I love the idea of distrobox/toolbx!

but ive never understood why they by default share the home directory. They still overwrite each others config filesand leave a huge mess in the home dir. And last time i tried it wasn’t possible to really isolate things. Has thisimprovesd?

I’ve been a paying bitwarden customer for years but i through they were moving more towards free software and not away from it… Makes me consider quitting my subscription. Why do they do this?

Ah i see kde has fixed the issue where dropdowns had broken behavior when scrolling https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kirigami/-/commit/f6ca218607ff7e5d5066eb3224154c3256cb9516 this was my main blocker why i couldn’t use it when i tried it around 2020. Maybe i could give it another try?

Reimplements in C

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

change code so it no longer segfaults

still is UB, has arbitrary code execution vulnerability

everybody dies

What non standard thing are they doing with the power supply? The PSU looks like a regular usb c PD supply to me (even supports 12v, nice!)

Edit: wtf! 5v@5a yeah thats non standard. What were they thinking?

The system tray is the one thing i need to see that/if email/steam/chat is running and if there’s new messages. Otherwise gnome works great for me

There are portals: https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/desktop-integration.html#portals . they allow secure access to many features. Also any flatpak app still has access to a private app-specific filesystem, just not to the host.

Doesn’t work for all applications but for many sand boxing is possible without a loss of features.

Edit: the meme says “closed source” which is patently false for Mongo

No, MongoDB is closed source, proprietary software. You might be confusing open source with source available.

Edit: Actually I am wrong sorry. Closed source is not the opposite of open source. I didn’t read your comment exactly enough. MongoDB is not open source, it’s not free software, it is source available and thus not closed source. The things below are still true but don’t contradict what you said.

The SSPL is not a free software license and it is not an open source license. The OSI said so:

I get screen tearing when gaming on x11 so i use wayland and I only switch to x11 if i need to screenshare on discord.

yes these are the terms that are not supposed to be used in product naming or by consumers and are just intended for use by people developing USB devices.

Well you have to differentiate somehow and USB 5, 10, 20, 40 or 80 gbps sound like reasonable terms for normal people.

Yes it was never intended that any consumer hears about something like “USB 3.2 Gen 2” that was strictly internal naming for people developing USB devices.

In fact the naming guidelines we’re simplified even further than in the older version you linked: https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/USB-IF-language-usage-guideliens.pdf

But yea borderline fraudulent manufacturers and uninformed tech journalists are to blame for all this confusion

The v2 part here really just refers to the fact that it’s version 2 of the specification. Consumerrs only need to know the term USB4 and the speed that their device operates at. It’s sort of like complaining that the ietf has terrible naming schemes because HTTP is defined in half a dozen RFCs with 4 digit numbers. This versioning is just meant for people developing USB things.

Actually this article here is one of the few times where even mentioning the version 2 part is reasonable since the details of these specifications actually matter to kernel developerrs. For everybody else it’s just USB4 80 gbps.

Get a cross body sling, One of those travel digital nomad things. The brand ones aren’t cheap but it’s like somewhat fashionable. Maybe that could work?

Anytype looks interesting but it looks like most of it is non-free non-opensource software:

While our core solutions, the infrastructure protocol any-sync, and the data protocol any-block, are released as open source under the permissive MIT license, we distribute the remaining layers, including the middleware library any-heart, and applications like anytype-js, anytype-swift, and anytype-kotlin, under the Any Source Available License. This license grants individuals the freedom to review, modify, and utilize the code for personal, academic, scientific, research, and development purposes. However, for commercial use, consent from the Any Association is required.

Sorry to ask but why is get/set facl not sufficient for acls on linux?

Well if they are in the repos i assume it be less likely to have incompatibilites when updates happen?

It’s just sorta strange to be because everything from fedora, ubuntu to arch and even windows just works in virt-manager without any special settings and openSUSE just doesn’t even get to the installer.

The problem with openSUSE Tumbleweed I have is that so far I’ve never been able to install it. For all other Linux distros I can just get the ISO and use virt-manager to create a VM. But openSUSE never manages to boot. Any ideas why? I’d love to try it.

Edit: I’m trying it again now and i made it into the installer now

Edit2: installed it and am trying it out. Looks good on first glance but some packages that i’d really need to use it as a daily driver appear not to be present, like gnome-shell-extension-appindicator or gnome-shell-extension-caffeine

Maybe it’s a u.2 or u.3 nvme Enterprise drive?
