While covering the latest Israeli settler attack in the West Bank, Israeli soldiers assaulted my photojournalist @cyrilthps and detained my team. But our 2-hour detention revealed a lot about the motives of these Israeli soldiers: acting in service of the settler movement. W/ @AbeerSalmanCNN

Lichess Alternative Android Clients?


Since lichess is open-source and most people who use chess.com over lichess complain lichess "doesn't look as good" I was wondering if there are third-party clients for lichess who are styled differently/ better? or if not, if there is a reason why there are no other clients.

What about Dynamic cursor color in Linux?

When we have our cursor in a blackish background, convert the cursor to be white, and when we are in a whitish background, convert to black. We can have the default black cursor with white outline to maximize visibility when in a different color background for now.

This isnt a feature in Windows or Mac either so if Linux does it, Linux would be the first to do it

OK, so the actual trick I wanted to share was that of using dishsshshsh soap (as I put it in the video) as a kind-of lubricant 😁 Note: Handlebar grips are made of various rubbers & the trick may work differently depending on that - this silicone one, for example, fought me a lot harder than the previous ones made of a rubber material called Kraton... your results may vary.

Yes, I know my Shorts aren't what YT calls shorts. Don't care.

Just a quick one, to show off my latest flea market find...

Contrary to what I muse about in the video, I think this may actually be some sort of Metal Gear swag - one of the texts on it says "Diamond Dogs R&D Artificial Limbs Laboratory", and MG is the only thing that comes up when throwing that into Google. I've never played it so I can't tell if the style fits MG aesthetics or whatever.

Yes, I know my Shorts aren't what YT calls shorts. Don't care.

A workshop needs suction, even - or especially - an apartment workshop, so I built a cheap, simple system. It works, but it's a little messy, so... you saw the title of the video.

This is not CGI, it's a classical optical illusion called the Ames room - cool, yes...?

Background: This particular Ames room was made for a Quaker Oats commercial, obviously. The commercial was directed by Errol Morris (who, in the video, is joined by magician & actor Ricky Jay), and the room designed & built by Steve Hardie. I have been unable to find the original commercial, or even what year it came out. I don't remember how I came into possession of the video, it was just lying around on a hard drive in this very low resolution - so, uh, apologies to the aforementioned parties if I'm stepping on any toes πŸ˜€

Why sometimes Linux is hard to switch to

Normally I always forget why I still keep thinking about switching back to Windows. Today was a great reminder.
Linux can be frustrating. This post is somewhat about awareness and partly about me learning about other peoples experiences.
I updated my CachyOS as usual. There were some system packages upgraded and I got the notification to reboot. Figuring I'd do it later I left after some time and the PC went to sleep. Upon returning the screen stayed black. Even upon forced reboot. Remembering I was using Limine with BTRFS snapshots I tried multiple previous snapshots but to no avail. I remember this happened before.
So now I face another reinstall..
This and having to dive into the deep end of terminal commands to get drivers, programs or games working can be quite frustrating. I understand why people are turned off and go back to Windows..

Onto NixOS for me. A big dive but it seems very stable which might be just what i need. I feel like the philosophy of NixOS combined with a graphical store to install programs and what not seems like a great solution.

What would your ultimate distro be like?

Yes you're totally right. It's like owning a race car. You have to do a lot of maintenance to it and it will still bite you in the ass but when it works right it's fast as hell and a lot of fun. But on the other hand: if there's no downside to built in some failsafes then why not do it?

Advice for upcycle build
The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please go to the original post.

my home server that does everything died many weeks ago so i've been making due with VASTLY inferior backups that literally haven't received updates in over a decade because the manufacturers stop supported them.

i've rebuilt this server many times from old e-waste i had laying around and my last attempt to solicit feedback on the last rebuild yeilded some VERY useful advice so i'm hoping to lightening strikes twice.

my constraints are that i can only use hardware that i have on hand; with the exception of a motherboard since i don't have a functional one this time around, so i plan on buying one used off of craigslist or one of the many local repair shops.

also: deepseek tells me that this hardware are the only things i have on hand that are compatible with each other (and i'm crossing my fingers in the hopes that some of them still work):

