  • What is a good Linux Tablet for University

    Jump

  • Kinda outside my price range. And there's probably no used devices yet.

  • What's A Piece Of Software You Could Never Do Without?

    Jump

  • I think vim (and other text editors with vim bindings). I've gotten so accustomed to the vim way of doing things that I can't go back

  • how the eastern germany Left party is fighting against neo-nazis (no hate, it's just cute and random)

    Jump

  • Yep. But this isn't even the greens party in the picture. It's "Die Linke" a leftist party. You can see it by a logo on his shirt. I hope they manage to come into the parliament.

  • What is the most duct-tape thing you've done to Linux?

    Jump

  • My mother uses some software that runs in the browser for her shop. It can print out receipts and scan items. To do these things it has a small "sattelite" application that runs on the system and interacts with the printer and scanner. This software only runs on Windows and Linux doesn't have drivers for the scanner.

    When I switched her over to Linux and found this out in the process I wanted to stop, give up and install windows.

    But then I had a stupid idea. I could run the sattelite program in a Windows VM and pass through the USB devices for receipt printer and scanner. The webapp uses requests to localhost:9998 to communicate with the sattelite so I set up a apache server that proxies these requests into the VM. I also prevented the VM from acessing the Interner so Windows doesn't update and screw everything up.

    And it works. It has been in use for a week now and I've heard no complaints. I'm just praying to god it doesn't break

  • I like it

  • Need to smooch my boyfriend rule

    Jump

  • My bf is currently on holiday with his parents and he is not out yet so I couldn't come with and now I really miss him and can't smooch him TwT

  • What file systems are you using on your devices and why?

    Jump

  • I am now all-in on bcachefs. I don't like btrfs, cause you still sometimes read about people loosing their data. I know that might happen with bcachefs too since it's early days still but fuck it. I like the risk.

    Filesystem level compression and encryption are so nice to have.

  • Any Free speech, censorship resistant lemmy, mastodon and fediverse altrnatives ?

    Jump

  • Nostr

  • Prove youre an OG, State your distro couz

    Jump

  • Usually Chad VoidLinux because it avoids the Unix-philosphy ignoring piece of garbage systemD but now I'm trying NixOS

  • Dresses are pretty rule

    Jump

  • Failed to load media 🙁

  • OpenSUSE has the best installation menu of any OSs ever made

    Jump

  • Yeah it's alright. I've been using Tumbleweed on my Desktop PC for the last few months and I gotta say it's mid. They do hard drive unlocking in Grub instead of in the initfs which means that only LUKS 1 and with that only the not-so-secure PDKDF is supported, instead of argon2id which is the modern KDF you want to use. This is a small and annoying oversight in the distros security which is why I will not be using it in the future

  • People who use distros without systemd, why do you do this?

    Jump

  • I'm not an anti-systemd extremist. I use Void because it is a simple distro that doesn't break as often as Arch does, while also being very up-to-date.

    I do have some things I dislike about systemd though which is why I will continue avoiding it in the future.

    • It doesn't follow the Unix Philosophy. This is a big problem for me, I want to be able to switch out different parts of my system as I please. Systemd is a collection of projects that are all so deeply integrated that you can't use them without also running the Systemd init system. And now Desktop Environments are starting to depend on Logind for example and there's no alternative for non-systemd users. (Except Elogind but that's just Logind ripped out of SystemD)
    • It's bloated and has many features I don't use. I just need an init system to start all my services at boot and restart them if they fail. Nothing more

    Also using a Distro without Systemd is not really that hard

  • See a lot of these relatable doomer posts are copy pasted (whole rules and and formatting) so it gets a little depressing

    Jump

  • I'm 20. I don't feel this way but maybe that's because it's been this way since I learned to think. I really hope for a revolution in the US

  • Fellow auties, which do you find is a better and healthier fit for you: dating another autistic person or an NT?

    Jump

  • I'm currently dating someone who is not diagnosed with something but is definitely not neurotypical. I only dated one person before when I was 16 and that didn't really go well, we didn't talk much I don't know how it worked really. That first relationship was with a neurotypical person

  • boys rule

    Jump

  • Hell naw. Left is ok but the right I wouldn't touch with a stick. You forgot the superiour third option:

  • Car rule

    Jump

  • AI generated?

  • rule

    Jump

  • You can do 

     
        
ps aux | grep -i <part of process name>

    and the PID is in the second column of the output. However for this use case I recommend a process manager like htop or btop

  • rule

    Jump

  • It's easy. Just open up a terminal and type

     bash
        
kill $PID

    (Replace the $PID with the process id of the process) if you don't know the process id you can do

     bash
        
killall process_name

    If these don't work you can add a -9 to banish them and give them no chance to resist

  • It is a huge failure in communication to pretend that distro upgrades are entirely different versions of the operating system. It does nothing but make Linux seem more complex than it actually is.

    Jump

  • I disagree. Have you ever updated your Android or Iphone to a newer version of the OS? Did it seem complex there? I'd say no and on Linux Desktop it's not different.
