"Torvalds discusses with remarkable openness the personality traits that prompted his unique philosophy of work, engineering and life. "I am not a visionary, I'm an engineer," Torvalds says. "I'm perfectly happy with all the people who are walking around and just staring at the clouds ... but I'm looking at the ground, and I want to fix the pothole that's right in front of me before I fall in."

It was a brief mention, but we're grateful for the positive feedback on our change proposal process from @thelinuxEXP :)

The Fedora change process is supposed to be open and transparent so that contributors and also users can discuss the finer points of Fedora. It's an invitation to see how we work and even engage yourself.

We're glad that folks see the value and participate!

I think I've gotten further with this #FreeBSD #wine issue, knowledge-wise. The program I run for it does some live patching in memory (basically reads in a .dll and binary patches it in memory)

This all runs just fine in #Linux but fails in FreeBSD.

The system call I could find for it in WINE debugging was: KERNEL32.ReadProcessMemory

I also get this dreaded message:
wineserver: file_set_error() can't map error: Cannot allocate memory

This is FreeBSD 14.3, wine-devel 10.12.
Have tried disabling ASLR, enabling W^X (which I know is bad), have tried both 64-bit and 32-bit (WINEARCH=win32) prefixes. Same problem happens.

Is FreeBSD preventing WINE programs from reading each others' memory? I don't even know if it even got to the write part, it couldn't read it at all.

Please boost far and wide and many thanks in advance to anyone in the FreeBSD gaming community who might know the answer here (or a friendly FreeBSD dev?)

EDIT: Original problem fixed but getting out of memory errors. Can anyone recommend some good FreeBSD WINE gaming sysctl settings or memory settings?

Dream come true yesterday!

I got to talk to a packed room of normal (non technical people) at the local library about how important it is to upcycle computers, and how Linux can save the world in this respect.

Thanks to all the people who showed up, supported, donated laptops and listened. We even gave away 9 free laptops at the event.

Library said it was the most well attended event they've had! So will be many more of these in the future. :)

"'Here's what I do' versus 'You should'"

A bit of a gripe about people who tell others what they *should* do.

#Homelab/#Networking question: I just realise that 'setting a static #IPv6 address' on a (#Linux) server is not as simple as it'd be with #IPv4 - one of the reasons being, realising, that the address prefix changes when my router restarts (i.e. due to any configuration changes).

When that network address prefix changes, obviously, any 'static' IPv6 address I'd like to set for my server would just be rendered invalid, since the network address portion/prefix is no longer applicable.

On my #TP-Link router, under IPv6 LAN settings, I saw an option to configure the Address Prefix - however, this field is currently prefilled with the network address prefix my servers/client devices are currently using/assigned to, and it is immutable (not configurable). To make it configurable, I could set a different setting on the same page called Prefix Delegation to Disable instead of its default, Enable.

My idea is to disable it, set an address prefix, and save/apply it - my expectation is, after the router restarts, all IPv6 addresses on my network will have that prefix, and it'll never change unless I explicitly do so (again, on the router). Is my idea right? or am I getting it tooootally wrong (which is possible bcos IPv6 is something else)?

Not invented here syndrome is very common in open source. We get into why that is, when it makes sense to start your own project from scratch, and how contributing to existing software can sometimes be better for everyone.

@BrideOfLinux cool, didn't know that. Try out #linux in your browser

The easiest way to test out a new #Linux distro is to use DistroSea. This website offers 60+ Linux distributions that can run right in your browser.

@triple This is good. I agree. There are definitely times when someone asks the #linux equivalent of “what pot should I use to grow herbs in my window planter” and they get a #selfhost reply “keeping a cow in your back yard gets you a lot more food and it’s not that hard.” I am sure I’ve been that guy (with the cow advice) sometimes. Gotta meet people where they are in order to get them to go someplace else.

Bash cheat sheet right at your fingertips:

function ch() {
if [ $# -eq 2 ]; then
curl "cht.sh/$1/$2";
else
curl "cht.sh/$1";
fi;
}
alias cs='chtsh'

I want a log viewer* which can summarise log lines so I can group the similar ones. Either like take the entropy of each into account and either redact that out or otherwise pattern match them.

Example of some lines which my crude: remove the time, sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head will still see as unique.
```
time="2025-08-09T20:54:16Z" level=info msg="COMPACT compacted from 264962072 to 264962627 in 1 transactions over 22ms"
time="2025-08-09T20:59:16Z" level=info msg="COMPACT compacted from 264962627 to 264963177 in 1 transactions over 57ms"
```

For each format it is possible to come up with a rule to "group" things, I guess that's basically what people use LogStash for. However I don't care to maintain such things for whatever software I install on my system.

Know of such a tool? Am I barking up the wrong tree?

P.S., I really hope someone gets the 1980s movie reference. Even though I've never seen said movie. 😄

@nixCraft It's because the Linux desktop market doesn't generate nearly the profits the server market does. Unfortunately.

Traditionally, the corporate #Linux distros' desktop lineup is more limited than the standard desktop distros. Fewer bundled packages and supported third party packages.

The OS was Debian Linux - you can see a printed Tux near the keyboard.
No broadband connection, just a 56k modem.
Iomega Zip drive - so I could download stuff at Uni and bring it back home.
One year later, this became my first 24/7 server.

"backdoor" is the new "virus" in overused and wrongly applied terminology.

Over at the facesite I came across a piece (Not linking to that sh*t) about "Linux malware PLAGUE" which describes a piece of software that is useful *post-compromise* to whoever wants to hide their tracks.

Not a backdoor because it requires already established access. #cybercrime #backdoor #security #linux #fluff

Fun personal fact: First time I tried to install Linux, I downloaded and burned Fedora *source* isos which didn't work (5 discs, IIRC). I then successfully downloaded and installed DEBIAN (only 1 disc), but got a command line prompt. After testing every DOS/NT command I knew, I never got a GUI, so I went back and burned the proper Fedora Core installer (another 5 discs).

In an alternative reality, I would have been a Debian loyalist.
