I want it to be over here

Hello, I have been trying to get my drivers to play more nice with my hardware. When I originally installed Arch, it automatically installed the nouveau driver which mostly worked. However I was having issues with some windows rendering with big white boxes and a couple random crashes of the OS.

I added a rule to accept connections from 192.168.1.135/24, since my router is configured to hand out /24 addresses. Then, iptables -L -v showed that connections from 192.168.1.0/24 are accepted. When I change the rule to accept connections from .135/32 - or from .135 without specifying the subnet -, it not only works as intended, but it also resolves the hostname correctly.

im a windows user myself,i dont like linux nor use it. but i did use it before (pop os).

I tried SimpleX around two years ago, but it didn’t support multi device support back then.

Change my mind.

Hi guys! I’m considering some tool to edit the texts and images within a PDF. What would be some decent recommendations? So far I think the only with a semblance of working has been Libreoffice Draw, but it messed the formatting quite a lot (the arrangement is very much off in many pages, the text splits incorrectly, some images pop up duplicated and so on). But so far it’s the only one I’ve seen actually allowing me to play with the PDF contents. Are there any other/better options?

My biggest gripe about the default GNOME settings. Are there any sickos that use black text on white?

Whether it’s SimpleX, Signal, or even Protonmail, why do so many tech normies seem so averse to anything “encrypted.”

I have some old HFS formatted burned CDs burning in toast on a classic mac. A friend needs his stuff moved off these backups onto his NAS but his modern mac cannot read these CDs. I can mount them in linux manually but the filenames have illegal characters so I cannot copy them over to anything without losing like half of them.

I want to switch to a Lineage OS on my Tab S7 SM-T870. I can get Clip Studio Paint from Aurora on my Lineage phone (Pixel 1) but want to know if it runs on the Tablet before I make the switch. Has anyone done this, noticed a difference?

Hey,

As someone who downloads or buys their music to listen to via VLC, it’s quite annoying when the volume level between files aren’t consistent. Especially when I’m unable to easily to change the volume like when I’m doing physical labor as an example. So it can go from a perfectly reasonable volume, to damaging my ears, and then to where I can barely hear. I was thinking of going in and manually editing them myself to be consistent amongst each other at some point, but then it got me thinking. Is there an application that will equalize the volume on your audio files for you? If not, would anyone else have a use for one besides me? I’d love to know either way.

I bought a nice sweater from the ESA merch store and now I’m looking for more euro-centric apparel. Give me your recommendations, it can be from any EU country and doesn’t have to be state sponsored, but it should be official, no bootlegging. I’m really open to a wide variety of suggestions. European companies, institutions, even will known brands, if it’s clearly European I’m interested.

Piefed currently has anonymous — or more accurately, pseudonymous, voting.

I am using rust, but this applies to many other languages, I get warnings like, dead code, unused variables, and etc, and while I remove most of them, there are some im not sure of, I like running my program and there being 0 warnings, or 0 warnings as i scroll down my code, so for things im unsure of, i mark them so the compiler doesn’t put warnings there. I also add comments, starting with TODO:, it has some information about what to think about when i revisit it, also the todo’s gets highlighed in my IDE with my extension, but is this bad practice?

I used to distro hop frequently before Linux was almost supported by many things. I preferred Fedora derivatives but Ubuntu pushed those out in the dev space. I switched to Arch because it was funny then a few years ago switched to EndeavorOS because it was easy. I currently can’t get things like OBS to work smoothly (when my display sleeps, screen captures have to be deleted and rebuilt), sharing my screen with basically any tool is a nightmare, and I’m just kinda tired of compiling fixes and deeply configuring. I’m spoiled by the work experience on a Mac where all of this stuff works and it’s POSIX compliant.

How I could get a #LibreELEC Image into a #LXC or #VM container and AutoStart it on boot without interaction?

Is there a tool that automates transferring of blocks from a Lemmy account to a Piefed account? I’m one of those people that curates All and have thousands of blocked communities so it’s not feasible to manually transfer that.

