My work flow depends heavily on Win + V and Win + Shift + S, both on my main desktop and RDP'ed into other Windows systems while sharing a clipboard. I'm interested in trying Linux as my daily driver, and I am looking for suggestions that will offer the least friction in how I operate. The above items are must haves and my hope is that the solution "just works" without having to set up a whole mess of macros or workarounds.
I am familiar with Debian and Ubuntu, so Linux will not be a new experience for me, though most of my work has been from command line interactions. My hope would be a distro I can stand up in a few hours that will let me continue to RDP into Windows systems and keep using Windows hot keys on both the Linux desktop and the Windows systems.
It comes with the exact keybindings for what you are used to from Windows.
Except Kate/Kwrite defaults to Ctrl+R for replace, CTRL+H for find selected, and something else I don't remember. The shortcuts can be changed though.

Tire pyrolysis has evolved into a commercially significant waste-to-resource industry capable of converting end-of-life tires into fuel oil, recovered carbon black, steel, and combustible gas. Rising landfill restrictions and circular economy policies have further stimulated market interest. Yet many investors enter the sector with an incomplete understanding of project economics.
A tire pyrolysis project rarely fails because of technological impossibility alone. More often, financial underestimation and planning deficiencies create operational distress. Equipment price represents only one component within a much broader expenditure matrix.
A successful project therefore requires scrutiny of total lifecycle cost rather than reliance on simplified supplier quotations.
Understanding where hidden expenditure accumulates is essential for avoiding costly miscalculation.
Many first-time investors focus almost exclusively on reactor pricing.
While the reactor and auxiliary system form the technological nucleus of a tyre pyrolysis plant, project expenditure extends far beyond machinery procurement.
Major cost categories typically include:
A quotation covering only mechanical equipment may create a misleading impression of affordability.
Consequently, comparing projects solely by equipment price often leads to erroneous investment decisions.
Aggressive pricing occasionally conceals deficiencies in design or fabrication quality.
Lower-cost systems may suffer from:
These deficiencies frequently reappear later as maintenance expenditure and production interruption.
Initial savings may therefore evolve into long-term operational liabilities.
One of the more common budgeting errors involves inadequate attention to site development.
A tire pyrolysis facility generally requires substantial supporting infrastructure.
Typical civil works include:
Ground conditions may significantly affect expenditure. Weak soil, flood risk, or uneven terrain can increase engineering complexity and prolong construction schedules.
Infrastructure planning should therefore begin during feasibility assessment rather than after equipment procurement.
Neglecting this phase often results in cascading cost escalation.
Environmental compliance represents one of the most consequential cost of tyre pyrolysis plant.
Thermal conversion of tire material generates combustible gas and process emissions requiring treatment and monitoring.
Environmental systems may include:
In many jurisdictions, environmental permitting cannot be obtained without comprehensive pollution-control architecture.
Attempting to minimize these systems during procurement frequently produces regulatory delays or retrofit expense later.
Environmental investment should therefore be regarded as core infrastructure rather than ancillary equipment.
Regulatory approval itself can impose substantial financial burden.
Developers may encounter expenditure related to:
Permitting timelines may also affect financing and cash flow.
A project delayed by incomplete documentation or regulatory nonconformity can experience considerable opportunity cost.
Many investment models assume continuous access to inexpensive waste tires. In practice, feedstock procurement can become a decisive operational variable.
Tire supply depends on:
In certain regions, tire waste has transitioned from disposal burden to commercial commodity.
This evolution changes procurement economics substantially.
Failure to secure stable supply contracts may result in feedstock volatility and reduced plant utilization.
Since profitability depends heavily on throughput consistency, feedstock strategy should be established before construction begins.
Operational expenditure often receives insufficient attention during early planning.
A pyrolysis plant requires sustained energy and utility input despite partial energy recovery from non-condensable gas.
Operating cost categories commonly include:
Energy efficiency therefore exerts direct influence on long-term profitability.
Older or poorly designed systems may consume excessive fuel and generate unstable thermal conditions, diminishing economic performance.
Investors should evaluate not only theoretical production capacity but also utility intensity and operational reliability.
Financial projections frequently depend on optimistic assumptions regarding product pricing.
Typical tire pyrolysis outputs include:
However, market value varies significantly according to product quality and regional demand.
Recovered carbon black, for example, may require additional upgrading before entering higher-value industrial markets. Similarly, fuel oil pricing depends on local regulations and refining demand.
Overestimating product revenue can distort feasibility analysis and produce unrealistic payback expectations.
Conservative pricing assumptions generally create more resilient financial planning.
Equipment acquisition should not be evaluated solely through mechanical specification.
Technical support influences long-term performance in several ways:
Insufficient supplier support can prolong downtime and complicate commissioning.
A technically sophisticated system without reliable service infrastructure may become operationally burdensome.
Evaluating supplier capability therefore represents a risk-management exercise rather than merely a purchasing decision.
Tire pyrolysis projects possess substantial resource recovery and commercial potential, but profitability depends on disciplined investment planning.
Cost pitfalls rarely emerge from a single catastrophic mistake. More commonly, they accumulate through underestimated infrastructure, inadequate environmental budgeting, unstable feedstock assumptions, and unrealistic revenue expectations.
Projects that evaluate total expenditure, regulatory obligation, and operational sustainability from the outset are better positioned to avoid financial attrition and achieve durable industrial performance.

Goose and Common is a 17th- (or 18th-?) century poem protesting enclosure in England, which has been turned into a song by various people. There's no traditional tune to go with it, so everyone makes up their own (as far as I can tell!). Here's my version. I also thought it needed a chorus, so wrote some extra words too.
Recently some other people have started playing it, so I made a page on my website to track its progress through the folk process: helenbell.co.uk/goose-and-comm…
Lyrics:
The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common,
But leaves the greater villain loose
Who steals the common from the goose.
Chorus:
Who remembers when, who remembers how
The crimes committed then became the laws that bind us now?
The law demands that we atone
When we take things we do not own,
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who take things that are yours and mine.
The poor and wretched don't escape
If they conspire the law to break.
This must be so, but they endure
Those who conspire to make the law.
The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common,
But geese will still a common lack
Until they go and steal it back.

I run dnstools.ws which lets you perform DNS lookups, pings, traceroutes, etc. from 25 locations around the world. Each location is powered by a VPS running Debian, running a C# service that's compiled to native code ahead-of-time using Native AOT. It uses ~60MB RAM.
Six of the the locations are powered by tiny "NAT VPSes" (native IPv6 with shared NAT IPv4) that only cost a few dollars a year, sponsored by various server providers. These usually have 256 MB RAM and 4-5 GB disk space.
This is great with OpenVZ and LXC. Since they're containers that share the kernel with the host, kernel memory doesn't count towards the container's memory limit. I'm using ~75 MB RAM on those systems: ~60MB for the DNSTools worker and ~15MB for everything else (sshd, systemd, cron, rsyslogd, and unattended-upgrades). Plenty of room left.
I also have a few KVM systems with 256 MB RAM. These are what I'm struggling with.
Debian 13 (Trixie) increased the minimum hardware requirements from 256 MB to 512 MB RAM. It seems like this is a hard requirement - When running on a system using 256 MB RAM, the installer complains about having too little RAM, and OOMs during the installation. Even with a successful installation (e.g. upgrading from bookworm to trixie), it kernel panics on boot: "System is deadlocked on memory".
I could try debootstrap to bootstrap a basic system, or Clonezilla to clone a working disk image over the network, but I think I'd hit the memory deadlock too.
Does Debian have smaller kernel images for VM environments, that use less RAM? Or should I just give up on Debian for this use case?
Does anyone have a recommendation for another distro I should use? I've been considering trying Alpine. C# does support compiling to use musl instead of glibc, so that's not an issue. I'm also not tightly-coupled to systemd and can get rid of it.
I can mount a custom ISO on the systems, so booting from an ISO isn't an issue.
Thanks!
Edit: Alpine looks very promising - no issue installing it and running my app on a 256MB VM. This is probably what I'll end up using.
The 256MB RAM systems are from hosting.gullo.me/ and natvps.net/. It looks like the latter no longer sells the 256MB systems - their site shows 512MB as the minimum now.
For most use cases, I use GreenCloudVPS or HostHatch. The GreenCloud "Budget KVM Sale" VPSes have 2GB RAM, 20GB space, 10Gbps network, for $15/year.
I'm using the small 256MB systems because they're being provided for free for dnstools.ws in exchange for a link in the footer. Can't beat that price 😁

La articulación temporomandibular (ATM) es un mecanismo delicado. Cuando falla, duele la cara, la cabeza, el cuello. El sitio dolororofacial.com/tratamiento-atm explica algo que muchos pacientes descubren tarde: raramente un solo tratamiento es suficiente. Las férulas mal diseñadas pueden empeorar el problema. Las infiltraciones funcionan mejor con factores de crecimiento. La farmacogenética evita el ensayo-error con medicamentos.
El Instituto Craneomandibular, único centro multidisciplinario en España dedicado a la ATM, combina odontólogos, fisioterapeutas y neurólogos. No venden soluciones mágicas. Ofrecen un plan a medida, con estudios serios (resonancias, análisis de sangre) y tratamientos que van desde férulas 3D hasta cirugía como último recurso. Para quien lleva años con dolor facial, esta página es un mapa. No promete felicidad eterna, pero sí algo mejor: un camino realista para salir del laberinto. Porque la ATM, cuando se entiende bien, se trata bien. Y tratarla bien cambia vidas. No siempre con cirugía. Casi siempre con paciencia y ciencia. Eso es lo que hay detrás de este texto. Nada más. Pero nada menos.

cross-posted from: lemmy.zip/post/64949868
Per my last post, (which can be found here: lemmy.zip/post/53113975), I continued to mess around with a mobile broadband modem, and got it working! With a caveat... it only works when plugged into wall power. The battery I have does not supply enough power to fully enable the modem through USB power, due the raspberry pi being very power hungry. Unfortunately, this seemingly simple problem is actually a larger problem that seems to only be solved by an overly complicated solution: designing a custom battery controller PCB that responds to the pi5's (or ideally, a different processor entirely) needs more appropriately.Take a look at the state of the device here:
Last time I posted here, many interested folks responded with great ideas and feedback. Fortunately, one of the comments lead me to the project that would ultimately end this project in its current state. Link to that comment here: lemmy.zip/post/53113975/227795…
Its flaws are visible. While the device has personality, it lacks ease of use. These days I use it as a "cyberdeck"/field debugging computer, and I use it with a small controller-sized Riitek keyboard, because the screen's touch capability is on the fritz, likely because of the poor design choice to leave the screen's ribbon cable partially exposed.
This leads me to the conclusion: this project is falling into "hobby" or more accurately, unsupported status. I like the device for my personal use, and I may update the design in the future for my own purposes, and release it for free for public use, though I don't imagine there will be a huge amount of interest in building this device considering the skyrocketing cost of Pi devices nowadays. There is a more reasonable path forward, and I alluded to it earlier: custom PCBs. That's where the SPIRIT project comes in: github.com/SPIRIT-org/SPIRIT
You can see in one of the pictures above, the SPIRIT project is designing a phone that can be completely replicated at home. Well, once they get there it will be. I've exchanged brief communications with the individual running the project, Jan, and while he hasn't stated that these projects are linked in any way, I'd like to think that the SPIRIT project carries forward the values and goals of the project I started. If you were at all interested in my project, give the SPIRIT project github a like or favorite.

