I love the sound of this, and so to start it off, I’ve added a very rushed together section on my personal website (and yes, absolutely a plug for my very static website).
It only points to this post’s bookmark list and my personal list of high quality YouTubers, but I do want to maintain a fairly high standard of things I’d want to link there, which is why I’ll leave that to a time when I’m less preoccupied.
I’ve been using What’s Up Docker as an alternative instead. With my containers set up in Yacht, I can check for updates with WUD and then actually update them with Yacht
Devuan boutta get an influx of new users
Yeah, I’m not disagreeing with you, more so making a comment on how it never occurred to me they were that old today.
That being said, by the time I was playing with 775 computers they were pretty out of date (2013) and by 2015 all of those machines were replaced at my school. So in a rational sense that explains the time disparity I feel for Socket 775.
Having Socket 775, Puppy Linux and genuinely old hardware in the sentence shook me.
I still remember being in high school playing Minecraft on those Optiplexes, and even before that playing Poptropica and CoolMathGames…
Somewhat felt this with RoboCop - it’s referenced quite a bit in discussions but to me, the plot felt incredibly thin and I’m surprised it hasn’t been criticised more for this.
To me, it came down to cop gets brutally executed, revived by a dystopian tech company as a robot following commands, it starts remembering who it was in its prior life and swears revenge against its murderers, all the while he falls in love with his partner cop despite having a wife in his previous life who moved on after his death.
I get the dystopian undertones of it, but it all just felt incredibly cheesy to me.
I thought I’d step out of my Debian/Arch comfort zone by installing OpenSUSE on an Intel MacBook - Tumbleweed has trouble working with the Broadcom wireless adapter, and Leap straight up kernel panics because it can’t find root on boot.
It’s been actually educational and almost nostalgic in that it makes me feel like a total Linux noob again as I try to navigate zypper and YaST.
Once I get it working this meme will feel extremely relatable.
I never considered a Chromebook in that respect. I’ve got a 2015 11" MBA that does Invidious and lightweight work fine, but the battery leaves a lot to be desired.
I’m guessing the Chromebook I’d want would have to be jailbreakable and x86 if I wanted to run a lean Xfce Linux distro on it?
Honestly I’d take that trade if it were in the context of Windows. The amount of AI bullshit is astoundingly bad, it makes Windows 8 feel like a relief to use.
I was joking unfortunately, I don’t have a Land Rover. However a close relative of mine has a Discovery 2 (2.8L i5 Diesel, TD5 engine) and sure, it’s a damn solid and capable vehicle, when it’s running.
My god, doing any work on it requires custom tools (that relative fabricated his own spanner tool to hold the radiator fan while undoing its locking nut), a custom aftermarket computer to do basic functions you’d typically do via OBD (talking about the proprietary Nanocom, car isn’t compatible with OBD2) and extra effort for the odd engineering choices made (coolant system runs through the oil system, separating some part of the motor to service this immediately mixes your oil and coolant).
When that relative bought it I was pretty onboard with getting a Land Rover, maybe a Freelander or Discovery 1, but after his experiences I’d never touch one. No thank you, I will stick to my small Japanese cars.
You leave my Land Rover’s proprietary oil check system out of it!
As much as I don’t like LMG, I’d still suffer one of their videos if it had Torvalds in it just out of plain interest
Edit: seems my comment is being misunderstood - I know their collab video is happening, I’m saying that’s why I’ll watch it when it comes out despite not being a huge LMG viewer anymore
I need to migrate a server off Windows
Why is this? I think we’re missing a step here. Especially in the self hosted community, it’s safe to say we are all very pro Linux, but it’s not an automatic benefit for every possible use case. Why is the business seeking to move off Windows Server and why do they care about this?
I’m only a level two tech with not a wealth of experience, but deviating from industry standard tools like Windows Server is setting off alarm bells because:
If a tech was called in to look at why the CCTV isn’t working, or the music not playing, the place they call is going to send out a level 2+ tech, and they’re expected to know Windows Server and figure out third party applications on that server (or find their support line for further information). That tech is not going to expect a Linux server, and they’re going to rightfully walk the fuck away from that, and tell the business to call a Linux technician, which are way less common, probably remote only and more expensive.
My god, the onion article from yesterday was not actually a total joke? What the hell does it even mean when you don’t believe the onion article when it’s actually true?
The middle dragon never specified if the work done was the right work
No worries, all the best with that.
I wish I could be more help with the radio app but I get the impression that it’s intended to be built with the ROM and while I’ve compiled ROMs once before I have no idea how to include a different app with the build.
I was going to recommend RevampedFMRadio but I see your device isn’t either Qualcomm or MediaTek.
There’s some discussions on XDA and Reddit I found where someone wanted it on an S10/S10e and the responses were that the Exynos chip does not have any FM radio functionality at all.
I looked up your Exynos 850 chipset and Samsung’s datasheet says it does have an FM radio, as you yourself surmised by it being in the stock ROM.
There is this app (seemingly without anything prebuilt) for a different Exynos chip, but given it hasn’t been updated in 3 years and the chip difference, I wouldn’t have high hopes.
Otherwise you might have more luck asking the LineageOS maintainer why FM radio functionality is missing and if they could add it.
Another random chiming in, been a Linux user for 10 years, and a couple years ago, I gave Fedora a good go for a month and couldn’t get it either.
I’m sure if I committed more time to it I would have understood it, but I needed a working computer and not one I was fighting with half the time, so I cut it there.
MSFM 2000 was the one (and only one) that I’ve played, and unfortunately no, it just pauses the game right on impact.
Reminds me of penisland (dot) com - looks like the domain redirects to some bullshit now but that was a website for pens.
