Here we go again Google.. getting a policy violation for "Malicious or unwanted software" for me reporting on...an NVIDIA security driver bulletin 🤦🤦

And of course, there is absolutely no way to contest it.

Installed 12.04 on this ThinkPad a while back, then upgraded it to 14.04. I wonder if it can go all the way through 16.04, 18.04, 20.04, 22.04 and successfully end up on 24.04...

A screenshot of Ubuntu 14.04 desktop with a terminal running neofetch, a telegram window with the Linux Matters channel showing, and an update manager dialog telling me I should upgrade..

@popey one of the major reasons I stopped using Ubuntu was the upgrade process became very unreliable with... maybe 12.04?

Glad it work for you.

Heh I was hacking on APT solver too much so I didn't notice the ethernet connection from router to switch had degraded to 100 Mbit/s. It downgrades every couple months, not sure hwy.

@juliank not sure if you are in North America. LTT reviewed these (video) cables and found them to be best overall value.

Given the importance placed on CLI usage by many in the Linux community it's weird that a terminal isn't open by default on many Distros. Today I remembered that while on Antergos a few years ago I'd installed a terminal that you could call simply by pressing a hotkey.

Enter Yakuake ("Yah-quake")

Yakuake smoothly drops down from the top of your screen in response to the hotkey (the default is F12) and voila!: a ready to use terminal! Add it to Autostart and it'll run whenever you run a session of Linux, forever saving you having to load Konsole (or whatever) every time you want to use it.

And as I'm running KDE the fact it uses Konsole tech means it has that familiar look and feel, but shows Session tabbing by default foregrounding the ability to run separate terminal sessions and putting it within easy reach of GUI users and a mouse-click.

What Terminals do you folks run with?

#Linux #Terminal #Yakuake #KDE #Konsole #LinuxIsAwesome

@SirBoostALot @Uraael gnome terminal and konsole both have tabs. Why is iTerm2 so important?

"It appears that the upstream kernel endeavor on Rocky Linux may be gated to their commercial customers as opposed to making all the assets freely available and just gating their commercial support."

@sesivany outright copying the business model they criticized. I wonder if they will copy and paste our legal language on terminating support too.

sageofredondo,
@sageofredondo@mastodon.social avatar

@purpleidea @sesivany are you sure you are not confusing public with a requirement to distribute the source code under the GPL? Red Hat is complying with that.

What the clones were upset was is that we were providing debranded access to the source code for them for the main release of RHEL to easily repackage and we stopped. They criticized us for that, claiming we went closed source. They are now doing the exact same thing. Only providing source code to those that got binaries.

    A #Canonical employee reported some out-of-tree code broke after something internal was renamed recently in #Linux 5.15.y – and as expected was told this is no regression at all, as the #LinuxKernel does not have a binary kernel interface, nor does it have a stable kernel interface:

    https://lore.kernel.org/all/924449dc-9b1f-4943-afe3-a68c03aedbb5@canonical.com/

    Christoph Hellwig in a reply also wrote: "given that Canonical ignores our #kernel licensing rules and tries to get away with it I'm not going to offer any help to Canonical at all."

    sageofredondo,
    @sageofredondo@mastodon.social avatar

    @kernellogger Thorsten, you may want to reword this. Greg KH clearly wrote in the context of kernel drivers there is no stable API. That has always been true.

    The way I read as he was talking about userspace where there is a stable API.

    P.S. Oracle needs to relicense ZFS.

    @popey your experience sounds similar to me. Except with Red Hat health care I was able to see someone in two months and a prescriber in a month.

    As you get older, ADHD gets worse. I have dual Autism and ADHD inattentive.
    Atomoxetine is a non-stimulant. Lisdexamfetamine is a stimulant. Surprised they also did not suggest Adderall XR. I tried 3 stimulants; then tried Atomoxetine and it seems to work well for me so far. Still learning myself.

    Them: we're excited to offer the project a grant of $2,000 in USDC.

    (USDC? Quick Google. What's that?)

    Me:Sorry, I'm not interested in any crypto currencies. If you can't pay real money then I'm not interested.

    sageofredondo,

    @bagder they want you to use it and talk about it?

    Took a quick look. In theory you can exchange it without fees at coinbase, but it essentially is tokens that claims to be dollars so the people sending it would have to collect tax info from you.

    https://www.coinbase.com/usdc

    It is funny. How are they suppose to make money with no fees? Seems they skim part of the interest the dollars from the treasuries they hold?
