TIL, wget2 is the successor of GNU Wget with much faster download speed due to usage of parallel connections and other such stuff. You can install wget using APT or DNF or package manager of your choice. But they have a web page too https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2

If you want "say" on #Linux, here's a wrapper to make that work:

festival --tts <<<"$@"

Stick that in a file called ~/bin/say (or somewhere else in $PATH) and chmod +x it.

Xfce running on Wayland on openSUSE, Canonical laid off the printing guy, Mozilla pisses people off with AI tab groups, and what the post-x86 world will look like for desktop Linux. Plus a handy way to save and run project-specific commands, turning any device into a file server, and a convoluted way to get wind data from planes. With guest hosts Gary from Linux After Dark and Hybrid Cloud Show, and Kevin from Linux Dev Time.

My #Linux metaphor:

Linux is the "kernel." Think of it like the engine of a car. All Linux distributions use that kernel or a version of it.

Distributions are when you build the car around that engine: wheels, brakes, drive train, lights, windows, the chassis, etc.

The desktop environment is the interior of the car: seats, heating, radio, steering wheel, dashboard, etc. A Toyota interior is different than a Nissan.

Hey all, I have an older computer that I want to try switching from Windows to Linux. What do you think? Privacy and security are important to me, so I'm not keen to just rely on a PCMag article that says to download certain things. Ubuntu versus Mint? Not an IT person here....

Hey, Linux folks: does anyone have a sense of when/if there will ever be automated distribution version upgrades? Like, way back in the early 90s, I could install one version of Windows on top of another and lose nothing, but I screwed up my Deb 12 to Deb 13 upgrade and had to wipe it and start from scratch. That's on me, ofc, but an automated system would have saved me.

Thoughts?

Just upgraded my test laptop to #Debian #Trixie. Upgrade process couldn't have been any smoother...or any more boring!

Will be upgrading the daily driver this week.

This is one of the reasons why I love Debian. Rock solid stability, predictable, and boring aren't just for servers!

Someone says, "You can't game on Linux". To that, a man (Rick) replies with an angry expression, saying, "Every Windows game I play on Linux without your permission raises my self esteem". You can also see a little boy (Morty) standing towards the left.

Dear #BSD / #Anti_SystemD peeps,

Please make friends with #Linux-only, #Systemd fans.

#X114EVR peeps, please make friends with #Wayland fans.

The only way the community at large moves forward is to keep conflict within the domain of friendship. That way we can hold our differences, and learn to synthesize the disagreements.

And please, please don't assume that someone is your ally just because they agree with you on one technical point. I don't have a problem with X11 being maintained until the end of time, I just don't want it to be led by someone with really horrible/destructive politics.

It's not #CancelCulture, it's mercy. I would like to see a destructive ideology "canceled," but people are never my enemy.

Edit: minor re-phrasing of last paragraph

When the moral authority of Linus Torvalds goes, so might the Linux (kernel) project.

Good piece in The Register.

Debian turned 32 today! 🎉

💡 The Debian project was officially founded on August 16, 1993, by Ian Murdock. This day is also known as Debian Day.

#linux #debian

Alt...

Happy Birthday, Debian, August 16, 1993. There are two numerical balloons over the Debian logo on the left that say 32. Below, there are many balloons and confetti.

My current theory is that the issue lies somewhere in the confluence of three things...

* libtorrent uses memory maps files
* I'm in the habit of using zram swap, for in-memory compressed swap, with the defaults, so up to 32Gb (pre-compression) can be stored here
* I recently switched from btrfs to ZFS, with the default 50% host memory ARC cache

I didn't see this behaviour before the switch to ZFS, so perhaps I need to tune some things here?

Heya folks, we've decided to defer sync until Monday while we work on an eopkg bug causing failed updates in unusual cases. The bug was introduced inadvertently with a change made to eopkg this week. Users on the stable repository (Shannon) are not affected.