My first months on Lemmy were spent on Lemmy.world, which was the biggest instance at the time. I had no experience with Hexbear because .world had defederated that instance. I sometimes saw it being described as a "tankie" instance, but it was nothing specific.
After I moved to .zip, I came across !games@hexbear.net, which seemed to be free from anything overtly political and reminded me of r/Gamingcirclejerk, so I subscribed to it and occasionally made comments related to gaming.
Today I made multiple comments to a post about an article on the STALKER game developers having removed the Soviet symbols and the Russian audio in the remastered edition of the game. I would argue that in the thread, there were no comments from me that could be construed by a reasonable person as defensive of Nazism, fascism, or even hinting at it. For example, in one of the comments, I linked a Ukrainian law that prohibits the use of Nazi symbols, though I highly advise looking through all my ten comments as to avoid any misunderstanding or false impressions.

As always, my weekly summary/preamble is in spoilers below.
::: spoiler preamble
Military news remained relatively subdued last week, with the main front continuing to be the Lebanon border. With dozens of vehicles destroyed and many more Zionist casualties, they are now desperately searching for a solution to the FPV drone threat, with certain analysts characterizing the whole situation as the entity stumbling foot-first into a bear trap (hence the megathread title). Unfortunately for them, two better and more resourceful militaries have spent the last year or two also searching for a solution and have generally failed - with anti-drone strategies consisting mainly of 1) build your own cheap drones designed to physically intercept their cheap drones and 2) separate your forces up rather than conducting large frontal assaults WW2-style and accept that you're gonna have to fight for many months to gain substantial ground. This also explains why they're so eager to kickstart a civil war in Lebanon, although as I've stated before, I don't personally know whether that would be a silver bullet given how the Lebanese army has been deliberately not allowed to become a threatening force due to Zionist fears, and indeed, I don't know how many Lebanese citizens and soldiers would fight against the only force in their country fighting against an army trying to annex their territory and which murders hundreds of people at a time in aerial bombings on their cities.
Aside from the ever-worsening global economic catastrophe, the main event has been the US visiting China. Trump clearly intended to time the summit such that it took place after subjugating Iran and perhaps also Cuba. However, with the former goal not even remotely achieved, and the latter goal delayed - hopefully indefinitely, though the US still seems pretty intent on it - it all amounted to a big nothingburger. Marxist economist Michael Roberts has written up a great piece on the current state of the US-China economic conflict, stating among things that, despite the last decade of US sanctions and economic warfare, the Chinese economy has done extremely well, building up their own domestic industries to replace commodities lost from sanctions. China has, up to this point, refused to withdraw its aid from Iran, and seems to be looking to start moving its tankers through the Strait via Iran's new tolling mechanism.
China obviously continues to maintain its position on Taiwan, and Trump has continued the US tradition of respecting this in words and disrespecting it in actions, but it's becoming clear to everybody but the most delusional diehards that the US will not be fighting China in and around the Pacific for at least a couple decades, and likely never will. There is little choice. The Ramadan War has definitively proven that the US has been severely militarily and logistically weakened over the decades despite skyrocketing military budgets, and much of their equipment, strategies, and tactics are woefully outdated for the modern battlefield. The prospect of the US fighting a war against China and not immediately losing has gone from "almost implausible" to "hilariously absurd". Unable to meaningfully impede China, the US will have to content itself to increasingly ineffective sanctions campaigns and bullying/overthrowing nations that do not currently have much of a capacity to resist. In that vein, one hopes that Iran and friends will share their expertise in drone technology and underground fortification around the world. The age of the tunnel is upon us.

A note on fedposting / threats of violence
While I hope that I’m wrong, there is at least a very real possibility that in the immediate future, the US empire will launch an unprovoked and immoral attack on a socialist state (Venezuela) in order to secure that country’s resources. It is understandable that, should that happen, many of you will be feeling extreme anger at these acts and post about it here.In light of that, the admins and mods of Hexbear figured we’d remind everyone:
No fedposting
That includes, but is not limited to, talking about threats of violence against people or groups of people; including if you add “in minecraft” or “[redacted]”.
We really don’t need to come under fed scrutiny (or worse). Ultimately, fed posting doesn’t even serve much purpose other than “blowing off steam” – and that comes at the cost of potentially putting the site and its users in legal jeopardy. There are more productive ways to vent that anger.
Also, if you end up having a comment removed for fed posting, I’d urge you to not take it personally.
And saying this as a user, not an admin: a little revolutionary optimism never hurt anyone. We must have clear eyes about reality, but as socialists we also should have faith in the power of people to resist oppression.

The fascist Kiev regime carried out a massive drone attack on a college dormitory in Starobelsk, in the Lugansk People's Republic (which is in the Donbass). At least six people, including students, were massacred in the attack. 15 more people are missing under the rubble.

La bande dessinée de François Ruffin a créé la polémique, notamment pour le racisme systémique qu’elle contribue à entretenir et aussi du fait de la mise en avant démesurée de son auteur. Cette œuvre s'inscrit toutefois dans un long continuum de films, de livres et d'engagements politiques. Dans cet épisode de C'était pas mieux avant, Gwên retrace le parcours politique, artistique et journalistique de François Ruffin : de Fakir à sa candidature à l'élection présidentielle.

The German government last week published a new brochure on what it believes to be antisemitic codes and symbols.Over 80 pages, the brochure catalogues a list of concepts, terms and images ranging from Nazi-era propaganda to contemporary symbols against Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
Intended audiences for the brochure include teachers, "who can use the booklet as supplementary material in the classroom", and other educational staff, who can use it as a "guideline to help recognise any anti-Semitic remarks in the working environment".
Germany is one of the key supporters of Israel's genocide, despite its own history of committing genocide against Jews, Slavs and Roma during the Second World War, and in Namibia in the early 20th century.
Document comes days after government published dossier of 'secular Palestinian extremist' symbols, such as the watermelon and the Handala cartoonPauline Ertel (Middle East Eye)

GNOME can be transformed entirely thanks to extensions. The easiest way to get to these is to install the app called "Extension manager". If you don't want an app to do that, you can also just head over to extensions.gnome.org and look at them this way.
One of the most widely seen is dash to panel. It's perfect if you want to replicate a familiar windows-like, or KDE-like layout. It's also super customizable itself, with options like changing the position of the panel itself. It can also be combined with other extensions, like different menus, or the all important AppIndicator extension.
It does what it says: it just lets you add support back for these nasty looking icons in your top bar.
Don't like a bottom bar? Why not get a dock, always visible? Dash to dock does just that.
You'll get the "Activities" dock from GNOME, but always visible on the bottom, with running app indicators, launchers, separated from apps you haven't pinned, and even a trashcan, the plugged in storage devices, and the applications menu.
You can also switch to dark or light mode automatically,, thanks to Night Theme switcher. It will simply switch your desktop to dark mode depending on the time of day, or on a manual schedule.
If you're more into eye candy and a nostalgic of the COmpiz days, you also have the burn my windows extension.
It lets you pick various animations for opening or closing your applications, and even apply them to dialogs. Ranging from actually making your windows catch fire and disappear, to being shredded by claws. If you can't decide, you can pick multiple effects, and have them randomized, and each effect can be tweaked in terms of duration and scale.
What about these desktop icons? For that, why not use Deskop Icons NG? It basically rehabilitates your desktop as an icon and files folder, so you can finally hide that wonderful wallpaper with all sorts of crap you'll never sort through or remember is there.
For fans of eye candy, there's also a nice option, called blur my shell. It will add some nice blur on the background of the activities view, based on your wallpaper. Your search view, activities view, or apps list will definitely look snazzier with this one.
Of course, you might also want to change the look of your GNOME applications. All you need to do is install GNOME Tweaks, and then look for a theme you like. For that, GNOME Look is your friend.
Once you've downloaded a theme, all you have to do is extract it, and place the resultant folder inside one of 2 directories. Themes go into the .themes folder in your user directory, and icons in the .icons directory.
These are hidden folders, and you might need to create them. Don't forget the "." at the beginning of the name. Showing or hiding hidden folders in Nautilus can be done with the press of COntrol + H.
Once your themes are placed there, open GNOME Tweaks, hit the appearance tab, and choose the theme you want!
Cursors work in the same way, and can be placed in the .icons folder as well.
When you set out to transform a bathroom, one design question rises above the rest. Where do you weave in genuine character? Standard tiles serve their purpose. They clean up with minimal effort. Yet they often produce spaces feeling impersonal and flat. Homeowners consistently reach for something more. A vibrant color statement. A textured surface that catches the light. Mosaic tiles emerge as the go-to solution.
However, measured application remains essential. Excessive patterning compresses a room visually. It introduces unwelcome visual static. The remedy involves confining the mosaic to a deliberately bounded zone. Subsequently, framing execution becomes critical. A feature lacking perimeter definition appears accidental. It suggests incomplete installation or material shortage. Proper framing establishes structural clarity. It choreographs visual attention with precision.
The following methodology delineates correct framing protocols for mosaic features. These principles apply comprehensively, whether addressing shower recesses or vanity wall treatments.
Initially, identify the most advantageous placement. Within any mosaic tiles bathroom composition, restraint consistently produces superior outcomes. One compelling feature surpasses multiple diluted attempts.
The shower recess endures as the preferred selection. It benefits from natural shielding against direct spray impact. Its elevation at standard viewing height proves ideal. These characteristics render it exceptionally suited for elaborate tile compositions. Another viable candidate is the wall surface immediately behind the vanity. This functions comparably to a culinary splashback. It naturally channels focus toward the basin and mirror assembly.
Exercise caution when considering mosaics for the principal shower floor unless drainage slope requirements mandate such application. The resulting grout multiplication creates substantial maintenance obligations. Preserve floor simplicity. Maintain unadorned primary wall surfaces. Allow your feature to command exclusive attention. This equilibrium sustains an impression of spaciousness and serenity.
A definitive perimeter must demarcate the mosaic from adjacent field tile. Simply terminating the mosaic and resuming with larger format tile proves inadequate. The exposed boundary appears crude and unfinished. The underlying mesh substrate risks visibility. A refined edge treatment becomes mandatory.
Three established techniques address this requirement effectively.
This approach represents contemporary industry standard. Aluminum or stainless steel extrusions accommodate diverse cross-sectional configurations. They safeguard the mosaic's susceptible perimeter. They generate precise, rectilinear boundaries. Metallic edging withstands mechanical impact. It resists chipping and fracture. It integrates seamlessly with modern design vocabularies.
This method maintains classical associations. These slender, curved tiles coordinate with your principal wall covering. They produce a gentler, more gradual visual transition. They complement traditional or heritage-inspired bathrooms appropriately. The compromise involves the curved geometry, which tends to accumulate deposits over time.
Your existing large-format tile can itself constitute the framing element. Carefully sectioned pieces surround the mosaic sheet, forming a tailored boundary. This achieves a unified, integrated visual statement. Grout joints can align through meticulous advance coordination. This technique demands elevated cutting precision and expertise.
Harmonize your selection with established hardware finishes. Brushed nickel fixtures pair naturally with corresponding metallic edging. Such coherence signals deliberate, considered design intention.
Evaluate how the frame should visually engage with the mosaic itself. Two strategic orientations present themselves: harmonization or opposition.
Harmonization signifies the frame reproducing the mosaic's chromatic identity. The feature dissolves subtly into its surroundings. It merges with the wall plane. This benefits compact bathrooms where visual fragmentation proves undesirable.
Opposition signifies the frame asserting independent visual presence. A dark perimeter surrounding a light mosaic evokes a picture frame. The eye travels there instantaneously. This succeeds when the mosaic itself remains understated. Conversely, if the mosaic already exhibits complex patterning, maintain frame neutrality. An already busy mosaic combined with an assertive frame descends into visual chaos.
Grout selection profoundly influences this dynamic. High-contrast grout amplifies the mosaic's pattern intensity. Grout closely matched to tile color renders the mosaic more monolithic. Finalize grout strategy before committing to frame specifications.
This phase separates exemplary executions from disappointing outcomes. Mosaic tiles frequently measure thinner than conventional wall tiles. A glass mosaic might register 4mm in thickness. A standard ceramic wall tile could reach 8mm.
Installation without thickness compensation produces a pronounced lip. The larger tile projects outward noticeably. This generates undesirable shadow lines. More critically, it forms a ridge where residue accumulates relentlessly.
Your installer must elevate the underlying substrate beneath the mosaic. Supplementary mortar bed or leveling compound achieves necessary elevation. The objective: a perfectly flush finished surface. When you glide your palm across the transition, no step should register.
This demands genuine craftsmanship. Interrogate your contractor specifically regarding thickness management protocols. If their solution involves merely increasing adhesive quantity, proceed cautiously. Excessive adhesive thickness risks sagging and unevenness. Methodical substrate preparation remains non-negotiable.
Grout configurations should communicate deliberate intentionality. When field tile features vertical grout runs, attempt to align the mosaic perimeter with these established rhythms. This cultivates visual order and coherence.
For recess installations, side-wall grout should ideally extend the exterior wall pattern. This proves technically demanding. Mosaics arrive pre-mounted on sheets. Individual tesserae resist repositioning. The installer must section the sheet to conform to existing geometry.
Never force alignment when dimensions prove incompatible. A robust, well-defined frame outweighs mismatched joints. Metallic trim excels here by concealing discrepancies. It interrupts visual continuity between dissimilar tile types. This liberates you from obsessive grout alignment concerns.
A feature cannot fulfill its purpose without adequate illumination. A magnificent mosaic languishing in shadow remains essentially invisible. Within shower recesses, consider integrating waterproof LED ribbon lighting. This reveals dimensional tile texture. It causes glass or mineral elements to radiate luminously.
For vanity wall applications, verify that wall sconces or overhead fixtures directly illuminate the feature. Shadows obliterate fine detail. Uniform, consistent lighting becomes paramount. This belongs in preliminary planning stages. Electrical infrastructure must precede tile installation.
General ambient illumination proves insufficient. A dedicated light source transforms the installation dramatically. It elevates tilework to artistic status. This consideration becomes especially critical in bathrooms lacking natural fenestration.
A feature attracts admiration. Consequently, it demands consistent maintenance attention. Yet mosaics multiply grout surface area substantially. Grout absorbs stains far more readily than glazed tile surfaces.
Shower installations accumulate soap film and mineral deposits. Vanity applications collect toothpaste spatters and cosmetic residue. Establish regular cleaning protocols. Soft-bristled implements access grout lines most effectively.
Avoid aggressive acidic formulations. These compromise grout integrity and can etch certain mineral mosaics. pH-neutral products offer safer, more sustainable performance. Epoxy grout simplifies ongoing maintenance considerably. Its stain resistance exceeds conventional cementitious alternatives. The initial investment runs higher. For a compact feature area, this premium delivers worthwhile long-term returns.
Never source mosaic and framing tile from separate vendors. Chromatic consistency between manufacturers remains problematic. One supplier's white rarely corresponds to another's equivalent designation.
Consolidate purchases through a single supplier. This safeguards tonal harmony. It also ensures production batch uniformity. All materials should originate from identical manufacturing runs.
When visiting showrooms, inquire specifically about mosaic tiles bathroom collections. Many retailers offer coordinated trim and field tile packages. This eliminates compatibility uncertainty. Transport your primary tile sample for direct comparison. Evaluate the mosaic alongside it. Verify thickness compatibility. Assess color accuracy beneath natural daylight conditions.
Framing a mosaic feature revolves around meticulous attention to transitional details. Edge refinement matters. Surface flushness matters. Illumination quality matters.
Success in these elements adds tangible value. The bathroom communicates intentional, professional design. Failure renders the installation an obvious improvisation.
Dedicate adequate time to perimeter planning. Engage your installer in detailed leveling discussions. Select appropriate illumination. Maintain surrounding surfaces in quiet restraint. Allow the feature to perform unchallenged. A properly framed mosaic constitutes a lasting enhancement. It transcends ephemeral trends. It endures daily wear. And it bestows distinctive identity upon your bathroom without overwhelming the overall spatial experience.

