According to thisWiFi should work with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS 64 Bit Did you install 24.04 or 22.04 ?
I’d expect most USB devices to work out of the box. Did you try : sudo dhclient ?
Easiest is probably to perform an installation that comes with a GUI. If the default Ubuntu installation iso is too large, there’s for example Lubuntu.
There has been a lot of talk about companies and individuals adopting licenses that aren’t OSI opensource to protect themselves from mega-corp leechers. Developers have also been condemned who put donation notices in the command-line or during package installation. Projects with opensource cores and paid extensions have also...
Three examples of open source software where at least one developer could give up their regular job and work full-time on the open source project. I’m sure there’s more (The Linux kernel maybe ?) :
In both cases possible because of people donating. The last example is quite remarkable given the personal history of the developer and the fact that it was “just” a fun project with the developer sharing videos about programming for the fun project.
A popular way of dealing with discussions, and familiar to most people, I assume. As far as I see it, adding a poll system to Lemmy is a good way to enhance user engagement. I’m not really aware if this has been a topic before or not, tried looking it up but didn’t see much juice on the topic, so thought I’d spark it up....
The announcement resolves one of my last fears for Aux: development on Nix itself. It is no secret that the number of people knowledgeable about the project and are willing to work on this CPP codebase is small. You have probably seen me mention multiple times by now that @sig_cli needs all of the help that we can get. Lix resolves this entirely with a trusted team of experts. This means that Aux is now able to remove Nix development from our priorities and can instead collaborate with Lix moving forward.
According to this Samba 4.16 removed the support for the old SMB1 Protocol.
Looking here : packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=samba you can see the difference between Jammy and Noble : 4.15 -> 4.19 So it looks like you’re out of luck with fast and easy solutions. Maybe downloading the older Samba package and its dependencies and downgrade and then put the package on “hold” is maybe possible. During such an attempt using aptitude instead of apt could be helpful.
Xscreensaver has apparently been checking for updates and is disappointed that it hasn't had one for 14 months because Debian is too stable. Can anyone recommend a linux screensaver which would work with xfce and can be trusted to never do that?
Well, if you read some more of jwz’s blog posts about the horrible security bugs that others have added while creating derivatives of Xscreensaver you might think twice before doing so. www.jwz.org/blog/…/i-told-you-so-2021-edition For me a screensaver is no longer about trying to prevent dead pixels (or something like that) but being able to safely lock the screen when being away from it for a while.
I use Proton. But I continue to run into more and more websites and services that detect my VPN and refuse my connection, or just run literally 40 captchas in a row until I just give up....
um I don’t use a vpn. Please tell me why I should use a VPN.
It is up to you to use a VPN or not. Some people use a VPN to watch regular TV series which are blocked in their own country. Some people, like myself, despise the ad- and tracking- exploitation industry, other people may want to download e-books from anna’s archive or simply do not trust their ISP. Other people live in countries where their government is very oppressive and intends to arrest and torture any critical voices.
Mastodon is about micro-blogging, with text, images and videos. PixelFed is only about images which can have a short or longer description. There’s Loops, a work in progress, which will enable short videos for PixelFed. If you would follow others on PixelFed from your PixelFed account you’d only see images.
