If you develop for #linux please make offline installation possible, for people in countries with restricted internet. Came back home last night and today I want to install Luminance HDR but their only option for linux is via the terminal, and yet, while I can access full internet on my phone using a VPN, I can't access any on my laptop/workstations, so I can't install this program, unless I use Wine. I'm in #Uganda They cut off internet during elections and it has now been partially restored.

Can you clarify? All Linux flavors I've worked on have man page structures thus Documentation.
Even when I compiled the kernel from scratch in the pre alpha days, the source code had comments including all GNU Richard Stallman sources

Zero complaints! I mean, zero serious complaints. There are one or two minor things I haven't figured out yet, but for the most part, it feels just like #Linux, except that, you know... it has DOCUMENTATION. 😂

Been going through the Mir documentation, building out the next iteration of the @buddiesofbudgie Magpie compositor (expect me to also refer to it as Mirpie 😁 ).

Despite some setbacks getting the thing to run, just in a matter of a few hours we went from no compositor to one that is able to run budgie-panel. Good stuff, looking forward to continuing to iterate on it!

#OpenSource #Linux #Budgie

God I hate Windows.

So trying to get my teenager running #steam on #linux. There are 2 games that must run, or this is a failure:

• Rocket League
• Apex Legends

The Epic game launcher (Rocket League) is not running properly, and it seems like maybe I could fix that.

Steam runs great, generally speaking.

But as far as I can tell, EA has deliberately broken #ApexLegends so that it won't run on Proton, Wine, or Steam Decks.

That's a total deal breaker. If anybody knows something about #gaming on Linux and how to get around this, I"m all ears.

I gave him an NVME drive to install Linux on, and it was amazing: fast, easy, etc. But now he's like 'hey, can we just move Windows to that NVME drive? It's so much faster.'

If I can't get Apex Legends running, that's what I'm going to spend hours doing soon: Fighting the fucking Microsoft licensing demons to move his Windows install from SSD to NVME.

any ideas?

I self-host my own e-mail servers for ~25 years now. Just finished he migration to a new system today.

- OS: FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE
- MTA: Postfix 3.10
- IMAP: Dovecot 2.3
- Filter: Rspamd 3.14

I used Imapsync to migrate the content of my Mailboxes from the old to the new system. Worked absolutely fine.

Having the E-Mail Jail and the mailbox data on an encrypted ZFS dataset (AES256) that's manually unlocked with my passphrase after rebooting the system. Backups are done via ZFS send/recv to by backup server (-w for raw send to ensure, data is encrypted at rest)

- SPF: ✅
- DKIM Signing: ✅
- DMARC Reporting: ✅
- E-Mail delivery to major providers: ✅
- IPv6 working and actually being used: ✅

All working perfectly well. In about a week, I'll decomission the old Debian based system, that I used since 2017!

#LiquidGlass is *nothing*. It's not even terrible enough to be remarkable. It is, however, confirmation that #Apple has no ideas for improving #UI / #UX and isn't truly interested in it. They've got nothing because that's not the business they're in any more.

#FOSS #FLOSS #OpenSource #Linux

I know not everyone can switch to #Linux. There are lots of valid reasons for it not being an option--software that's become industry standard, employers dictating what you can use, etc.--but really a lot of people who think they can't would do fine with #LinuxMint or #Ubuntu.

#FOSS #FLOSS #OpenSource

#GU / #UI / #UX innovation is happening in #OpenSource bc they're not captured by #BigTech / #ai and aren't in the ad/data business. Half of open-source aren't even businesses!

Seriously, just switch to #Linux.

It has been a few months since the debate around Framework's sponsorship choices. I am curious where the community currently stands.

How much does Framework's financial support of controversial project maintainers (Vaxry and DHH) impact their reputation in the open/privacy space?

I've been on #linux for a few months. I'm not a computer scientist / gamer / developer, and I updated my laptop to Zorin 18 without problems last night. #linux is nowhere near as hard as it was over a decade ago when I first tried it (and gave up). I started with getting a usb boot with a dozen distros to try for $10, so you don't even have to do the "create a usb boot thingie" yourself anymore. It's worth a try.