  • CPU: socket LGA1200 era Intel Celeron
  • RAM: 64 gigs DDR4 3200 on 2 128 pin sticks
  • CASE: mini itx steel case
  • POWER: ATX standard
  • DRIVES: 4 SATA, 1 PATA, 2 NVME

i also have a wifi3 router/ap and a wifi4 router/ap combo boxes; these are the backups i'm currently using and they are crazy slow.

i need this build to do the same thing its predecessor did which were (ranked in order of importance):
- router (i used a pfsense virtual machine last time)
- wifi access point (i last used a wifi nic in AP mode)
- DNS adblocking (i used pfBlockerNG last time)
- live kernel patching (used ubuntu last time)
- vlan segmentation (via pfsense)
- vpn routing (via pfsense)
- jbod drives (aka no raid nor HA and permanently mounted on the host)
- backup capabilities (last used rsync initiated server side to laptops & - gmail)
- per device firewall rules (for the robot vacuum and security cameras)
- IDS & IPS (via pfsense)
- home cloud storage (last used pfsense + nfs + sshfs + ddns)
- multimedia system (last used kodi + old plasma tv)

Future Proofing Server


my home server needs to be reconstructed and i'm seeking ideas on how to future proof it. here's some ascii art in a screenshot to help describe how it's currently setup:

current server

description (left to right):
- laptops, smartphones, tables, etc connect to an access point configured on a windows 10 virtual machine (vm). the windows10 vm uses pci passthrough on the wireless adapter and this is done to get gigabit wifi speeds since intel's drivers won't allow linux to do this in ap mode; but will allow it just fine if you're using windows.
- requests from the wifi clients are passed via dns & ip masquerade to another virtual machine based on pfsense
- pfsense serves as the router, firewall, vpn, ad blocking & web hosting and it's also configured to use pci passthrough on the primary network interface to gap internet traffic from the server
- the center of the drawing shows how i perform data backups using a 3 gig wired connection with a hardware switch and i setup the host ubuntu server to manage dhcp on the secondary network interface & the devices that are connect to the switch. the data is stored using rsync and harddrives are setup to use an extremely large lvm made of several different types of hard drives.

i've rebuilt this server multiple times each time i encountered a "gotcha" or a surprise that i had not anticipated and it made some needful component stop working; so i'm seeking advice from Lemmy on how to redesign this to mitigate future surprises.

some of the surprises i've encountered so far are:
- the pfsense logs overfilled the root volume of the bsd based vm because logrotate was configured for linux. the image is hardcoded with a single volume so i will need to find a way to borrow some space from the backup volume using nfs and configure the logs to write there instead of locally.
- i have no key for the windows10 vm; so i'm forced to clone it's qcow image and manually configure the hotspot each time the 30 day free trial from microsoft expires. I intend to improve upon this creating an ansible job to rotate this virtual machine every 30 days automatically and include powershell based tasks to configure the hotspot in windows automatically
- intel limits the speed for linux native internet connection sharing to 100 megabits (already mentioned & fixed above)
- the local users home volume overfills when trying to take my google backups (already fixed)
- my cats & dogs LOVE the taste of cat6 capables and cat6 is required for 3 gigabit speeds (also fixed)

constraints:
- don't spend anymore $$$
- gigabit wifi speed is A MUST
- 3 gigabit backups speeds are a must too

CPU: socket LGA1200 era Intel Celeron

DRIVES: 4 SATA, 1 PATA, 2 NVME


Just wanted to mention that PATA hard drive may need to sit this one out, depends on whether you want to buy more stuff beyond a motherboard. LGA1200 means you're using motherboards built from roughly 2020+, it would be highly unusual to find a motherboard with a PATA port in this decade or even last decade. So to use that drive inside the server you're looking at buying some type of adapter (I've seen PATA-to-SATA adapters but can't vouch for any in particular) or a PCIe card with PATA ports if those exist. Or to use it externally you'd have to hunt around for an old IDE-to-USB enclosure or some other type of USB adapter to have the drive sit outside the server.

I have a few old PATA drives myself but actively using them seems like more trouble than it's worth

RTFM

Hello Linux community.

I'd like to take a moment to explain what I hope will be a simple concept (so really it's more of a reminder) that everyone should say least know and understand.