01:37 The decline of Firefox
05:20 Why that's a problem
08:13 Why is Firefox important?
11:43 How can we solve this?
13:23 Sponsor: Get your Linux laptop or desktop with Slimbook

There is no denying that Firefox has been progressively losing ground in the web browser race. It's highest peak was at the end of 2009, at almost 32% market share, when Internet Explorer has about 55%, and Chrome was barely edging out the 5% market share.
Fast forward to 11 years later, and Chrome now has 62.7% of the market, where Firefox only has 4.2%. How did that happen? Why did the browser that basically started the work to take IE down, that introduced tabs to the masses, and that made sure web standards were respected, why did THAT browser fall so low?
First, Mozilla completely missed the mobile market. There's also the fact that Google pushed CHROME very aggressively. Firefox also kinda rested on their laurels for a while, while Chrome worked tirelessly on their engine.
Now you might think: that's a free market. People use what's best, and if Firefox gets better, people will flock back. And while that's a possibility, as it stands, it still creates an issue.
The web relies on being open and on evolution. These evolutions, to be beneficial to everyone, need to be decided collectively, by independent organisms, supported by all browsers, and implemented freely.
What I mean is that the browser engine shouldn't control how the web runs, looks, or what it can do. The browser engine is just there to ensure that websites and webapps just run like they should.
The rise of Chrome and chromium based browsers, just like any other monopoly, turns that on its head. Developers, you see, can only implement features, if they know that their users will be able to make use of them. If everyone uses the same engine, and that engine decides to NOT implement a feature, then it's just not going to be used at all, because why make something that no user will ever be able to take advantage of?
This is a problem. Not right now, but it might become one in the future. See, Chromium is open source, as is Blink, the rendering engine used in Chromium and every browser using it. It's open source, but decisions are made by Google. In 2019, 92% of commits to the code base were made by Google employees. So let's not kid ourselves: Google has total control over what goes in and what they don't want to see in Chromium.
You might say, someone would fork chromium or Blink and start their own browser, and that would solve it. Except no one would move to that browser.
What's important isn't Firefox specifically, it's having rendering engine diversity. Having 2 or 3 engines that have almost equal market share is crucial to avoid that situation, because in that case, the one that doesn't implement a new technology doesn't hold back the whole web.
So how can we solve this? How can we make sure that Chromium doesn't start deciding how the web should run? Well, as users, apart from not using chromium based browsers, and supporting other engines financially, there isn't much we can do.
The other option would be to try and take governance of Chromium away from Google, but I don't see that happening any time soon.

What is starting to worry people is the direction flathub is going in: they want to add payments, donations, and subscriptions so users can adequately compensate developers for their work.
This creates multiples issues: one is the user accounts, the other is the power it might give flathub, and the third is the commercial / corporate aspect of it. Let's look at all of that.
To handle payments, Flathub needs to implement user accounts. At the very least, they need to have accounts for developers, so they can publish their applications in their own name, and collect the money they make from these sales or donations. User accounts are also in the cards, to handle user payments
And some people seem to fear that these accounts would be an issue. Because you're centralizing data about Linux users in a single place.
And I can understand the issue here, but these accounts don't have to have personal information. If payment is handled by a third party solution, as it's planned with Stripe, then that account could basically just be a login and a password, and that's it. You don't have to use a real name, you don't have to use your everyday email address if you don't want to, and all the personal info used for payments would be stored by the third party.
The more worrying aspect would be the power Flathub could gain. If Flathub's payment solution works well, and developers start actually making decent money from it, then it means they'll be more motivated to use flathub as a platform to distribute their applications.
This could lead to software being centralized on Linux, with developers ignoring other packaging formats, and other repos, and Flathub becoming THE only app store on Linux.
First, let's not forget that applications on Flathub are 99% free and open source software. Even if the developer decides to only use flathub from now on, you still have the source code available.
Second, Flathub is open source. All the code for that platform is open, and they don't seem to plan to change that either. Which means that anyone who wants to set up a competitor remote.
Centralization is a problem when it also creates lockdown. Here, escaping a potential flathub centralization would be a no brainer, and super easy.
Now, of course, Flathub will have to create some form of legal entity to handle payments, money, and user / developer data if collecting that is required somehow. And if you've been hanging out in the Linux or open source community for a while, you probably know that companies and money are EVIL.
Jokes aside, what's to stop Flathub from creating a corporation, and then change licenses on their work once developers are hooked, and start charging high margins on what users pay, and basically get fat off the backs of Linux users and open source developers?
Well, first, that would mean you basically have 0 trust in GNOME, or KDE, because the governance of Flathub is being set up by people from GNOME and KDE, and some flathub people.
Second, if Flathub ever turned into some kind of Apple or Microsoft clone, do you really think they'd still get the funding they need to run?

A lot of people assume that open source, or free software is free of charge, but while that's generally the case, it's not an obligation.
This ends up with a paradox: user facing software that has a GUI and is used by regular users tends to have easier access to funding than server-side libraries that are used by giant companies that make billions each year, because basic users will part more easily with their cash, one dollar at a time, than a company that doesn't really know what they use to make their own stuff work.
And this brings us to the second major point of the video: the modern web is heavily dependent on free and open source software.
hostingtribunal.com/blog/linux…
Linux isn't the only open source project underpinning the web. For a long while, the default stack for a server was LAMP: Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. All open source projects. It's less true nowadays, with tons of new technologies being used to replace these various components, but most of these new technologies are open source.
With the rise of NPM, the Node Package Manager, it's easier than ever to access hundreds of thousands of libraries for your projects, most of them open source.
Recent issues have showcased all of that. Let's begin with log4j.
It's one of the most popular logging libraries used online. It gives software developers a way to build a record of activity to be used for anything from troubleshooting to auditing, data tracking, whatever else.
Companies such as Apple, IBM, Oracle, Cisco, Google and Amazon, all run Log4j. Except THIS library had a huge vulnerability that affected almost the entire web a few months ago.
Another recent issue with a very different outcome was with the very, very popular libraries colors, and faker.
“Colors" enables users to “get color and style in their node.js console.” It is downloaded over 23 million times per week and has nearly 19,000 projects that depend on it. “Faker,” creates fake, realistic data for testing purposes, and it's downloaded over 2.4 million times per week and has over 2,500 projects depending on it.
Except their developer got fed up of having super successful projects that didn't turn in any money, and were used by fortune 500 companies, so one day, he decided to push an update that borked the output of both libraries.
First it would have been easier to spot the issue in log4j had companies that used that library implemented a code review process for open source code they want to use, and maybe contribute to improving said code.
Second, if companies decided that they wanted to make their own work depend on smaller open source projects, a monetary contribution doesn't seem so crazy.
The current model of web giants basing their own offerings on the shoulders of unpaid volunteers, and expecting all of that to work flawlessly without ever contributing to it, with code, or money, isn't really sustainable. As a project is used by bigger companies, it becomes a target for malicious hackers, and making sure that this code is secure can become a full time job that no one can expect an unpaid volunteer to do.

