I’m lucky enough to be in a company where Windows is banned by the CEO. Granted, there are 4 (I believe) exceptions, but the vast majority of employees have an Ubuntu workstation and everyone has a macbook. A bit of a shame this macbook thing, really. A 2 grand thin client to ssh into my desktop when working remotely :D

The exceptions being client testing envs.

What non-SMS non-Apple app can I use to "text" my younger kid on their iPad

Hi! My less-than-10-year-old has their own iPad (registered under my apple id) and wants to be able to “text” with the rest of the family. Most of us are not Apple people though: Android phones, using some combo of SMS, Discord, and Signal. The little one doesn’t have a phone, so I think that prevents us from signing them...

Illecors,

Simplex.chat might work for you.

Illecors,

Subbed!

Is it actually dangerous to run Firefox as root?

I have a few Linux servers at home that I regularly remote into in order to manage, usually logged into KDE Plasma as root. Usually they just have several command line windows and a file manager open (I personally just find it more convenient to use the command line from a remote desktop instead of directly SSH-ing into the...

Sorry, this is very much a PEBKAC issue. This is a excerpt from my tmux config:


<span style="color:#323232;"># Start windows and panes at 1, not 0

I hope the comments are self explanatory.

Scrolling works with Ctrl+b Page Up/Down. There are other shortcuts, but this is probably the most obvious. q to quit scrolling.

Ctrl+b d to detach from a session. tmux a to attach. As always, many options are available to have many named sessions running simultaneously, but that is for a later time.

Illecors,

No, it was the “don’t sue us and we’ll testify in your favour while you’re suing our competition”.

Illecors,

While debian is the least offensive, I did explicitly say world. Add your buntus, mints, whathaveyou into the mix and shit hits the fan very quickly. Yes, real world runs that bollocks in prod. No, I do not agree with it.

How to make sure transmission is using my vpn?

I have transmission running on my server in a docker container that is supposed to go through gluetun. If I run test with ipleak and other torrent ip testers it shows my vpn’s ip address. However transmission is running way faster download speeds than deluge or qbit were with the same configuration. It makes me wonder if all...

Illecors,

Packet sniffing.

Illecors,

I’m not convinced this is better thatn my floating alacritty window piping through fzf, sort and xargs.

Repo needs at least screenshots, ideally a gif or two showing the product in action.

Other than that - great work!

Illecors,

I can already hear the internet complaining abiut stepping into sheep shit.

Illecors,

This meme is pushing it because, well, meme. And that’s all fine.

As a non-native atheist speaker, though, I have to say “happy holidays” just doesn’t roll off the tongue the way “merry christmas” does.

It’s not a big deal at all, but I do find it annoying at the minimal level.

Illecors,

If you don’t mind sanitising PII and sharing it here - give it a go.

No idea about what happened behind the closed doors, if anything; but I feel like compiling your browser with a patchset that removes the restriction on CA removal is going to become a thing. Good thing I’m on Gentoo already.

Illecors,

This is a very simple question to answer:

Illecors,

Huh. Neat!

Illecors,

Evolution work fine with a business google account. I couldn’t use gnome online accounts as that’s blocked by policy, but regular imap worked just fine.

Illecors,

You need to change jobs. Obviously your coworkers are taking a piss of you and being right doesn’t really matter.

For 3 or 4 seasons I completely ignored Game of Thrones - the name just threw me off. To some extend I’m happy I did - there was a lot of content to catch up to when I finally did give the first episode a shot :)

Illecors,

BTRFS has a concept called a subvolume. You are allowed to mount it just like any other device. This is an example /etc/fstab I’ve copied from somewhere some time ago.


<span style="color:#323232;">UUID=49DD-6B6F                                  /efi            vfat    defaults        0 2
</span><span style="color:#323232;">UUID=701c73d7-58b5-4f90-b205-0bb56a8f1d96       /               btrfs   subvol=@root    0 0
</span><span style="color:#323232;">UUID=701c73d7-58b5-4f90-b205-0bb56a8f1d96       /home           btrfs   subvol=@home    0 0
</span><span style="color:#323232;">UUID=701c73d7-58b5-4f90-b205-0bb56a8f1d96       /opt            btrfs   subvol=@opt     0 0
</span><span style="color:#323232;">UUID=701c73d7-58b5-4f90-b205-0bb56a8f1d96       /srv            btrfs   subvol=@srv     0 0
</span><span style="color:#323232;">UUID=701c73d7-58b5-4f90-b205-0bb56a8f1d96       /var            btrfs   subvol=@var     0 0
</span>

/efi (or /boot, or /boot/efi, whatever floats your boat) still has to be a separate vfat partition, but all the other mounts are, technically speaking, the same partition mounted many times with a different subvolume set as the target.

Obviously, you don’t need to have all of them separated like this, but it allows you to fine tune the parts of system that do get snapshot.

Illecors,

I’ve noticed an uptick in spinisaurus memes. Has there been a newsworthy event I’ve missed in the last couple of days?

My ubuntu installation broke completely

I think that installation was originally 18.04 and I installed it when it was released. A while ago anyways and I’ve been upgrading it as new versions roll out and with the latest upgrade and snapd software it has become more and more annoying to keep the operating system happy and out of my way so I can do whatever I need to...

Illecors,

That sounds fun

Illecors,

Same. At some point had jumped on librem mail as it had forked k9 to update the interface, but have been back for a few years now.

Illecors,

AVs in Linux realm exist mostly for scanning windows stuff for email attachments, shared storage, etc.

Illecors,

I actually think they’re new school enough where Linux to them means a lot less than it does to us. And so they don’t feel at home on a Linux machine and, unfortunately, don’t care to learn.

I could totally be wrong, though. Maybe I’m the moron.

Illecors,

I think I got a double push - I’ve reached a point in my life where I finally have something to say as well as Lemmy not drowning out my posts/comments.

Also hosting a publicly open server drags me in even more; I love that stuff.