Not everyone (myself included) learns best by RTFM. Some of us need a guiding hand or to watch a video instead. It's not that we're lazy or don't like reading, it's just that it doesn't work efficiently enough.

in reply to Shayeta

"They". That's one sort of people who does RTFM the wrong way in my opinion. If I do RTFM, even for obvious simple ones, I most likely point to where to look at, ideally with a link. I do not RTFM literally, but saying there is some documentation and pointing to it usually. To me just saying RTFM (literally with this acronym) is rude, especially if someone already struggles and asks basic questions. Not everyone is "they".

Why Activists from 11 Countries Sailed to Cuba
The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please go to the original post.

After five days at sea, the Nuestra AmΓ©rica flotilla sailed into Havana harbor carrying 14 tons of humanitarian aid, including 73 solar panels, medicine, food, and hygiene supplies. The aid was delivered by 32 people from more than 11 countries.

They came from the United States, Brazil, Italy, Europe, and beyond. Some have been bringing aid to Cuba for years, stuffed into suitcases on solidarity brigades.

"My government is the one imposing these cruel sanctions and economic warfare on the Cuban people," said an activist from the United States. "And this has been happening for over 60 years."

β€œThe world owes Cuba,” said Thiago Ávila, a Brazilian activist. β€œCuban doctors were among the first to fight Ebola in Africa. They went to Italy during COVID-19. That's why Italians are on this boat.”

Cursed setup - Proxmox VE on a laptop, with KDE Plasma on top of it.
The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please go to the original post.

Proxmox is a virtualization platform based on Debian. It's not supposed to have a GUI, the management is either done via web UI or SSH.

But since it basically is just Debian with some more stuff, I installed Plasma on top of it.

It is also not supposed to use WiFi since that won't work with Linux bridges. But, after removing the adapter from /etc/network/interfaces (which gets automatically added any time I make a change through PVE web UI) and rebooting, I was able to make use of the adapter inside Plasma. And also create a bridge on proxmox, add IP to it, enable IP routing, and NAT everything coming from that subnet (used for VMs) through the WiFi adapter.

I just wish the noVNC could dynamically resize VM display like with VirtualBox after installing guest additions.

There is no use case. It can be done, that's it. I also tried to install Proxmox on my phone under Limbo PC emulator (QEMU-based), but I couldn't avoid random kernel panics during installation.

Also, Proxmox with 10GiB of available RAM (8+4, 2 for GPU), where the host uses up 3GiB is not really ideal. And on a weak dual-core CPU, on top of that.

Edit: But now I got an idea.
Now, there are issues. The simple solution will create multiple SSH connections that will never leave the laptop - that is - useless encryption, aside from other likely issues. The main thing is extremely easy set-up.
OK.
Thing 0: Exchange and authorize SSH keys between host and VMs.
Thing 1: Create another ext4 or whatever volume on LVM, and mount it on host (probably better to have VM with large disk - why should every VM have SSH access to host). This will be used for file sharing.
Thing 2: Mount it on all desired VMs using SSHFS.
Thing 3: Install waypipe (like ssh -X, but for Wayland) to VMs and host.
Thing 4: Create shortcuts on host desktop for desired GUI applications (which will run on VMs), prefixed by waypipe command. E.g.: waypipe -c none ssh user@debian-main.home.arpa firefox.

Waypipe works with vsock as well, which might be useful in this situation, but I have no idea how that's used, and if it is relevant here. Based on the man page, it does sound like it though.
But anyway, mostly just a concept.

[Question] (Wayland, KDE Plasma) How can I use another PC as a second monitor?

Idea


Primary laptop will run DE with 1 screen (its own).
Second laptop is to be used as a secondary (extended) monitor for primary laptop.
Both laptops will run Linux.

Tested solutions and their issues

krfb-virtualmonitor:


Creates virtual display and runs a VNC server, exactly as desired.
Issue: Slow as hell. FPS become SPF even on 0.3ms 1Gbps point-to-point connection.

KDE Connect virtual display


Creates virtual display and runs an RDP server, exactly as desired.
Issue(s): Really needs that high quality connection to run reasonably well. That isn't much of a problem, I can use a cable. The biggest problem is, no matter the settings, both with Remmina and KRDC the mouse pointer does not show up. Silly issue, but yeah.
Also, the Debian 13 KDE Connect package is too outdated to work with this, but I was able to use it in KDE Neon and Arch.

