possiblylinux127, in Videos stuttering across all applications

Do you know what changed a month ago. It sounds like maybe a hardware issue or a bad update.

Lars,

I had moved to a new house but my setup is the same as it was prior. I run updates regularly but I’m pretty sure the issue started after moving and before updating

mvirts, (edited ) in Wifi stopped showing in linux mint

I would check for kernel logs from the iwlwifi driver. If there is nothing in dmesg about it failing, maybe see if newer firmware is available for your device?

allywilson, in Happy 1704067200 seconds since 1970

Wait, there’s a GNU Epoch as well?

SteveTech, (edited )

I don’t believe so, I think OP just misremembered 1970.

The 1704067200 is the 2024 new year, in seconds from 1970 (normal Unix time).

nope, i just put the image because why not

allywilson,

Because UNIX Epoch starts 1970, not 1975 is why I mentioned it.

phorq,

You forgot to take into account leap years or as I’ve come to call them the leaping gnu/years

GNU-Epoch is not the UNIX-Epoch.

Spore, in What are your opinions of Guix?

Nobody has mentioned that Guix is readily available on NixOS right now? Add a line to your config and it’s ready to go. Compatible with everything else.

velox_vulnus,

How about the other way around? I want to switch to Guix, but I want to keep using Nixpkgs for the time being?

Spore,

You can use Nix on Guix System and vice versa, but it’s like installing them as a package manager on a foreign system. The store and packages currently are completely isolated between the two, although there’s a very early plan for a common store interface.

Buck, in Terminal Utility Mega list!

I much prefer the links browser over lynx nowadays links.twibright.com

Steamymoomilk,

added to the list! i honestly thought you wrote down lynx again. but i reread it for the 3rd time and realized its not the same program LOL. name schemes,

RegalPotoo, in Is DNS Bloat too?

Tbh, if you can’t tap out Ethernet frames with a Morse key and decode the response by watching the blinking of an LED wired to the RX pair then you really don’t deserve to be on the internet. Git Gud.

mvirts, in What are your opinions of Guix?

I haven’t gnused it, I probably won’t unless I stop using nixos. I haven’t looked into it much, how different from nixos is guix?

Spore,

Fyi, it’s now available on nixos.

CanadaPlus, (edited )

Moderately. Same rough idea, with a few other things in the blend. For example, I found it via GNU Shepard, which it uses, while Nix sounds like it just uses systemd. The Guix package manager will also compile things from source with custom options if it needs.

smileyhead, in Make Inkscape installed through Flatpak callable in the terminal as 'inkscape'?

You can do an alias for the shell you use or make a symlink to /usr/local/bin/ for the entire system.

There are importany reasons why this is not the default, but you can do it as long as you are away you have done it. Like when programs installed via package manager and flatpak starts conflicting, you’ll know why.

LainOfTheWired, in What are your opinions of Guix?
@LainOfTheWired@lemy.lol avatar

It looks like a cool distro if you want/need a highly configurable package manager that makes your system easily reproducible.

But if you’re just looking to learn more about Linux and learn more about how your system is set up then your average distro you might just want to go with Arch, Void, or Gentoo.

neurospice, in Terminal Utility Mega list!

gdu - basically ncdu written in go and much faster

bim - really lightweight text editor inspired by vim

Steamymoomilk,

added and will half to try gdu

mvirts, in Is DNS Bloat too?

Lol … DNS is one of the pillars upon which the internets tands, a crumbling mess of a pillar but I’m sure glad we don’t have a name system built on hosts files 😹

mvirts, in Happy new year of the Linux Desktop!

The Linux desktop is forever, one year cannot contain it.

Indeed! I’m not planning to go back to Winblows unless I’m being paid for it.

Owljfien, in Boatswain can't access applications

If flatpak permissions are the problem, you could try out flatseal, and see if you can make the problem go away by tweaking permissions

Lime66, (edited )

Have done that, didn’t do anything

cyclohexane, in What are your opinions of Guix?

Guix is almost like nix but with scheme, right? Any other differences?

I do like scheme. Nix is quite impressive. But my unpopular opinion is I am not convinced it’s philosophy is necessary. Nix feels like a workaround to legacy baggage in POSIX to allow for all its features of full reproducibility of packages and the overall system. Although Gentoo is not exactly reproducible, I feel like the level of control is sufficient to give me the benefits I want.

Nix works for maybe 95% of cases, but the 5% where its workarounds do not work sre annoying to deal with. Gentoo on the other hand doesn’t break so much from the traditional unix way of doing things, but still grants the user a great load of freedom and choice.

The biggest difference between Nix and Guix is that Guix doesn’t support non-foss software, meaning you can’t use it as a package manager on other operating systems. I originally wanted to use Guix but use a Mac for work, so that became a deal breaker.

Nix is pretty awesome as a package manager, I’ve been happy with it after the truly unnecessary learning curve brutality. I do not imagine I would ever use the full OS though.

CanadaPlus, (edited )

Based on what I’ve heard so far: GNU Shepard instead of systemd, a package manager that compiles things from source and allows user-defined compiler options, a totally different way of arranging system files, and Guile-Scheme is used for everything; it sounds like there’s no other kind of configuration anywhere.

It also uses Linux-libre by default, although you can go back to plain Linux, and they’re working on Hurd.

haroldstork, in how do i efficiently attach audio to an image

This might depend on where you’re uploading/how you’re playing this file, but you could add a thumbnail to the audio file? I know that vlc and mpv will play your audio file and show the thumbnail, but I’m not sure if YouTube would take that. Not sure if this is exactly what you’re looking for but it is pretty efficient.
