At least 26 people have been killed, and scores have been injured, near a US-backed aid distribution site near Gaza's southern city of Rafah, according to medics and residents.
A local Palestinian journalist told the BBC that thousands of Palestinians had gathered near a humanitarian aid distribution centre when Israeli tanks approached and opened fire on the crowd.
The incident reportedly took place to the west of Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip, and the injured are being treated at one of Gaza’s few functioning hospitals in Khan Younis.

I got that, you started your comments in direct reference to OP's post. I just figured, since people replied to you with comments about the Guardian (which has since revised their headline 3 times btw) you might want to know where that was coming from.
The BBC headline right now is even worse: "Israel denies firing at civilians after Hamas-run ministry says 31 killed in Gaza side centre attack." I'm typing it out myself because it keeps changing every update.

It was taken over buy something called "Muse group".
They added telemetry, which is actually illegal in EU, unless you warn about it, and then it can only be used if you are over 18.
I think that also makes it against to the GPL license.
Then they pulled back, but later tried to do it partially or something I don't recall.
Clearly Muse Group was a bad fit for a GPL open source project.
hackaday.com/2021/05/17/teleme…
Edit PS:
From their homepage:
audacityteam.org/
I can see that the audacious project remain under Muse Group control. I would look for something else.
Muse group changed the contributor license to take control away from the community, and give it only to themselves.
techradar.com/news/audacity-al…
Later, Muse Group ruffled feathers with a new Contributor License Agreement (CLA) for Audacity, which contributors were required to sign if they wanted to continue to work on the project. This new agreement also stipulated that Muse Group must be given unrestricted rights to all contributions.
The ONLY reason to do this, is if you plan to use the code in a non GPL compliant context.

Japan is supporting its companies to grow their business in Africa and develop trade ties across a continent where it’s mainly been seen as a key donor.
The second-biggest Asian economy’s emergence from a three-decade period of deflation has boosted its private sector’s risk appetite, Takehiko Matsuo, vice-minister for International Affairs at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said in Abidjan, the commercial hub of Ivory Coast.
The country aims to do more business with Africa as it emerges from years during which its private sector was particularly risk-averse.Yinka Ibukun (The Japan Times)
But if China has been long since investing and developing trade ties throughout Africa, isn’t it just reliance on China by proxy?
As a side note, 100% understand it’s a big, diverse continent.
But here’s where Debian gets tripped up by the ecosystem: the moment you hit a login prompt, you enter a session with user-locked audio. This isn’t Debian’s fault. It’s the fault of PulseAudio, PipeWire, and the entire philosophy of session-bound audio daemons that don’t care what the kernel is doing.
It's worth noting that PipeWire is being developed with support for a system-wide, multi-user instance, which should solve the problem that I think the author is describing above. When I last checked a couple years ago, it was enabled with this build option: -Dsystemd-system-service=enabled
The name of that flag seems to imply that systemd is required, which would be disappointing for folks who use other init systems. I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it's a true requirement or just a name that was convenient at the time it was created.

Fight against the fictional religions that support parents beating their children.
You want to send in a SEAL team? Give me a break. Everyone in every muslim country lives a shitty hellscape of religious torture every single day. Especially women. Maybe start talking to muslim women about supporting a religion designed to turn them into slaves with no rights.
This plight is shared by hundreds of millions of islamic women slaves. Yet, the problem cannot be solved if those women still support the religion that is enslaving them. There are plenty of women supporting the religions that harm them, for many different reasons.
It's no different with any other religion. In the US, there are plenty of women supporting taking away women's medical rights. Why? Only because of religion. No other reason.
OpenAI's o3 just uncovered a remote 0-day in the Linux kernel's SMB code—CVE-2025-37899. A patch has already been rolled out.Bobby Borisov (Linuxiac)
Maybe I misunderstood but the vulnerability was unknown to them but the class of vulnerability, let's say "bugs like that", are well known and published by the security community, aren't there?
My point being that if it's previously unknown and reproducible (not just "luck") is major, if it's well known in other projects, even though unknown to this specific user, then it's unsurprising.
Edit: I'm not a security researcher but I believe there are already a lot of tools doing static and dynamic analysis. IMHO It'd be helpful to know how those perform already versus LLMs used here, namely across which dimensions (reliability, speed, coverage e.g. exotic programming languages, accuracy of reporting e.g. hallucinations, etc) is each solution better or worst than the other. I'm always wary of "ex nihilo" demonstrations. Apologies if there is benchmark against existing tools and if I missed that.

A growing number of incels are NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training). That should concern us all.Jennifer Ouellette (Ars Technica)
The prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) truthfully described the problem of inceldom:
“There are incels who were born that way, and there are incels who have been made incels by others—and there are those who choose to live like incels for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.” Jesus identifies three types of “incels” here: natural incels (“born that way”), forced incels (“made incels by others”), and voluntary incels (“those who choose”).
Truecels, or the truest incels, are born with facial deformities such as lopsided faces or eyes that are too close together or too far apart... but most incels today have been created by man. It's just not possible to buy a house and have 3-4 children anymore, and most women aren't interested in it. If you're a man in your 20s and you've got good income from a job, and cheap rent somehow, then you'll likely have to wait until your mid-thirties until all the women have got the careers and promotions that they want. Then they will "settle".
It's almost as if our society is designed to create more incels. Personally I am a volcel. Society is a cruel joke and I'd rather become an orthodox priest, than work 12 hours a day in a busy warehouse, driving forklifts or carrying timber. Sometimes I question why I bother contributing to society.
Fuck jesus, and fuck you for following that fictional loser.
"Jesus identifies three types of “incels” here: natural incels (“born that way”), forced incels (“made incels by others”), and voluntary incels (“those who choose”)."
That's not a thing. You're just full of shit. You can't even tell reality from this bullshit religious fiction.
That's why you're a voluntary celibate. Your religion talked you into devoting your life to them. Which makes you a giant fucking loser. Because everything you dedicated your life to is just stupid religious hate fiction.
Incels are a product of the Internet. Before that, we had winners and losers, and most losers weren't that way on purpose.

