After making my #framework laptop my daily driver, I still had to fix all the #electron applications looking like crap under #wayland (when using fractional scaling).
So another good reason to make a blog post, I guess? :ablobcathappypaws:
Slack, Discord, Spotify, Obsidian, VS-Code, ... now they all look good using 1.25x scaling.
Thunderbird Tipp: Doppelstrich bei der Signatur entfernen
Thunderbird setzt unter der selbst erstellten E-Mail-Signatur einen Doppelstrich. Diesen Doppelstrich oder auch Separator genannt, werde ich in diesem Artikel dauerhaft entfernen.
I was sad to find a surprising lack of visual scripting apps for Linux. Apple's Shortcuts app is very powerful and can be incredibly useful. It's not like we don't have the technical ability to make something similar.
So I started working on one myself :blobfoxfloofcofe:
The mass exodus from #Windows to #Linux (and #Mac) due to #Windows11 and #AI continues. More and more articles, more and more youtube videos about it, or posts on forums. People are switching. If it continues like that, Linux should have 10% desktop marketshare by the end of the decade (and yes, that's a lot).
Shout out to Text Pieces! I needed to URL-encode a big ugly string (creating a template form from URL parameters, yay!) and yep, sure enough, it made it stupidly easy.
The next time you need to encode, transform, or convert some text on Linux, reach for this pretty little offline app instead of pasting your data into some random website. 👍
I see posts calling for folks to write/email/call/smoke signal/wire/semaphore their representatives about the security fuckery of Windows Recall.
I'm more of an "act locally" guy. Email your place of employment's heads of legal and IT stating your concerns, and send them this article. Hell, throw in your local schoolboards and universities to boot.
#Linux#compression
Ah juste un truc absolument génial avec zstd :
Imaginez que vous voulez compresser la sortie d'un dd, netcat ou scp.
Si vous prenez un taux de compression trop bas, vous perdez en ratio de compression.
Si vous le choisissez trop haut, vous perdez du débit (le CPU prenant trop de temps).
Et bien zstd peut s'adapter au débit I/O ou réseau avec l'option --adapt.
Vous aurez ainsi la meilleure compression possible sans ralentir votre débit.
Sempre nell'ottica di voler passare a linux, anche se chissà quando, mi domando: come siamo messi con la questione antivirus, firewall?
Recentemente ho letto diversi messaggi che sollevavano la questione dicendo che più persone passeranno a linux e più questo diverrà suscettibile di attacchi e che al momento non ci sono ancora strumenti di protezione adeguati.
Al netto delle questioni su Recall/Copilot, che ne pensate di queste critiche?
The Linux kernel include/linux/math.h header has macros
roundup(x, y)
and
round_up(x, y)
What do you think they do? Would you know the difference between the two without looking it up? What happens if you mix them up? How significant is the single underscore there?
Bonkers how you can't 3 finger tap an item/link to open it in a new tab on #macOS like you could on #Linux (and #Windows, probably). #Apple forums I was looking into this on all starts with a simple, civilised question and quickly drags into a messy garbage of Apple extremists saying you're stupid for wanting that simple way of opening stuffs in a new tab when you can just either 1) Cmd + Click, 2) 2 finger tap + Open new tab, or 3) Get a mouse - as if those are the same things, when the answer should've been really, "you couldn't".
Sorry für weiteres #NixOS Simping, aber man kann sogar #Flatpak den Nix Way installieren. Einfach geil. :owi:
Wie kommt es, dass NixOS nischiger ist, als #ArchLinux oder #Gentoo? Das ist der beste Weg eine #Linux Distro zu konfigurieren, den ich je gesehen habe. Ich wünschte, ich hätte es früher gekannt. Von NixOS habe ich das erste Mal vielleicht von vor ein paar Monaten oder so gehört.
Dziś mija 27 dzień z #linux. I wiecie co? Generalnie jest bardzo dobrze. Może nie licząc paru gier, które działają średnio, ale zmiana systemu generalnie wyszła i nawet przyjemniej się używa tego komputera.🐧
