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” ;)

I pushed a rebuild of LibreOffice 24.2.3 for today. KDE6 is still chugging away, I’m building with the latest Gear 24.05 because there’s no reason to use the old 24.02 sources, so my tarball will be a bit more recent than the x86 one. I want to look at the newly added apps yet as well, some fun ones in there. https://slackware.lngn.net

@ernie I was not aware icq still worked at all. I haven’t been on since like 1999 or so, I thought it died forever ago.

One of the fun parts of being a mirror operator is that you get to deal with China Mobile using ISO download mirrors to fix their traffic ratios with other ISPs at peering points.

Looks like they've moved to using Slackware now...

@kwf I know quite a few mirrors who’ve already noticed this and taken action to ban the IPs as of 12 or so hours ago. Was slowing things down for many users of these services.

Open Source TinaCMS Has Been Acquired https://news.itsfoss.com/tinacms-acquired/

@passthejoe I had half setup Hugo and started using it for a hot minute, never migrated site to it but it’s still on my agenda, some day. I just read about TinaCMS the other day, and I can’t even look at it, because I don’t want any ideas. Ideas are bad news. 😂

@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… 😂

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

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 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/

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@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 #LibreOffice 24.2.1.2 #aarch64 #slackware 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/

was Red Hat. A week long download on 56k ISO mind you. The amount of fuckery that held that distro together almost turned me off Linux. Gave Mandrake a try eventually, though it felt just like Red Hat, it was slightly better. Found a special thing when I tried out ZipSlack. ZipSlack gave me the courage to go full-on Slackware and I loved it, and have used Slackware ever since. Once you go Slack you never go back.

I've put online my QT6 build AND I've started a little temporary repo for . Since it's currently having major lag from the x86 Slackware, and there's been a ton of security updates the past week, I've built ALL the updates so users can be as secure as their Intel brethren. Leech the packages or add to slackpkg+ and let it do the talking here: https://slackware.lngn.net/pub/aarch64/slkupdiff/
QT6-6.6.1 is sitting all alone in https://slackware.lngn.net/pub/aarch64/

I’ve found a glibc/gettext bug on , I noticed last week or so on arm64 port, which now happened on x86 today to me. But diagnosing the issue is going to be a pain point, cuz who tf wants to mess with glibc? Anyway, now I’m messing with glibc. I’ll break all the things.

Also in my spare time I’ve been prepping a document for installing Slackware-ARM on VMware-Fusion in an Apple Silicon machine. Because it seems people still haven’t figured it out. Basically in the note taking stage while I install/reinstall and do things over and over. FUN, fun.

@volkerdi the people are saying the ssl certs have expired. I believe at mirrors.slackware.com.

I want to do some meta packages for people who don’t want to use my pre-builds to make desktop installls easier. And I plan to add lxqt and more software until I reach a point of not being able to keep track of it all. 😂 But just enough stuff to have a decent repo for -current available. I don’t plan to ever have all that SBo has, just a curated set of things I feel should be available to slackers who choose to live on the edge.

Alright, I’ll do something productive since I took the day off work. Building libreoffice 7.6.3.2 for #slackware #aarch64 and I’ll push the updates I’m sitting on for #nwgshell once I check and ensure I didn’t break any packages.

jloc0, to random
@jloc0@mastodon.social avatar

Pushed some #nwgshell #slackware updates for the latest golang 1.22.4, nwg-hello 0.2.1, and hyprwayland-scanner 0.3.9 - https://slackware.lngn.net
