[$] A look at MinIO alternatives: Ceph and Garage https://lwn.net/Articles/1077739/ #tech #linux
I'm going to visiting Southern Ontario and #Ottawa the first two weeks of July. Does anyone know of any #Fediverse / #foss / #Linux meetups I could try to connect with while I'm there?
Can anyone recommend a form feeding document scanner with full duplex support that is very well supported by Linux? I'd like something with a paper tray size of at least 10 pages, but more is better.
Command line support strongly preferred, but I'll take what I can get.
Win11 Testing
Had to test some things in Win11 this morning. Recovered Bitlocker key, booted, updated, rebooted, updated, rebooted. Install .MSI and test. Feel like I should go to a meeting and say; Hi, I'm Meuon, and it's been 96 days since I ran Win11. I sinned this morning and am trying to repent. The priest then says "Do 6 Linux installs on friends Microsoft computers, and upgrade at least 3 servers to Debian 13. FOSS be with you, and you with FOSS." #Win11 #Linux #FOSS
I spent this evening trying to get `pacman` to install a Matrix client on my PinePhone without any luck.
There's two strong possibilities:
1. The Matrix clients I tried simply aren't available for my PinePhone's ARM chipset
2. I have no idea what i am doing with `pacman`
I will probably switch to compiling things from source code soon, but I'm nervous as my base model PinePhone doesn't have much processor or memory.
I've had very good luck compiling various ARM binaries from source on my Raspberry Pi.
Anyone know if that's likely to work if I build on a Pi and copy it over?
Qué interesante el comando hyperfine... no lo conocía, en general usaba el comando "time" para medir el tiempo de respuesta de un proceso por terminal... habrá que probarlo y ver qué otras opciones tiene!

Mulla ja kaverilla on yks yhteinen suosikkipeli PC:llä: Jagged Alliance 2.
Tää näkyy edelleenkin aika-ajoin niin, että sen pariin on päästävä, oli sitä asennettuna tai ei.
Illalla iski sellainen ajatus, että saiskohan ton Linuxilla toimimaan....muistaakseni ihan uusimmilla windows pc:illäkin sen toimimaan saaminen vaati ihmeen, aivokirurgiaa, kvanttimekaniikkaa, Sormuksen Ritareita ja juhannustaikoja. Kaverillekin tästä ajatuksesta mainitsin ja taisi hänkin lähteä asennuslevykettä kaivelemaan komeronsa kätköistä nostalgiapärinöissään 😄
Täytyypä vähän selvitellä.
@luca Coming from #Xubuntu I prefer #Debian stable these days but to be honest: almost any #Linux distro will do. I'd choose according to the community rather than the distro.
I guess you already know that you can test most distros by booting from USB thumb drive. Use that.
More important for the user is the desktop environment. KDE (with Wayland) would be my recommendation.

Heroic launcher was looping for 9 hours trying to integrate corrupt chunks at 100% CPU utilisation
In the end I (AI) had to create a script that launched blizzard updater automatically. #wow is now pulling the 25GB update.
This is why #linuxgaming is so problematic.
When it works it works, but when it doesn't you need 10 hours, an Ai generated BOK and Aigen launch script 🙄

Can someone give me a quick recommendation for an encrypted #chatApp that is suitable for legal discussion and allows group chats? Voice chats a plus but not strictly necessary. Ideally runs on #Linux #Android and #Windows with #iOS an added bonus.
I know about #Signal and if that's good enough just tell me. Otherwise any info is appreciated.
I don't know enough about these things for my paranoia to calm down. And I just realized I don't know what hashtags to use to get the help o need.

I wrote a blogpost about making AMD Zen3(+)-based Lenovo IdeaPads work with Linux (they have an annoying suspend/s2idle-related bug disabling the keyboard until rebooting).
It also has a section about creating ACPI fake-devices to work around "Could not resolve symbol [...], AE_NOT_FOUND" ACPI errors.
If you need a dead-simple GTK notepad for linux that is just a hair more than a "sticky notes" application but doesn't try to autocomplete or spellcheck or or or, I found this one on GitHub and it fits the bill *exactly*.

I know that Mastodon is a smaller community than most social media, and there are still very few PinePhone users in the world, overall.
So a theoretical random distribution would make my odds very poor of finding PinePhone community here.
But y'all are here, and y'all have been awesome. Thank you!

@RaymondPierreL3 Agree, but I'm far from "there are alternatives". Alternatives for whom? #Linux?
Person that is happy to compile a kernel and webcam drivers to make the most basic things work somehow until they break again with next release? Been there, ran #Gentoo on all my machines and #Ubuntu on relatives for ~decade.
Would not choose to do it again. Time is the ultimate finite resource of mine and I'd rather have "works ok-ish now" than "could work eventually if I spend more time on it".

My first company, Opera, was built on word of mouth. The same applies to my 2nd company, @Vivaldi. We have never had the means that Big Tech has. In the case of Vivaldi, we have even avoided investors, to not end up like Opera.
We have also made it harder for our selves. We likely could have generated more funds through adding stuff like Crypto, AI or just plain old data collection in the browser, but we choose not to. We are also not an Ad company like most of our larger competitors. Instead we have added a wealth of features and customization.
Now people are starting to understand that just going with Big Tech may be easy to start with, but ends up not being worth it. In fact we now have governments and companies thinking that they need to move away from Big Tech and quickly.
We welcome you all.

I find it quite funny that while people moving from Windows to #linux struggle with their apps not working, I have the opposite problem, when using Windows my favourite linux apps don't work or don't work well.
update: it did not work.
I'll try flashing a version of Linux I'm more familiar with, next.

Linux Phone update:
I messed around trying to flash Mobian (mobile Debian) on my PinePhone, but I got a flashing light error code, and could not find any documentation for error codes in TowBoot.
"But, Edward!", you say, "If lack of documentation stopped your project, why not see if the famously excellent Arch Wiki can solve it?!"
Well, I tried that too!
And what happened is - I now have a snappy responsive Linux phone running Arch!

Here's some #vintage #tech for you. This is the Data General Nova 2. These 16-bit #minicomputers were very popular in the 1970s. Coincidentally this #photo was taken in the office of my last job, the #basement of a #government #research facility. I didn't take the photo but the link to the post is below.
I spent just over two years here managing #Linux and #Solaris servers. My #cubicle was just around the corner from these #machines, below flickering fluorescent lights. Exactly what you'd expect from working in the basement of a government building.
While these systems haven't been in use for decades and should have been in a museum, they were still on the books and inventoried annually. 🤦♂️

Preparing a laptop to give to a friend to introduce them to Linux. They want to run a custom software package they’re used to at work, but they only know Linux as the OS running cryptic commands from Windows PuTTY.
My hope is that they will enjoy using Linux. I’ve been daily driving Linux for 20 years, so I forgot what new users like. What distro should I pick? For compatibility with their work program it must be Debian-based.

Noget jeg synes er rigtig fedt ved Linux, er jeg får lyst til at lege og eksperimentere.
I weekenden begyndte jeg at "rode med computere" - primært for at få lidt mere fart & fut i min gamle Acer-bærbar fra 2012.
Mange timer senere endte jeg med XFCE (Linux Mint) og har nu XFCE på min Acer Aspire OG min Lenovo Thinkpad fra 2015.
