Okay, here’s a shit story. I was doing a routine scan with ClamAV feb 4th. Out of nowhere it popped for a trojan. Thought it was a bit weird, probably a false positive. Nope. I discovered a weird .DLL in WINE, not in their repos, not something I installed. listed as .BRM for windows 6. I hashed it and ran it against everything I’d pulled from my .DLL files. I went digging and found the schroot under /run/ I took a look at the properties and the env showed 128.7TB of storage. The program I use with WINE requires network access to authenticate and because it was for audio production, it had access to my filesystem for samples.

Does anybody know of a European home security system (just a simple siren and motion sensor and an app) for when you’re away from home?

This is a question regarding the frontend framework Slint

Im looking for ways to increase my use of the terminal and so I want to have one around all the time without having to switch tabs. I have seen tiling window managers but I kinda don’t want to lose like windows snapping and such. Is there any way to attack a window to the taskbar in kde so that other programs won’t overlap it? I basically would like to have like 3 lines of a terminal across the bottom just above the start bar.

I am running Bluefin immutable distro and I would like to test Niri. I found on the net that the cleanest way is to use systemd-sysext and I have managed to install Niri using the community extensions.

I moved about a month ago and haven’t touched my pc a whole lot from before packing it away and finally getting around to unpacking it.

I used to be able to react to a post with the robot emoji: 🤖

This post got me thinking: on Discord we’ve been using “HammerTime tags” so the time in a message was being translated to everyone’s local time. Here it would, of course, necessitate everyone to set up their timezone in the settings but apart from that, I guess it could be doable too, right?

Most of us have some blinking, light-emitting, colorful devices attached to our potatoes - or whatever the minimum specs for Linux are these days, haven’t checked in a while.

I followed the written tutorial in the settings but I still don’t know if there’s Wapuro Romaji and often when I try to test the layout it snaps back to English or doesn’t seem to write any different from the english keyboard and if everything does work it seems to delegate individual Kana to keys & I’m not very comfortable with that way of typing.

Hello! First of all this is my first Lemmy post, so if I did anything wrong pls tell me!

have a brother laser printer. works well from windows. trying to print some 4x6 shipping labels. from firefox/ebay if that matters. default ubuntu. anyone one doing this reliably? setup?

Hi all, sorry if I post this the wrong place.

Is there a daemon that will kill any processes using above a specified % of CPU? I’m having issues where a system is sometimes grinding to a halt due to high CPU usage. I’m not sure what process is doing it (can’t htop as system is frozen); ideally I’d like a daemon that automatically kills processes using more than a given % of CPU, and then logs what process it was for me to look back on later. Alternatively something that just logs processes that use a given % of CPU so that I may look back on it after restarting the system.

I salvaged a Microsoft Surface Go gen 1 from the scrap pile and installed Linux on it. Most stuff seems to work ok but I can’t get screen rotation working in Gnome. I know its not a sensor issue because it works under plasma-mobile, and if I run monitor-sensor I can see its detecting mottion even under Gnome.

A while ago, I set up unattended-upgrades on my Debian 13 machines. Running sudo apt updatedoesn’t cross my mind now that I assume unattended-upgrades takes care of that for me, but every once in a while, I’ll try installing something and get the “Unable to locate package” errors associated with outdated repositories. After being made aware of having outdated repositories and packages, I’ll go and run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade on my other machines, only to be told that all packages are up to date and unattended-upgrades did do its job there. I don’t keep a record of this happening, but I also don’t recall there being any pattern to which of my machines are affected and which aren’t at any given time.

Quick update: I added some small but handy improvements to The Hideout:

Not sure how complex this might be to implement, but it might be good to look into fixing the issue of:

Recently I got into playing Cyberpunk 2077 and it’s a dx12 only game, no native vulkan support and need to be translated to vulkan which is bad because my framerate drop from 65fps to a merely 35-42fps because of dx12 bug, which is a lot of frames to lose. As soon as nvdia fix it or nvk driver caught up with nvdia proprietary driver I will remove win10. If you wondering why I have nvdia GPU because I only use laptop and an AMD laptop with the same power as nvdia is rare and even rarer in my country and also 2x more expensive. English is not my native language sorry if there’s any mistakes.

