I’m between distros and looking for a new daily driver for my laptop. What are people daily driving these days? Are there any new cool things to try?...
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
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
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

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
Thank you so much, comrades! I am feeling pretty comfortable with linux mint, and now would like some suggestions for some absolutely necessary FOSS or free license software for the OS. So far I have the standard, Firefox, ThunderBird, LibreOffice, yada yada. Thank you again to everyone on the linux comm! sankara-salute
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
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.
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
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
I’m using the Test Flight beta app, curious on others’ overall experience with the platform so far. I never had an Instagram account so I’m not really sure yet what I even want from it. I’m just excited on all things Fediverse and I’m happy to be part of the growing numbers....
Been running my own instance for a couple months now, just for me and my friends, so that they would stop sharing private pictures on platforms that would process/sell the data. But, as always when it comes to new, privacy-respecting tools, I’m having the hardest time making them move to the platform, despite the fact that the Pixelfed instance itself has been running smoothly.
My first idea was to have the instance locked behind the YunoHost auth, since Pixelfed supports LDAP.
But I could not manage to make the LDAP work, so I went instead with a public instance that has ActivityPub disabled and all posts set to “Followers Only”.
People could also set each of their accounts to “Private”, but the follow requests were not working when I first set up the instance.

[Question] Does the steamdeck/emudeck support wireless multiplayer?
Are there games out there similar to how the PSP and the 3/DS had local multiplayer? Can a emudeck emulate psp games and local multiplayer?
What are your favourite casual games on the steam deck?
I’m looking for some recommendations for the upcoming sale. We all know Vampire Survivors, but what other games can you recommend?
