Noniin, @david_bardos muistuttelikin jo ystävällisesti ja kyseli, että mites se muutosprojekti etenee, mistä alkuvuodesta (muistaakseni) puhuin.

No, muutoksia ja "muutoksia" tähän asti:

- Vaihdoin Windowsista Linuxiin
- Selaimen vaihdoin Vivaldiin sekä koneessa että luurissa
- Hakukoneeksi vaihdoin Ecosian
- Sähköpostin vaihdoin Gmailista Tutaan

- Herkuttelua (sekä suolaisilla että makeilla) olen vähentänyt todella reilusti
- Kahvinjuontia olen vähentänyt kolmeen kuppiin päivässä aiemmasta 4-5 kupista. Olen alkanut juomaan sen sijaan vihreää teetä
- Punainen liha jää entistä vahvemmin ruokavaliosta pois ja kasvisproteiinit tulevat tilalle. Kasvispainotteisella ruokavaliolla olen yrittänyt olla jo muutaman vuoden, mutta nyt entistä enemmän
- Jossain vaiheessa laiskistuin ja aloin käyttämään hissiä. Nyt hylkäsin hissin ja aina kun mahdollista niin kuljen portaita. Sekä ylös että alas
- Someista minulla on puhelimessa kytketty kaikki ilmoitukset pois jo kauan sitten. Nyt poistelin kuvakkeet aloitusruudusta ja jätän puhelimen fyysisesti kauemmas kun en sitä käytä (yleensä toiseen huoneeseen). Lisäksi se on valtaosan ajasta pelkällä värinällä.
- Olen alkanut taas punnertelemaan kotona. Yleensä neljänä iltana viikossa vähintään

Olen itse tyytyväinen tähänastisiin muutoksiin ja uusiin suuntiin. Paljon olisi vielä mielessä että mitä tehdä, mutta luulen että on tärkeämpää nyt keskittyä saamaan yllä luetelluista rutiinia. Sitten voi pohtia lisää.

Otetaanko sit vaikka tasan kolmen kuukauden päästä samanlainen katsaus? :D

Systemd merged age verification to comply with California state law.

If you want to enter a birth date, I recommend "Friday, 13 December 1901 20:45:52".

I like this for a few reasons:

1. This is the earliest date possible for a 32 bit datetime integer in C.
2. It's malicious compliance.
3. It's obviously faked.

O Linux oferece controles que simplesmente não existem no Windows ou no macOS: o PAM permite restringir login por horário diretamente no kernel; iptables/nftables pode bloquear acesso à internet por UID de usuário; AppArmor e SELinux implementam controle de acesso mandatório. Todo Unix-like, sem exceção, tem as bases para cumprir esses requisitos por design.

O GNOME integra o Malcontent desde de 2020. É um sistema nativo de controle parental que permite restringir aplicativos por conta de usuário, bloquear navegadores web, impedir instalação de software e filtrar aplicativos por classificação etária usando o padrão OARS (Open Age Ratings Service).

O Flathub, maior repositório de aplicativos Linux, exige obrigatoriamente classificação OARS para todos os aplicativos publicados. Classificação por violência, drogas, sexo, linguagem, interação social, com mapeamento para faixas etárias. O mesmo tipo de função que você encontra na App Store e na Play Store.

Para controle de tempo de tela, o Timekpr-nExT oferece limites diários, semanais e mensais, janelas horárias, controle por aplicativo e logout automático. Funciona com GNOME, KDE Plasma, XFCE, Cinnamon, Budgie e Deepin, tanto em X11 quanto em Wayland. Está nos repositórios oficiais do Ubuntu desde a versão 20.10.

CTparental, solução francesa open source, combina filtragem web por categorias, SafeSearch forçado, controle de tempo, bloqueio de downloads por extensão e interface web de administração

Ever struggled to explain “Linux fragmentation” to non‑tech friends? 🚗💨

You’re chatting with friends, family, or a non‑technical manager and the question lands:

“Why are we using Red Hat at work when my friend uses Ubuntu at home? Aren’t they both just Linux? Why is this so complicated?”

Explaining a modular, kernel‑based world to someone used to one neat product (macOS, Windows, iOS) can feel like explaining car mechanics at a dinner party.

So how do you make it click?

Here’s an analogy I’ve used for years that usually gets an instant “Aha!” from non‑tech people.

Engine vs. Vehicle

🔧 Kernel = Engine
The Linux kernel is the engine: the core machinery that actually makes things run. It’s powerful and reliable – but an engine alone doesn’t get you anywhere.