So, basically what I want exists, just with a major bug. Not seeing the mouse pointer is quite a problem.

Also, at first I hoped to use the already existing "network", my phone's hotspot. I can get 300Mbps and 3ms between phone and client. But between 2 clients? 400ms and with ping I see 1/3 of packets being duplicated.

Warning: (unpaid) ad incoming – I finally found a desktop environment I love!
The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please go to the original post.

I used to always bounce back and forth between Gnome, Plasma, Sway and Hyprland.
I love tiling compositors, but I also love having a fully functional desktop without stitching together two dozen different tools and configuring each separately. I got better things to do than edit text files for days.

And I think I found my holy grail: niri with Dank Material Shell.
DMS really is something else. A fully-fledged DE that sits on top of a tiling wayland compositor, with a workflow similar to Gnome and GUI customization options similar to Plasma.

I realize I'm shilling hard here, but I don't even know the guy who made it. I'm just genuinely floored by the project's quality.

Maybe. Its only hard dependency is quickshell, which seems to be available for FreeBSD: github.com/charlesrocket/quick…

It doesn't depend on systemd.
But I'd be very surprised if it works as intended out of the box without some fiddling.
In any case, you'd have to install it manually. The provided scripts are only for Linux.

Europe Is Sanctioning Critics of Israel and Militarism

Sanctions were once sold as a gentler foreign policy tool for exerting pressure on dictatorships and terrorist organizations. Yet measures like banning individuals from having bank accounts or traveling are increasingly used to chill free speech in Europe.

Doğru was editor in chief of the portal red., which specializes in anti-colonial perspectives. Red. has ceased operations due to the sanctions. Doğru’s case is unique because of the official reason for his punishment: his is the only entry in the sanctions regime RUSDA, which punishes alleged support for Russia, that refers to coverage of the Middle East conflict. Doğru, his company AFA Medya, and the website red. allegedly supported Russian attempts to β€œundermine or threaten stability and security in the [European] Union” by supporting β€œviolent demonstrations” and β€œsystematically spreading false information.” The EU accuses Doğru of maintaining β€œclose financial and organisational connections with Russian state propaganda entities.” The EU claims that Doğru β€œshares deep structural ties, including interlinkages between, and rotation of, individual personnel with Russian state media organisations.”

The allegedly β€œviolent” demonstration refers to the occupation of Humboldt University in Berlin by pro-Palestinian activists in 2024. Because Doğru reported on the occupation on his website, he is said to have created a platform for the β€œrioters” to spread the ideology and symbols of terrorist groups such as Hamas. Does reporting on protests against the German government or its allies constitute an exercise of a fundamental right in a democracy or political subversion on behalf of a hostile power? For the EU, it’s the latter.

In their latest version they have a custom tool that seems to largely be using bottles but like that literally just came out. Before that they were using play on linux and I think their custom tool uses it still to some degree. I really don't know much about their in house replacement and im still on their last version 17. They are made to be an easy to use out of the box distro so it was important to them folks could just right click and run windows programs.

Most distributions include Wine AFAICT yet I'd argue you shouldn't use Wine because typically it means using proprietary software.

If you are using Wine for games then it's also reconsider that there are plenty of open source game you can still pay for to support their author.

If you still want to play proprietary Windows games without native support then I would recommend to use a wrapper, e.g. Bottles (because of Proton, not because of the GUI) or even Steam (since you want to play proprietary Windows games anyway) as they'll remove a layer of tinkering to find the right version, path, etc.

... but yeah, even though Wine is amazing I would argue every time one uses it, if they are using Linux because they want more agency, they probably should reconsider and search for a free software alternative instead. It will be awkward at first, other UI, other UX, new community, but it's an investment in the future.

Recommend me a USB to SATA adapter that actually works on Linux

Title. I need a USB 3 to SATA adapter to use a spare 2.5" SSD with a machine that doesn't have any spare SATA ports and no place to put it at this point.

I've read that most of these adapters have issues with supporting TRIM on Linux. I need one that supports TRIM.

So any recommendations for something that will survive reboots which I'm planning to use for semi-permanent game storage?

