  • Linux is awesome at home, but aren't y'all forced to use Windows at work?

    Jump

  • I ran Linux at work up until recently where I found out that they are in the process of changing the network setup, so only systems with a valid certificate can access the network. And they have no plan to support Linux in that setup. So I was kind of forced to switch back to Windows, because my work requires that I can access the local network.

    Other than that, I used Linux in a Microsoft Entra/Intune environment with Edge, Teams and Office 365 for a couple of years.

  • The (successful) end of the kernel Rust experiment

    Jump

  • This means that drivers written in Rust will have just a good a chance to be accepted as drivers written in C?

  • What folders do you make in addition to the default ones ?

    Jump

  • I usually create ~/git/{github,gitlab,codeberg,AUR,etc} where I clone the git stuff I need.

    The rest is usually handled by my nextcloud that creates the ~/Nextcloud folder.

  • I really dislike LLMs/AI but.......

    Jump

  • I sometimes use LLM's to help me troubleshoot. I usually don't ask for solutions, but rather "what is wrong here?" type stuff.

    has often saved me hours of troubleshooting, but it is occasionally wrong and sees flaws where there is none.

  • [Answered] Video players that look like IINA, or can?

    Jump

  • Joke answer: get the IINA devs to release a Linux build.

    More seriously: MPV is pretty close and might even be able to be configured to what you want. But seriously though. Sounds like you need/want exactly this UI, so you should ask the IINA devs to make a Linux build.

  • Removed Locked

    Does anyone know how to make the Arch text bigger?

  • Removed Locked

    Does anyone know how to make the Arch text bigger?

    Jump

  • i just noticed that the “make text bigger” shortcut that works for my mac terminal didn’t work with arch

    That's because in MacOS it's a terminal emulator, a GUI application with a CLI inside.

    In Arch, if you didn't install a desktop environment, the terminal is the raw TTY, not an emulator, so it does not have reszing/zoom options.

    But as @anon5621@lemmy.ml mentioned, you can set the font of the TTY to a bigger font using the setfont command.

  • Do people with newer pcs prefer rolling release?

    Jump

  • Good point. Yes. Small breakage means it's easier to fix. Although, the years I've run my rolling release system, I've had it break maybe one of two times. Easily fixed. Both of those was because there was a change that needed a manual intervention, which I did not read about until after, so those were my own fault.

  • Do people with newer pcs prefer rolling release?

    Jump

  • I use a rolling release for mainly 3 reasons.

    1. Faster access to new (shiny) software/applications. Flatpak and the like could solve this for LTS distros.
    2. Security updates come faster and smoother.
    3. Less chance of an update breaking things. Lots of small and frequent updates, instead of rare and large update packs/stacks.

  • really happy with my kick plate illumination

    Jump

  • I would love to do something like this, also for a mirror backlight, but my bathroom only has 1 outlet, placed in a cubbard above the sink. I can't get anything from there, unless I want wires all over my bathroom walls and some long ones at that.

  • Awesome-web - Alternative fronted for awesome-selfhosted

    Jump

  • Very Nice and very clean interface!

    Good job!

  • QNAP TR-002 detected, shows as unallocated - guidance on possible resolutions

    Jump

  • I've read that Qnap is often using ZFS as the storage filesystem. If your bazzite does not have the tools installed to work with that, then it will probably show as unallocated or unknown.

  • Wake Up Babe, New Connect ZBT Just Dropped

    Jump

  • Still have a ConBee 2 for zigbee and it works fine in my house. Although I do have a fair amount of smart plugs, that act as repeaters, around the house.

  • [Solved] Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns

    Jump

  • Sure, but until their DNS records update, the server is unreachable at the domain address.

  • [Solved] Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns

    Jump

  • As someone else mentioned, this does not seem to be an issue with the DynDNS itself. But rather the fact that your ISP changes your IP regularly (DHCP, non-static IP). I would really recommend you get a static IP from your ISP. DNS lookups should never fail after that.

  • [Help] display managers with transparent backgrounds, showing the desktop itself?

    Jump

  • Display managers handles sessions. A "desktop" is a session and if none are started yet, how can it display it?

    Lockscreen and display managers are two different things. They are not the same and does not have the same functionality.

  • on debian 13.1 I just updated yt-dlp to stable@2025.11.12 but I still cannot download videos. What am I doing wrong?

    Jump

  • The reason this might work is that some shells, like zsh, interpretes the questionmark in the URL as a function of some sort, making the URL invalid to yt-dlp.

  • Why do so many services require email configuration?

    Jump

  • Ghost needs emails for a couple of reasons.

    1. (Required) Ghost does not do user passwords. They use magtic links, which they send out via email when signing in. It's just how they have chosen to do it. You can ask them why they don't want to save passwords.

    2. (Optional) Ghost has a newsletter function. If you enable it, you need to setup a bulk email service, like Mailgun. Even regular SMTP won't really work there. It can send out a newsletter everytime a blog post is published, so the members will get notified.

    I recently had to do this email dance with a Ghost instance setup, where most of the email ports are blocked on the network. I know how you feel. I also wanted to just use passwords, but not currently possible with Ghost.

    Other services might do the same as Ghost. I do host many services, that does not require email setup though.

  • Why does Krita not use my Plasma scheme?

    Jump

  • It does not, because you are using a "sandboxed" version (flatpak), so it does not really know what themes/colors are available.
