I've been told people on this website enjoy me trying to think through computer problems out loud while in incredible pain, so good news: I'm taking my new Thinkpad T14 (https://mastodon.social/@mcc/111218408629532857) out of the box and I'm going to install Linux on it first thing. So expect a LOT of complaining.

@mcc idk where this stands in >20.xx, but Ubuntu shipped its own customized version of the Dash to Dock addon for Gnome; if you're using the regular one or something similar you can just turn the other one off using the gnome shell extensions web UI, iirc https://extensions.gnome.org/

rakslice,
@rakslice@mastodon.social avatar

@mcc So, just testing 23.10 now.

Yeah I see what you're saying; what happens is Dash to Panel makes Ubuntu Dock hide initially, but if you relogin or change the settings, Ubuntu Dock reappears.

Looks like there's a native settings app Extensions now (apt package gnome-shell-extension-prefs) that replaces the old web-based settings stuff I linked.

You can just use it to turn off Ubuntu Dock; It seems like Dash to Panel incorporates all of the same functionality

@rakslice@mastodon.social avatar

@mcc for clarity, Ubuntu Dock is your left-side bar there, which is Ubuntu's bundled custom version of the Dash to Dock extension

rakslice,
@rakslice@mastodon.social avatar

@mcc the dash is the bar of favourite/running applications that, in stock gnome, only appears in the activities overview, the screen you get when you click activities or press windows/super. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Shell#Design_components In stock gnome there is nothing like a taskbar or dock on the normal screen. To read between the lines, Ubuntu want their stock system to look like their old Unity UI, which is why they ship a dock extension by default.

gods I hate it when an enormous tech company registers additional domains outside of their extremely well-known official website and then just randomly you're being asked to log in to "corporation online dot com" from an email as if they're trying to convince anyone who pays any attention at all that it's a phish

THIS MEANS YOU MICROSOFT

I somehow managed to accidentally delete /dev/null and it’s unbelievable how much stuff relies on writing data to nothing.

  • SSH just doesn’t start
  • same with tmux
  • bash completion doesn’t work and spams errors about _upvars
  • I can’t open GUI programs unless I launch them from a terminal that was opened when /dev/null was still there
  • Firefox prints assertion failures, then the error handler segfaults (!!)

So these boxes have an old atom, 4 1gig network interfaces, one PCI slot, 1 gig of ram probably expandable to 2? A couple of sata ports, one meant to be used with a disk on module. One came with a PCI card installed, I'm not completely sure but I think it's an T1/E1 card

The bios displaying the specs Intel Atom cpu d510 @ 1.66Ghz Speed: 1666mhz System memory Size 1019MB

The security situation on Linux is complicated, but the core issue imo is that the designed-in Unix security model is a fairly primitive thing designed for a simple standalone time sharing systems where users manually run command-line apps and that is all.

On occasion, I have to use NordVPN for work reasons. What I find is many websites refuse to talk to you if you're on a NordVPN IP. I can't get shoppersdrugmart.ca or walmart.ca to serve me a front page right now.

@mcc this sounds like a job for a socks proxy you set up in 10 seconds with an ssh one liner and point your browser at.

ssh -D {port} who@host

where {port} is the local tcp port to put the socks proxy on

LB: This is the thing with the sort of campaigning-against-Trudeau the Conservatives are doing, sure the government sucks, and Trudeau is quintessentially a kind of boring happy medium looks good in the uniform percentage-maximizing undistinguished leader pick, but to run against them on the basis of that you have to provide an alternative platform that is NOT TOTALLY PANTS WETTINGLY BATSHIT INSANE