🚗 Distro = Vehicle
A distribution (distro) is the whole vehicle built around that engine: body, seats, dashboard, storage, tools. It’s the engine plus everything else you need to actually use it, assembled for a particular purpose.

And just like in real life, we don’t pick a vehicle because of the paint job; we pick it because of what we need it to do.

Everyday Examples
To pull it out of the “enterprise IT” bubble, I frame it with everyday roles.

🚛 The Commercial Truck (Server) – RHEL, Debian
A big truck that hauls heavy loads non‑stop. Not designed for comfort or looks, just for doing the job, reliably, for years. That’s your server: often no GUI, older but proven components, maximum stability.

🚙 The Daily Driver (Workstation) – Fedora, Ubuntu LTS
Your normal car: comfortable, up‑to‑date, good enough for commuting, shopping, road trips. That’s a developer or desktop distro: modern tools, stable enough for everyday work and testing.

🛠️ The Specialist Van (Niche Distros) – Kali Linux

A van packed with custom tools for a single trade – like a locksmith’s or electrician’s van. You don’t use it for everything; you use it when you need that specific toolkit. That’s a security‑focused distro.

So is this “fragmentation”?
“They all share the same core engine, but the ‘vehicles’ are customized for different jobs. Servers, laptops, and security toolkits all run Linux – just tuned differently.”

Same engine, different roles:
• long‑running servers,
• everyday work machines,
• highly specialized tools.

Your Turn

How do you explain the “many Linuxes” problem to people who aren’t in IT – friends at a bar, parents, or colleagues from non‑tech teams?

Apache2 Logrotate ohne Restart: Der Guide zu copytruncate

@SilverArrows #Linux depends on hardware, when you have to compile by yourself you may have the wrong hardware. But from my point of view I also think that hardware support stagnates: camera on newer #surface_pro devices do also suck like what you described.

Having hardware vendors providing proper drivers should be the key to both platforms, mobile and computers.

Hopefully that's the #grapheneos deal with #Motorola, also provide a hardware basis usable for #postmarketos

Qué distro de linux recomiendan para desarrollo?

#linux #development

My #linux distributions history:

1995: #slackware, my first linux experience, in my campus lab as a student of information engineering, also install this on my PC using dozens of floppy disk.

2000: #redhatlinux (not #RHEL), mainly used as my cybercafe router and servers. Also try #knoppix on my PC occasionally

2003: Fedora Core Linux (called as #Fedora Linux now) as a continuation of of #redhat linux. Fedora was also the first time linux was used as my primary OS on my PC and laptop.

@Verfassungklage

Ich habe mir letztes Jahr, als ich von Windows 11 umgestiegen bin, selbst verschiedene Distris angesehen, ohne vorher im Netz zu gucken, welche wohl für mich die beste ist.
Von Ubuntu war ich noch nie begeistert. Mint bspw. finde ich für meine Belange absolut überdimensioniert. Unter cachyOS ist meine Notizbuch-App, von der ich eine Lifetime-Version besitze, nicht gelaufen.

Schlussendlich bin ich für meinen Tower bei ZorinOS gelandet und für den Lappi bei PopOS. Beide Distris bieten mir auf den beiden Geräten das, was ich für diese haben will.

#Linux hat ein RIESIGES Problem

Linux hat ein Problem. Und nein, es ist nicht die Technik. Es ist etwas, das gleichzeitig die größte Stärke und die größte Schwäche von Linux ist. In diesem Video rede ich darüber, warum die #Distro-Vielfalt Anfänger überfordert, warum es überhaupt so viele #Linux-Versionen gibt, und warum die Community es gut meint, aber es Umsteigern manchmal unnötig schwer macht...

What's the most common complaint I've heard about Linux?

Not the installation process.
Not finding a distro.
Not getting programs to work.
Not troubleshooting.
Not hardware compatibility.

The most common complaint about Linux I've seen is this:
For a normal computer user, asking for help is just about impossible.

They ask a simple question and:
People respond "Did you Google it?"
People complain that the question wasn't asked "correctly".
People respond "RTFM"
People get mad??? at them for making an easy mistake.

We can't expect normal people to know to, or even know how to deal with any of that stuff.

Search engines these days are awful, manuals are hard to read for most people (especially stuff like ArchWiki), and normal people make mistakes we think are easily avoidable.

The solution to making Linux more popular is not ruthless promotion. The solution is to actually help the people who are trying to use it.

