  • New 'Looney Tunables' Linux bug gives root on major distros

    Jump

  • Yes, most of the major distributions have package updates with the fix. A few people have mentioned updates for Arch, Debian, and RedHat already.

    Ubuntu released an update yesterday as well:

    https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/2.35-0ubuntu3.4

    Ubuntu derivatives such as Pop!_OS should have also received this update, along with the X11 patches.

  • X.Org Hit By New Security Vulnerabilities - Two Date Back To 1988 With X11R2

    Jump

  • FYI, Ubuntu/Pop!_OS have already pushed out updates.

  • AMD Ryzen Powered Framework Laptop Linux Testing Held Up By BIOS Issue

    Jump

  • Kinda disappointing as it shows a lack of care and support for Linux, but hopefully the fix will come out soon.

    I look forward to seeing the Linux numbers.

  • Gnome: Is there a way to ahve any window available as a dropdown over all workspaces?

    Jump

  • RIP. Sorry :|

  • Gnome: Is there a way to ahve any window available as a dropdown over all workspaces?

    Jump

  • It's not a gnome extension, but you can use tdrop to implement this functionality. This a shell script that lets you make any program a drop down. Once you have the command you want to run, you can then add key bindings to gnome to toggle it.

  • gokrazy is really cool

    Jump

  • Oh, just to be clear... I'm not the author of the blog post. I just shared the link :]

  • What's your preference for a text chat server (e.g. IRC/XMPP/Matrix/Zulip/etc.)?

    Jump

  • Yeah, this is what I do... I host a couple of ergo IRC servers and an instance of thelounge for those that want that interface (also offer gamja). Personally, I use weechat to connect to the server.

  • Linux clipboard app which has functionality to paste multiple things after copying them in one go.

    Jump

  • I've been using GPaste as my clipboard manager for a while. It can save multiple items in the clipboard and you can switch between which items you want to paste.

    It doesn't have a keybinding for the "last second thing", but if you are OK with using your mouse to switch to another item, it would work for what you are asking.

  • Why the Steam deb from Canonical has been broken since 23.04

    Jump

  • Pretty sad state of affairs :|

  • [News] Roblox support is coming back to Wine on Linux

    Jump

  • I'll keep this in mind. Thanks.

  • [News] Roblox support is coming back to Wine on Linux

    Jump

  • My son is gonna be so happy... better not tell him yet though.

  • Why so many POST requests?

    Jump

  • POSTs are how federation works (ActivityPub is a Push-based protocol). When you "subscribe" to a community on say lemmy.ml, you are telling it to periodically send you updates about that community. This comes in the form of POSTS.

    As to the frequency of the POSTs, I can imagine something like lemmy.ml having a lot of activity that it needs to inform your instance of (new votes, new comments, new posts, etc)... but I'm not sure if one request per second is reasonable or not.

  • FOSS Podcast app for Android?

    Jump

  • No. I usually start over on a new device.

  • FOSS Podcast app for Android?

    Jump

  • +1 AntennaPod. Been using it for almost a decade :]

  • Can you recommend a lightweight matrix chat client to me?

    Jump

  • I don't think it will meet all your requirements (besides being light-weight), but I've been using weechat-matrix for a week and it's been fine. Without this, I wouldn't use matrix at all.

  • Install ZeroTier on Steam Deck

    Jump

  • ZeroTier is a way to basically create a peer-to-peer VPN of sorts. This is just a blog about how to set that up.

    One possible use case for having such a VPN or overlay network is that you can then play LAN games over the Internet because every machine in the ZeroTier VPN is on the same LAN. This is great if a game you play (usually older) does not support Internet play but does support LAN multi-player.

    Another possible idea is that you can also use this to stream games from say your desktop computer to your Steam Deck even if you are out of the house (if the machines are on the same ZeroTier network).

    An alternative to ZeroTier is Tailscale which would allow you to do basically the same things.

  • [Meta] Can the timestamps be fixed for [email protected]?

    Jump

  • I completely agree... I sort by New and this has caused me to unsubscribe from this community once already since the posts from this community just stay at the top, blocking actually new posts.

  • Tails updates to Linux Kernel 5.16.1 to fix critical vulnerability

    Jump

  • Headline is a bit misleading... This is just Tails updating to the latest LTS kernel, which has the security fix (which many other distributions have done).

    This update is a good thing, but the headline made it sound like the Tails project was contributing a fix to the kernel.

    Anyway, thanks for sharing.

  • How bad is battery life on Linux laptop?

    Jump

  • It really depends on the hardware and your use cases (ie. workflow).

    I have a laptop (Dell Latitude 7420) with an integrated GPU (all Intel Tiger Lake), and I regularly get between 8 - 10 hours of battery life with just using terminals and web browsers (Firefox).

    On GNOME, you will want to take advantage of the power profiles. With Pop, you can take advantage of their power management system. Otherwise, you can use something like TLP to minimize your power usage.

    Moreover, if you are watching videos, then you want to make sure it is GPU accelerated and using the builtin hardware codecs rather than relying on the CPU to do the decoding.

    I think that 12 hours on Linux on Intel/AMD is a stretch... but 8-10 hours is achievable and realistic (from my experience anyway).