Finally got around to getting a cheap SIM to play around with secondary devices. I threw it into my Ubuntu Touch OnePlus Nord N10 for fun and was absolutely shocked to see that VoLTE worked and calls worked perfect! Last I looked VoLTE was still in heavy development and far off. This is awesome, and the biggest hurdle to daily driving UT in the USA as we can only call on VoLTE.

I’m looking into buying a projector.

Just came over from Reddit and found this community but noticed the ! in front of the name. Why is that there? It kinda makes it look like it’s impersonating another community. (Although the search doesn’t return anything else)

I have a TV which says it supports 4K 144Hz and right now I run an old laptop as a media server/desktop to it, which can only handle 1080p. I wish to switch to some NUC/mini-pc that run a linux desktop in 4K and run media flawlessly on it.

as title.

Do we have any Kiwix client that works on Linux phones?

As suggested by the title, I’ve noticed in the most recent version of PieFed that the “bring it on” option for Trump and Musk news doesn’t quite work…if you select that option, then you are asked on every login whether or not you would like to filter out Trump/Musk news, it only actually stops asking you if you select an option that applies a filter. If you apply no filter at all, you’re asked if you’d like to apply one on every login. This is different behaviour from previous versions so I just assumed that it was an unintentional change!

I distro hopped for a bit before finally settling in Debian (because Debian was always mentioned as a distro good for servers, or stable machines that are ok with outdated software)

Was wondering what tablets you run Linux on.

All the ones that keep getting recommended have a UI like a cockpit of a Boeing 747 (kdenlive, shotcut, openshot, DaVinci resolve) which is so overwhelming, all I want is just make some cuts, blur a face, or something on the screen, and maybe add some subtitles.

I’m working on moving away from MS Office. Installing LibreOffice was the easy part. However, I also need an alternative for online storage.

Hi everyone!

I created a community for beards !beards@piefed.social and couldn’t find a good category to put it in.

I have three Ethernet interfaces, namely eth[0…2]. eth0 is connected to my VPN router and eth1 and eth2 are connected to my public facing router. eth0 is the standard interface that I normally let my Linux instance use. I now want to set up a container that hijacks (makes unavailable to the host) eth1 or eth2 in order to run various services that need to be reachable from WAN through a Wireguard tunnel.

[Update: I went with CachyOS instead, it looks like a great option for gaming with general usage and has a really good wiki]

I got rid of my window from my secondary partition(gaming addiction) and now I have a 128 GB m.d. i have been running Linux mint for most of my Linux experience but want to try out something out side the traditional windows setup

After 4 years of using Fedora KDE as my main OS with 0 issues or drawbacks, my workplace is now requiring all computers to be on Windows 11. Any suggestions to make the transition back more bearable?

The onboarding will offer you a lot of topics to sign up to. These contain communities in them. The idea is to populate subscription feeds, however it can leave some users with a lot of undesired subscriptions if they click too many.

Hi, I think I’ve run out of keywords to hit Google with, so it’s time to ask for help.

I’m really loving PieFed but there’s one nagging thing that’s making it tough to fully switch over from Lemmy. I post a lot of news articles. The autofill works great but there are many news sites that fail every time – CBC, Tyee, The Atlantic, NYT, WaPo are a few examples (probably cloudflare issues). You can copy-paste the headline and subheading but no-go for the image. Lemmy solved this by having a separate field to either upload or link to a image. As it stands, probably ~40% of the articles I’d post just look bad in the feed without a possible fix. It’d be great to have a similar feature to resolve it.

The Hideout is a browser-based place to play social deduction games with friends or randoms.

I’m like any other European raised on the Internet: - my English accent is more American (guys is it hard to switch to a British one?) - learned English from American cartoons, games and websites - I know who the current and previous mayor of New York is for some reason - I know the American flavor of the month “thing" - Evening news from the national broadcaster regularly covers US news, or social media posts from prominent figures in the US (doesn’t do this for any other country with such regularity) - I know the Oscars are happening from media yet completely missed Cesars

I’ve got a Chromecast on which I have disabled Google Services and only use NewPipe and VLC from F-Droid.
