@FediFollows@social.growyourown.services you ought to include the contacts of #opensource champions like the #developers of #linux #distros like #mxlinux #linuxMint #debian #archlinux, #developers of some prime #mastodon instances, #piefed instances, #codeberg , #github and email services like #mailo and #proton. That way, we would be able to reach out to them through #socialmedia whenever we need their support. This informal channel is oftentimes better than your regular email.

As an former Ubuntu fan boy, for well over a decade, I second the recommendation of MXlinux over Ubuntu. Lighter weight and Debian base is great. It is also friendly to Linux newbies with helpful tools, community and documentation. I use Devuan on many of my computers, which is also based on Debian. #Linux #Debian #Devuan #mxLinux

For Linux newbies, the Debian installer may be a bit challenging (at least it used to be). So mxLinux wins there. The Devuan installers are also not Linux newbie friendly, but I really like the TUI based Devuan Server installer and then choose a desktop environment as one of the last steps. I chose Devuan because I am interested in not having SystemD. Debian is also good, but for ease of use and installation I would usually recommend Linux Mint Debian Edition to a Linux Newbie would wants to run Debian. So I am guessing the reason is that some Debian derivatives have an an installer that is easier to use and understand than Debian itself. #Debian #LMDE #Devuan #mxLinux

#CaliforniaLaw is written by people who are either very ignorant or very incompetent. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billStatusClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB1043 They have assumed that all operating systems are like Microsoft Windows 11, Android, or iOS; and have written legislation for operating systems where people download glorified WWW client 'apps', from 'stores', which use 'accounts' that they have with vendors or Microsoft/Google/Apple. But the legislation *as worded* *also* covers everything from #Debian and #Ubuntu through #Arch Linux and #MobaXTerm to #FreeBSD and #NetBSD and #OpenBSD; where users anonymously use package managers or ports systems to install applications, written by developers, on operating systems, from 'publicly available internet website' repositories. There is no age field in the GECOS data in master.passwd(5) of course, and the reality is that no BSD or Linux-based operating system has this concept of apps/stores/accounts. #MidnightBSD #FreeSoftware #Unix #California #USLaw #AgeVerification #GDPR

Ha resultado bien y me ha ahorrado mucho trabajo. Ninguno de los dos LLMs que probé consiguieron información actualizada de aplicaciones al momento de recomendar reemplazos, pero para las aplicaciones más comunes del sistema funcionaron bien. Y para evaluar qué paquetes GNOME/GTK mantener y cuáles borrar, además de ciertos ajustes finos, resultaron muy buenos. Aquí estamos con Debian 13 y escritorio KDE Plasma. #GnometoPlasma #Linux #GNULinux #Debian #LLMs #KDEPlasma

An odd glitch on my laptop that has persisted for multiple reboots over multiple days now: A short clip of audio, a female voice saying "and we have names for him" keeps playing... randomly... for multiple days now. At first I thought it was coming from a browser tab... had to be, right? I'm now down to five open browser tabs. All but one are specifically muted (though they don't play audio). And yet every so often without warning I get "and we have names for him" lady. I'd really love to know A) what the heck is going on here so I could fix it. and B) the context of those words... As a writing prompt I can see so many ways to go with that: "And we have names for him". It's so ambiguous. I'd love to know what came before "And", who he is, etc. Also what is going on with Debian+Gnome+Firefox that gives me the names lady. #Linux #Debian #Gnome #Firefox

@pointlessone@status.pointless.one I have a hard time builing #AdaLang LSP on #OpenBSD. It makes me want to abandon the whole "switch to #BSD" idea and stick to the old boring #Debian Stable...

@geerlingguy@mastodon.social so true. I’ve been running a #Debian firewall with iptables for the better part of a decade and it’s worked incredibly well. Basically any computer that can boot Linux will work. I even used a USB Ethernet dongle for a while.

