  • Finally done with the distro-hop: My return to Fedora

    Jump

  • I like fedora. I used it 20 years ago. I recently switched a laptop over to it, quickly realized atomic distros are kind of a PITA if you know how to linux and hopped off.

    It feels... mature? Clearly there's a lot of work that has gone into making fedora a "Set and Forget" experience, the normie distro... if you don't try to use it like a windows machine.

    If you want a machine that just works, doesn't bug you about just frankly stupid shit that's been solved already (looking at you kwallet), and feels like a computer that your grandma could check her email on without feeling like she's starting the falcon's hyperdrive, Fedora Atomic Silverblue is the distro for you.

    I am not a shill. I don't use fedora on any of my machines currently (unless you include my partner's bazzite rig, I don't, personally). I don't plan to use fedora on anything currently, but the next time I get a laptop that's meant to be "Just a fuckin computer", you bet your ass I'm going straight to Fedora Atomic Silverblue.

  • Please, break containment. A dose of reality might get them to get some help.

  • Aim for step 2.5 and be the middle guy but hosting it all on a retired PC in the closet. It's almost like step 3.

    Alternatively, I guess you could use a VPS but those can get expensive quick.

  • I converted my gaming machine into a server a while back. I like to live dangerously though, no proxmox. Baremetal. If my blog is slow, sorry y'all, I'm gaming. Deal with it.

  • For a lot of purposes, an old slow system is great. Craigslist (if you're in a country that has it, otherwise use your local equivalent) is a great place to find super cheap old equipment to build server infrastructure from. Thrift shops too, I regularly find old UPSs that just need a new lawnmower battery chucked in to work at my local thrift shop, they charge like $10 for em. Usually found near power strips.

  • [FreeBSD/Plasma6] Simple, Classic, Clean

    Jump

  • If I can be totally honest, the Plasma theme "Expose Metallic" by kde community contributor 'phob1an' is doing a LOT of the heavy lifting here. It themes the window decorations, the task switcher, and the application launcher.

    I applied some tweaks with Kvantum Manager to remove transparency in some areas that felt out of place.

    The Konsole Frame is just that, the "Konsole Frame" widget from the built in widget store. It adopted the silver window border automatically, which actually surprised me somewhat.

    All Qt6 apps should adopt the theming automatically, but ymmv depending on the ecosystem you've deployed.

  • Which search engine do you use for what?

    Jump

  • I use a selfhosted OmniSearch instance. It's a metasearch provider, supplying links from ddg, mojeek, startpage and yahoo.

    It's fine. It's mega private and has no built in AI tools, which is what I care most about.

    The creator has requested that their code not be mirrored to any proprietary platforms. It is availible at https://git.bwaaa.monster/

    Simple to configure and if you desire to rebrand or restyle it, it's as simple as changing the HTML and CSS.

  • Yes. Definitely one of those.

  • Arch Linux AUR Under Another Wave Of Malicious Packages - Package Adoptions Halted

    Jump

  • This is getting really old. Can these dorks please do something valuable with their time? Maybe contribute (positively) to society a little?

    (and no I don't consider teaching arch users to be more responsible with their package management a positive contribution to society)

  • Oh no, I accidentally posted an image from which someone could potentially figure out my name! It would be a shame if someone searched me up and found my blog, which is the only other thing on the whole internet with my name attached as far as I know. Please no Doxxing. I'd delete the image but like, it's already federated out, there's no stopping it now.

  • Looks like I'm gonna need to burn a windows 7 iso to grab the feature, it's not on 8+ according to the linked doc. I'll try to manually install it when I get my HT cpu installed in a few weeks. I do unfortunately need windows 10 on this device if it's gonna run windows at all, its at the literal furthest point from my router in my home that it can be so it needs wifi, and the only wifi card I have is an AX200 which only supports win10/11 and *nix..... I wonder if I could install the driver with Subsystem for Unix...

  • They're really not anymore, but bbLean and it's cousins are still floating around and still work, at least on windows 10.

  • This CPU is incapable of virtualization, no hypervisor means no WSL/WS...U?

  • I will be going further.

    I'm getting a pentium 4-HT and a BIG ram upgrade for the machine soon. I'm gonna rip this Windows install apart and put it back together with bits I actually like. I wanna see how far it can go.

  • I know this is technically off topic because it's windows, but like, it was done in the spirit of unixporn.

    Hope my shitpost is ok, love y'all.