01:33 Linux OFFERS choice
03:15 Developers have choices too
05:42 Choice is a byproduct, not a core value
07:57 The cost of choices
09:39 Parting Thoughts
10:41 Sponsor: 150€ off your Slmbook Executive Ultrabook
11:07 Support the channel
Linux desktops have traditionally offered a lot of choice. On the one hand, it means that virtually anyone can end up with the exact system they love, that works exactly how they want it, down to the smallest detail.
On the other hand, it also means that beginners don't know where to start when trying to move to Linux.
Finally, that huge amount of choice also means that maintaining our desktops is an increasingly complex task: as you add features and options for everything, your number of test cases increases, and the possibility of breakage and bugs skyrockets.
Which leads us to developer choice.
Let's get this out of the way: developers can do whatever they want. They're the ones creating the software we use. Whether they work on an application, on a desktop environment, on a small subsystem, or on the Linux kernel, they're the ones that make our experience with Linux possible.
Which also gives them a lot more power over all of this than us, regular users.
In any case, the time they spent is allocated however they please. If they don't want to fix a specific bug, or implement a feature they don't like, they don't HAVE to. They don't owe us, the users, anything.
Developers also have choices: the choice to work on a new option, that has to work with every other option there is, and that will have to be maintained with each refactoring of the code, each update, each library change. They have the choice to support themes or not. To support dark mode or not, to fix a very annoying bug, or not.
Linux desktops offer tons of choices. But these choices are byproducts of the free and open source nature of our programs, kernels, and apps. They're not an inherent part of the Linux experience.
We have choices because everyone can contribute some code, fork a project, create their own version of an application, or a desktop environment, and with each new project or fork, the number of possible combinations increase.
We don't have all these choices because there is an ethical obligation for them to exist., or because Linux mandates that people have every choice available to them. Nowhere has it ever been written, or agreed, that if a developer makes something based on Linux, they HAVE to implement each option that everyone wants, or thinks they need.
Projects that refuse to implement certain features are not "going against the Linux philosophy". They're not "ignoring their users", they don't "disrespect Linux" or whatever else. They just make choices, as developers, as UX designers, as project leaders. They make the choices they want, to reach the goal they have.
When a developer team decides to add a preference or a feature, it's not just a "set it and forget it" act. As everyone who has ever worked on software will tell you, each preference has a cost.
Adding more preferences make testing and QA more complicated. Each option multiplies the number of cases you have to test for. Certain option combos can result in bugs, and each time you fix something on another preference, or change how something behaves, that's one more potential point of failure.
For individuals seeking to address visible signs of ageing without surgery, non-invasive skin lifting technologies offer a practical solution. These treatments use targeted energy to stimulate the body’s natural repair processes, resulting in gradual improvements in firmness and contour. One such advancement is Ultherapy PRIME, the latest generation of ultrasound-based skin lifting. This guide explains how the procedure works, what results to expect, and why it has become a popular choice for those considering a sagging skin treatment in Singapore.
Ultherapy PRIME is designed for people with mild to moderate skin laxity who wish to avoid the risks and recovery time associated with surgical facelifts. By delivering focused ultrasound energy to precise depths beneath the skin, it triggers collagen and elastin production. Over several months, this natural regenerative process lifts and tightens the skin on the brow, neck, chin, and décolletage. The treatment is non-invasive, requires little to no downtime, and is suitable for most skin tones.
Ultherapy PRIME is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to lift the skin on the neck, under the chin, and on the brow. Unlike legacy versions, this updated treatment is faster and more efficient, with session times ranging from 30 to 90 minutes. It targets the deeper layers of the skin and the underlying superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) – the same tissue layer addressed during a surgical facelift.
Beyond lifting, Ultherapy PRIME also improves skin tone and texture. Stimulating collagen production, it helps smooth uneven texture, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and contributes to a more radiant complexion. The energy is delivered through a handheld device that allows practitioners to see the tissue layers on a screen, ensuring precise and safe treatment. Because there are no incisions, patients can typically return to their normal activities immediately after the session.
The procedure involves applying a handheld transducer to the skin, which delivers focused ultrasound energy to specific depths beneath the surface. This energy heats the targeted tissues to a controlled temperature, creating a thermal injury that triggers the body’s natural healing response. In response, fibroblasts produce fresh collagen and elastin – the proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity.
Results are not immediate. The initial effect is a subtle contraction of existing collagen fibres, but the true lifting occurs gradually as new collagen forms over the following months. Most patients notice visible improvements within two to three months, with optimal results appearing around the six-month mark. This gradual change produces a natural-looking enhancement, avoiding the sudden or "overdone" appearance that can sometimes follow more invasive procedures.
Ultherapy PRIME offers several advantages for those seeking a non-surgical sagging skin treatment. It is non-invasive, requiring no incisions or stitches. There is minimal downtime, so patients can resume work or social activities on the same day. The results are long-lasting, typically holding for 12 to 18 months, and maintenance sessions can extend this further.
The treatment is effective for lifting and tightening various areas of the face and body. Common treatment zones include the brow (to lift drooping eyelids), the jawline (to reduce jowls), the neck and submental area (to address a double chin or turkey neck), and the décolletage (to smooth chest wrinkles). It also improves overall skin texture and firmness, minimising fine lines around the eyes, forehead, and mouth.
After a single session of Ultherapy PRIME, you may notice some immediate tightening due to collagen contraction. However, the most significant lifting and toning will develop over three to six months as new collagen builds. The results are subtle and natural-looking – friends and colleagues may comment that you look more rested or refreshed without being able to pinpoint why.
The duration of results depends on individual factors such as age, skin condition, and lifestyle habits. On average, the effects last between 12 and 18 months. For patients who wish to maintain their outcome, an annual touch-up session is often recommended. Because the procedure stimulates your body’s own regenerative capacity, the improvements integrate seamlessly with your natural facial expressions and contours.
Most patients achieve noticeable results with just one treatment session of Ultherapy PRIME. However, the exact number of sessions can vary based on the degree of skin laxity, the areas being treated, and your personal aesthetic goals. Some individuals with more significant sagging may benefit from an additional session after several months, while others opt for a yearly maintenance treatment to prolong the effects.
During your consultation, a qualified doctor will assess your skin and create a personalised treatment plan. They will explain the recommended number of sessions and the expected timeline for results. This tailored approach ensures that you receive the appropriate level of energy for your specific concerns, whether you are addressing early signs of ageing or more established laxity.
1. What is the difference between Ultherapy and Ultherapy PRIME?
Ultherapy PRIME is the latest generation of the technology. It is approximately 20% faster than legacy Ultherapy, uses a smaller transducer for more precise targeting of delicate areas, and offers enhanced customisation with improved patient comfort.
2. Is Ultherapy PRIME painful?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort during the procedure, often described as a warm or tingling sensation. Topical numbing cream can be applied to improve comfort. The sensation is brief and stops as soon as the energy delivery ceases.
3. Who is a good candidate for Ultherapy PRIME?
Good candidates are individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who want a non-surgical option for lifting the brow, neck, or chin. The treatment is safe for most skin types and tones. A consultation with a doctor will confirm your suitability.
4. Are there any risks or side effects?
Ultherapy PRIME is generally safe with minimal risks. Possible side effects include temporary redness, mild swelling, or slight tenderness in the treated area. Serious complications are rare when the procedure is performed by an experienced medical professional.
5. How long do the results last?
Results typically last between 12 and 18 months, depending on your age, skin condition, and lifestyle. Maintenance sessions can help extend the benefits. The gradual collagen-building process means improvements look natural and develop over time.

