signalsayge, in Linux empowered coffee, a must have.

Just make sure it’s RFC 2324 compliant. You don’t want it throwing any HTTP 418 error messages.

Nibodhika,

I came to post exactly this!

poweruser,

TIL about error 418:

“I’m a teapot This server is a teapot, and it cannot brew coffee.”

Apparently it was originally added as an April fools joke way back in 1998 but technically it is a valid error message that sites can actually use!

themusicman,

Sites can use anything - they’re just numbers ¯_(ツ)_/¯

+1 for asciiquarium

I set up a progressive backup of my home folder… to my home folder. By the time I got home that day it was impossible to log in because there was no room to create a login record. Had to fix that by deleting the backup file using a live CD.

Fly-Pie is a good one! Also the same person makes modern versions of Burn My Windows, Desktop Cube and other such things.

CrabAndBroom,

Several of them are on the KDE store now too!

I had issues with a new version of glibc that prevented me from working on music in Ardour on Manjaro. I then proceeded to force-downgrade glibc (in the hopes of letting me get back to work) and that broke sudo and some other things, which I found out after rebooting. That was an interesting learning experience. Now I snapshot before I do stupid stuff. :]

I recently broke the networking stack by uninstalling ca-certificates

I was using a slightly risky command to delete unneeded packages, and for some reason ca-certificates was on the list

At least the fix was simple. Boot the rescue iso and reinstall them

One day on my main Arch installation I created a container inside a directory, and “booted” into it by using systemd-nspawn. When I was done with it I decided to do a rm -rf / inside the container just to be funny. Then I noticed that my DE on the host froze and I couldn’t do anything. Then I realized that systemd-nspawn mounts some important host’s directories on the container, and I deleted those when I did the rm -rf /. I didn’t lose anything, but it was scary.

Finally doing what they should have done ages ago. If you leave packaging and backporting work to distro maintainers, you’ll get whatever they have the time for, whether they’re volunteers or employees. If the results are not okay for you - package it yourself.

sabreW4K3, in Is Ubuntu deserving the hate?
@sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf avatar

I loved Unity. Also, I would argue that both Snap and Flatpak are bad. That said, be happy with whatever works for you. Ubuntu always gives me problems, whereas Fedora runs smooth. That said Ubuntu can read my old Passports, Fedora can’t. They each have the benefits.

iopq,

Flatpak is good because I don’t need to check whether the program is available for my distro.

Before: click Linux icon. They offer a .deb and maybe .rpm

Now: click Linux icon, they tell you how to get it on flathub

And it’s probably available on my distro too, but why bother? Didn’t even search it

The beauty of Linux, at least for me, is that there’s inter-dependability and so you can run apps using less space than you would on Windows. Linux is like a metaphor for society, if your neighbour has something you need, they should share and vice versa. But alas, some twats with a Windows fetish decided to introduce the likes of Flatpak and Snap 🤮

iopq,

Then you don’t use it, THAT is the beauty of Linux

Loucypher,

Yeah I guess it really comes down to that.

tanuki, in What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?

The first time I wanted to try Linux I did by installing elementary OS in dual boot mode (with windows) and everything went well, I played with it a bit and then I returned to Windows…

So, few days after that I realize that I have a lot of space in the Linux partition and I didn’t have plans to use it anymore so I go to drive’s & partition’s manager on windows to delete my elementary OS partition…

Oh Lord when I restarted my PC, grub was showing nonsenses and I couldn’t boot on windows again, I was in panic, I spent the rest of the day trying to fix grub to boot windows. At the end of the day I did it and save all my files and I uninstall grub properly, but what a day 😂

fruitycoder, in The Linux Experiment Channel (From Nick) is on Peertube, and it federates right into Lemmy as a community

Now this is what I am talking about! Just get lemmy/kbin/etc to support embedded video from peertube at least and we are getting closer to the decentralized everything app!

Scraft161,
@Scraft161@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

I love how musk is trying to make X the everything app all on his centralized network, and here we are building a decentralized everything network with dozens of open platforms and good 3rd party clients outpacing whatever musk is trying to cook.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

Free market at work, imo, Musk can cry all he wants about advertisements, but here we are supported entirely by donations

fruitycoder,

Other integration point, but I’m less sure. Syncing peertube accounts with other instances, so my subscriptions can follow me and my comment/threads can too!

fruitycoder,

Also, the comments don’t seem to be syncing correctly between the peertube video and the community post. Peertube apparently supports using accounts from other fediverse instances, but it failed for this account I am using now.

ChaosAD,

Yeah, seems the integration with Lemmy isn’t going very well for comments. Might be worth to post an issue to the git repo.

fruitycoder,

Already made luckly github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3837 i just found it today though

ChaosAD,

Oddly my comment to the video federated correctly now. Maybe it is related to the recent fixed issue?

I’ve literally done the rm -rf / thing. I thought I was in a different subdirectory, but I was in / and did rm -rf .

When it didn’t return after half a second, I looked at the command again and hit CTRL+C about 20 times in the span of 3 seconds.

I had to rebuild the install, but luckily didn’t lose anything in /home.

AapoL, in Error when installing AMDGPU drivers on Fedora

Ok, update. I removed some improper repos that the amdgpu-install had installed and I got things mostly working. Only problem is that rendering in Blender on GPU crashes it and I can’t seem to get good logs for the problem. I will try to get some logs and post them here.

Have you tried disabling secure boot in the bios

CaptKoala,

My windows did this to me while I was dual booting with Mint, re-enabled secure boot when I went back to windows to check a wiki real quick.
