CIQ Ascender Pro Gives Enterprise Linux the Power to Proactively Fix the Underlying Infrastructure https://techstrong.it/featured/ciq-ascender-pro-gives-enterprise-linux-the-power-to-proactively-fix-the-underlying-infrastructure/ by @sjvn

Ascender Pro can detect issues across #Linux servers, decide what to do, & automatically apply fixes.

Whoever fixed the #nixos calamares installer upstream to actually show progress (instead of just hanging out at 46% forever), THANK YOU!

The #nixbook installer has inherited this as well, and makes me gleefully happy!

Hi @jwildeboer @_elena,
I ponder getting me 2 #heltec v3[1] 870MHz for me here in #Traunstein (between Rosenheim-Salzburg), to experiment with #Meshcore and #Mestastic with #Linux Mint and #FreeBSD. (And for the youth-hacker-meetup I host)
Can you recommend a supplier and a setup? (Not Amazon)

Seems like it's been a busy week for the Alpine devs.

This weekend the repo upgrades linux-stable from 7.0.10 > 7.1.3; Plasma from 6.6.5 > 6.6.6. I'll be keeping an eye on the later. Ha.

Maybe I'll take a swipe at trying the 7800 XT (RDNA3) card in my main machine again to see if things have improved. It's too nice out to be screwing around in the lab today.

I've been running Linux since 1993 and to this day, I'm still learning. It's what I love so much about running Linux and FOSS. I can't even imagine what it would be like to be stuck running only a proprietary OS or apps.

I've also been running FreeBSD on and off for years, but that's about to change to running FreeBSD daily. Not replacing Linux, but running it along with Linux.

Sorry, just a simple appreciation post for FOSS, all the projects, and most importantly, all of the folks who devote their time to developing this wonderful software.

The first two months of your one-weekend linux project will be the most rewarding years of your life. #linux

@dnkl's Fuzzel launcher for #Linux has a couple video reviews on YouTube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4am_n25wOuI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXmzrarN2jk

If there's a summary from both, if might be that if you want a simple and blazing fast launcher and dmenu tool, choose Fuzzel. If you want advanced theming, stick with Rofi.

Huh. I must have already updated to the new Debian. I had to reboot twice yesterday.
