I have only watched the real Super Mario Movie (1993) and have never regretted that decision

@ErikUden watch the latest one, it's awesome. I watched it in 3D with my daughter. Love the music from it too, especially the one that Jack Black sings at the piano!

Why does plymouthd do this moments after boot starts?
It displays the mobo logo and the spinner for a second or two, then that screen disappears and does this. It stays like this for 5 seconds or so then puts me at sddm login screen just fine.

Having Wayland in Ubuntu VM (22.04) and wanting to slim it down a bit, if apt remove xorg, seeing as only use Wayland (and xwayland) would it still be breaking or should it work ok?

Asking for a friend.

The Name/Finger protocol is based on Request for Comments document RFC 742 (December 1977) as an interface to the name and finger programs that provide status reports on a particular computer system or a particular person at network sites. The finger program was written in 1971 by Les Earnest who created the program to solve the need of users who wanted information on other users of the network. Information on who is logged in was useful to check the availability of a person to meet.

This was probably the earliest form of presence information for remote network users.

Ever used it? In your CLI, try fingering me 0.o

It’s bloody 2024, think we can agree on either wget or curl being installed by default on every freaking operating system by now so shell scripts can have a guaranteed way of carrying out http requests?

I mean it’s been about 35 years. I think it’s about time.

@meatlotion@mas.erb.pw avatar

@aral why not just add both? I think they're different enough to both warrant being included imho.

Having used web (Gmail for personal, sometimes Outlook for work) email for many years, I forgot how good Thunderbird is. I recently switched back to using it, and it's just as good as I remember, if not better. Good job, @thunderbird team!

Has Thunderbird always had message threads or is that a new thing??

@meatlotion@mas.erb.pw avatar

@BrodieOnLinux it's had them for quite a while, not sure how long but I don't recall a time specifically that it didn't.

@BrodieOnLinux you said that Nvidia users with Wayland generally have hard times (I'm paraphrasing) unless they have newer cards, how new are you talking? I have a 2060 super, about 3+ years old iirc, I've never had Wayland issues with my Nvidia card, I've had screen capture problems (still have) but aside from trying to record the screen with OBS, my Wayland experience for everything I do is pretty much flawless imho.

It seems like it's about time for a new phone, the screen has begun to seperate from the body

@BrodieOnLinux how long have you had it so far and what is it you got now?

meatlotion,
@meatlotion@mas.erb.pw avatar

@BrodieOnLinux i still use my OnePlus 6T from 2019, it's even in as good condition as almost new. I put LineageOS on it of course, but I'm so happy with it, it'll be a hard pill to swallow when I have to get a new one.

Any nerds remember a pc dos game from around late 80s to early 90s with some story cut scenes of Winston Churchill and his battle of Britain speech?

I can't recall the game but wanna see if it's still around on an abandonware site somewhere. Maybe it's even called Battle of Britain.

Ideas?

@BrodieOnLinux how do you get OBS to work under ? It runs, but I can't capture any windows or screens... weirdness.

meatlotion,
@meatlotion@mas.erb.pw avatar

@BrodieOnLinux I do, looking at my installed packages I see xdg-desktop-portal-wlr is installed 👍

meatlotion,
@meatlotion@mas.erb.pw avatar

@BrodieOnLinux it appears to be running ok, I have;

/usr/libexec/xdg-document-portal
/usr/libexec/xdg-permission-store
/usr/libexec/xdg-desktop-portal
/usr/libexec/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome

I don't use gnome however, I guess that's just a normal thing to be running tho?

To eliminate distractions I'm on a CLI (command line interface) applications kick and it seems to be working out well. Right now I'm using Newsboat, toot tui, vim, alpine, links, todotxt-machine.

Anyone have any other suggestions? Not only does this approach reduce distractions, it also tickles my retro computing fancy.

meatlotion,
@meatlotion@mas.erb.pw avatar

@machias nice work! I spend almost all day in the CLI for that reason too.

Most of my day is spent in vim or the shell for work, for personal stuff, newsboat and links are good. Mutt for email occasionally but I tend to just use p=p on my phone to read email usually. mpv for videos, mpg123/mpg321 for mp3's, oh and qodem for connecting to all the nice BBSes I still use =)

Nextcloud Office not only provides real-time editing, but contains unique capabilities integrated into .

What do you enjoy most about Nextcloud Office’s unique capabilities?

meatlotion,
@meatlotion@mas.erb.pw avatar

@nextcloud I've never managed to get Nextcloud office to work, don't know why, but whenever I try and open an .odt or .docx for example, it just hangs forever. everything else seems to work for me ok, I mainly use nextcloud just to backup my photos, and sync my calendar and contacts.

At the in a talk given by the “Ubuntu Hideout” discord server. They have been working hard to keep the community friendly and supportive. They are genuinely lovely people who clearly want to build a well run community. 🥰

@popey surprised that they'd use discord for something like that. If it were matrix I'd be there.

@popey I think the clue is in the name though, the Ubuntu hideout discord server.

For over 15 years, I've been maintaining a near-comprehensive collection and overview of all the BBS Software that was ever released. New versions and items come in occasionally, and the addition of a few more recently made me remember it.

(F15SIM came by and fixed up the whole thing recently, too.)

If you're sitting on BBS software, or want to, visit it:

@textfiles There are still a lot of us that run BBSes in 2020's, check out the newer documentary "Back to the BBS - The return to being online" here; https://erb.pw/y/bttb (link to a youtube playlist)

@textfiles if you have heard/seen it then awesome, but I just never expected/assumed you to have.
