Eine Nachlese zum #Linux-Treff Nord am 19.02. Dieser war mit in der Summe 17 Personen, davon 3 neue Gäste gut besucht.
Vielen Dank dafür.
Es gab u.a :
- ein Samsung Notebook mit Dualboot konfiguriert,
- wieder Linux Installationen,
- Programmerklärungen,
- Termine,
- sonstige Fragen geklärt.
War wieder ein interessanter Abend.
Das nächste Treffen findet virtuell am 26.02.2026 statt.
Wer teilnehmen möchte, einfach eine Mail an kontakt@lug-noris.de schreiben.
Random #SelfHosting #Linux question: I have a USB drive attached to my PC. It's mounted, but the only time I read from/write to it is at midnight when I make a backup. Still, I can hear it spinning up and down throughout the day. Is there a way to monitor and see which processes access the drive or its mount point?

I just boosted a question, but I have a slightly reworded question. Why is Linux and FOSS tripping over themselves to comply with Fascism surveillance capitalism instead of the long established international and national accessibility laws and accessibility guidelines and disability inclusion guidelines? Surely, one thing is better than the other, no? And it ain't Fascism surveillance capitalism that's the better option. #Linux #FOSS

on this evening, 18 years ago, the #Linux-libre project was launched.

before that, every distro that wanted to respect its users' freedom had to remove itself all of the binary blobs that were distributed as part of the kernel Linux's so-called sources
it took a little while for Linux to react to being so called out, by first making those binary blobs loadable separately, and then moving most of them to a separate subproject.
that didn't really solve any freedom issues, given that the drivers still demanded users to install and run those blobs.
Linux-libre joined the #GNU Project a few years later.
the set of blobs demanded by Linux has grown out of control, much faster than Linux itself. nowadays there are even binary blobs that contain a binary copy of Linux!
you might think that, after the split, the kernel Linux became entirely Free, and that the only remaining problem are the demands for binary blobs and the documentation that directs users to install them.
unfortunately, not even that is true. Linux still carries a few binary blobs disguised as arrays of bytes in what was supposed to be source files. there have even been recent additions to this wall of shame.
so it doesn't look like we'll be able to retire GNU Linux-libre any time soon.

My #StarterPack for #Linux #SelfHosting
1) Heimdall start page for your LAN
2) Shiori bookmarks
3) Copyparty for filesharing through web or FTP
4) Kanboard Kanban board
5) Kiwix for offline website content
6) calibre-web for ebooks
7) Hyper8 for self-hosted video content, like a poor man's #Youtube.
8) mkdocs for a markdown-based wiki
I self-host all of these, using #nginx as the web server in all cases. These all consume very little RAM and CPU, and would run very performantly on a Raspberry Pi 5 2GB, with a decent SSD. No #docker needed for any of them.

9,000 pre-orders. Time to celebrate. 🎉
This is not just a number. It is 9,000 people who chose privacy, independence, and a different kind of phone. People who decided that their data is theirs. People who believe something better is possible.
Secure your Jolla Phone at the special batch price before February ends. If you have been considering it, this is the moment.
Let's make it together. ❤️

So I have a strange question for the #Linux crowd — or more specifically, for the #RaspberryPi crowd. And possibly specifically #RaspberryPiOS (I'm not unwilling to consider others, but it is the most tested and has the tools for managing the RPi stuff.)
I would like to setup a configuration where the /home partition is encrypted with LUKS. I really would rather only /home for several reasons, including performance. Setting up the encryption is no real issue, but getting it to actually mount it on startup and prompt for the password (no I don't want a keyfile) is a problem. The normal initramfs stuff so easily setup on a desktop system seems to be really hard to get into a RPi distro and guides are way outdated. I can mount after boot, but not during.
This is a RPi4 (not 5.)
Everything you love, made even better. OS 8.1 improves the Secure Session and Dock, enhances accessibility, improves support for your devices, and addresses your feedback with over 1,100 issue reports fixed
After years without compiling a kernel, I'm giving it another shot! 🐧
Building Linux kernel 6.19.3 on Slackware using Patrick's official SlackBuilds, starting from my 6.18.13 config as a base.
-> 6.19 brings some nice ext4 improvements that caught my attention:
Nothing revolutionary, but solid incremental polishing.
Let's see how it goes! 🤞

-> 6.19 brings some nice ext4 improvements that caught my attention:
Support for block sizes larger than page size (can improve buffered write performance in some workloads)
Faster online defragmentation using folios instead of legacy buffer heads
Smarter POSIX ACL caching, avoiding redundant permission checks on files without ACLs
Nothing revolutionary, but solid incremental polishing.
Let's see how it goes! 🤞
