I messed around a bit again …

If my Downloads folder already looks like trash 2, why don’t I treat it like trash – and with that force myself to keep my $HOME more organised and clean?

# Running a law firm on Free software (2024 edition)

I was chatting with someone over the weekend about the viability of running a (small) business on Linux and other Free software.

It works for me, and seemingly the many clients with whom I work (who don't all use FOSS!).

That's all I can say, really. To each, their own.

From the Orca mailing list:

Hey all.

I plan to make all of Orca's commanded executable over DBus. It's going
to be a ton of work and I'm only getting started. That said, I just
landed what I have so far to Orca's main branch.

For users who said Orca must have a means for apps to tell it what to
say, Orca now has that. To try it -- assuming you have the very latest
Orca from the main branch -- do

gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.Orca.Service --object-path
/org/gnome/Orca/Service --method org.gnome.Orca.Service.PresentMessage
"Bla bla bla I'm a message"

For those saying Orca's speech should be controllable, by other apps,
see what's available by doing:

gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.Orca.Service --object-path
/org/gnome/Orca/Service/SpeechAndVerbosityManager --method
org.gnome.Orca.Module.ListCommands

Hopefully one of those commands is what you need. To learn more about
how to use them, here's some documentation:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/orca/-/blob/main/README-REMOTE-CONTROLLER.md

Please play with it and let me know what you think.

Thrilled to have a new, production-ready CI/CD pipeline live! It automatically builds and deploys my Jekyll static WIP site (https://hofstede.it) on every push to the main branch.

The architecture is a showcase of modern Linux tools:

🔹 Server running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 (RHEL)
🔹 Forgejo for Git hosting & Actions.
🔹 A rootless Forgejo Runner, running in Podman, managed by a systemd Quadlet file.
🔹 Traefik reverse proxy running as a Podman container.
🔹 An Nginx web server for the site, also in a container for easy discovery by Traefik.

The Forgejo Runner and the Nginx Webserver run in different unprivileged user contexts.

The magic is the secure bridge between the rootless CI job and the web server. The pipeline creates a build artifact, and a systemd.path watcher on the host instantly triggers a deployment script.
It's fully decoupled, secure, and works like a charm.

Me after installing a linux distro on the laptop of fresh computer science students 😅

#linux #penguin #opensource #funny

Help #Linux peeps.. What are some clean #gtk easy to use software centers that are available in #nixos and integrate with #flatpak .

I'm currently using gnome-software in my nixbook project (that runs cinnamon desktop) and it's pissing me off with system level notifications I can't seem to silence.

I'd love to find another option

StarkStrom Rollout 2025: Welcome Baby Hübner!

We have been supporting StarkStrom from for years and were on-site again for this year’s rollout. Last Thursday the team presented its new vehicle for the 2025 season.

Bien bien bien.
Et si je vous dis que je vais encore changer de distribution Linux 😅 ?

Zoom ne fonctionne pas correctement sur Fedora KDE Wayland.

Donc, j'envisage de retourner sur Mint et y paramétrer un bureau KDE Plasma 6 Wayland.

Vous croyez que ça peut le faire ou bien je vais encore me retrouver avec Zoom non fonctionnel ? (Ça fonctionnait parfaitement sur Mint en bureau X11)

In this week's #Linux & #OpenSource News video, there's an X.org fork surrounded by some pretty weird controversies, we have Denmark beginning the switch to Linux and Open Source, and Google making changes to Android source code's release that will definitely make custom ROMs a lot harder to build:

Alright, I am one day into using #Bazzite #Linux as a replacement for Windows 11 as my #gaming platform.

Games that run flawlessly so far (via Steam).

Coral Island
FTL
BSG: Deadlock
Starfield

Many more to check.

Starfield actually runs better under Bazzite than it ever did under Windows 11, no more random freezes, and I have the graphics cranked higher!

For those on Fedora 42 KDE, with AMD GPUs:

I've noticed that the kernel version 6.14.8-300.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit) completely freezes my system due to some GPU issues.

If you have this bug too, share info here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2359116

However kernel 6.14.6-300.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit) works just fine.

Just wanted to raise awareness if someone else has same issue. Just boot to older kernel and things should be ok!

Full specs:

Operating System: Fedora Linux 42
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.80
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0
Qt Version: 6.9.0
Kernel Version: 6.14.6-300.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor
Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.5 GiB usable)
Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6600

Buenísimo el post de @fede sobre la necesidad de deconstruir nuestro en ocasiones fanatismo hacia el #software_libre:

Sobre la libertad y el fetichismo de las herramientas (o la inutilidad de algunas discusiones sobre licencias de software)