Construction zones operate as controlled chaos. Steel booms sweep through their arcs. Hydraulic buckets tear into compacted earth. Heavy haulers navigate congested corridors. Workers divide their attention between the terrain underfoot and the loads tracking overhead.
Yet the most dangerous variables often remain unseen, locked within the mechanical systems powering every operation.
When a structural fastener fails without warning or a pressure boundary ruptures, the cost transcends repair schedules. Gravity claims its due without discrimination. Every suspended load represents a potential tragedy awaiting a single component failure. Uncertainty becomes unacceptable. Machine integrity transforms from a maintenance metric into a non-negotiable safety covenant.
Those responsible for Kobelco fleet maintenance must look past procurement invoices. The essential inquiry centers on whether a replacement element will deliver engineered performance when loads maximize and safety margins compress. Seasoned professionals recognize this distinction implicitly. When you invest in Kobelco crane parts, you aren't conducting routine commerce. You're purchasing assurance that the equipment will perform when performance means the difference between life and death.
I've observed machines functioning adequately on non-specified components—for extended periods. Then the facade crumbles without prelude. The root cause traces to design fidelity. Original equipment specifications govern how parts interface under extreme loading. Any deviation from these specifications rewrites the risk equation in dangerous ways.
Every manufactured component operates within defined tolerance envelopes. Consider hydraulic seals: two units may share identical external dimensions while harboring fundamentally different material DNA. One polymer blend endures the thermal assault of continuous friction. Another surrenders to identical thermal profiles with alarming speed.
Installing that inferior seal into a high-pressure circuit seeds catastrophic failure into an otherwise healthy system.
Thermal oscillation is inescapable in working hydraulics. Genuine formulations accommodate dimensional breathing with structural grace. Budget alternatives typically fracture at thresholds well below their claims. Crack formation opens escape routes for pressurized fluid. System pressure collapses. Response times lag. An operator facing production deadlines may push the system harder. That push frequently marks the final moment before disaster.
Metal characteristics carry parallel significance. Structural bolts maintain clamping force under dynamic vibration. Minute tensile strength variations accelerate vibrational fatigue. Fatigued fasteners yield to pin displacement. Pin displacement enables load migration. Load migration triggers geometric instability. The entire destructive sequence germinates from a single purchasing compromise.
Certain crane functions operate at the razor's edge of safety. Ironically, these precision-critical systems attract the most substitution pressure when financial controllers scrutinize every expenditure.
Advanced cranes deploy electronic sensing arrays measuring boom attitude, working radius, and payload mass. Substandard sensor fabrication corrupts the data pipeline. The operator interprets reassuring figures while actual conditions diverge toward structural limits. Genuine transducers synchronize precisely with OEM software. Bogus units inject dangerous latency or fabricated readings.
Rope and sheave assemblies experience continuous tensile punishment. Replacement cable must mirror original diameter and strength grade exactly. Dimensional mismatch invites drum groove escape. Sheave rotation must remain frictionless under working loads. Profile incompatibilities abrade armor wires. Progressive fiber destruction accumulates until strand separation. Under tension, parting strands become ballistic hazards.
Braking systems arrest rotational momentum. Uneven friction material wear extends stopping distances. Emergency intervention capability degrades proportionally. Genuine brake pads incorporate friction coefficients validated through exhaustive manufacturer testing. Generic alternatives may skid unpredictably or seize violently—either behavior compromising load stability.
Outrigger pads and beams channel structural loads to foundation soils. Beam deflection beneath rated capacity initiates overturning. The steel alloys specified in Kobelco crane parts receive proprietary heat treatment. Unprocessed materials lack this metallurgical enhancement. They yield rather than resist. On irregular terrain, this characteristic proves lethal.
Procurement math usually halts at purchase price comparison. A $500 OEM item against a $200 clone feels economically obvious. This analysis is willfully blind to downstream devastation.
Idle time generates exponential losses. When a power unit fails, the entire operation flatlines. Subcontractors bill standby hours. Customer relationships fracture. Market standing erodes. Yet financial impacts pale beside human consequences.
Post-incident investigations reconstruct failure genealogy. Analysts trace causal chains to component quality. Non-compliant installations expose ownership to liability and insurance recalibration.
Carriers examine maintenance records with forensic intensity. Discovery of unapproved parts after accidents can void coverage entirely. Policies assume manufacturer compliance. Violation nullifies this assumption. Sourcing Kobelco crane parts preserves this protective framework.
Annual inspections verify equipment conformance. OSHA enforces standards without negotiation. Failures generate fines and mandatory shutdowns. Revenue ceases during remediation. Genuine components ship with specification certificates. This documentation streamlines inspections and prevents interruptions.
Counterfeit sophistication advances disturbingly. Packaging replicates faithfully. Typography appears legitimate. Serial numbers populate labels—though potentially recycled. Buyers need systematic verification.
Provenance verification anchors defense. Use only authorized distributors with direct manufacturer relationships. Gray-market operators may disguise used inventory as new. Worse, they may distribute counterfeit production from unregulated shops.
Anti-counterfeiting technologies enable rapid screening. Manufacturers deploy holographic seals and tamper-evident features. These expose imitations immediately. Examine casting marks on metal parts. Brand identifiers should appear crisp. Ragged edges indicate unauthorized finishing.
Database checks provide confirmation. Batch tracking enables serial verification. Unrecognized numbers signal counterfeit origin. Part number diligence remains essential. Subtle differences often mask application incompatibilities.
Pricing signals require interpretation. Offers dramatically below market demand skepticism. Authentic logistics costs frequently explain apparent savings. Quality engineering warrants appropriate investment.
Safety culture transcends policy manuals. Personnel need authorization to reject questionable materials. Technical staff should feel protected challenging component legitimacy.
Inspection rituals precede every installation. Compare new and retired parts directly. Mass differences reveal material substitutions. Surface variations prove visually apparent. Correct fits achieve seating without force. Excessive insertion force indicates dimensional errors.
Documentation builds institutional memory. Record vendor identities and batch numbers. Future investigation achieves precise traceability. This transparency strengthens accountability.
Training targets authentic material failure modes. Thermal overload produces characteristic discoloration. Premature corrosion indicates plating inadequacy. Genuine coatings demonstrate superior oxidation resistance. Degraded surfaces suggest improper storage or inferior substrates.
Experience teaches where economizing destroys value. Heavy machinery offers no mercy. Defective welds, compromised seals, or migrated fasteners remain indifferent to budget pressures.
Specifying Kobelco crane parts ensures operational parameters stay within design envelopes. This alignment preserves safety margins. It protects every person in the operational radius.
Weather defies control. Site traffic resists management. Equipment condition, however, remains entirely subject to human decision. Choose paths minimizing risk. Commit to verified quality. Monitor suppliers continuously. Develop workforce capability in anomaly detection.
Safety lives in parts cage selections and purchase orders. Never gamble lives on durability speculation. Remain faithful to proven performance.

In what is being called the “third era of computing,” cognitive computing is revolutionizing the relationship between humans and computers. Internet of Things is only the beginning. Artificial Intelligence is finally sprouting out of science fiction, and blossoming into fully-functional, modern technologies. Cognitive systems are able to learn independently, build upon pre-programmed knowledge, understand natural language, and interact with human beings using reasoning and logic.
In this session we will explore how, through the anthropomorphizing of machines, we are creating an environment of fabricated empathy that will change the human experience, and how we are asking machines to make ethical decisions that they’re grossly ill-prepared to do. We will also explore why Artificial Intelligence won’t create an apocalypse of robots who take over the world. Maybe.
"Walk This Way" is a groundbreaking collaboration between hip-hop legends RUN DMC and rock icons Aerosmith, released in 1986. This iconic track blends rap and rock elements, featuring a catchy chorus and powerful guitar riffs that helped bridge the gap between the two genres. The official HD video showcases the dynamic energy of both bands, with memorable performances and a playful narrative that highlights the fusion of their musical styles. "Walk This Way" became a massive hit, revitalising Aerosmith's career and solidifying RUN DMC's place in music history as pioneers of rap-rock.
Lyric:
Now there's a backseat lover, that's always undercover
And I talked to my dad, he say
He said, "Ya ain't seen nothin' 'til you're down on a muffin
And there's sure to be a change in way"
I met a cheerleader, that's a big young breeder
As far as I could reminisce
And the best thing lovin' was a sister and a cousin
And it started with a little kiss, like this
She start swingin' with the boys in school
And her feet are flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle with the kitty in the middle
And you swingin' like you just don't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a lady who was ready to play
It wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way, she told me to
Walk this way, talk this way
Walk this way, talk this way
She told me to
Walk this way, talk this way
Walk this way, talk this way
Just give me a kiss
Like this
School girl sleazy with a classy kinda sassy
Little skirt hangin' way up her knee
There were three young ladies in a school gym locker
And I find there were lookin' at D
I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady
'Til the boys told me somethin' I miss
That my next door neighbor had a daughter, had a favor
And I gave it a little kiss, like this
Break!
She start swingin' with the boys in the school
With your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle with the kitty in the middle
I was swingin' like I didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With the missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin', cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way, she told me to
Walk this way, talk this way
Walk this way, talk this way
She told me to
Walk this way, talk this way
Walk this way, talk this way
Well, just give me some head

Hi everyone!
Everything is in the title. I can't open pictures taken from my work iPhone (HEIC and also used for family pictures) on Fedora Silverblue 44 and Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS.
For Silverblue I've tried a lot of stuff like:
rpm-ostree install libheif-tools
rpm-ostree libheif-freeworld (getting unknown command)
rpm-ostree install \
https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
rpm-ostree install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
rpm-ostree update --uninstall rpmfusion-free-release --install rpmfusion-free-release
rpm-ostree install libheif-freeworld libheif-tools
For Pop!_OS:
I've added HEIF image decoder in Kodi and tried other things that I don't remember for the file explorer. I've found an application (ImageFan Reloaded if I remember correctly) which can open them, but it's not so user friendly and it's not suitable a family gathering where you wanna watch pictures.
I have an installation of Fedora Workstation 44 and the pictures can be perfectly displayed on this one.
I'd really want to avoid converting all my HEIC pictures to another format as it would be a hassle and the pictures would take more storage space.
If someone could help, it would be nice
Solved: Getting the Flathub version instead of the system version of image viewer solved all my issues. I guess the Fedora and PopOS version are shipping without the codecs for HEIC.
Gosh, thanks it worked! I already had the application, but the Fedora version (also a Flatpak) instead of the Flathub one.
It even worked in PopOS. Just installing this image viewer instead of the system one, allowed me to open HEIC pictures in the file explorer and in Kodi.
Now the only thing I can't do is change the default image viewer. Even uninstalling the system one doesn't allow me to do it, but I guess it's because Cosmic is clearly "work in progress". Huge thanks!

Welcome to a new issue of This Week in Plasma!KDE Blogs
Worked around a Qt regression that made job progress notifications remain visible on screen until explicitly dismissed. (Kai Uwe Broulik, KDE Bugzilla #520120)
This is super annoying right now. I thought it might be an issue with my system, as I have some custom stuff that could have interfered with such behavior. Hope I get the update as soon as possible.
This is the discussion thread for the draft FEP-baf5: Administrator Collection
> This FEP introduces a mechanism for discovering the administrators of an ActivityPub instance. It extends the "Group Moderator" pattern from [FEP 1b12][1b12] and the "Application Actor" concept from [FEP 2677][2677] by defining an OrderedCollection of administrators referenced from the instance's application actor.
@silverpill@mitra.social @technical-discussion@activitypub.space

First, the store now works better on small sizes. The headerbar was redone, with a permanent "updates" button, and a settings icon to enable auto updates.
In application pages, you now get bigger screenshots, and they're surrounded by bright accent colors, and even captions to describe what the app can do.
OS 7 adds a few mentions on app pages as well, like an "outdated" tag if an app hasn't been updated for OS 7, and you also get more update notes, with up to 5 versions.
Now, let's look at the updates to the applications!
First, you get GNOME Web, ported to GTK4, with a much faster webkit engine. It supports creating webapps, that will show up in your elementary OS Menu.
The mail client also received a refreshed UI, that should make its way to other elementary apps as well: the icons are now part of the content, and not split in a separate headerbar. Office 365 accounts will now also appear in the unified inbox. The app is also a lot more stable.
The tasks app is much improved. You can create new task lists offline, and they'll sync to your caldav account when you get back online, and tasks that reach their due date can now send notifications.
The file manager now lets you select folders by clicking on them, when before a single click would open them. You can turn that option on in the context menu.
The Music app is the one that changed the most. It's been rewritten, and it's no longer a music collection manager: it's just a player, with a queue. You just add songs, and they play, and that's it.
Code, the text editor / small IDE also got a few updates, with a full height project bar. It also now supports your system wide dark preference instead of only having manual options for light and dark theme, they added the find tools to the application's menu, and they now support regular expressions, and selecting some text in a file will pre-fill the find tool with that text.
Hiding and showing panels is also now done from the app's menu, and hidden folders will appear in your project tree automatically.
The Terminal also now can follow your system wide dark or light mode, but it lost its transparency by default, which I'm sad about, but it gained the ability to create custom color profiles, which is pretty great.
Now let's finish this with the settings! First, you now get power profiles, with a performance mode, powersave mode, and balanced. Hotcorners are also more configurable, in the multitasking preferences. You can now execute a custom command when activating one of these.
The keyboard shortcuts panel lets you reset something to the default easily. More importantly, though, you can now easily set the super key to open the multitasking view, instead of either the shortcuts or the application menu.
You also get cleaner printer settings with the ability to clear the print queue per printer, and it shows ink levels much more legibly.
You also get a new option in the security panel to prevent new USB devices from being mounted when the computer is locked.
What is a good option for making A5 flyers?
I'm looking for something with FOSS drivers, compact, reasonably affordable to run, and that doesn't mind being switched off for a week at a time.
Image quality is not paramount but should be respectable.
Do I have any decent options?
Brother has great drivers, and cheap printers, but if you need an inkjet for colour printing, make sure you get one with an ink-tank instead of a cartridge system.
Ink bottles are DRM free so you can always use third-party ink, and even the manufacturers own ink bottles are typically much, much, much cheaper per ml than cartridges, although the upfront cost of the printer can be quite a bit higher because of that.
Personally, I have an Epson ET-8550, which I mainly use for photography. Its been fairly reliable, and I've had no issues using it with Linux. I filled it up with ink when I bought it, and even after a little more than year of use, its still got a over a quarter of its original ink remaining. I probably spent multiple times more for stationary paper than I do in ink for it.
Seasoned UX designers have worked in an array of landscapes: physical products, website UIs, mobile applications, and more. Much of what we apply to one medium, we can apply to the next. Yet each presents its own unique challenges and opportunities. With the introduction of voice-based UX, we are facing a very new landscape that presents an abundance of unexplored territory.
In this session Mark will explore many of the elements of voice-based UX environments related to personalities, empathy, cognitive load, memory processes, accessibility, and Artificial Intelligence. He will share some of his related experiences working in wearable/ automotive spaces, outline some of his ideas about how we can apply what we know from other UX landscapes, and exhibit some real-world examples of successful and failed UX in the aural landscape. He will also share his experience as a father in a home abundant with new technologies, many with aural UX.

