tech media that shows up on The Tonight Show. So when it hits here, it's likely to go mainstream soon.

Second link (to the text-form surveillance story they're talking about) will be in the next reply.

#linux #windows #LTT #WANshow #surveillance

Here's deets on how Windows 11 has unique tracking codes specifically for tracking what you do and where you are at all times:

https://www.windowslatest.com/2026/07/10/you-cant-fully-disable-microsofts-gdid-windows-11-tracker-but-these-settings-limit-what-it-captures/

...and how they're happy to share that with the cops and help them ID individual computers and their users, cross-referencing external with their internal log of _all actions taken by the user_.

Next reply for two critical paragraphs from the story showing how much they're tracking and storing.

#linux #windows #LTT #WANshow #surveillance

From the article:

-----
Investigators later subpoenaed ngrok and found the account used in the attack had been created on May 12, 2025, at 19:21 UTC from a VPN proxy IP address run by Tzulo, a hosting provider. The IP was a dead end. VPN proxies do that. But the GDID is built different.

Microsoft’s records showed that at that exact same minute, a Windows device carrying GDID g:6755467234350028 had visited the ngrok signup page. Three hours later, the same GDID visited the retailer’s own website, through the same Tzulo proxy address used to set up the ngrok account. It gave the FBI a device, that don’t rotate the way VPN exit nodes do.

No Recall needed.

Linux time now.

Domandona: qualcuno ha un mini pc ? Tipo GPD e Chuwi Mini e simili , con
massimo display da 10" ?

Vorrei capire come vi trovate, dopo aver guardato un botto di recensioni online ed essendo incerto sull´ acquisto....

Linux ci gira bene, soprattutto le release recenti girano parecchio bene a quanto vedo. Serve magari fare qualche piccolo tweak , ma nulla di pazzesco.

Quando ero via mi son portato il mio X270, che con doppia batteria, di cui quella esterna sporgente, enorme, ottengo circa 6-7 h di autonomia.
Ma qualcosa di piú piccolo sarebbe ancora piú comodo.

Usi: internet, email, lettura pdf, tanto emacs. Qualche video o podcast ecc.

Layer 2 network access at a distance

For a recent project I needed to provision a new PLC on a dedicated network.

The provisioning process requires a Windows machine running software from the manufacturer and the initial discovery requires it to be on the same layer 2 segment.

As a rule I don’t normally run Windows anywhere (OK, I do have a dedicated Windows box to run Zwift) and definitely not one I wanted to run the vendor […]
