The git master of #Gajim by @gajim gets better and better. Now there are not only message reactions and message replies, but also an easy way to record and send voice messages! The next release will be amazing!
It is already in #Debian experimental for those who like to try it. Note, that the database gets migrated, so make a backup before running the new version!
I think I've whinged here before about my difficulties with #Shotwell after switching from #Ubuntu to #Debian. Well, I've fixed it, and I've published a gist in case anyone wants to do the same.
We continue advancing with the development of our VPN client that will be available within Midori web browser, this is a short video about how it works.
Umm... can someone who has the spoons handy log an issue that their latest release (non-beta) tarball is double-gzipped? (https://github.com/gwsw/less/issues)
#SpoonTheory -- I'm doing fine, but dealing with github REALLY DOES cost a couple extra spoons even when you're having a good day, lol. Stop using that MSFTy GPL-violating crap, my peeps! :P~
"line wrap":

word wrap:

I've been using fmt to do word wrap, but the great thing about having it baked into less is that the output gets re-wrapped whenever the terminal size is adjusted, and not only when the text is first viewed.
The new #apt version in #Debian unstable is SO GOOD.
If you run Debian or a derivative, I recommend grabbing it from somewhere and giving it a spin.
The "Space needed" overview needs some UX love as it shows kB/MB/GB next to each other without making the relations obvious at a glance. But other than that... sooo good.
Our work advances with MidoriVPN, a private and secure system that uses #wireguard Multiple instances and mesh technology. Soon to be integrated into #midoribrowser.
I just did a fresh install in the past week-ish to migrate to KDE from GNOME, and wanted a fresh start.
ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 (AMD): Debian 12 with GNOME
Previously ran Pop!_OS with the development version of COSMIC DE. I wanted a Debian-based laptop to more closely reflect the Debian servers that I use to host my Wait Wait Stats stuff. I'm not going testing or unstable, since I don't run those on my servers.
Surface Pro 3: Fedora 40 (KDE spin)
I did a fresh install this week to clear out some of the lingering issues from an install of a pre-release version of the KDE spin of Fedora 40.
I initially wanted to see how FreeBSD would run on the Surface Pro 3, but I didn't want to tempt fate as I sometimes take the Surface with me on the go.
Meiner Meinung nach wird in der Open-Source Szene die IT-Sicherheit nicht versprochen, sondern meistens rasch umgesetzt und frei verteilt. Auch wenn das hier nun anders ist.
»Linux – root-Lücke wird aktiv missbraucht:
Die IT-Sicherheitsbehörde CISA warnt vor aktiven Angriffen auf eine Linux-Lücke. Angreifer verschaffen sich damit root-Rechte.«
@blackstream@kubikpixel genau das ist der Punkt: die Schwachstelle ist schon vor Längerem in den stabilen und lange gepflegten kernels beseitigt worden. Lange vor der Veröffentlichung!
Das schafft so mancher Softwarehersteller nicht. 😜
Here is my new GNU/Linux distribution guide about Debian KDE 12, the right GNU/Linux distribution for professional digital painting in 2024! Also about three major problems with GNU/Linux distros that will drive away all professional artists, IMO, and how I got kicked out of the Fedora KDE ecosystem with F40, which imposed Plasma6 and Wayland. I hope it helps other artists here!
@davidrevoy wow, this was so much more thorough and comprehensive than I was expecting on first click. Lovely job and writing (and I also love your art)!
@ben Uh, didn't know that they had different plans in 2021. I was mostly referring to this post from 2022 (they seemed to have changed their PoV fast): https://usebottles.com/blog/an-open-letter/
I can totally see their point though - it's essentially an example of the difficulties people used to have with long-term stable distros like CentOS, at some point you want to be able to use newer deps without breaking a chunk of your users