"Dark Horse" is a captivating track by Katy Perry featuring Juicy J, blending pop and hip-hop elements to create a unique sound. The official music video is visually stunning, showcasing a mystical theme that complements the song's intriguing lyrics. This hit has become a staple in Katy Perry's discography, celebrated for its catchy hook and powerful message.
Lyrics:
I knew you were
You were gonna come to me
And here you are
But you better choose carefully
'Cause I am capable of anything
Of anything and everything
Make me your Aphrodite
Make me your one and only
But don't make me your enemy
Your enemy, your enemy
(Pre-Chorus)
So you wanna play with magic
Boy, you should know what you're fallin' for
Baby, do you dare to do this
'Cause I'm coming atcha like a dark horse
(Chorus)
Are you ready for, ready for
A perfect storm, perfect storm
'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine
There's no going back
Mark my words
This love will make you levitate
Like a bird
Like a bird without a cage
But down to earth
If you choose to walk away
Don't walk away
It's in the palm of your hand now, baby
It's a yes or a no, no maybe
So just be sure
Before you give it all to me
All to me
Give it all to me
(Pre-Chorus)
So you wanna play with magic
Boy, you should know what you're fallin' for
Baby, do you dare to do this
'Cause I'm coming atcha like a dark horse
(Chorus)
Are you ready for, ready for
A perfect storm, perfect storm
'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine
There's no going back
(Juicy J)
She's a beast
I call her Karma
She'll eat your heart out
Like Jeffrey Dahmer
Be careful
Try not to lead her on
Shorty heart is on steroids
'Cause her love is so strong
You may fall in love when you meet her
If you get the chance, you better keep her
She's sweet as pie, but if you break her heart
She'll turn cold as a freezer
That fairy tale ending with a knight in shining armor
She can be my Sleeping Beauty
I'm gon' put her in a coma
Now I think I love her
Shorty so bad, sprung and I don't care
She ride me like a roller coaster
Turned the bedroom into a fair
Her love is like a drug
I was tryna hit it and quit it
But lil' mama so dope
I messed around and got addicted
(Pre-Chorus)
So you wanna play with magic
Boy, you should know what you're fallin' for
Baby, do you dare to do this
'Cause I'm coming atcha like a dark horse
(Chorus)
Are you ready for, ready for
A perfect storm, perfect storm
'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine
There's no going back

It is astonishing to think that I can take a full shower with less water than it takes to flush a toilet.
I consume around 4-5L of water for the shower, and to flush it takes 6-8L. One pee, one flush, and you consume more water than it takes me to have a 20 minutes shower.
In Spain, where I am, people use 128L of water per day, per person. As much as I use in almost 3 weeks.

Water Heater broke so we Reinvented the Shower
When our water heater stopped working we felt like it was a big big deal. Of course not having hot running water is a very uncomfortable situation. But we reinvented our shower to have hot running water. A better system that is 100 times more reliable than the water heater.Funny enough when we started to make the video about the new solution, our water heater came back from dead and started working. Even so I, Tio, still prefer our new shower solution that anyone can actually setup in any van probably.
It costs 50 Euros and you need a water pump, a collapsible bucket, and a kettle.

A Tennessee man who was jailed for 37 days over a Facebook post he shared after the killing of Charlie Kirk has agreed to a $835,000 settlement with the sheriff who detained him, his lawyers said on Wednesday.
The fatal shooting of Mr. Kirk, the conservative activist, last September set off an avalanche of social media commentary across the country. With it came firings, resignations and a debate about the boundaries of free speech. But Larry Bushart, the man arrested in Tennessee, was perhaps the only person charged with a felony after his posts about Mr. Kirk’s death.
In the posts, he shared memes that accused Mr. Kirk’s organization, Turning Point USA, of perpetrating hate and another that included past comments from President Trump about moving past a school shooting. The sheriff’s office in Perry County, Tenn., claimed that with those posts, he had threatened violence.
Hi! I made this post because of seeing the other post on asklemmy.
I exclusively have watched Dimension 20 (D20) because I started out listening to all of Not Another DND Podcast (NADDPod) and couldn't get enough. I don't really get the On A Bus variant except it is somebody DMing who is taking the piss out of Brennan and the other DMs? But who is the elf lady and how do they know her?
Also I heard that the latest Critical Roll has Brennan as the DM, is that approachable if you've never watched Critical Roll? I tried to get into it years ago but couldn't deal with the huge cast.
If you've never seen D20, this 6 minute overview is super entertaining and is also a great overview of the energy and talent Brennan brings to every episode. youtube.com/watch?v=4zZzsB0VBs…
Is there a video like this to help people get into the rest of Dropout?
What do you watch, and why?
Want to get into Dimension 20 but didn't know where to start? Let Brennan give you ALL of your options for how best to dive into the wonderful, wild world of...Dimension 20 (YouTube)
I think, like a lot of people, my first exposure to Dropout's stuff was on youtube. There's a lot of stuff you can watch for free before paying for it, and Sam makes a point of keeping everything affordable and customer-friendly.
For Game Changer, watch the first Sam Says episode to get a sense for the tone.
For Make Some Noise, you can just check out their clip channel and look at... Any of them. There's no continuity to worry about.
For Um Actually, there's an episode about D&D that, as a D20 fan, you should be able to play along with.
Brennan, Izzy, and Lou play Sam's own version of Simon Says, with a few twists. Watch every episode of Game Changer on Dropout: https://gamechanger.dropout.t...Dropout (YouTube)
who is the elf lady and how do they know her?
That's Katie Marovich, who has been a writer for Dropout since it was CollegeHumor. She's easily one of the funniest people they employ.
Edit to add: one of Droput's MOs is to piss Brennan off. Sam Reich does everything in his little mischievous power to get a rise out of that poor, poor man.
Personally I don't like watching liveplay ttrpg shows, so my favorites to watch are Gamechanger and Make Some Noise. I also love Smartpants and Gastronauts, and occasionally we'll catch Um, Actually.

Glad it was reported properly. Imo this is just as bad as copy fail, as it affects mostly regular desktop users.
I have helped plenty of not-very-technical people switch to Linux and these kinds of vulnerabilities scare me the most when it comes to them.
I wanted a sanity check on my current rsync flags. Posts on Reddit seem to highlight the use of rsync -avz for most use cases, for some instances even for when someone asks for mirroring a drive: reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comme… This has not worked for me for the following case:
Drive #1:
file1.txt
file2.txtfile1.txt
file2.txt
file3.txt-avz, file3 on the destination would not be deleted. With experimenting, I ended up now using rsync -havziP --delete-after --info=progress2 dir1/ dir2/, which actually ended up mirroring the drives for me. My question is: is this the best rsync approach for mirroring drives or was there a better option that works better?Side note: it is interesting that rclone sync from rclone (rclone.org/commands/rclone_syn…) claims to delete by default, while with rsync it seems to be something you have to distinctly mention.
Rsync command to mirror drive byu/jesuiscaramel inDataHoarderjesuiscaramel (reddit)
--delete-before which might help if your destination is tight on available space. And, as usual with 'traditional' tools, man-page is pretty good, there's a ton of parameters which might be helpful. And, as @hades@feddit.uk already mentioned, compression (-z) may actually hurt performance if you have a lot of bandwidth or if you're copying over already compressed data like JPGs.
-z. Thanks for clarifying that for me (thanks to @hades@feddit.uk as well!). I'll definitely keep an eye on the speed with -z vs without it when I do my next dry run.

