Helix, to linux in Firefox 121 Is Looking Good For Having Wayland Enabled By Default

You can set MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 to have it today!

Helix, to linux in PipeWire 1.0 Released For Managing Audio/Video Steams On The Linux Desktop

Yeah it’s basically Pulseaudio, but better. The devs have done a great job on iterating upon the already pretty good pulseaudio!

cba, can you upload a gif?

Helix, to linux in Project Bluefin: A Linux Desktop for Serious Developers

Sorry, I only know silly, goofy developers. Can’t recommend this to anyone.

Helix, to linux in Fedora 40 Will Enable Systemd Service Security Hardening

Actually, I use systemd because it just works for me and operating systems aren’t my hobby. Linux is my job, and things that work well cause less overtime for me.

I’m very excited for Debian 13 :)

Helix, to piracy in Long storage life curiosity

Contrary to what people suggested, I would advise against optical discs or tapes and would go with HDDs you check every few months. They don’t rot like optical media, the only thing you have to worry about are the motor spindles getting stuck and other mechanical failures.

It will also be the cheapest option. With tapes you need expensive drives and they change the version every few years. Tapes only are better if you store hundreds or thousands of TiB of data.

Which data so you want to save? Mostly games and media? If so, consider giving them to your friends and family to copy and enjoy, which some people call a ‘friend backup’.

Helix, to privacy in Any *good* keyboard recommations?

I like AnySoftKeyboard but it also doesn’t have great predictions. They’re very customizable though, so maybe you can get something out of it?

We are really experiencing a cloud native generation. These Zoomers don’t even know how life was without a cloud over their heads.

Helix, to linux in Wanting to improve my Linux skills after 17 months of daily driving Linux

Installing Arch manually will teach you a lot of those things. Just do not use archinstall.

Helix, to linux in How to run command or code in parallel in bash shell under Linux or Unix

Do you know what the word ‘example’ means? There are people who aren’t as superbly knowledgeable as you are.

Helix, to datahoarder in Mechanical or SSD for offsite storage that’s updated at least yearly?

SSDs lose charge over time. Within a year, bitflips might occur. I recommend going with an HDD with a shockproof case.

This ineo t2580 looks good but I can’t seem to find the maximum capacity. Try not to use HDDs over 12TB and you should be fine.

Helix, (edited ) to linux in How to update the BIOS on a Dell laptop running Linux

Next time buy from vendors which support fwupd.

NixOS according to my local fetish community.

Helix, to linux in Micro***t Word on Linux and alternatives

Use the online version of Word if you want Word. If you want the desktop version use an older one, the Office 365 ones don’t really work on Linux.

Why is LibreOffice ‘meh’?

Helix, to privacy in Google Just Killed Warrants That Give Police Access To Location Data

“Geofencing has solved a bunch of really major cases that were otherwise totally cold,” he wrote.

Citation needed. Solving a case for a police officer means finding a person who looks guilty, not that they’re actually guilty. Even if they’re convicted they could’ve just been convicted by being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
