Currently at the honeymoon stage with switching to #linux desktop. I've installed regular ol' Ubuntu 25 on a laptop and have been trialing it full time. Gnome seems perfectly fine for me as someone who is so used to #windows desktops.

The fun part is finding new software to use!

That's why I debug in prod /s

Found out a new issue with the k3s cluster, some of my pods started getting `Evicted` because of `DiskPressure`

But why ? There is plenty of disk space available ? All of my data is stored on secondary drives, so they shouldn't even clog the main disk !

Turns out, yes, all the big data is stored on secondary disks, but not my databases... Including their backups !

Some of my machines have ~30Gb of root space and an additional ~500Gb for big storage, so those little roots are getting filled up quite quickly (6 months) with those dbs...

Oh well, down to writing a new StorageClass for that effect I guess

#selfhosted #homelab #production #debug #kubernetes #k3s #cnpg #postgres #db #database #storage #linux #container

To be usable by the less savvy, the Linux desktop lacks stability. Not software stability, but organizational and human stability.

I want maintainers to have a stable income. I want apps to last a decade, instead of having to chase the next rewrite of an abandoned project.

The Linux desktop is a beautiful accident that only exists because people devote part of their lives to it, for better or worse. We ought to support it financially, as a public service.

Kennt das jemand von euch auch noch? Die haben leider 2020 aufgehört, aber die News waren über sehr viele Jahre meine primäre Informationsquelle bzgl. #linux und #opensource

Für mich persönlich hat leider keine andere Seite eine vergleichbare Bedeutung erlangt bzw. die Lücke gefüllt, die pro-linux.de hinterlassen hat. 😢

Can you explain to a non-coder (like, is it even possible) why it's apparently difficult in Linux to create programs so that they take on the design/format of the DE they're in?

This may be a *stupid* question, but I'm curious, so if you feel like waxing poetic, I'd be grateful.

As this month of daily blogging approaches the final stretch, I figured I’d finally get around to asking..

What are you using for #RSS?

Do you have a favourite or preferred #iOS app? Does it have a companion #iPadOS app?

What about #Windows, #Linux and #macOS? Web app?

Mobile phones are rapidly enshittifying. I'm typing this on an iPhone, but they're going to start snooping inside your own photos soon, and Android is ceasing sideloading. I guess I'm getting a refurbed Android and putting Linux on it? It's too soon. Linux for phones is pretty clunky at this point, from what I'm reading, but what choice are they leaving us?

The AI crawler bot arms race has developed more quickly than we hoped, Google pretends to care what the community thinks, full Linux desktop apps are probably coming to Android, Thunderbird shares more details of their paid services and we are interested, and PuTTY has a great new domain name.

#Fedora friends: Is there a good way to download the Fedora Server docs? I only want US English.

I have tried wget but I'm not successfully figuring out how to get it to not download any of the sibling directories. So, for

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-server/

It downloads /es and /ru and /pt_BR and all the other translations too. I only want /en-US and any necessary assets.

Any tips?

Man. This T2 #apple #linux thing was quite the rabbit hole! I don't think I posses the intelligence to get #NixOS going on it, but I was pleased to find #fedora has a patched t2 version that mostly works out of the box!

Figuring out sleep issues, but otherwise pretty solid

@Enalys I encountered #freeware back in the 90s, not knowing what the significance of it really was. The first #openSource I ever used knowing it was free-like-speech was #OpenOffice. That lead me to #Linux which I was not up to using back then.

I tried Aviator at the weekend. It's an easy-to-use GTK4/libadwaita app for encoding AV1 videos on Linux using a quality-focused fork of the SVT-AV1 software encoder — yes, software. Don't be put off, this things is surprisingly fast, super straightforward, and creates high quality conversions at much smaller file sizes. Win-win, right?