It can make the client wait until the proxy itself fetches the requested content and then serve it, with subsequent requests being served from the cache. From a user's perspective, it means staring at "hung" process, and people tend not to be understanding when a program is stuck seemingly doing nothing.
Instead, the proxy can stream the response from the origin, caching it at the end. This makes the client receive the data right away, although it's not without drawbacks.
In a streaming setup like Flathub's, an all-MISS path adds some upstream latency before the first byte, but also limits the download speed to what the slowest link can deliver. As we don't run servers in the same datacenter or on a single backbone network, the hop from Fastly through the caching proxy to the master server incurs a penalty that may affect how quickly the data gets back.
In order to cache files larger than 20MB, Fastly expects customers who use streaming misses to use segmented caching. Anything larger than that gets broken down into smaller chunks. When Fastly wants the data from us, it will add a Range header specifying which bytes we should respond with. Fastly will then serve the request after reconstructing the file from various chunks. Our caching proxies also use the value of the Range header in the caching key to avoid requesting the full file over and over again from the master server as well.
While great for caching, many concurrent range MISSes can turn what would be a sequential file read into scattered, random reads. It wouldn't matter with SSD or NVMe, but as the repository is stored on HDDs, when combined with streaming misses, it can turn cold transfer speed into min(network bottleneck, ZFS random-read bottleneck).
Counterintuitively, you may improve your download speeds by aborting the ongoing Flatpak operation and starting it again. While the initial request was slow, there's a non-zero chance it went through all the caching layers and it will become a cache hit in the meantime.
FlatpakLet's talk Flatpak. When installing or upgrading applications, Flatpak will try to use delta files. A typical delta is an update file that contains only the difference between versions. There are also from-scratch deltas, which effectively are an archive with all files required to install an app from scratch, thus the name.
Flathub generates a single upgrade delta and a from-scratch delta for the latest version. Delta generation is an expensive process in terms of disk reads and writes, but also disk space. Because our ZFS setup isn't exactly the fastest, generating more delta files also affects how quickly we can publish an update. Yes, in theory we could be doing this out of band but we don't. In hindsight, Titanic wasn't unsinkable after all.
What happens if you are not updating often enough? A lot of suffering. Flatpak will download each missing file between the version you are on and the one you want to upgrade to, separately. This is an almost certain cache miss causing even more random seeks on the master server. At this point Flatpak would be better off downloading the from-scratch delta but it can't. The behaviour is controlled by OSTree, which doesn't offer any knobs to affect it. It is the right choice if the goal is to limit the bandwidth used by the client to fetch updates, but an incredibly bad one for anyone on a reliable connection; downloading a single large file is almost always faster than fetching multiple smaller ones.
What do? Some brave soul could fix OSTree to apply a better heuristic on when to use from-scratch deltas for upgrades, or at least make it expose an API that lets Flatpak choose. For the rest of us mere mortals, we can only update regularly or wait patiently for the update to finish.
It's probably not your fault. On a cache miss, there are two things a reverse proxy (which Fastly is to us) can do. It can make the client wait until the ...barthalion
Flatpack is a solution to a problem most people don't have, dont use it unless you really know why you are using it. If you don't understand why you should not use it don't.
Also, delta files are a neat thing but if their backend can't do it efficiently it is just stupid IMO. To me it sounds like premature optimisation, a common issue in software development.
Flatpak is decentralized, though I do have reservations with how some people only want Flathub to exist.
Flathub uses CDNs, so they are effectively the mirrors.
Managing System Extensions on openSUSE MicroOS with sysextmgrcli If you are running openSUSE MicroOS, you already know the drill: the root filesystem is read...openSUSE News
This is cool, and I'm interested to see where this goes. But to me the whole sysext thing is actually a compelling argument for why Linux power users (i.e. most Linux users on lemmy) aren't suited to immutable distros.
When something as fundamental as git requires multiple obscure commands to install, you've got to think twice about the target audience.
When something as fundamental as git requires multiple obscure commands to install, you’ve got to think twice about the target audience.
Ideally the tooling gets better and you don’t have to do anything else but “toolname install package” or have a declarative list of what to install.
why Linux power users (i.e. most Linux users on lemmy) aren’t suited to immutable distros.
I think the main problem is that immutable distros haven’t thought things through from the beginning.
It started out as just using flatpak and podman. But each of those has limitations. But rather than improving them, we just keep creating / bringing in new package managers. Homebrew, cold brew, system extensions, nix, etc.
Funnily enough, the only entity who is sane in this regard is Canonical. If snap has a limitation, they just update snap to not have the limitation rather than brining in another package manager.
But honestly I think the biggest offender here is flatpak. If not for its mandatory sandbox and anti CLI tool stance, it could have handled everything. “Flatpak Next” seems to be address the first issue as it is planned to have an unsandboxed mode.
Hmm, I think I agree with this.
Certainly I'd love a universal GUI/CLI package manager with optional sandboxing. I don't use nix, but it seems like the closest solution out there right now
I think the main problem is that immutable distros haven’t thought things through from the beginning.
I think I understand why you might have that feeling, but I think it's more complex than that.
Say, we look at Fedora Atomic, as that's the atomic distro I'm most familiar with. At inception, it offered the following ('staggered') three-way:
- Flatpak, if it's available (and if it works nicely).
- Toolbx, if the above didn't work (and if it works nicely).
- rpm-ostree, if the above didn't work. Basically your fail-safe.
So AFAIU, as long as you didn't rpm-ostree your whole system, it was a 'win' for the atomic model.
You might argue that their priority should have been the development of an all-encompassing package manager that works (almost) as sleek any other one. And only after that's been (somewhat) completed, should they have shipped a system built around it. However, the trouble it has been taking Ubuntu to launch its Core Desktop since its announcement, definitely suggests that building an OS around a more complete (and complex) package manager poses its own set of challenges^[See NixOS 😜.]. Contrast that to Fedora and openSUSE, both of which were able to launch their respective atomic distros for Desktop Linux in a more timely fashion.
If snap has a limitation, they just update snap to not have the limitation rather than brining in another package manager.
I think you're making a category error. If Snap chooses to replace your complete OS, then it makes sense to get rid of any limitations. Because that's in scope of its intended design. Flatpak, from my understanding, simply tries to become for Desktop Linux what the App Store and Google Play are for iOS and Android respectively. Hence, it doesn't make much sense to blame it for what is out of its scope. Similarly to how it wouldn't make any sense to scold VLC because it doesn't play your Windows games. Here, I explicitly named Flatpak, but note that this principle applies to basically any other alternative package manager we (tend to) find on atomic distros.
Consequently, therefore, perhaps the distros are to be blamed for shipping lackluster package managers instead of introducing one-to-one replacements of the traditional ones. But I think this is just a very complex problem 😅. And I suppose you knew that already...
Ubuntu Summit: Jon Seager, VP of Engineering, talks exclusively to The RegLiam Proven (theregister)
I agree in the case of Fedora Atomic, they've stuck to flatpak and podman (so far, they have their system extension manager tool in the work) and have rpm layering as a fallback.
But not all atomic distros have that fallback. Universal Blue, more specifically Bluefin, does not want to allow layering at all; this is already implemented in the LTS version (though it's just bootc, so you can build your own image to install rpms). This is also true for "distroless" models like Gnome OS (and there you don't have any prebuilt packages to pull in even if you made your own buildstream image). So for these, you have to make-do with the package managers they provide or you're out of luck.
In an ideal world, I think we should have a single package manager that sits on top the the OS that can handle everything: GUI apps, CLI tools, sandboxed by default but also able to be disabled completely for the apps that don't work well with sandboxes. The closest thing we have to that right now is snap.
In an imperfect but more likely world, I would be fine with two package managers. Flatpak for GUI apps and something else for CLI tools. "Flatpak Next" could fix one issue with its unsandboxed mode. But I still haven't found something that universally works well for CLI apps.
But to me the whole sysext thing is actually a compelling argument for why Linux power users (i.e. most Linux users on lemmy) aren’t suited to immutable distros.
Sorry, but I don't see why. Btw, I'm pretty well-versed in ~~immutable~~ atomic distros. So, please don't feel the need to explain how it works.
When something as fundamental as git requires multiple obscure commands to install
I think you're overstating the bold part.
Instead of <package-manager> install <package>, it becomes sysextmgrcli install <package> and systemd-sysext merge. I understand that going from a single command to two commands is effectively doubling the effort. But, as systextmgrcli is a horribly long name to invoke (and why I suspect it will change eventually), you might want to alias that anyways. At which point, creating a function within your .bashrc to streamline that to a single command shouldn't be too much to ask for a power user.
As for the obscure part, sysextmgrcli is the tool that's being introduced. Hence, it would be rather oxymoronic to expect that it's anything but obscure. Beyond that, its usage seems reasonably sane and relatively standard. Very common arguments like list, install and update that are found on basically every other package manager work as expected. So, honestly, I don't see the problem.
As for the second command, while systemd-sysext has been a part of systemd since its v248 release over five years ago, Desktop Linux users haven't had much use for it yet. Though, thankfully, learning that systemd-sysext merge is done after installing a system extension and systemd-sysext unmerge is done for uninstalling a system extension shouldn't be too much to ask.
Its not so much the UX that I take issue with, but the complexity of what's going on under the hood.
The way I see it, either the base image of an atomic/immutable distro is suitable for you, or it isn't. Once you start getting into the territory of layering new tools/drivers/whatever on top, you're reintroducing the statefulness that the atomicity was supposed to eliminate.
Hmm..., I didn't get that from your first response. But thank you for clarifying!
Once you start getting into the territory of layering new tools/drivers/whatever on top, you’re reintroducing the statefulness that the atomicity was supposed to eliminate.
I agree with your sentiment overall, but with a lot of nuance. I'd rather formulate it purposely ambiguous as follows: Once you start getting into the territory of modifying stuff, you might reintroduce some of the statefulness that the paradigm was supposed to eliminate.
I am aware that this ambiguity invites clarity and elaboration. And therefore I'd like to offer my genuine apologies for not responding to said invitation. However, I hope that this excellently written blogpost suffices in conveying how systems can be both stateless and ever-mutable.
::: spoiler spoiler
The answer is indeed by going declarative.
:::
No apologies necessary! I was partly kicking the hornets nest to see if an interesting discussion fell out...
That blog post is absolutely brilliant! It does a great job of stating what a user should want from a system: easy and deterministic re-deployment. If atomic ends up being the best too for that job, I'll come back. But for now I'm happy with Debian, a separate home partition, and a strong preference for flatpak over apt.
En el mundo del corte industrial, la eficiencia no es un accidente. Es el resultado de miles de horas de ingeniería, de pruebas de materiales, de ajustes milimétricos en la velocidad de avance y la geometría de las hojas. DASER ROBOTICS ha construido su reputación sobre esa precisión, ofreciendo maquinaria capaz de domar PVC, aluminio, hierro y madera con una consistencia que roza lo quirúrgico. Pero dentro de su catálogo hay un concepto que resume su filosofía: Kaban. No es una máquina. Es una forma de entender el corte como un proceso integrado, donde cada pieza encaja con la siguiente sin necesidad de retrabajos.
La idea de Kaban nace de la observación de los talleres más eficientes. Aquellos donde el operario no pierde tiempo entre ajustes, donde la transición de un material a otro se mide en segundos, no en minutos. Kaban es la capacidad de cambiar de un perfil de PVC a una viga de aluminio sin recalibrar todo el sistema. Es la memoria de los parámetros de corte que se guardan y se recuperan con un solo clic. Es la certeza de que la pieza número mil será idéntica a la número uno. En un taller que trabaja contra el reloj, esa certeza es oro.
La maquinaria de DASER está diseñada para hacer realidad esa filosofía. Sus sistemas de control numérico permiten almacenar cientos de programas de corte, cada uno con sus velocidades, avances y ángulos específicos. El operario no necesita ser un ingeniero de procesos; solo necesita seleccionar el perfil y pulsar inicio. La máquina hace el resto. Kaban es esa interfaz sencilla que esconde una complejidad técnica impresionante. Es la inteligencia aplicada a la dureza del hierro, a la ligereza del aluminio, a la delicadeza de la madera.
Para el taller que trabaja con PVC, Kaban significa cortes sin rebabas, sin el calor que derrite el material y arruina el acabado. Para el que trabaja con aluminio, Kaban significa cero vibraciones, cero marcas de herramienta, cero pulidos extras. Para el hierro, Kaban es potencia y estabilidad, cortes que no desvían la viga ni desperdician material. Para la madera, Kaban es respeto por la veta, velocidad de avance que se adapta a la densidad del nudo, evitando astilladuras. Cuatro mundos, una misma filosofía.
La industria del corte está evolucionando hacia la automatización y la integración. Las máquinas ya no son islas; son parte de un ecosistema productivo donde la información fluye sin interrupciones. Kaban representa esa evolución: la máquina que no solo corta, sino que aprende, recuerda, optimiza. El operario deja de ser un ejecutor de tareas repetitivas para convertirse en un supervisor de calidad. La productividad se dispara, el desperdicio se reduce, y el taller se vuelve competitivo no por tener la máquina más cara, sino por tener la más inteligente.
DASER ROBOTICS ha entendido que el futuro del corte no está en máquinas más grandes o más rápidas, sino en máquinas más fáciles de usar. Kaban es la materialización de esa visión. No es un lujo, es una necesidad para quien quiere competir en mercados donde el margen de error es cero. Un milímetro de desviación en un perfil de ventana puede significar que la pieza entera vaya al desecho. Un acabado defectuoso en una viga de aluminio puede arruinar una fachada entera. Kaban elimina esos riesgos desde el origen, no con parches posteriores, sino con precisión desde el primer corte.
Para los talleres que ya han adoptado esta filosofía, los resultados son tangibles. Menos retrabajos, menos material desperdiciado, menos horas extra. Más entregas a tiempo, más clientes satisfechos, más pedidos repetidos. La inversión en una máquina DASER con capacidad Kaban no es un gasto; es una decisión estratégica. Porque en el corte industrial, la diferencia entre ganar o perder un contrato no está en el precio del material, sino en la capacidad de entregar piezas perfectas, siempre. Kaban lo hace posible. No con magia, con ingeniería. Con años de experiencia acumulada en cada línea de código, en cada ajuste de velocidad, en cada geometría de hoja. Eso es DASER. Eso es Kaban. La precisión hecha sistema. La eficiencia hecha rutina. El corte perfecto, simplemente, hecho.

