phx, in What's the best way to remote into a linux machine?

xrdp tends to work well enough, and plays nicely with both the windows remote desktop application and various Linux clients

It also doesn’t require a session to be logged in at the local console.

phx,

Yeah that’s true. I think some VNC options can start at the DM login screen but that’s a passion to setup and may not be overly secure

CraigeryTheKid,

I honestly thought this was the default/classic answer, and am surprised at how far down it was.

I too just started Linux 2 weeks ago, and my search results led me to xrdp on host, and remmina on client.

If xrdp works well enough, NoMachine us blazing fast in comparison. Have you given it a try?

phx,

Once but it was a long time ago

shutz, in web/low memory alternatives to Krita and GIMP please

Have you tried photopea.com ? I dunno if it’s light enough for you, but it’s basically Photoshop in your browser, done in JavaScript.

yes of course!! Thank you! But I also want a web app for drawing, Photopea is mostly for image editing.

I’m not sure what you mean. Artists use Photoshop for drawing, yet Adobe advertises Photoshop mostly for image editing. Even though Adobe advertises Photoshop for image editing, which should include fully editing your own photographs imo, the only proper Denoise AI is built into Lightroom lol. Photopea also supports pressure sensitivity, so it should work just fine for drawing. Tools aren’t that big of a deal. People who design beautiful presentation decks use PowerPoint after all… with the default system fonts.

restlessyet, in What's an elegant way of automatically backing up the contents of a large drive to multiple smaller drives that add up to the capacity of the large drive?

I ran into the same problem some months ago when my cloud backups stopped being financially viable and I decided to recycle my old drives. For offline backups mergerfs will not work as far as I understand. Creating tar archives of 130TB+ also doesnt sound like a good option. Some of the tape backup solutions looked to be possible options, but are often complex and use special archive formats…

I ended up writing my own solution in python using json state files. It’s complete enough to run the backup, but otherwise very work-in-progress with no restore at all. So I do not want to publish it.

If you find a suitable solution I am also very interested 😅

Git annex can do that and keep track of which drive the files are on.

Before doing anything, if your screen allows it, swap DP to HDMI or HDMI to DP as output, that may fix this to the point of being able to actually boot and further fix the issue.

I've had this before with drivers where suddenly it would fail on either port but would still run on one of the others.

Might do kind of what you want.

Shit’s broke yo.

Sleep/wake issues with AMD gpu and platform drivers are super, super, super common. Fish back through your kernel journal after a reboot (journalctl -kb -1 should do it) and look for the driver errors immediately after the wake event. If this has been fixed in a later kernel release then update your kernel, if not go report it to either the Ubuntu folks or on the amdgpu gitlab.

Linux and open source in general completely blow apart capitalist arguments that profit motive is necessary for innovation and technological advancement. Open source ecosystem primarily run by volunteers has produces some of the most interesting and innovative technologies that we’ve seen. The reality is that people make interesting things because they’re curious and they enjoy making stuff. Pretty much nobody makes anything interesting with profit being the primary motive.

zabadoh,

I disagree somewhat.

A lot of high tech development comes with a greed motive, e.g. IPO, or getting bought out by a large company seeking to enter the space, e.g. Google buying Android, or Facebook buying Instagram and Oculus.

And conversely, a lot of open source software are copies of commercially successful products, albeit they only become widely adopted after the originals have entered the enshittified phase of their life.

Is there a Lemmy without Reddit? Is there a Mastodon without Twitter? Is there LibreOffice without Microsoft Office and decades of commercial word processors and spreadsheets before that? Or OpenOffice becoming enshittified for that matter? Is there qBittorrent without uTorrent enshittified? Is there postgreSQL without IBM’s DB2?

The exception that I can see is social media and networked services that require active network and server resources, like Facebook YouTube, or even Dropbox and Evernote.

Okay, The WELL is still around and is arguably the granddaddy of all online services, and has avoided enshittification, but it isn’t really open source.

yogthos,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

The idea that these things wouldn’t exist without commercial analogs is silly. You do realize that things like BBS boards and IRC existed long before commercial social media platforms right? In fact, we might’ve seen things like social media evolve in completely different directions if not for commercial platforms setting standards based on attracting clicks, and monetizing users.

robot_dog_with_gun,

all the for profit things we use are worse because they are for profit.

most of the time a site or service UI is made worse it’s because AB testing found the worse UI wastes user’s time and the metrics read that as engagement.

yogthos,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Exactly, most of the bloat on commercial sites isn’t there for the benefit of the user, but rather in order to monetize them. It’s ads, trackers, metrics, and all the other garbage that you don’t actually want.

FaeDrifter,

capitalist arguments that profit motive is necessary for innovation and technological advancement

I don’t know who is arguing this because it’s incredibly stupid. The greatest scientific minds of history, the mathematicians, the physicists, the inventors, were not capitalists, they’re people with passion for their work.

If we move to a society that guarantees basic human needs and good education, we’re only going to have more scientists and engineers that progress technology even faster.

agent_flounder,

And while we are at it… novelists, poets, painters, musicians, philosophers, …

Thorned_Rose,
@Thorned_Rose@kbin.social avatar

Capitalists argue this because it gives them the appearance of a moral high ground.

Eshittification shows how untrue this - capitalism by its very nature will always devolve into worse and worse offerings because it's reliant on squeezing out ever more profit.

Capitalism will only ever puh out the bare minimum of technological advancement. And keeping people in indentured labour (aka employees) to the capitalist system so that they either have no time to come up with innovations themselves or they own the intellectual property of any indentured workers means that the overwhelming majority of innovation is monopolised by capitalism too. Which also contributes to the appearance of pushing advancement.

ThereRisesARedStar,

Also without open source the capitalist tech sector would collapse

governorkeagan, in Super weird error, what's happening?

Have you tried booting in with a live usb? You might be able to do some sort of recovery from there.

Having said, I’m still very much a Linux noob.

Aggravationstation, in Debian Likely Moving Away From i386 In The Near Future

I’ve always kept a 32 bit Debian ISO on my Ventoy drive just in case.

Would be a shame if they stopped supporting it but I’d put dyne:bolic on my drive which was the first distro I ever used.

TCB13, (edited ) in LXD now re-licensed and under a CLA
@TCB13@lemmy.world avatar

I just see a problem here:

I perfectly understand, approve and back this move, however I’ve a question about the current state of things and specifically Debian 12 users. Debian includes LXD LTS 5.0.2 on their repositories and that version will be still be around after 2024/05 and trying to use the image server. Debian won’t likely change stable to include Incus until 2025, what’s the suggested path here?

No more secrets sounds like it fits the bill

ICastFist, in Redox OS - an OS built entirely out of Rust
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

How long would it take to compile their Rust microkernel alone compared to a similar one done in C? There are many posts around the web complaining about Rust’s long compile times, though thankfully rarely as slow as C++
