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

Rustmilian, (edited ) in saving and restoring arbitrary sessions including terminal and GUI --- impossible?

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.

Year of the Linux desktop LFG!

Hellmo_Luciferrari,

Been using Arch with KDE on my Lenovo Yoga, both Wayland and X11 depending 9n what I want to accomplish. Though it lead me down the rabbit hole of Weston so that I could run Waydroid from within X11. Ultimately I just decided Wayland basically when I am not using my touchpad or when I want to run Waydroid.

Year of the Linux desktop, LFG!

pineapplelover,

For some reason, when I switch to X11 (also on Arch with KDE), it bugs out, so I’ve been using Wayland with xwayland bridge installed.

Hellmo_Luciferrari,

What was it doing for you when you switched back to x11?

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.

If you run random .pdf.something-files pm‘d to you on LinkedIn you probably shouldn’t use a computer anyway, no matter if it runs Linux or Windows…

MrFunnyMoustache,

The problem is, using a computer is pretty much essential to function in this world, I actually know more people who would run any file sent to them without a second thought because they wouldn’t know better, but they still need to use a computer.

I think a better solution is to give better training to people about computer hygiene at the workplace.

fhein,

I work for a large IT company so we’ve had numerous such training courses, but then they use third party services for time reporting, manager evaluation, cloud services, personal finance advice, etc. so I regularly get emails with links to domains that I’ve never heard about that I’m supposed to trust…

MrFunnyMoustache,

That’s what happens when executives don’t listen to IT…

The company I currently work for host everything at the building they own. The CEO doesn’t understand much about IT, but his attitude is “I trust your integrity and your expertise, so I’ll approve anything you ask me within reason if it will improve security and reliability.”

Quereller,

I work in a big international company. We regularly have phishing (email) awareness training. But they outsource about everything and regularly change the providers. So we often get totally legit emails from just some random companies and are supposed to visit/ login to some previously unknown domains.

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Lazarus’ Operation DreamJob, also known as Nukesped, is an ongoing operation targeting people who work in software or DeFi platforms with fake job offers on LinkedIn or other social media and communication platforms.

Looks like they’re going after desperate job seeking crypto bros. Even if it’s not terribly effective, it’s a spray and pray, so they probably got some people.

brick,

Seems to me like they are targeting people who likely have access to assets that can be easily stolen and hard to track.

So doesn’t the user have to add +x to run this?

leopold,

It never occurred to me before reading this comment that there actually is a use case for the execute permission. To me it was always just this annoying thing I have to do whenever I download an executable which I didn’t have to do on Windows.

AProfessional,

Fun fact, Windows has the same permission it just defaults to enabled.

Rustmilian, (edited )
@Rustmilian@lemmy.world avatar

No because the zip archive retains permissions of the contained files.

LiveLM,

Hm, maybe there should be an option to always disable the executable permission when extracting

Rustmilian,
@Rustmilian@lemmy.world avatar

That’s perhaps possible, but likely would have to be implemented in each achieving tools individually.

BCsven,

Ah, right

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…

sin_free_for_00_days, in What is going on with /sys/kernel/notes ?

It was added in a patch to 2.6.23

Notes from the coder:

The bonus feature in my patch series adds the magic file /sys/kernel/notes. Reading this gives you the binary contents of the ELF notes section built into the kernel. Here you can find the build ID of the running kernel. This gives a solution to a problem that has arisen for systemtap users, where nothing prevents them from using the kernel-debuginfo.i586 data to drive Systemtap’s probe details, but are actually running the kernel from the kernel.i686 rpm. This is a failure on many levels, but some simple sanity-checking at the bottom always helps. Now it is easy to verify you have the right debuginfo file for the kernel you are running.

This is incorporated upstream now.

Static_Rocket,
@Static_Rocket@lemmy.world avatar

Yep, from kernel/ksysfs.c


<span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">/*
</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;"> * Make /sys/kernel/notes give the raw contents of our kernel .notes section.

Hopefully it’s all a relatively painless & bug-free experience for ya.

Does your gear work with Guitarix?

Hellmo_Luciferrari,

U til you mentioned Guitarix I wasn’t even familiar with that software. Unfortunately I don’t believe there is any connectivity between PowerCab or my Helix with guitarix. But Guitarix could still be handy to me. Thank you!

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

Regardless of the path, congrats on getting there

StorageB, in 2024 Is the year I will commit to ditching windows

I have to keep a Windows install around for the sole purpose of pushing firmware updates to my Headrush pedal board. The installer will run on Linux with Wine, but it cannot detect the pedalboard through the USB connection.

utopiah,

I didn’t try it (because I didn’t have the need for it yet) but maybe wiki.winehq.org/Hardware#USB could help.

StorageB,

I hadn’t come across this when I was trying to get it to work with Wine. This looks promising - I’ll give it a try next time!

ghassan,

Try giving this a try. I found it suggested in the Arch wiki to update the bios. It’s basically a bootable Windows environment from a USB. You can then try running your firmware updates through it. It worked to update my bios so I assume it should easily work with updating firmware for other devices.

StorageB,

That’s an interesting idea. I will give that a shot next time!

PlusMinus, in creating an alias of a command with plenty special characters

Just a thought: It should be possible to save the default ps output does that not fit your use case better?

man 5 docker-config-json

man.archlinux.org/man/…/docker-config-json.5.en

krash,

OMG! I didn’t even know about this, thanks! Will look into it, would be awesome to have ps command spit out things like I want them by default :-)

QaspR, in "Must Try" distros and DEs?

LeftWM. I’ve been using it for about a year now and I have no complaints vIt doesn’t hold your hand as much as other WMs, but it is extremely powerful if you’re willing to do some manual setup.

jerrythegenius, (edited ) in what's a normie KDE distro?
@jerrythegenius@lemmy.world avatar

Fedora kde spin, kubuntu (ubuntu but with kde), kde neon (kde’s distro). I’ve never used neon or kubuntu as a daily driver (just when I was looking for a distro) although they are supposed to be quite good, but I use fedora gnome as a daily driver and fedora kde should be fairly similar. You can also use distrochooser to find a distro that suits.

Molten_Moron,

Well, judging by the fact that it gave me my favorite (and current (Mint)) distro on the first try, I’ll say this tool is pretty solid lol

Beefytootz, in what's a normie KDE distro?

Kde neon isn’t bad. If I’m remembering right, it’s based on Ubuntu and made by the kde team

Jumuta,

neon is amazing