Hm.. I struggle to picture what you're trying to achieve..
If you are "making an app" as in coding one, you can just have it say ask for a pin in a window as part of starting up.
You suggest various encryption related solutions.. what is your threat model? Do you want to make the identity of the app unknown to others? Normally, autkenticating users is the responsibility of the os/desktop environment, and it would be non-ideomatic for an application to bundle its own auth, except for apps such as a password manager.
If you want to make an existing system app privileged/secret in some way then that sounds awkward indeed. Normally you'd definitely be using user management facilities (e.g. dedicated users and sudo config) to achieve such a thing.
If you really do want to make the app "secret" in some sense you could achieve the same thing as with your mac using a combination of loopback block devices (see man losetup) with an encrypted luks volume inside.. but depending on the app you might end up in dependency hell if it's not statically linked.
ymmv 🙂

Hello,
I'm having a hard time running Fedora KDE Plasma on a Macbook pro from 2019,.
Even after following online guides, I'm loosing the WiFi again and again with no understanding of what's going on.
And the touchbar is getting buggy every time I put the computer to sleep mode and come back on it.
Nor to mention the sleep mode not able to awake...making it necessary to reboot.
Any people experiencing the same situation ? And most important, solutions ?

Discover the legendary 1925 Japanese silent masterpiece Orochi, now restored and retitled to its original intended name: Outlaw.
Directed by Buntarō Futagawa and starring the iconic Tsumasaburō Bandō (Bantsuma) at the peak of his fame, this explosive jidaigeki follows a proud, low-ranking samurai whose sense of justice and fiery temper lead him into a downward spiral of misunderstandings, betrayal, and societal rejection. Framed and hounded by those in power, he transforms from loyal retainer into a feared outlaw—yet the film boldly questions: Who are the real villains in a world ruled by hypocrisy and rigid class structures?
Featuring groundbreaking, kinetic sword-fighting sequences that influenced generations of chambara cinema, raw emotional depth, and a searing critique of feudal injustice that feels startlingly modern, Outlaw was so provocative that censors forced a title change from its original "Outlaw" to "Orochi" (Serpent).
The edition features a score by Doctor Deathray and narration by Robin Black.
I have a folder full of unsorted files and a detailed INDEX.md that defines the exact target directory structure (think nested categories, file placements, etc.). I'm looking for a tool that can read the markdown and automatically move/copy each file into the right subfolder with high accuracy.
I feel like an AI agent with a free model like OpenRouter's deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash:free is already capable of doing it but it may as well delete all files. Would you trust it to do it or is there any other tool for the task?
Edit: I just asked it to do it but letting me see the destinations and confirming before moving the files and it worked fine.
i was actually looking for a tool like this, but not based on some arbitrary rules but on file type. there's mouzi although it doesnt have linux support yet, would something like that work or do you need something else?

Kylie’s 1987 debut single “The Loco-motion” was re-produced in ’88 with the Hit Factory’s Stock Aitken and Waterman for this UK number 2 hit.
It was also her biggest hit in the US peaking at no. 3 and was number one in Belgium, Finland, Ireland, ~~Israel~~, Japan and South Africa. The song was a cover of Little Eva’s American number one dancefloor sensation written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin and featured on the soundtrack for Arthur 2: On The Rocks starring Liza Minelli and Dudley Moore. Taken from “Kylie” her 7 x UK platinum debut album.

Trying to get control
Pressure's taking its toll
Stuck in the middle zone
I just want you alone
My guessing game is strong
Way too real to be wrong
Caught up in your show
Yeah, at least now I know
It wasn't love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
Mistaken for love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
Oh, you were a perfect illusion
I don't need eyes to see
I felt you touching me
High like amphetamine
Maybe you're just a dream
That's what it means to crush
Now that I'm waking up
I still feel the blow
But at least now I know
It wasn't love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
Mistaken for love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)
(Where are you? 'Cause I can't see you)
It was a perfect illusion (But I feel you watching me)
(Dilated, falling free in a modern ecstasy)
(Where are you? 'Cause I can't see you)
It was a perfect illusion (But I feel you watching me)
(But I feel you watching me)
Illusion (But I feel you watching me)
Mistaken for love
(Where are you? 'Cause I can't see you)
(But I feel you watching me)
Mistaken for love (Dilated, falling free)
(In a modern ecstasy) Mistaken for love
(In a modern ecstasy)
(In a modern ecstasy)
I'm over the show
Yeah, at least now I know
It wasn't love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
Mistaken for love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
Oh, you were a perfect illusion
Oh, it was a perfect illusion
It was a perfect illusion
Somewhere in all the confusion
It was a perfect illusion, illusion, illusion
It was a perfect illusion
Somewhere in all the confusion
You were so perfect
You were a, you were a perfect illusion

I wanna hold 'em like they do in Texas, please (hey)
Fold 'em, let 'em hit me, raise it, baby, stay with me (I love it)
LoveGame intuition play the cards with spades to start
And after he's been hooked, I'll play the one that's on his heart
Oh, whoa, oh-oh, ooh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, whoa, oh-oh, ooh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Can't read my, can't read my
No, he can't read my poker face (she's got me like nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my

I wanna roll with him, a hard pair we will be (hey)
A little gambling is fun when you're with me (hey, I love it)
Russian roulette is not the same without a gun
And, baby, when it's love, if it's not rough, it isn't fun (fun)
Oh, whoa, oh-oh, ooh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, whoa, oh-oh, ooh

I won't tell you that I love you, kiss or hug you
'Cause I'm bluffin' with my muffin
I'm not lyin', I'm just stunnin' with my love-glue gunnin'
Just like a chick in the casino
Take your bank before I pay you out
I promise this, promise this
Check this hand 'cause I'm marvelous
Can't read my, can't read my
No, he can't read my poker face (she's got me like nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my

Music video by Lady Gaga performing Hold My Hand.
To tell me you need me
Hold my hand, everything will be okay
I heard from the heavens that clouds have been gray
Pull me close, wrap me in your aching arms
I see that you're hurting, why'd you take so long
To tell me you need me? I see that you're bleeding
You don't need to show me again
But if you decide to, I'll ride in this life with you
I won't let go 'til the end
So, cry tonight
But don't you let go of my hand
You can cry every last tear
I won't leave 'til I understand
Promise me, just hold my hand
Raise your head, look into my wishful eyes
That fear that's inside you will lift, give it time
I can see everything you're blind to now
Your prayers will be answered, let God whisper how
To tell me you need me, I see that you're bleeding
You don't need to show me again
But if you decide to, I'll ride in this life with you
I won't let go 'til the end
So, cry tonight
But don't you let go of my hand
You can cry every last tear
I won't leave 'til I understand
Promise you'll just hold my hand
Hold my hand, hold my
Hold my hand, my hand
I'll be right here, hold my hand
Hold my hand, hold my
Hold my hand, my hand
I'll be right here, hold my hand
I know you're scared and your pain is imperfect
But don't you give up on yourself
I've heard a story, a girl, she once told me
That I would be happy again
Hold my hand, yeah
Hold my hand, oh yeah
Hold my hand, hold my hand
Hold my hand, hold my hand
Hold my hand
I heard from the heavens

Official Music video by Lady Gaga performing The Edge Of Glory.
There ain't no reason you and me should be alone tonight
Yeah, baby, tonight, yeah, baby
But I got a reason that you should take me home tonight
I need a man that thinks it right when it's so wrong
Tonight, yeah, baby
Tonight, yeah, baby
Right on the limit's where we know we both belong tonight
It's hot to feel the rush
To brush the dangerous
I'm gonna run right to
To the edge with you
Where we can both fall far in love
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment of truth
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment with you
I'm on the edge
The edge, the edge, the edge
The edge, the edge, the edge
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you
Another shot before we kiss the other side tonight
Yeah, baby, tonight, yeah, baby
I'm on the edge of something final we call life tonight
Alright, alright
Put on your shades 'cause I'll be dancing in the flames tonight
Yeah, baby, tonight, yeah, baby
It isn't hell if everybody knows my name tonight
Alright, alright
It's hot to feel the rush
To brush the dangerous
I'm gonna run right to
To the edge with you
Where we can both fall far in love
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment of truth
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment with you
I'm on the edge
The edge, the edge, the edge
The edge, the edge, the edge
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you
I'm on the edge with you
I'm on the edge with you
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment of truth
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment with you
I'm on the edge
The edge, the edge, the edge
The edge, the edge, the edge
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you (with you, with you, with you, with you)
I'm on the edge with you (with you, with you, with you, with you)
I'm on the edge with you (with you, with you, with you, with you)
I'm on the edge with you (with you, with you, with you, with you)

Music video by Lady Gaga performing Telephone (Clean Version).
Hello, hello, baby
You called, I can't hear a thing
I have got no service in the club, you see, see
Wha-wha-what did you say, oh
You're breaking up on me
Sorry, I cannot hear you, I'm kinda busy
K-kinda busy, k-kinda busy
Sorry, I cannot hear you, I'm kinda busy
Just a second
It's my favorite song they're gonna play
And I cannot text you with a drink in my hand, eh?
You should've made some plans with me
You knew that I was free
And now you won't stop calling me, I'm kinda busy
Stop calling, stop calling
I don't wanna think anymore
I got my head and my heart on the dance floor
Stop calling, stop calling
I don't wanna talk anymore
I got my head and my heart on the dance floor
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Stop telephoning me
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
I'm busy
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Stop telephoning me
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Can call all you want, but there's no one home
And you're not gonna reach my Telephone
Out in the club, and I'm sipping that bubb
And you're not gonna reach my Telephone
Call all you want, but there's no one home
And you're not gonna reach my Telephone
Out in the club, and I'm sipping that bubb
And you're not gonna reach my Telephone
Boy, the way you blowing up my phone
Won't make me leave no faster
Put my coat on faster
Leave my girls no faster
I should've left my phone at home
'Cause this is a disaster
Calling like a collector
Sorry, I cannot answer
Not that I don't like you, I'm just at a party
And I am sick and tired of my phone r-ringing
Sometimes I feel like I live in Grand Central Station
Tonight I'm not taking no calls, 'cause I'll be dancing
'Cause I'll be dancing, 'cause I'll be dancing
Tonight I'm not taking no calls, 'cause I'll be dancing
Stop calling, stop calling
I don't wanna think anymore
I got my head and my heart on the dance floor
Stop calling, stop calling
I don't wanna talk anymore
I got my head and my heart on the dance floor
Stop calling, stop calling
I don't wanna think anymore
I got my head and my heart on the dance floor
Stop calling, stop calling
I don't wanna talk anymore
I got my head and my heart on the dance floor
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Stop telephoning me
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
I'm busy
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Stop telephoning me
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Can call all you want, but there's no one home
And you're not gonna reach my Telephone
'Cause I'm out in the club, and I'm sipping that bubb
And you're not gonna reach my Telephone
Call all you want, but there's no one home
And you're not gonna reach my Telephone
'Cause I'm out in the club, and I'm sipping that bubb
And you're not gonna reach my Telephone
My Telephone, m-m-my Telephone
'Cause I'm out in the club, and I'm sipping that bubb
And you're not gonna reach my Telephone
My Telephone, m-m-my Telephone
'Cause I'm out in the club, and I'm sipping that bubb
And you're not gonna reach my Telephone
We're sorry (we're sorry)
The number you have reached is not in service at this time
Please check the number, or try your call again

in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ • • •It would probably make a good terminal if it had an RS-232 serial port. The CM5 would be overkill for that. A Pi Zero would be sufficient and a lot less power hungry.
There's no way I'm going to be doing much typing on that tiny keyboard though.
