I’m pretty old school, but as I only have 1 server, I just use ssh, df, du and top.

  1. I would assume you’d need to keep updating the DNS record to match the IP you have.
  2. I’m not. Nothing like that is completely free. I wonder how they pay for the DNS…

Protecting HDDs from (external) train vibrations

I am worried that externally caused vibrations might damage my HDDs (NAS in the planning). The subway / metro runs under my building, and every time the train passes, this causes slight but measurable vibrations in the 50-100 Hz frequency range. It is more like a rumbling noise than the usual vibration of a passing train....

Maybe some foam under the case could elliminate some of those vibrations. Like pieces of a yoga mat or similar mats.

It’s a fancy number, but the release only fixes some wifi regressions. Nothing wild.

It’s a cache. It’s meant to be deleted from time to time, especially if the application is not good at it by itself.

So simply delete the folder. Anything electron will need after that will be re-downloaded when the application is run again.

Systemd timer unit

I try to create a timer unit for weekly and daily backups. For example with the weekly unit, it should be executed once in a week, some minutes after login. If the unit was successful, it should shutdown and not start again until the next week. If a start of this unit was missing, it should be start again some minutes after the...

the timer has no idea if it was triggered during last boot. It only has the context of “this” boot, so it will do it right after a reboot and set a timer to start the service again after a week of uptime.

So if you reboot every day, it will trigger the service every day, even though you set it to weekly in the timer.

So it’s up to your .service file to determine if it has been run this week or not.

Not x86_64 based, but the PineTab2 and PineTab-V are 2 alternatives. The PineTab2 is aarch64 (ARM) based while the PineTab-V is, you guessed it, RISC-V based.

Both 8 GB RAM versions go for about $210 on their website.

No worries. Just wanted to throw some alternatives your way, since I think €300 is a steep price for a 4 GB RAM tablet with no upgrade option. :) PS: Didn’t know stylus support was a thing. TIL about EMR.

While Linux TTY is multiseat by default, each TTY is a seperate user login, I’m not sure any of the GUI’s support this function.

I know of PRIME, which can be used to offload work to dedicated GPU’s.

Or the return of The Cube.

Spending a few days with Hyprland made me realize how awesome Gnome is

Don’t get me wrong. Hyprland is great. I like it a lot. It looks fresh, it’s easy to configure and the keybindings are super easy to implement, but it’s also very barebones. Most of the functionality expected from a DE come from external software. Be it a top bar, an app launcher, a notification daemon or anything else....

Strit,
@Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show avatar

The difference, as I understand it, is that Hyprland is not a DE, it’s a Windows Manager. So it should be compared with the likes of Sway, i3 and Awesome.

Nice. I’ve been running Plasma 6 on my Arch test laptop. Not a huge visual difference, but it works fairly well.

OBS already does screen recording on Wayland…

Strit,
@Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show avatar

The Arch wiki article already states it’s unmaintained since January 2023. So Arch users have had almost a year to find another solution at this point.

@Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show avatar

I agree. I’d love a quick TL:DR or rundown.

Strit,
@Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show avatar

Screenlocking works just fine. That was not the issue mentioned.

Strit,
@Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show avatar

The problem, as I see it, is that the author of the original Gist does not really want wayland replacements for what he has, but rather what he has to also work on wayland.

Wayland didn’t break everything. It broke what relied on X11 specific stuff, which turned out to be a lot of things. The vast majority of issues still present with Wayland are edge-cases that will only see the light of day when the people with those edge-cases start using wayland. And as long as distros default to X11, that won’t happen. So that distros, like Fedora, started defaulting to Wayland “early” on (yes I put early in quotes, because it’s only perceived as early) is actually a good thing. Makes the compositor developers aware of edge-cases they can’t catch themselves.

I’vge been using Wayland exclusively for over a year and apart from a couple of small bugs, not even missing functions, I haven’t experienced any issues relating to Wayland directly. But that’s for my use case. YMMV as always.

As far as I know, only the kernel module was open sourced and in doing that Nvidia moved a lot of stuff from the driver, to the firmware/software part of their stack instead. So you would still need those, which are not open.

OBS can capture wayland output just fine. At least in recent versions 29.X for sure. I don’t know how the Debian/Raspberry Pi OS repositories updates them. Hopefully they have a newer version these days.

I’m a KDE Plasma user and it’s using Noto Fonts by default IIRC. So that’s what I use.

I made it to Linux! What is your must-have FOSS or Free Software for linux?

Thank you so much, comrades! I am feeling pretty comfortable with linux mint, and now would like some suggestions for some absolutely necessary FOSS or free license software for the OS. So far I have the standard, Firefox, ThunderBird, LibreOffice, yada yada. Thank you again to everyone on the linux comm! sankara-salute

I’m surprises no one has mentioned the ones I use most days.

  • git (version control software development)
  • openssh (for ssh connections to other devices)
  • handbrake (video transcoding)
  • Element (matrix client)
