No mention of xsnow? Iā€™m getting old hehe

utopiah, in 2 years on GNU/Linux - a retrospective attempt

ignoring the fact that I needed to get another usb wifi receptor because the one I had was not compatible

managed to get my printer working,

IMHO thatā€™s one of the most important trickā€¦ namely, and sadly, donā€™t assume compatibility. Do 5min of Internet search to insure that the hardware you buy is actually supported, and ideally without any manual installation requiring to patch the kernel. This makes usage a lot more enjoyable, where you only focus on making your experience better.

PS: I said ā€œsadlyā€ because in theory, if hardware genuinely relied on standards, e.g Bluetooth, without their own extension, custom software as equivalent to drivers, hardware for PC ā€œshouldā€ work everywhere. In practice itā€™s not always the case and that can be very frustrating.

Liz_thestrange,

Yeah that sucks, fortunately I use a repeater to connect via ethernet, so itā€™s not a problem anymore, and the printer just needed the right drivers, so I finally donā€™t have any problems with that

This looks beautiful, congrats to Zorin contributors!

library_napper, in SSH protects the worldā€™s most sensitive networks. It just got a lot weaker

So hardened ssh configs following best practice cipher whitelist are unaffected, cool

Unfortunately, comments, and votes donā€™t appear to be federating from Peertube. Iā€™ve opened some issues (LemmyNet/Lemmy#4314, LemmyNet/Lemmy#3837, LemmyNet/lemmy-ui#2161) for this in the past, and, from what Iā€™ve heard, it may be an issue with Peertubeā€™s federation implementation.

No love for xroach? Man, Iā€™m old. Is it still around?

wiki_me, in Redox OS - an OS built entirely out of Rust

Having some hardware mentioned on the site that is supported and ready for use could be helpful if someone wants to try it (say raspberry pi), There are probably people who are worried to will make their computer explode.

gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/redox/ā€¦/HARDWARE.md

It can be found from the ā€œQuick Startā€ page

  • That one whose name I forget but basically spawns a cat that chases your cursor

You mean Neko. Used to have it installed a long time ago. I donā€™t know if it still works in this day of compositors and Wayland.

I also remember having a bunch of penguins running around my screen like little lemmings. Xpenguins I think it was called.

You can also get Xcowsay to pop up occasionally on your desktop to offer silly advice, just pipe it from fortune and add it to crontab.

Alsephina, in Redox OS - an OS built entirely out of Rust

Oh my god they rewrote Linux in Rust. Amazing.

baconicsynergy,

Kinda. Redox uses a microkernel architecture and tries to keep only the most important functionality in ring 0 while they push everything else in userspace. Itā€™s great.

xscreensaver with IFS. Canā€™t stop looking at it. Iā€™m writing this on another computer because I donā€™t want to disable screen saver on my primary one.

beeng, (edited )

Whatā€™s the IFS part? I tried a quick web search but didnā€™t find anythingā€¦

JackGreenEarth,

Institute of Fiscal Studies. But itā€™s now called LIBF - London Institute of Banking and Finance.

ExLisper,
beeng,

Thank you!

I have this already :) now I know their name!

De_Narm, in Cool fancy programs?

eDEX-UI - its basically a terminal, but as shown in movies. Mostly inspired by TRON I believe.
