You’ve got Black and White working? I’ve smashed my head against that one before but never got it going.
The issue is that the copy protections check for a physical disk (with various methods) sometimes “Windows” ISO tools work better (CDEmu CloneDrive…) you would need to run them in the same wine prefix. But the easier way might be to find a nocd “patch” for your application ;)
Ich muss sagen, das ist schon echt doll. Wir haben so viele Probleme in Deutschland und Europa, und Asylpolitik ist das entscheidende Thema für die Mehrheit der Bevölkerung? Es ist ein Trauerspiel, wie sich CXU und Ampel thematisch von den Rechtsextremen treiben lassen. Anstatt echt Politik zu machen wird das Thema überall...
Well … I first got into contact with OpenSource due to Gratis: OpenOffice, Firefox etc. Combining my knowledge of OpenSource with my tendency to break stuff (Reinstalling Boston for the nth time) led me to Linux which I first tinkered with and soon fully adapted.
I had a short hopping phase where I went from Ubuntu (my starter) via Debian (accidentally tried stable) to Arch.
Stuck with arch on my personal machines now run Ubuntu for my work machine and Debian for Servers.
My favourite distro is the right tool for the job (see above) but I’m pretty happy with Arch
Two additional commands I regularly use as a Sysadmin are
systemctl status without any unit to list show the general system status (lists units that are running, units that are starting and failed units right at the top) And then systemctl list-units --failedTo show me just the failed units and did deeper what the problem is.
On a properly set up system I should quickly be able to ascertain if everything is “up and running” just by systemds status
MHH interesting. I honestly haven’t really given kde a fair shot since KDE4 maybe I need to force myself to use Plasma 6. Gnome has really gotten on my nerves lately. But I also know that on Plasma I will mostly recreate my gnome experience (Super key, hot corner …) since these are so ingrained in me from over a decade of using gnome.
I agree but recently the user themes extension broke notifications and I’ve already slimmed down my extensions to only the most necessary ones … So now I’m honestly thinking about trying Plasma properly.
The Podcasts app is just the latest product to go through a process I’ve come to call The Google Cycle.

Antennapod definitely is the GOAT. Been using it for years, it only got better. I hate the whole “podcast app” thing and like to just simply subscribe to RSS feeds and automatically download my podcasts and Antennapod does that for me. It’s so out of the way.
I find that I habitually open a terminal and run an update on every boot of my system (which gets rebooted once a day). I’m curious what other people do.
Well for my laptop which I use 3-5 days a week (for a few hours at a time) I do it only when I’m at home so it doesn’t get in the way when I need my machine. But I also reboot my laptop every use since with framework suspend just won’t work properly (I’ll look into it soon™).
My desktop I try to update every time I use it but with barely any time and my gaming now happening on my steam deck that’s less and less. Also with the archzfs module I gotta wait for the right timing between module and kernel versions so these days I often miss a few updates.
Antennapod does offer that by hooking into the gpodder.net API.ive had varying success with gpodder.net but hosting that yourself (I host it as an app on my Nextcloud) is a breeze
MHH 🤔 I see your point. However I would consider this could be an uncut penis which just stretches the foreskin back making it look almost cut when it’s erect (those definitely exist)
How does one change the terminal that Gnome Files uses when opening a directory in terminal using “Open in Terminal”? I’m trying to change the default to foot....
Interesting. I’ve just looked this up 2 days ago. It seems there is no longer an option in Gnome that it will respect (since 43) and as far as I can see the open in terminal is a Nautilus (gnome-Files) extension and there are other plugins that provide the functionality to change that.
“If Israel didn’t exist there would be no people fighting against the existence of Israel” … What the Fuck?
What kind of role reversal is that blaming October 7. on the “occupation” seriously? I’m not saying Israels government didn’t have a hand in creating adversity and Terrorism by suppressing the Palestinian people but to claim the horrific massacres were there fault is just plain evil.
To say all the hostages are European Settlers is just such a false view of the facts. A lot of these people weren’t settlers. And to assume they are “European” (by which I assume you mean White) is also wrong. There are Jews (and Arabs) that live (and have lived) in this region for centuries, also there is a huge population of Jews that are black or general POC.
The Martian was the first and to this date only book that I’ve read and, when I was finished, decided to re-read right away.
Love all Andy Weirs stuff. I’ve read the Martian four to five times now (lost count) I’ve also read Artemis twice and am currently re-reading Project Hail Mary.
Even when you know the ending the way there is still always fun another time.
Also I’ve re-read the Dirk Gently books since I just love Douglas Adams
I’ve seen the musical a bunch of times and when I finally managed to read it last year it was a revelation. While I still love the musical the book is so much more intriguing and interesting and just manages to much more perfectly capture the main theme.
As a Linux nerd and Privacy/Open source advocate it’s tough to admit. But I can’t use DuckDuckGo. I work as a Linux Sysadmin and Google is the only search engine reliably returning good results (especially on more obscure topics). With DuckDuckGo I’ve often noticed that it will simply “drop” words from you search terms (i.e. if you search “yellow computer chair” it might just show you any kind of yellow chair or something like that) which makes it unusable for precise searches.
My current setup consists of a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4gb RAM and a 1tb external SSD. I’m thinking of getting a used mini PC for around 100€ to replace that tho because it would give me a lot more power and especially RAM (I currently need to use an 8gb swap file). My plan so far is to get a used mini PC that’s quiet, has a...
Can’t quite speak for the n100 but I got a n305 one of these “China PCs” it’s passively cooled (which was important since it’s running in my bedroom) and seems to have amazing performance for what I need (I put jellyfin on there). I’m quite happy after futzing around with ARM SBCs and external drives this just works so well.
