pmk, in COSMIC: The Road to Alpha

Just curious, on a scale from cowsay to MS Word, how difficult would it be to port COSMIC to the BSDs, assuming wayland support?

mmstick,
@mmstick@lemmy.world avatar

As long as you have access to the latest version of Rust, porting would be somewhere near cowsay.

pmk,

Nice! I know that OpenBSD people have been working on a wayland compatible thing which takes into account Linux-specific things (libinput?), but last I heard it’s not ready. I have my hopes up though! Could be the year of desktop BSD if they port COSMIC.

mmstick,
@mmstick@lemmy.world avatar

It would certainly be easier for them to port COSMIC because there are very few dependencies on shared C libraries. Cargo links all Rust libraries statically, so it’s easier to maintain and update components. This will depend how open they are to accepting Cargo and Rust into their ecosystems.

pmk,

OpenBSD -release seems to be at rust 1.72, but -current has 1.75.

onlinepersona, in NixOS is better because...

Better in some ways, but it has the worst documentation of any distro I’ve seen so far. nixlang.wiki is trying to improve that

This is a text post, so the OP wrote text corresponding to the title. You should be able to see it at the top of the post. (Spoiler, OP is basically asking the community why NixOS is better, because they don’t quite understand the advantages of using NixOS.)

abominable_panda, in [Question] Unable to access someof my LAN servers from WAN

Does your nginx config know how to handle a direct IP address request? Seems like its set up for domain name only?

Weslee, (edited )

To be honest I think the wordpress install handled all that, or maybe wordpress handles it inheritly, I’m not sure. I simply pointed a domain to my static ip and forwarded http/https to the correct LAN ports and it just worked on its’ own.

I probably shouldn’t have mentioned Wordpress, I’m mostly focused on the Gogs server right now, I just added it for more context on the issue

abominable_panda, (edited )

Oh yeah my mistake. Ill give it some thought but in the meantime you might find more help in the selfhosted community

Weslee, (edited )

Thank you, I will try there, I was trying to install PiVPN since I can connect to the Gogs server on my local network, if I could just get a VPN server running it should work, but of course more issues with that. The cause could well be some config I might have changed and forgotten about, reimaging and starting fresh might be the easiest solution.

Though, I did just upgrade to FTTP - which added a modem or some kind of device between my router and the internet, so maybe there could be some extra config surrounding that I’m just not aware of

abominable_panda,

Looking at the config have you set up the domain name and everything for WAN?

abominable_panda,

Generally if youre selfhosting a vpn is better from a cyber security perspective anyway.

haui_lemmy, (edited )

This. I was getting fits when I read the post. Fiber is actually great for selfhosting a service but the security side is very dangerous for uninformed individuals.

If configuring an nginx server is already stretching it, its only a matter of time until your stuff is encrypted and ransomed. Same goes for all data in your network. If the pi is not in its own zone, it has now become a door to your network with barely a lock, let alone a good one.

I would highly recommend reading up on network security and probably prioritize isolating the pi and making at least daily backups.

You router is going to be scanned for open ports every couple minutes. If the wordpress doesnt have a strong password, you‘re in for a bad time.

UNY0N, in Your favorite linux projects for weekend

I’m learning about i3 and xfce on arch (my daily driver). I’m not linux expert, but I’ve been really enjoying figuring things out after switching from ubuntu to arch. This weekend I’m getting the icons for network manager applet and clipman working on the whisker panel, and then removing the i3bar.

Well, at least that’s rhe goal. I don’t have much free time, so tbis will mkst likely be a month project, not a weekend. :P

@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

I’m pretty sure that most people won’t be able to tell the difference between 5 and 6.

Seems like minor changes to me.

I once did enjoy KDE but always hated the font, icons and everything in the UI is lines. Makes it hard to comprehend things quickly.

In the end I realised the Gnome-based UI is far better for legibility and comprehension. I’m on Linux Mint Debian Edition with Cinnamon and it’s great.

sebsch, in The last few weeks in KDE: It’s coming… it’s coming… it’s coming

I already installed it at my private workstation and it’s bonkers.

Some bugs left, but all in all it is working super already.

Kudos to the people from kde. This one will clearly a superb product

I’m on mobile so formatting might not look the best, but here it goes!

X11 scaling - does this link help? wiki.archlinux.org/title/HiDPISpecifically under either xorg or KDE plasma I think you might be able to find some settings that help

For Wayland - would wdisplays help you out? I’ve had good results using that along with kanshi.

As for system freezing, I’m just taking a shot in the dark but this might be a KDE thing based on a quick search. Wayland is new and sexy, but apparently all the bugs aren’t worked out for KDE. This answer isn’t great, and is very hand-wavey, but without more details outside of you’re on KDE I can’t really help much. Unfortunately for you, I switched over to Sway which apparently has better Wayland support out of the box.

kionite231, in NixOS is better because...

for me personally I like to be able to install software temporarily using nix-shell command it’s awesome. the installed program will be gone once you leave the nix-shell. It’s just awesome for me.

zygo_histo_morpheus,

I agree, but you don’t need nixos if that’s all you want since you can get nix-shell on most linux distros

neosheo,
@neosheo@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Don’t forget to run nix-collect-garbage tho. The program is actually still installed, the symlimk to $PATH is just deleted after exiting the nix-shell

That’s indeed pretty neat.

Ramin_HAL9001, (edited ) in NixOS is better because...

What is good about NixOS (and GuixOS) is that they apply to package management the same principles that Git applies to managing source code. The Nix store is basically an append-only database (you might even call it a “blockchain”) of inter-dependent packages.

So from an individual computer user’s point of view, it is much safer to install and roll-back software with Nix than with an ordinary package manager that might allow you to accidentally delete package dependencies and break your system. With Nix, you can install packages that actually do break your system, but because of the append-only nature, you can actually roll-back the install automatically right from the Grub boot menu, no need to re-install anything.

Another advantage of NixOS, though this is more from a system operator’s point of view, is that you can guarantee reproducible builds. If the package you have installed has the same hash on all of your computers, that is a simple, human-verifiable proof that all of those systems are running the exact same build of the software. You can probably see that this is very useful for people running servers, like compute clusters, or doing things like A-B testing.

adamnejm, in Clipboard randomly clearing
@adamnejm@programming.dev avatar

Clipboard in Linux is weird. Can you replicate this:

  1. Copy text
  2. Close the application you copied from
  3. Paste into a different application
  4. Nothing appears

If so, that means you don’t have a clipboard manager running, default for KDE is Klipper I believe.

UnRelatedBurner,

step 4 didn’t happen. AKA it works now. I have a guess as of why a random app wouldn’t be running. And it makes sense that closing would clear it, as screenshotting opens a fullscreen app. But I don’t get it, how can closing an application delete my clipboard?

somethingsomethingidk,

This explains it. Especially the section about selections. A program “owns” the “clipboard” and if it stops it is released. Aka bye bye copied data

UnRelatedBurner,

Got around to reading it, good to know. Thanks!