Final de semana serviu para resolver problemas com o meu Thinkpad L14 (L14 parece nome de linha de onibus interurbano. Na Alvorada tem o L10) Bom… testei algumas distros e nao funcionou, sao elas:

  • Trisquel
  • Guix
  • PureOS

Bom… cheguei a fazer o setup do slackware 15 mas vi que nao tenho mais a paciencia que tinha antigamente em compilar muita coisa e etc. Rodei o Arch e foi bom, mas ao instalar Teamviewer o installpkg entrava em looping… então resumindo:

O bom e velho Debian, na sua versão 13 deu conta do recado. Sigo feliz!

Reminder that we wrote software like #vi #linuxKernel #postgres #sqlite and such without #ai and that I still can't believe how quick, efficient #postgres is on a smoll #debian #lxc #container with two #vcpu and four GB of #RAM running on an old Intel #i5 four cores CPU and an #hdd

I set up my very first #linux #server today! Based on #debian #trixie , it gave me a bit of a headache, but the moment all has been sorted out and the remote access worked like a charm (that itself wasn't a problem, but to log into #ssh after assigning a static IP address was. I'll try to setup #jellyfin and see how it goes :) But at the moment, even Neo has nothing on me, lol

I've known #distrobox for quite a while and used it casually go get things on my system and liked it a lot. Well since I started doing #development in my free time I came to rely on this tool a lot! It gives me such freedom and ease of mind, I love it! Previously I would install #ArchLinux to get the newest dependencies & goodies. After a while I either mess things up or I switch stack, tech or something else, so I used to wipe all & install from scratch for the next "project". Now I just use #debian as a host and get all the sdk's, ide's and all stuff related in an arch container. Then export what I need.

I am happy with how this turned out. This is for a local startup business that wants an internal wiki (asked for mediawiki) and the ability to have more php-mariadb (mysql) custom web apps. Why a GUI for a server? Just in case it is needed. I am not going to be doing all the work and I want it as easy as possible to use. Linux Mint Debian Edition is a good fit, as then I can just treat it like a Debian server. That's similar to a lot of the other Linux consulting I do. I have a hard disk drive for versioned backup. Configured Time Shift to back up everything to it. Seems to work well, as I can browse the Timeshift snapshot in the file browser. I also set up MediaWiki for them. Learned a few things there. I had to set a root mariadb password. I customized it with a logo and also made some other adjustments to the MediaWiki LocalSettings.php file. #LinuxMint #Debian #Linux #MediaWiki #wiki

@reallyflygreg@mstdn.ca @toddalio@mstdn.ca I'm inclined to believe that it is indeed the people who don't understand technology (specifically: they think that everything works like their smart 'phone or Microsoft Windows 11 PC do) making policy; or that they did understand the technology and were just crap at drafting legislation such that it could distinguish the Microsoft Store, Google Play, the Apple App Store, et al. from #Ubuntu's package repository and #OpenBSD's ports tree. And that distinguishing criterion is not #FreeSoftware. Given the aims, the #California legislators would want #FDroid to be required to hand over #AgeVerification data to free-software apps that F-Droid allows, that themselves want to impose age restrictions (on, say, showing certain content to minors) via the route of getting the account holder's age (bracket) information from the operating system via a 'signal' from the 'store'. https://monitor.f-droid.org/anti-features #FreeBSD #NetBSD #Debian #CaliforniaLaw #USLaw

@montyontherun@bitbang.social The definitions are broad, so to quite an extent they would. There are users, who have accounts, on general purpose computers, and run applications. The only hope for #mainframes seems to be that they likely don't have things that fit the definition of a 'covered application store'. But they might; especially if the mainframe is nowadays running a Linux-based operating system. http://linuxvm.org/info/distros.html #Debian and #Ubuntu have package repositories for s390x, for example. Such a repository is a 'publicly available internet website […] that distributes and facilitates the download of applications'. Here's one way how the naughty 16-year-olds in #California would download rustc onto such a mainframe with no #AgeVerification, for example: https://packages.debian.org/trixie/s390x/rustc/download #CaliforniaLaw #USLaw #FreeSoftware #rust
