In #tmux, a "horizontal split" pane window places the panes side-by-side via "Ctrl+b %" or ":split-window -h".
In #Vim, it's a "vertical split" by executing either "Ctrl+w Ctrl+v" or ":vsplit".
No wonder I'm always confused.
Is it a horizontal split because the windows/panes or horizontally placed, or a vertical split because there is a vertical line separating the windows/panes?

I know we're all anti AI here. Me too for a lot of stuff.
But I'm increasingly of the opinion that I wouldn't be able to stay on Linux without bouncing between the various chatbots for help. Unless I had hours to dig stuff up on my own. Or had a Linux mentor. Which I don't. 🤷♂️
Mein altes Thinkpad T500 kann CDs digitalisieren, bei denen deutlich neuere (externe) CD-Laufwerke gestolpert sind.
Ich denke, ich kann längst verloren geglaubte CDs ins digitale Zeitalter retten und freue mich gerade ein bisschen.
Nutzen tue ich dafür Linux Mint mit asunder und bearbeite das dann mit mp3tag und musicbrainz picard ggf. nochmal nach.

Ist es ein „Hot Take“, wenn ich sage, dass ich mich mit #ArchLinux langsam ausgespielt habe? 🐧💨
Nach der ganzen Bastelei sehne ich mich nach etwas mehr Konservatismus, ohne auf aktuelle Pakete zu verzichten.
Mein Blick wandert aktuell stark Richtung #openSUSE Tumbleweed oder vielleicht sogar ein immutables #Fedora.
Ist das der natürliche Alterungsprozess eines Linux-Users oder einfach der Wunsch nach einem System, das „einfach funktioniert“?
Wer hat den Wechsel von Arch zu etwas „Gefestigterem“ schon hinter sich?

Nix is git for packages, change my mind.
I have used nix-env as another package manager (on Linux mint) because it has so many packages, but I decided last night to bite the bullet and install home-manager. After I set up my home.nix I realized what I mostly wanted was a list of the packages I've installed, and home manager delivers. Now it's a question of whether or not I want to move all my dotfiles into home.nix
So, mein Manjaro-Arbeitssystem erfolgreich von #Pulseaudio auf #Pipewire umgestellt, weil #Niri sonst die Audiodevices nicht findet. Eigentlich ist Pipewire ja der Standard, aber die Installation ist wohl doch schon ne Weile her. Das Schönste: Hat auf Anhieb geklappt. #linux
And by the way, I decided to give OpenSUSE Tumbleweed another try today. Since Debian has its little quirks with my keyboards and I don’t want to use a distribution with a U.S. background like Fedora, OpenSUSE would be the politically correct choice for me as a European solution.

Call me crazy... but I’ve got this complicated setup right now:
An old Pixel 8 Pro without a SIM card, with no apps installed—or rather, all apps disabled—and on it I’ve set up a second user profile where only the Aurora Store is running, and from there I’ve installed MullvadVPN and WhatsApp. No contacts saved, no Google account linked. On this second profile, my old WhatsApp number runs via the VPN and over Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, most of my friends are on WhatsApp, and very few want to install another messenger or switch, no matter how often or how hard I try to make them understand the dangers of WhatsApp or Meta in general. This dedicated WhatsApp smartphone just sits on my desk at home.
Just like my old iPhone 13 Mini for banking and ID Austria, the government app for Austria (official procedures, digital mailbox, etc.)
And last but not least, my Pixel 8a with GrapheneOS and my phone number for calls, texts, Signal, and calendar management on the go. I always have this smartphone with me; as I said, the other two just stay at home.
It might be a hassle—everyone else just uses one smartphone for this—but in return, I can use WhatsApp without Meta or Google gaining any access to my other usage behavior and data or being able to track my activities. I'm glad I kept these two extra devices when I did a major tech purge a few weeks ago.

Hi! Ich hadere etwas mit der #mp3 Wiedergabe in meinem #Linux #Mint . Am liebsten hätte ich einen netten #Player der sich ganz dezent ins #Tray neben der Uhr rechts unten verkrümelt und mich nicht nervt wärend er abspielt. Ich habe bisher #audacious was schon in die Richtung geht, aber ich sehe den Player dann gar nicht mehr und muss das #Desktop app immer anklicken. Welche #mp3Player nutzt du im #Systemtray und warum gerade dieser?