If you’re not aware of what preload is, it’s a command line application that allows you to add files to ram, so they can be accessed faster by the applications that need them.

I’m trying to find a place where you can ask broader development questions, not just specific error messages.

I have an old Sony Vaio laptop that I’m trying to get Mint Xfce to work on. I needed to use compatibility mode when originally booting from the USB in case that’s relevant.

I’m moving soon and we’ve been using a Ring alarm and I no longer want that for obvious reasons. I do however like the functionality like mobile network, battery backup and remote access into it.

Found two great posts on how to take some precautions when using the Arch User Repository. To whom it may concern.

Hello, anyone here has coreboot or any distribution like libreboot? I think of buying something compatible. I mainly make music in reaper with few plugins, browse internet, sometimes do graphic design and sometimes play left 4 dead 2 and games like that. I use artix linux. If you have done this could you share your experience? What to look for?

I haven’t been able to update my OS for a few weeks now. I’m getting error messages anytime the system updates in the background, and when I do it manually, it shows following error:

What are some nice PeerTube channels (or others that are not Youtube)?

The one thing puts me off Piefed is the UI. I tried the different available themes, but outside of Irix - 1998, nothing felt right. Irix - 1998 itself is too bright, so i tried it with dark reader but it still feel off put

hehe, so … if you ever change the hostname of a Linux machine, you really really ought to double-check /etc/hosts to make the same hostname change there

I have an donated Gen 1 Pixel phone so that I can experiment trying a new OS on it. I use linux mint on my laptop but still consider myself a beginner. The goal is to eventually do this to my main phone (A galaxy S8) but I wanted to get a feel for how to do it. I’m stuck on the OS, I only use the phone as a clock, texting, and occasionally a call. Internet isn’t a huge deal but it’d be nice in a pinch. I’m looking for an OS that’s easy to use, privacy & security. Any recommends/guides?

I am trying to write my own string.h functions, my library currently have no dependicies and 11 functions completed. Has basic and readable code to understand. Small binary size. Freely distributable with BSD-3-Clause license. Have a look: mstrutils

Sometimes, there are moments in life then you feel loosing control over your life, when there is to much on a plate and all this overwhelms you, makes you anxious. For me, solution always was to use kind of “get things done” tools, to organize myself. I tried enormous amount of todo apps, even bought a paper todo, but this wasn’t enough this time. Every restriction in functionality, every missed feature made me feel I’m loosing control again. And one moment I gave up and decided it is time to make my own tool and make it right (in my understanding), i.e . a todo that is highly customazible and instead of hardcoded features can have any you want. Despite todo app is an anecdote and there are thousands of them, same as with an edit tool microsoft it is quite a challenging task to make a really good one.

I’m not sure if this is being worked on or has already been suggested, but this seems to be a feature missing from Piefed. I personally used to use it when I was on Lemmy but haven’t been able to on Piefed. I understand if this is difficult to implement but I feel like it would be a good security feature that seems to oddly be missing from Piefed.

I recently switched database solution for my hobby project from Microsoft Azure to Scaleway. I did this purely out of ideological conviction and I was even prepared to pay a bit more for a European service.

Hi, not sure where else to post this on the Fediverse, if there is a better community let me know and I will move this post there :)

I just read how someone on RetroArch tries to improve documentation by using Copilot. But not in the sense as we might think. His approach is to let Copilot read the documentation and give him follow-up question a hypothetical developer might have. This also could be extended to normal code I guess, to pretend it being a student maybe and have it ask questions instead generating or making changes? I really like this approach.

Tried Connect since I used it for Lemmy, but no luck, keeps giving me “The page your browser tried to load could not be found” error when I try to log in.

My current rig is featuring an I7 10th gen and a nvidia 4070ti. Is there a distro that you recommend me to use as a linux beginner that is also good for gaming and streaming, that will work with my pc parts? Because I heard that intel and nvidia are famous for causing issues on Linux.

Hi, everyone!
