@CraftComputing I really appreciate the DS9 reference on your scam NVMe video thumbnail.


I am way, way behind on blogs. But I decided to drop the one that's been in draft for a month today, since Fedora 41 dropped.

Had no idea I'd be upgrading my fleet to Fedora 41 today, but I guess that's happening.

Steven reshared this.


Fedora Linux 41 is here! We have DNF 5, new desktops, bootc, new spins, and more. Check it out!

This is awesome! 🎉 I just upgraded, but I still have the old terminal (not Ptyxis). Do I have to somehow change that manually or should I wait for another update?
in reply to Fedora Project

coreos-installer is still fetching 40.20241019.3.0 for stable. Atomic desktops were mentioned, but apparently that's considered beta?


Welp, created a Bluesky account to connect to my Friendica account ... so this is a test post.


So Firezone's billing system isn't setup for them to allow a trial period. Seems like quite the oversight.

Wow, this @sovtechfund fellowship looks great - if you live in Germany and are a maintainer of a widely used yet poorly funded open source project, they basically pay you to maintain it for a whole year at something pretty close to market rates, with the perks of being an employee like paid holidays and all the rest.

More info below.

Please look there before asking questions here. I don’t work for them, but I like what they do.

Not at all intuitive ... but private.



NGL, I really like paying for support. Especially for open source (and open core) products.


Forever grateful to Rsyninator's web command line generator, because even after more than 20 years as a sysadmin I still can't remember every command line switch of every program that I use, and this one makes rsync easy.

The job identifier is 1337 and the job result is failed.

Wrote up a blogpost covering the most common AGPL misconceptions I see based upon my experience of looking into open source licensing over the last couple of years:

danb.me/blog/common-agpl-misco…

#opensource

reshared this

in reply to Dan Brown

One problem I heard about the AGPL is that basically whenever you make changes to the code and run it (whenever someone can see it? Not sure if it applies if you are really the only one seeing it), then you are immediately violating the license, unless the code automatically serves the current code from where it is running.
Do you think that's an accurate representation of the license?
in reply to Magyk

@Blu I would not consider that accurate. Section 6 of the license provides quite an array of ways that the source can be conveyed when distributing non-source forms:

gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.en.h…

Generally, it's just about ensuring the source is reasonably accessible when distributing to others (for which general web access counts as for AGPL).

@Blu


Holy shit, the incus-migrate program worked really, really well. I moved my Passbolt instance from an XCP-ng VM to an Incus container in minutes.

Upgrading one machine to Fedora 41 Beta. This is my first system upgrade since switching to Fedora.

Does your favorite Starfleet uniform belong to your favorite Trek?
in reply to Jer Warren

my favorite uniforms are from DS9, but I watched very little of DS9
in reply to Jer Warren

DS9 is, by far, my favorite Trek. But, the only uniform I ever spent more than a moment thinking about was the one Seven of Nine wore.

Why do I only forget to run screen when I run a job that takes a horribly long time to complete?





If I were to install a BSD on a laptop for learning purposes, which one should it be? Is there one with a better Plasma Desktop experience (assuming Plasma Desktop runs on BSD)?


When I started using Plasma 6 I thought Discover was so slow and annoying that I uninstalled it from two computers and continued installing software and updating my system from the command line. Some months later I love Discover and I've reinstalled it on machines that it had been removed from.


Audacity's Noise Reduction is actually pretty good, but you have to have enough time to screw around a lot. Or maybe that's because I lack experience.



Just spent 7 hours moving a modem and setting up some Omada access points and a controller at a church. Definitely impressed with how easy device setup was.



Dear recruiter,

No, factoring in the overtime hours to boost the potential salary you're offering doesn't make me want the position now.

Sincerely,
Really really not interested

I really love Rescuezilla. I don't have to use it that often anymore, but when I need it, it's my go to cloning and rescue utility.

Heya everyone, I thought I posted this here last night, but apparently I didn't..

I regret to inform you that the Screen Shot Off The Record plugin that we linked to briefly was found to have a key logger and was sending screen shots to unwanted parties.

So if you have this plugin installed, you will want to remove it immediately.

You can see our official post about this at pidgin.im/posts/2024-08-malici…

We are planning a more indepth post in the near future.

👋 Hi everyone!
We're the team behind Zen Browser! You can follow us for updates about the project :^)

Steven reshared this.

in reply to Zen

great browser, using it as we speak.

Can I suggest an option to implement here?

in reply to Döbbie03

@dobbie003 thank you!
There's always room for suggestions, but due to the exponential growth the project got, we don't know if we're able to do something with at the moment.
in reply to Zen

to be expected, I think we all know unless you're a magician, nothing happens overnight. :D

Rather than a selection of preset colour schemes, can you look at implementing an option where we can choose say three of our own colour choices? Similar to how Vivaldi do it?

in reply to Döbbie03

zen-browser.app/themes 👀
A small collection but steadily growing, and also has the option for u to chose the 5 primary colors and make it a theme to your liking.

I finally got around to putting the longer power cables on my monitors so I can operate the standing desk more freely. And it's great.

What happened to "sanitise yer inputs"?



Why is Typo3 so hard to get working? The thing about WordPress, no matter how much you love or hate it, after a simple install you have a functional site/blog.

No major distro drops this week. I was fortunate enough for a lifelong friend to come into town for drinks on Monday, and I had tickets to a networking event in a party suite at the Orioles game on Tuesday, which really cut into my 'test new stuff and take screenshots' time. Still, some cool crap happened this week ...
