Static_Rocket, in What is going on with /sys/kernel/notes ?
@Static_Rocket@lemmy.world avatar

There’s a bunch of other data being printed aside from the usual printable characters. Run it through strings if you want something human readable.

As to what that extra data is… I actually don’t know off hand. Let’s see if the mailing list has any info…

MrOzwaldMan, in I finally nuked windows

8 gigs of update after leaving for 6 months is a sensible thing to occur. I don’t know why it is a thing to be enraged by.

I mean, if you don’t update an OS and you come back to check go updates, it will pile on to become a huge update like the 8 gigs.

Lastly, don’t distrohop because it is not there, there is always something that exists that can give you what you want.

It’s called Compositor Hand-offs, it’s coming in the future and is Wayland only.
It’s likely going to be in Plasma 6 release.
Restoring application state isn’t the only thing it does either. It also allow for graceful crash recovery, true-full-poweroff hibernation and hot-swapping supported compositors.

s38b35M5, in Terrapin Attack – SSH vulnerability
@s38b35M5@lemmy.world avatar

I can’t believe its already been almost thirty years since SSH was created! Time to further harden your servers and clients by removing (now) insecure KEX algos.

Please note that if you do this then some older devices will stop working. (cough Cisco cough)

Aties, in Getting a Server Running - SteamOS - Best Path Forward?

I have it fully operational on my actual server machine running Ubuntu,

Was this difficult? Sorry to hijack, but I hadn’t really considered doing this but now I’m intrigued lol

Russianranger,

It’s pretty easy honestly. The community devs do a good job of making it fairly straightforward. You can slap it on windows, Linux, or docker, and as long as you aren’t facing an immutable file system OS, it’s really easy. Ubuntu/Debian work best with the Linux install.

mindbleach, in Reddit API blew up and now I run Linux?

Now see if “programming socks” do anything for you.

MargotRobbie, in Reddit API blew up and now I run Linux?

Speak for yourself, I first got on Lemmy to promote a movie, and the next thing I know, I was using Arch (BTW) and moderating an Android community.

I’m still not quite sure how that happened. This place.

chronicledmonocle, in PCVR on Nobara KDE?

I’m just waiting for Valve to support their new Quest SteamVR app with Linux hosts. Once they do I can destroy my Windows 256gb install with impunity.

Grass,

Damn when I saw the update news for it I was hoping it had linux support especially considering the amount of other Linux stuff valve has going on. I feel ripped off…

chronicledmonocle,

An engineer at Valve said they’re working on Linux support for it, so it’s definitely something they’ve got their eye on.

Grass,

That’s good. VR on Lennox has been unsexy so far

Bitflip, in "Must Try" distros and DEs?

Forget a DE, sounds like you need a WM. Definitely check out some tiling options like i3 or sway, especially since you spend so much time in the terminal.

Suspend to RAM / hibernate already does that?

Bitrot, (edited ) in How to update the BIOS on a Dell laptop running Linux
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

fwupd can install from exe using the Dell script in github.com/fwupd/fwupd/tree/…/firmware_packager

However that model is supported natively too: fwupd.org/lvfs/…/com.dell.uefi3b49e316.firmware

IE: install gnome-firmware from flatpak or native package manager and it can do the whole thing, no need to download some exe.

z00s,
Pantherina,

Best comment. This solves two cases at once.

HumanPerson, in "Must Try" distros and DEs?

Opensuse tumbleweed, kde

taladar, in saving and restoring arbitrary sessions including terminal and GUI --- impossible?

What you want sounds like you need something CRIU based where the whole processes are saved and restored. Not sure that is worth it though as it would be rather inflexible if you want the slightest changes in the application state.

BurntKrispe, in "Must Try" distros and DEs?

Fedora rawhide’s an interesting bleeding edge experience. I’d recommend installing fedora minimal and setting up your system from there. The rpm system’s rather robust when it comes to installing the correct dependencies when done correctly so I personally haven’t had any issues with version conflicts.