An enclosure style is fine.

(Note: I too can search Amazon. When looking into the reviews from Linux users most of the adapters that claim to work with Linux have people clarifying TRIM doesn't work.)

Your post title and post body are asking for two different things πŸ˜› Tons of SATA to USB adapters and drive enclosures work well on Linux, that part isn't too difficult.

But what you probably want is one that has both UASP support and TRIM support for best SSD support. Here's the tricky part, even if the adapter or drive enclosure has TRIM support that doesn't mean it was auto enabled in the Linux system it was plugged into. Often times Linux can't tell if an adapter or drive enclosure has TRIM support so the safe thing to do is to not enable it by default. That means you can see the drive supports TRIM, hdparm says the drive supports TRIM, yet when you run fstrim it still complains that TRIM isn't supported.

Take a look at

wiki.archlinux.org/title/Solid…

and glump.net/howto/desktop/enable…

If you already have an external adapter or enclosure that claims TRIM support but it isn't working in Linux maybe try to enable TRIM and see how it goes?

For what it's worth I do have a drive enclosure, with ASMedia ASM1351 chipset, that claims TRIM and UASP support but by default fstrim still won't run TRIM on any drives inside it. If I get some free time maybe I'll see if I can get Debian to enable TRIM on the device just for testing but it could be a bit.

EDIT: Confirmed the instructions in archlinux seem to work and I was able to temporarily enable TRIM on my external drive enclosure to successfully run fstrim on an SSD inside it. I only did a quick test, setting provisioning_mode to "unmap" so it'll lose TRIM configuration once I disconnect the drive or restart the system. You'll probably want to go the extra step and set up udev rules to keep it enabled.

Tested on Debian with a Startech S251BMU313 (USB 3.1 enclosure for 2.5" SATA drives with ASMedia ASM1351 chipset). In theory the archlinux instructions should work with any external USB adapter or enclosure with TRIM support.

Also note the instructions are a bit confusing, I did notice that running sg_readcap immediately resets the configuration in provisioning_mode so in my case I had to avoid re-running sg_readcap after enabling "unmap".

EDIT2: Forgot one important tidbit πŸ˜› for whatever reason the actual echo "unmap" command in archlinux would not work for me, I think you may need to have root permissions to actually do that? Instead I ran this with my non-root admin user:

echo unmap | sudo tee /sys/block/sdX/device/scsi_disk/*/provisioning_mode

Replace sdX with the drive device you're working with. I'm not entirely sure why the above command works for me in Debian, and not the archlinux version, but figured I'd document it here just in case.

Unified push is great news in general for AOSP based ROMs phones for battery life, it's an open notification standard and system. There are several providers or distributors. If you're already using nextCloud with the unified push support on the server (murena has enabled this already because they want apps to consume less energy because of having to run in the background if not wanting to use the proprietary google services notifications) then you can use the unified push app already available on f-droid. If using conversations (xmpp client) it already supports working as an unified push provider and perhaps other xmmp clients already added such support and conversations is also available on f-droid. Or you can use the ntfy provided app also available on f-droid. There's an apps list available to find out if particular apps already support unified push, and as you can see fennec is one of them. BTW, if one doesn't want or need push notifications on fennec this can be disabled on its notifications settings, When installing an unified push notification provider, the apps supporting it will attempt to subscribe with a particular topic name on the provider, and usually the providers come with default settings to automatically accept subscriptions, and one can just check if the subscription is there already or not, one might need to stop and re-open the app for it to attempt to subscribe. Make sure the provider is running in the background without restrictions, I can tell conversations and ntfy are pretty low battery consumers so no worries about no restrictions on battery consumption.

Does that help? Otherwise I'm kind of lost with the questiosn.

#dnf5 offline reboot : the flawl... Boring Asahi upgrade from Fedora 42 to 43
In other non-news, I just "dnf5" updated my Asahi Linux install from Fedora 42 to 43. The only caveat I can provide is that this mac (m2 pro mbp) still runs un-updated from Sonoma 14-something, since I (quite) never use the Dark Side of this machine & never bothered to touch it. Having had to fiddle with a brand new such laptop recently, I can confirm that the more modern your apple device is, the greater the pain in your lower parts it is.
