It’s like standing in the middle of a bridge, the Levenshtein distance is the same no matter which way you look

NixOS user here! Fedora is a very good contender as well

Google […] a privacy disaster

One from a fellow student, who didn’t know about fork bombs and put one in his .bashrc, following “advice” from a friend, he never figured out how to fix it and just reinstalled

On my part, it was a server install of YunoHost that I broke by trying to setup an app to use the LDAP provider. Since I needed the YunoHost LDAP password, I messed with some files, broke the LDAP config, but it turns out everything in YunoHost uses LDAP. Including your own user and its associated privileges. So the server was entirely broken, and it was impossible to restore backups because the YunoHost restore tool was also botched by the config errors

Hey! I’m Bob Ross, and I would like to welcome you to the joy of not being sold anything

I tried dual-booting Manjaro from my Ubuntu install, since VMs were slow on my machine at the time and I wanted to give Manjaro a try.

Manjaro wouldn’t boot (X11 sessions crashes on boot), and then when I returned to Ubuntu, I got dropped straight to the GRUB rescue shell because I had shrunk the partition from the Manjaro installer, and it had fucked up the Ubuntu install :/ so instead of two OSes I had none

Le classement est impressionnant au niveau Européen, les seuls pays plus bas que la France sont l’Azerbaïdjan, l’Arménie, la Turquie et l’Ukraine

Pendant ce temps, nos voisins d’outre-Rhin sont confortablement installés en huitième position, nous sommes clairement à la traîne

You can create ad-hoc wireless networks in desktop mode, which should enable you to achieve that. Then, if your emulator supports netplay, with the two SDs connected to each other, you should be able to play by connecting to localhost

That’s in theory, in practice, we tried with a friend once, and his SD would just not connect to the ad-hoc network I had setup on mine

Sable always had a tendency to make the Deck heat up like crazy and burn through battery in no time, but otherwise it’s a great game to play in bed 😁

Merci bien !

Le plus drôle dans ce flot ininterrompu d’inepties, mensonges, raisonnements foireux, et consorts, c’est le fait qu’on y apprend que la République n’a aucune base légale… en s’appuyant sur un texte de loi pour le démontrer. Ça relève du chef-d’œuvre :o

For Flatpak apps, along with Warehouse, Flatseal allows you to view and edit permissions for each app, which is not only useful but sometimes mandatory when an app has misconfigured permissions

Je ne suis pas surpris par ce rapport, ayant réalisé mon parcours dans une école d’ingénieur spécialisée dans le numérique, ma promotion comportait 4% de femmes en première année, et le chiffre en sortie est plus faible encore

Le plus inquiétant restant le fait que les initiatives pour inciter les jeunes femmes à s’intéresser au numérique sont soit des assocs étudiantes, soit des primes financées par les GAFAMs, ce qui en dit long sur le niveau de parité dans ces milieux

I wanted to give Lineage a try, but I went traveling last July and installing a new ROM abroad really didn’t sound like a good idea, despite the EOL on my current ROM 😅

It’s really a shame that the /e/ ROMs don’t at least integrate the system patches from upstream, since they are indeed based on Lineage (just checked now), and Lineage still supports the Pixel 3a

I guess it might have to do with upkeeping their fork of the Lineage software, or their own launcher being incompatible with modern versions of Lineage

Had been on Calyx for a while, must say /e/ was definitely a better experience, haven’t tried anything else besides that

I think /e/ is forked from either Graphene or Lineage (not sure which one) but comes with a full FOSS suite of replacement apps that integrate with the Murena online services (can also use a regular Nextcloud instance)

It’a neat and tightly integrated out-of-the-box, worked really well on the 3a, but most apps sorta fell behind in terms of features in the long run compared to traditional FOSS apps, might also be due to lack of updates since the device is considered EOL

I’m looking into getting a Fairphone with iodéOS next, since my 3a doesn’t recieve updates anymore and the phone’s been agonizing from all the traveling haha

Running /e/OS on a Pixel 3a, only downside is thart system updates have stopped being distributed a while back. Otherwise very satisfied with the experience.

My pick has to be The Linux Experiment, especially his Open Source News Podcast that I listen to every week !
