Arch Linux disables AUR package adoption https://lobste.rs/s/0mixjj #linux

Dear all - I'm starting to bundle up my work on porting mainline linux to the Kindle Paperwhite3 - I've got most of the major features but the install process is complicated.

I'm going to put together a custom linux distro for it - no other ones really fit. I've run into a roadblock as I am struggling with a name. It's going to be based on alpine linux, I want to avoid anything that a*mazon can get grumpy about.

Any ideas for names?

#presentación Hola gente, soy secondchancelemon y soy marido, papá de un nene de 4 años, y un enfermo renal crónico (genética, mala genética).
Soy abstemio, mi humor es onda #dadjokes, tengo mala memoria, un tímpano roto, me gustan los insultos, las malas palabras, las paradojas y las contradicciones.
Hice un degoogle y encontré Mastodon por casualidad, hace 9 meses, buscando alejarme de las rr.ss algorítmicas. Floté por otras instancias hasta llegar a los rebeldes de Argentina. Acá encontré gente que le gusta #Linux y el software libre, la ciberseguridad, el selfhosting, el activismo político, la filosofía, la psicología, la piratería y todas las cosas nerds que hacen lindo al mundo.
Leí a Douglas Adams y creí haber encontrado al mejor autor de todos los tiempos, hasta que encontré a Terry Pratchett. Ahora estoy re-leyendo "El quinto elefante" con mi esposa, de la Saga de la Guardia.

Ah, disappointed to learn that KDE is also going the path of hamburger menus vs actual menu bars, so anything kirigami does not export an actual global menu.

Kirigami apps have the same "mobile inspired" desktop approach that I think sucks on desktop and is the GNOME approach, and increasingly the macOS approach as well.

#linux #kde #kirigami

current status:
⁃ Niri
⁃ Noctalia
⁃ Frutiger
⁃ Haiku Icons
⁃ Light mode
⁃ Qt apps

This is a computer I enjoy using.

Ok noctalia is pretty nice! And with qt apps + the global menu, it really matches what I’m used to.

It doesn’t seem like there’s a working MPD plugin, but that can probably be rectified, I’ll have a look.

Noctalia + niri + kde apps styles with macos 9 icons is one of my favorite desktops so far

Please, can anyone confirm what's reported by Google AI?

"This legendary 3D-rendered wallpaper was originally created by German graphic designer and digital artist Leonhard "Leo" Krauß (frequently credited as L. Krauß). … it became an iconic desktop background in the early 2000s tech community."

(I did spend around an hour searching, without assistance from AI, I couldn't find what I want.)

xdg and d-bus are great and the way to integration and consistency in linux.

I had already played with MPRIS when writing lyricli, which magically gives you compatibility with most music players, but having explored more of it, I’m convinced it’s essential for any app developer to support.

I wonder if apps support d-bus scripting in the same way Mac apps support AppleScript.

This is the umpteenth time I've tried this, starting with version 1.6.1 😅

Could this be the definitive? I hope 💪

Now I have to config automount for external disk/USB keys and I need to find a way to encrypt my external disk and use it both in GNU\Linux and NetBSD.

GDC (I never tried it on Linux and I didn't find anything online)?
ZFS? Anyone have an idea?

I know I can use OpenSSL or GPG but I think it's better and more confortable to encrypt the full drive...

P.S. I love NetBSD but pkgin is really slow 😅 (It's probably not a problem with pkgin, but rather my Wi-Fi card.)
