#Introduction I joined after Cambridge Analytica and came back after reading Enshittification. I'm mostly here to enjoy the community and expand what that means beyond the people I usually interact with. I started using #linux with redhat 5.2 but mostly #debian since. I've worked with #PowerElectronics for about 13 years. I like sharing what I know. And I like celebrating what others find interesting. I live in #Seattle and if you do too I'll probably follow you. I volunteer at a tool library.

i have a fedora laptop which, after fedora 43 came out, became nigh-unusable, and quickly after that became fully borked
i have attempted multiple times to use a live USB to re-install fedora, but when i start up the machine, i get a GNOME interface prompt (almost too small to read) and i have no clue how to go from there to a functioning laptop again.
open to suggestions and assistance. 
Is this real??
(thank god i'm using Linux 😁)

Running the live environment of the latest release of #Linux #Mint 7 #LMDE on my trusty old #Lenovo #M72E and it's just.. working. This tiny thin client with a CPU from 2013 and a whopping 8GB of RAM (I've got RAM, get me!) is just happily running a modern 64-bit environment.
Of course I'm sure that browsing the web, especially with multiple tabs open and in-memory, will quickly push it to/over its limits, but likewise, with some smart software choices and a more focused mindset, this could totally work fine for various use-cases.
My use-case is primarily that I'm running Windows XP (which it natively supports, yay for me!) on it as a light-weight setup that gets me to enjoy the last good version of Windows. Some say it's 7. I'd probably have to reluctantly agree on technical levels, but XP is where it's at for me. This, in part, because XP was also the last version of Windows I actively used, before switching fully to OS X — and Linux after that, of course.
I'm in the live environment as I wanted to dd the SSD with the current XP-and-7 installation before making some changes to it. It's easier to do that within Linux, but also because just wanted to see how Mint feels on this hardware. I left enough space on the internal SSD available, thinking I might actually want to put Linux on there too.
It's certainly lovely to see such a modern OS running on such "outdated" hardware. Maybe especially so because it's connected to a CRT monitor 😄.

Hey people,
I recently graduated from my #SysAdmin apprenticeship and I am looking for an entry position in the field of #Linux/ #Networking Administration/Engineering or #DevOps in #NRW, #Germany (ideally around #Düsseldorf), or Remote.
As part of the apprenticeship I conducted an internship at a Neuroscience Institute of Research Centre Juelich, where I accomplished my project of automating #OpenBSD routers using #pyinfra #GitOps.

Boosts appreciated 🙏🏻

#Linux : la méfiance autour d’Ubuntu et de ses Snap reste vive - https://next.ink/246834/linux-la-mefiance-autour-dubuntu-et-de-ses-snap-reste-vive/
> L’équipe de développement de #TuxedoOS a annoncé qu’elle abandonnait #Ubuntu pour #Debian comme base pour sa propre distribution. Parmi les raisons citées, des difficultés à adapter le code vieillissant (LTS), une feuille de route IA jugée « opaque » et surtout l’omniprésence des paquets #Snap. Ce n’est pas la première fois que le système de #Canonical crispe la scène de l’open source.
update-notifier-crash on Ubuntu 24.04 wrote 1 Tbyte of garbage to syslog before I noticed and stopped it. I noticed because it filled the disk.Unbelievably annoying behavior. I guess that'll teach me to ignore an update notification rather than figuring out how to disable it forever.

Switched to strawberry from Swinsian to manage my iPod.
Overall I like swinsian’s interface better, but strawberry is a great player!
Either way I was already using my library to mpd so that doesn’t really hit my day to day.

I noticed today that an update to the #Linux #Zoom client has made it start proactively reading _everything_ written to the X11 clipboard.
If you keep interesting secrets in your clipboard – particularly, if a password manager uses it as a means of getting the password to where it needs to be – this might be a thing you need to know about!
A daily #Linux command from #LinuxLexiconBot:
pkaction (1) - Get details about a registered action
I am a human, but my little bot posts a random Linux command daily. If you don't want to see it you can mute the LinuxLexiconBot hashtag.
