I do things. I am a macOS, Slackware, classic gaming enjoyer. I also tend to gravitate toward ARM things. Friends call me loco, internet calls me r0ni. But really I’m Jay and I’m 100% “loco” ;)

This news really …

@ernie I was today years old when I realized not only is Winamp still developed, but it’s also available for iOS. But does it work with the NSF plugin I’d so dearly love to use with it? Probably not. But I’m not nearly enticed enough to download… 😂

@r1w1s1
What about

alias sudo=‘run0’

I’ve brought my Plasma 6 package set up to date with the latest patch from LuckyCyborg over at LQ. I’ve moved it all into a directory on mega for simplicity for now. https://mega.nz/folder/ZwY02J6K#kizp9KM9EcSSBgHlGiPPrQ

Stop everything you're doing right now and share your home screen.

Is it chaos or elegance?

I'll start:

@jloc0@mastodon.social avatar

@ernie I seem to be the only iOS user, but my Home Screen is pretty plain, if anything moves, I lose my mind. There’s 3 more pages of apps tucked into folders, but we won’t show that absolute nightmare fuel of disorganization. 😂

So, when I was growing up, students at my high school described the devil horns hand gesture—i.e. 🤟or 🤘, sometimes 🤙—using the word “boggs.” It was used essentially the entire time I was in school by most of the male student body, and I have no idea why they described it with this word. I have never heard it beyond my high school days.

Does anyone know why “boggs” was associated with this symbol?

I’m actually impressed with Plasma 6 Wayland on the rpi5. It detects the cpu in “About this System”, transparency effects work, everything feels smooth so far. We’ll see if the screen can wake from sleep. That seems to be a killer on other desktops.

@jloc0@mastodon.social avatar

#opensuse #aeon is like a 3gb ISO and it’s basically a bare gnome desktop. I can get a 3gb liveslak and ship all the ap/ & l/ sets of Slackware AND use native package managers to maintain it with. Aeon didn’t even have nano installed. What the hell is on that ISO? 😂 I really want to map it all out and see if I can make a comparable live system. Ya know, for funsies.

I also refreshed what I’m calling the “pkg_dump” of #slackware #aarch64 package builds yesterday. There’s a shit-ton of stuff there, like a full gnome 46 desktop, and the latest Firefox 125.0.1, MAME, i3, sway, hyprland, etc. https://slackware.lngn.net/pub/aarch64/pkg_dump/

Incredibly often, it seems that Safari fails to load a website. It happens both on my Mac and iPhone and has been happening for a long time. I think this has to do with my WiFi, but I fail to see anything unusual in my Ubiquiti setup.

Anyone seeing similar issues with Safari, or is this some issue in my Internet setup?

(Yes, I've tried disabling all extensions)

jloc0,
@jloc0@mastodon.social avatar

@simonbs I rarely use Safari in my Mac but this hasn’t happened to me on iOS. But this does happen constantly to me on Epiphany on Linux using WebKit-gtk and it drives me crazy. Generally I stick to Firefox unless it’s iOS because this issue happens far too often and I hate losing my place or work flow over WebKit issues.

never let me down. The stability and usability really is from another world.
You can throw any workflow at it and it will not stutter, hang or crash.
Just the right thing for any Sysadmin doing work. 🙂

Combine this with or any and you got a match made in heaven 😎

Updated the repo earlier with the python 3.11 upgrades, as well as pushed all the other updates needed in other repos. NOW I can focus on real updates like hyprland and updating the WebKit-gtk package and deps. Wee! https://slackware.lngn.net/

jloc0, to random
@jloc0@mastodon.social avatar

Initial python3.11 update pushed to the repo. I think it should all be good, I’ll fix up any issues later. It’s past my bed time now. Let me know if anything’s broken! 👍

@jloc0@mastodon.social avatar

Any users want to try the latest hyprland, I’m not adding it to the repo (yet) but I put the needed pkgs here: https://slackware.lngn.net/pub/staging/ install/upgrade them in your existing (x86_64) install. It works, but I haven’t tested all the things yet.

jloc0, to random
@jloc0@mastodon.social avatar

Updated dav1d, libaom, and webkit2gtk-2.44.0 for and the readme’s still read, so I’ll call these upgrades safe to push to the repo today. I’ll have to look and see if anything else has slipped past me, but I think we’re basically all up to date already, except for hyprland (and updates always break things), I’ll look into that one. https://slackware.lngn.net/pub/x86_64/slackware64-current/nwg-shell/ChangeLog.txt

I had pushed the updated 24.2.1.2 package earlier today. Get it from the repo if you’d like or not ;) https://slackware.lngn.net/pub/aarch64/slackwareaarch64-current/libreoffice/

I finally pushed a new ISO today! A LOT has changed since the last one a month ago. @nwgpiotr has added a webkitgtk-based inline doc reader which also can read everything in /usr/doc, everything nwg-* has had updates, and I’ve even put sway v1.9-rc3 on the iso as my testing says it’s nice and stable. Enjoy! https://rekt.lngn.net/nwg/

If I wanted to re-live an alternate childhood and experience the SNES/TurboGrafx/Neo Geo classics, on the couch, which way should I go? Analogue Pocket or Steam Deck OLED?

I like the idea of FPGA emulation but that screen looks so tiny…

jloc0,
@jloc0@mastodon.social avatar

@paul get a MiSTer it’s better than the analogue, cheaper, open source, and can be almost whatever you want it to be.

jloc0,
@jloc0@mastodon.social avatar

@Fleedar @paul portable sure. He asked for things he could play “on the couch”. Buying the attachment to enjoy a Pocket on the couch is another cost. Plus games, flash carts, controllers, and all that. MiSTer also has these extra costs but all these things depend on what you already might own. In the end, they are both expensive toys marketed with tons of ways to spend more money on them.

About a month into my daily-driving Linux experience and I gotta say I’m quite happy. I have made a few changes with my setup that have made it a really good fit for my needs.

@ernie Ernie! I’ve missed social interaction with you since I dropped Twitter. Nice to find you here ;) also nice to see you’re using Linux, it’s my secret happy place. lol

@ernie aren’t we all? ;) what Linux distro have you fallen for? I’ve always been a Slackware guy, but dabble in CRUX as well (when I’m not using a Mac anyway).