#Linux

@ianp5a @Linux_in_a_Bit oh I've literally got one of those "just reinstall windows then" responses when I was just having a rant about wanting my Linux Mint to work and sticking with it despite the difficulties. I wasn't even asking for help.

https://autistics.life/@SilverArrows/116069998719982667

But this person got triggered and threw a mini hissy fit.

Joke's on them, I'm on a dual boot.

But to be honest, 90%+ of the responses I get are positive and in good faith. But you occasionally get these little brats piping up with this butthurt behaviour. Good luck spreading the gospel of #Linux when you just act like a gatekeeper.

@opensuse and @fedora a question for you: are you going to implement the age verification thing that will be part of the systemd and one of the ways the governments try to control how we use our computers? I don't need a philosophical/complicated answer. Just a yes or a no will suffice. So that I/we know where to go from here.

I've been a user and supporter of open source since 1998. I've been using all kinds of distros over the years, but this is becoming one of the worst periods of time I've lived and losing one more thing to right wingers and billionaires makes me angry and upset.

In the context of releasing updated packages that fix critical vulnerabilities, what does "Will be published imminently" actually mean?

I'm looking at #Canonical (@ubuntu) right now, as some of the packages to mitigate #CrackArmor on Azure have been saying that since, at least, Monday.

Any indication of a concrete date for this to be available?

Trying to boot Knoppix 3.3 on this old Pentium laptop and the #linux kernel panics. I’m using failsafe but apparently that’s not enough. The plan was to use a Linux so I could backup the hard drive over a PCMCIA 3com adapter. #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

It doesn’t panic right away, it gets a little into booting. #linux #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

Digging around for adapters and discovered another weapon in my arsenal! It's a little adapter that converts 40 pin IDE to 44 pin laptop IDE. Maybe I can hook the hard drive direct to a desktop computer so I can back it up? #linux #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

Nope. Drive doesn't spin up at all. Don't know where the adapter came from, maybe it's broken. Although there's really not much to it. #linux #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

It looks like the adapter might actually be broken! Or at least made wrong. Took a bit of searching to find out what the 44 pin IDE pinout is. Apparently there are *two* 5V pins (one for motor, one for logic) and only one is connected on this adapter. No problem, I'll drill a "via" and run a short jumper wire through. #linux #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

The adapter didn't work. No matter what I did the desktop wouldn't recognize the drive. I went into the BIOS and tried all the auto detect modes and I could hear it clicking the drive. Even tried manually entering the CHS. But whenever it booted it insisted there was a problem with the drive. #linux #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

I did however finally get the laptop to boot #linux! I switched to a Damn Small Linux CD. The laptop only has 16MB of RAM so I told it `lowram noswap` and use text console only, but it still had a kernel panic paging fault. Then I tried `mem=15MB lowram noswap` and it came up with no paging fault and I got to a shell! #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

We’ve seen questions around PH4NTXM regarding source code, audits, and overall transparency.

To clarify:

PH4NTXM is a commercial, closed system.
At this time, it is not open-source and does not provide public access to internal components.

This model is intentional and allows us to maintain a controlled, consistent operating environment.

For those interested in exploring the project in a more accessible way, we offer PH4NTXM-LITE, which reflects the direction and core philosophy of the system.

We understand that different users have different requirements.
If full transparency and community-driven development are priorities, there are excellent solutions built around that model.

PH4NTXM follows a different approach—focused on controlled deployment, consistency, and defined operational boundaries.

This direction may evolve over time, but this is the current model.

Choose what best fits your needs.

One thing I don't like about Qalculate! is distance conversion.

Converting from imperial to metric gives a decimal result.

EG: 5.93 miles to km = 9.54340992 km

But converting from metric to imperial gives an overly complicated result.

EG: 9.53 km to miles = 5 mi + 1622 yd + 0.4041994751 ft

Is there is a way for it to return "5.921667 mi" instead?

#Mastodon tip: There is a way to use only part of a word as a hashtag!

For example, you might want to say the word “toots”, but use the hashtag “toot”.

To do this, place a U+2060 WORD JOINER before the “s” in “toots”. Example: #toot⁠s.

If you're using #X11 or #Wayland (i.e. #Linux or #BSD desktop), you can add the following line to ~/.XCompose to give yourself a keyboard shortcut:

<Multi_key> <w> <j> : "⁠" U2060 # WORD JOINER

Then just type Compose, then W, then J.
