Did you know that instead of using the Windows Linux Subsystem you can actually just install Linux on it's own and then you don't have to use Windows at all?
SAVE THE WAVES STATEMENT ON THE 2024 OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT AT TEAHUPO'O
The surf #ecosystem of Teahupo’o must be protected.
#SaveTheWaves stands with the local community members of #Teahupoo and the Vai ara o Teahupo’o Assocation’s position against the #OlympicCommittee ’s proposed aluminum judges tower. Teahupo’o’s fragile surf ecosystem is made up of live #reefs, a #lagoon, and a freshwater stream.
Knock on wood, but it looks like the latest pre-release of WSL fixes a good bit of the audio issue! Or maybe it was just me getting rid of Fedora and just using basic Ubuntu for WSL, supported by Microsoft and all that. Now let me tell y'all, getting Emacs and Emacspeak working was a pain in my big fat butt! Had to install libasound*, TCL*, TK, TK-dev*, ffmpeg, mpg123, m-player, and probably some other things I'm not thinking about. Oh and build-essential. An asterisk means the glob character, that and everything that comes after those letters. Ugh. We just need Doctor Raman to make a Linux distro with Emacspeak preinstalled and ready to go lol
Course announcement:
Need to use more computer power, but this "#linux#shell" thing holding you back? Come learn the basics of being comfortable with a #LinuxShell for basic science and data management (#bash actually, but applies to other things like #OsX and #WSL. Course is hosted for #finland, but we welcome others, too.
You can give a Microsoft person a main ballroom to speak in, and they can give an excellent talk on #WSL... But you can't get many of the Linux conference attendees to show up for it. ☹️
Got SSH #Yubikey logins working natively in Windows Terminal. Pretty slick vs depending on #Kleopatra and Remote Desktop Manager (slow) But still think processes are... Unclear. So, when you create the key, it requires a Yubikey PIN. But when you use it to login, the PIN isn't needed. Guessing it's a setting somewhere. Why wouldn't you require the PIN - because the key pointer file is required (2nd factor)? https://developers.yubico.com/SSH/Securing_SSH_with_FIDO2.html #SysAdmin#MSP#SSH#WSL
with this #qgisserver docker container it is possible to open a #qgis GUI to inspect visually what the #server is seeing. Useful for developing and debugging. It even works on #wsl on windows. #gischat#gis
#MSYS and #Cygwin are really useful when one is running #Windows :windows8:
Of course, #WSL helps to.
I just personally like the integration of #Cygwin and #MSYS
For quite a while now, I have relied on terminal into my Windows Subsystem for Linux on my main workstation, as my daily driver. While it works all right for most cases, there are certain compatibility issues that requires a "... in WSL" search term for documentations/issues.
Close to a month now I have been using a #Ubuntu#terminal only VM on my #homelab#Proxmox cluster. For ones who can roll this out, this seems the best approach.