Ich würde ja gern meinen Gaming-PC von #Windows auf #Linux umrüsten.
Ich hab im Groben eine Ahnung, wie es geht. Ältere PCs im Haus laufen schon, aber die machen halt nicht, was ich mit meinem PC mache, sondern werden nur selten benötigt.
Ich glaube: Im Grunde bräuchte ich nur emotionale Unterstützung - und Detailfragen müssten halt geklärt werden...
Allein: Ich trau mich halt nicht.
Okay, ich stelle nochmal eine blöde Frage:
Wenn ich derzeit Windows auf c: habe und ESO (sowie die steam library) auf e:, dann sind die doch phyisch getrennt.
Wenn ich also jetzt z.B. #cachyOS installiere, mache ich das doch auf c:, richtig? Und wenn ich das auf c: mache, bleibt e: doch unberührt, stimmt's?
Und was ist denn dann nun, wenn cachyOS am Ende auf c: installiert ist: funktioniert e: dann wie gehabt?
Ich bin nicht nur Anfänger, ich bin auch verwirrt und ängstlich.
Starting a new experiment: turning a Raspberry Pi into a “privacy gateway” you connect to from your PC, so all traffic goes through a VPN (and whatever extra layers I add later).
A tiny box sitting between you and the Internet, filtering and protecting everything.

I think this iBook G4 was released in 2003? It was last updated sometime in 2007. Been in a closet for years. Still works!
Obviously, I have to discover if I can slap #Linux on it! I have zero experience with Macs of this era, OR Linux distros of this era.

I find it hilarious that the euphemism of using bittorrent to seed linux/bsd isos may actually become not a euphemism anymore if they start outlawing what I imagine would come to be called "anonymous distros" (they don't report your identity to government run APIs)

For a while, deploying apps meant a familiar ritual: SSH in, pull the repo, pray nothing breaks, repeat for every service.
Manual.
Fragile.
Exhausting.
This week I finally consolidated everything into a proper self-hosted control plane.
The stack:
→ aaPanel as the central dashboard which I heard about from a friend
→ Docker for containerised app isolation (absolute cancer)
→ PostgreSQL for database management (with per-app panels and log visibility)
→ DuckDNS handling dynamic DNS + automated HTTPS via Let's Encrypt (stayed up until 3AM on Sunday for this btw)
→ Netlify on the frontend side cuz it's easy to deploy
The difference is hard to overstate. One dashboard. Full log access across services. Deployments that don't require me to remember 12 steps in the right order at 11pm.
It's not a perfect setup, aaPanel is proprietary-ish and Netlify is clearly not self-hosted, but it's a defenitely a step away from "I'll fix it manually when it breaks" territory.
Curious if anyone here has migrated from this kind of hybrid setup toward something fully FOSS.
Always looking for the next rabbit hole.

💻 Bash: The Ultimate Hacker's Weapon!
𝗠𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗕𝗔𝗦𝗛 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗛𝗔𝗖𝗞𝗘𝗥𝗦: 𝗘𝗫𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗗-𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗣𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗥 (4h Workshop) with Kirils Solovjovs (@k )
(https://pretalx.com/bsidesluxembourg-2026/speaker/BFDPQS/)
Bash isn't just a shell – it's a hacking powerhouse. This hands-on 4h workshop transforms it for exploits, massive data processing, automation, recon, password cracking, pentesting. Ditch GUI tools for stealthy, fast bash scripts – analyze logs/traffic, image processing, document forensics, generate graphs/reports. Process terabytes of leaked passwords, manipulate artifacts, use custom/non-standard tools. BYO laptop.

📝 New blog post: Is 2026 the year of the Linux desktop?
I think it is, but not because Linux suddenly became easy. The real shift is that AI agents finally make its flexibility usable.
https://blog.arda.tr/blog/2026-03-24-is-2026-the-year-of-the-linux
From https://lemmy.ca/post/62278765 :
Software changes for compliance with age-verification laws are being pushed a bit everywhere in Linux-development; for example:
- In Systemd <https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/40954>, already merged.
- In xdg.desktop.portal <https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/pull/1922> (a portal frontend service for Flatpak and other desktop containment frameworks), still open.
- In Arch Linux <https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/pull/4290>, still open.
- In Freedesktop.org <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/accountsservice/accountsservice/-/merge_requests/176>, still open.
It’s interesting that it’s the same small group of people behind these pull requests, and that discussion threads in them have been locked owing to a great amount of negative criticisms.
They say “we have to comply with the law”. Which also means that if “the law” in the future will require proper verification, handling to 3rd-parties, or whatnot, then they will comply.
Well, it’s their right to. They don’t owe anything to anyone, and are under no obligation to report to users or to the community, nor to pay heed to anybody’s wishes.
If things proceed in this direction, we users may at some point have to choose between privacy-friendly Linux distributions or legal Linux distributions. People who, like me, are worried, need to start thinking about concrete actions to take before it’s too late: where to develop such distros? which channels to download and distribute them from? And so on.
It’s good to remind to those who keep on repeating the words “legal” and “illegal” that for example Nelson Mandela <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson_Mandela> was, technically speaking, a criminal who did and promoted illegal activity. This happens when laws become immoral.
I may be needing a new viewing-media laptop soonish - so I want a largeish screen and goot #linux support, but it doesn't need to be ultra-high-end-gaming-spec. I've previously had a reasonable Clevo from pcspecialist, any other suggestions? I've heard of framework, but they seem on the more-expensive side...
A systemd fork has set out as a fu*k you to age verification.
