I’m impressed how many apps actually expose the menu via dbus or at-spi! Basically only gtk4 and custom renderers don’t (including everything iced).

Firefox and Betterbird do! And with some app choices, most of the apps I use support global menu.

I just lost my job today, so here we go..

I'm a ~30 years career Sysadmin/DevOps/Server Shepard/Graybeard whatever its called now UNIX nerd.

Looking for work doing UNIX'y stuff. I mostly do automation, and have avoided working with AI and Kubernetes (though I have a bit of k8s experience at two jobs, I just prefer "the old way")

Chef, Puppet, Cfengine, Ansible, Shell scripts, etc.

I've built Linux distributions, and automation tools. Having worked at Redhat, TurboLinux, Penguin Computing, Salesforce, and Chef.

Built and maintained monitoring systems, checks, and lived the on-call life.

Built and managed CI systems, and Pipelines.

I've written and maintained software in Ruby, Python, and Shell. I've dabbled in just about every other programming language you'll find on a UNIX system.

I have spent a lot of time with *BSD, Solaris, IRIX, and Linux, and to a lesser extent HPUX, and AIX.

If its sysadmin work on a UNIX, I've likely done it.

Remote only / West Michigan maybe / not willing to relocate

Desktop Linux just cracked 10% market share - and Windows 11 is mostly to blame
https://zdnet.com/article/the-linux-desktop-finally-cracks-the-10-market-share-barrier/ via @ZDNet & @sjvn

Windows is in decline, and both Macs and #Linux are gaining ground at its expense.

I am exceptionally disappointed in the centrist decision taken by #Debian on LLM usage. I'll be halting any work I do that might benefit Debian, including reporting bugs.

I have used Debian since at least 2000, but I will be actively working to find another "default" #Linux distribution.

Having tasted the mighty #ZFS on #FreeBSD , I have always been wondering how it would work with #Linux , so I fired up #Alpine Linux with the #ZFSBootMenu on my #ThinkPad T470s. Not bad! And #systemd free experience is still nostalgic and enjoyable!

🔎 You already know which directory takes up a lot of disk space and want to clean out? With 'find' you you can search for files bigger than a specific size.

⚠️ The size option of find is different for #OpenBSD, #FreeBSD, and others.

find / -size +10000000c

💡 In my Linux example I used mebibytes. Yes, that silly name thing where we sometimes use 1000 and sometimes binary 2^10 (1024).
