No se si tendrá que ver con la FLISoL, pero el 24 se movió un montón el mirror de Linux Mint @flisoluy@mastodon.uy ustedes lo utilizaron o es casualidad? Y Slackware también #undernet #mirror #linuxmint #slackware #flisol2026

Procrastination might sound wasteful, but it's actually great Slackware Mango/Niri up and running, with all extensive goodies from the slackosaurus. Received some great feedback during my travails, so all's dandy now. That leaves Gentoo dwm for tomorrow, and luckily enough that's a public holiday here. Or was it already in the back of my mind? 🤔 Probably 🥳 Cheers! 🍻 #slackware

Order restored. Experimental KDE by @jloc0@mastodon.sdf.org Flatpaks as applications. Kernel 7.0. Slacker0ni repo for all goodies. Homebrew and/or distrobox possible also. As immutable as a mutable distro gets. #slackware

Have been playing around with #Fedora on the spare machine, I think it's pretty cool. I remember the old days with RedHat Linux. I think 6.1 was my first. That said, I think I'm moving the spare machine to #Slackware. I've been itching to dive back into the OG distro that I learned Linux on. I remember buying a giant 50 pack of floppy disks (they were blue, orange, yellow, green, and red and I bet lots of people know exactly the bundle of floppies I'm talking about here) and went to the local library that had the ability to FTP. Eventually I got Cable Internet and downloading ISOs of Slackware became real. But in the late 90s, if I wanted to get all the sets for Slackware, it was a visit to the local library.

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!

This week's Linux and FOSS news: LINUX NEWS elementaryOS dev announces to comply with California law to avoid fines: https://mastodon.online/@danirabbit/116250765623660340 (I mean, losing a source of income is a valid concern on her part, but it doesn't justify that she risks the privacy of the users. Even though she says in a reply that asking for ID is different, I wouldn't be so sure at this point that she won't consider implementing that too, just to stay in business.) Fedora Project Leader Suggests Linux Distros Could Adopt Apple's Age Verification API: https://itsfoss.com/news/fedora-leader-suggests-age-verification-api/ (Adopting a big tech corp's API? What the hell did he smoke? It's even worse than the Systemd stuff. I already had some trust issues with Fedora, but now it becomes pretty obvious, that they shouldn't be trusted) Devuan rejects compliance: https://xcancel.com/jaromil/status/2034694340249821329 (Now this is great to see. I'm considering getting away from Systemd due to their attitude to comply, Devuan is the primary distro I consider, because it would let me keep the Debian base but get rid of Systemd at the same time.) Slackware also rejects compliance: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/how-is-ab-1043-going-to-impact-slackware-4175762747/page15.html#post6626190 (3 Systemd-free distros not complying at this point, there are quite a few distros to go to.) And ZorinOS too: https://forum.zorin.com/t/statement-about-age-verification-laws/61052 (A really good summary of this whole age nonsense, a worthy read) Kicksecure/Whonix changes plan, "unlikely" to comply, after user backlash: https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Age-api#status Inside the Systemd Age Verification Debate: Developer Responds to Criticism: https://itsfoss.com/dylan-taylor-systemd-controversy/ (I think he isn't the one to blame here, but rather the Systemd project. If he didn't do it, someone else would do it. That's what we get from a corporate-backed project I guess. Harrassing him won't do anything, it's just naive, childish behavior.) Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support: https://itsfoss.com/news/systemd-fork-strips-out-age-verification/ (more Linux and FOSS news in comments) #WeeklyNews #News #Linux #LinuxNews #AgeVerification #elementaryOS #Fedora #Devuan #Slackware #ZorinOS #Kicksecure #Whonix #Systemd #FosseryTech

Została wydana nowa wersja PorteuX 2.6. PorteuX to dystrybucja Linux oparta na Slackware, zainspirowana przez Slax i Porteus. Jej głównym celem jest bycie super szybką, małą, przenośną, modułową i niezmienną dystrybucją Linux. https://linuxiarze.pl/porteux-2-6/ #linux #slackware

Anyone for the outdatedness of Slackware? My Slackware Tilers setup runs Sway, with the nwg-shell. And Mangowc with Noctalia. And Niri with Dank. Hyprland is available, but not installed. And Slackware Current. All from one iso and repository by @jloc0@mastodon.sdf.org . Smart thing: package sets are linked by symbolic links. Type "slackpkg install dank" and you'll see all related packages before they're pulled in. Way less 'dependency hell'. And very much up to date 😄 Thanks Jay! #slackware #niri #mangowc #nwgshell

Total distraction. Per usual. But at least that work laptop has Slackware Current with mangowc and sway all running great and smooth. Add noctalia for some bling (although it costs me an extra 300mb of ram compared to waybar...) and that's good to go. VoidLinux and dwm tomorrow then, with a little help of Bakkeby? Yup 👍🏻 As long as I don't get distracted again 🤣 #archlabs #slackware

@jloc0@mastodon.sdf.org One of the gang of 5! Just moving the mango/sway setup to the work laptop, really enjoying that one. Minor niggles with the iso (greetd), but as a true Slacker I'm working my way around it 😉 #slackware

@opensuse@fosstodon.org Slackware in 1994, must've been 1.2 originally and then updated/augmented with 2.0 material (gcc, TeX and whatnot). Install floppies downloaded over a modem line, ranging from 9600-14400bps. Those were fun times, but the download part I do not miss 😆 Soon got into the habit of building my own kernels, leading into running the development kernel of the day for several years. I guess it grew old around the time Linux became a day job. #slackware

3) Está completo y solo falta la aprobación por el mirror admin, del primer mirror completo de Slackware Linux y Slackbuilds :slackware: Pronto estará listado en https://mirrors.slackware.com/mirrorlist/ El proceso de actualización de la lista de mirrors de Slackware es mucho más lenta que las otras por lo que puede pasar un buen tiempo antes de que aparezca ahi, pero este fue el primer mirror que levantamos y está funcionando hace casi un mes. El mirror incluye todas las versiones históricas y actuales de Slackware así como también las Slackbuilds que son scripts de compilación de paquetes de la comunidad. El mirror es solo de las slackbuilds, no la página Slackbuilds, pero se puede configurar el sbopkg para que utilice este mirror. Los diferentes mirrors pueden accederse desde nuestra página: Mirror Undernet --> https://mirror.undernet.uy/ Los mirrors estan dispenibles por FTP, HTTP, HTTPS y RSYNC. Si alguien quiere utilizar estos mirrors, probarlos, ser de los primeros en dar feedback, puede escribirme y por mensaje les puedo decir como modificar las fuentes de software en sus Debian/Linuxmint/Slackware. Les recordamos que este servidor se sostiene con la colaboración de todos y todas así que si les interesa el proyecto y quieren apoyarlo, pueden colaborar económicamente de cualquiera de las formas disponibles en https://mastodon.uy/about #slackware #slackbuilds #mirror #undernet #uruguay #repositorios #repo #distro #soberania #linux #gnu #gnulinux