Hey hey, I have been using Sound Juicer on my Ubuntu 24 / KDE 5 PC and it works, but it doesn't handle the tags for my MP3 files very nicely. I've also used abcde, at the terminal, and that can be better but it takes a lot finessing at the CLI to get the result I want.
Is there a better CD ripper application that will run on Ubuntu and can make setting the MP3 tags dead simple?
Thanks for any ideas!
Edit: Fixed a typo
ETA: Asunder looks good, does what I need and works well on my PC. Thanks for everyone's ideas and help!
Looking up Picard's instructions... They recommend whipper, as others have done in the thread.
It can do the tagging for you, but it's important to note that music CDs do not contain metadata.
All the rippers that exist, look up what the CD is online, based on stuff like number of tracks, their lengths, and order. iTunes was the ripping software everyone used back in the day, because Apple made and maintained the first extensive database that could be used to automatically tag ripped music.
Modern rippers typically rely on MusicBrainz (like Picard).
As such there is no 100% reliable auto-tagging ripper, because a disc might match more than one album, or not be in the database. Such cases will always require manual intervention.

Being limited isn't that big a deal. My instance has them limited because of their lax moderation and an excess of reply guys. All it means is that I get a notification saying "Someone you might know sent you a notification" and I get to review and accept or deny the notification depending. Plus they have to request permission to follow me so I get to check them out before accepting.
I still have tons of mutuals on .social and I get new ones all the time. While each person making the choice about whether to accept notifications or follows from a particular user is going to make their own choices, I don't think it's particularly inconvenient.

For their lack of adequate moderation capacity / interest, .social has one topic they tend to over-react to. AfD sympathizing isn't that one thing. Not to suggest they're right here. I'd need the thread context and a better understanding of German to weigh in on that. Moderators are human and they're going to make a bad call eventually. I'm not in a position to guess whether they made a bad call here. AfD aren't just some normal political party, though.

Hello everyone,
I wanted to ask if anyone has a preferred software for the purpose of creative writing.
Libre Office Writer is great of course, but just as software like LogSeq or Obsidian exist for the note taking process, I was wondering if there is anything that is specifically geared toward the creative writing process.
I know that there are federated blog platforms which focus on this in their presentation, but was curious about applications specifically.
FOSS is definitely preferable.
Thanks!
Huh? What's wrong with Overleaf?
If you "only" need beautiful PDF and it doesn't have to be online, you can also use Typst with vscode and tinymist as editor locally. Not as powerful as TeX, but I know few people for use TeX even remotely to its fullest. The upside of Typst is, that the "core" syntax for content writing is very markdown-like, so you can focus on writing instead of the underlying language.
A web-based collaborative LaTeX editor. Contribute to overleaf/overleaf development by creating an account on GitHub.GitHub
Holy shit, thank you! I had no idea overleaf was open source; you have cleared my conscience. Typst seems interesting, but I am a bit of a typesetting nerd and quite used to latex anyway. Transition now would be difficult. I'll check it out though, it might be nice for drafts and such. Thanks again!
I'm definitely going to share Typst with non-tex-addicts though, it does seem really cool.
when I say trim I don't mean to time trim a file, like getting rid of the last 2 minutes of the mkv file, but to picture trim every frame of the mkv file to get rid of black margins to both left and right of the actual image.
Files were originally recorded on 4:3 aspect ratio (some are movies from the 1950's) but the encoder somehow created / copied huge black margins to both left and right of the actual image. I want to get rid of these.
Some of my files are 30 minutes long but others 2 hours.

Setting up a secure coding environment for the Rust programming language on secureblue isn't hard to do, but it's difficult to figure out on your own. That is why I am making a guide explaining how to do it yourself.
For this tutorial, I will be using the silverblue-main-hardened:latest image of secureblue. For this tutorial, I am also assuming you have enabled Flatpak permission lockdown by running ujust flatpak-permissions-lockdown.
You can install whichever code editor you want, but for this tutorial I will be using VSCodium which is an open source binary of Microsoft's Visual Studio Code without telemetry.
Open the terminal.
VScodium can be installed using the following command:
flatpak install com.vscodium.codiumYou will be prompted to proceed with changes to the user installation. After reviewing the changes, you can press enter. VSCodium will be downloaded and installed for the current user.
You may close the terminal now.
VSCodium. This should begin typing in a search bar, and VSCodium should show up as a search result.
VSCodium (the blue one). VSCodium - Insiders (the orange one) is the nightly release of VSCodium, and is not recommended for daily use.
Install button on the top right. VSCodium will be downloaded and installed for the current user.You may close GNOME Software now.
Rust provides multiple ways of installing. On secureblue, things are more locked down, especially with VSCodium being installed as a Flatpak. Rather than layering Rust as a system package and giving VSCodium invasive permissions to make it work, there is a much more elegant way to install Rust that isn't mentioned in their install instructions.
Flathub provides an SDK Extension for Rust that can be used for Flatpak code editors, such as VSCodium. This can only be installed from the command line. Trying to install it from GNOME Software will install an outdated version of the Rust SDK.
Open the terminal.
First, we need to find the branch of org.freedesktop.Sdk. This will allow us to install the correct version of the Rust SDK.
The branch of org.freedesktop.Sdk can be found using the following command:
flatpak info org.freedesktop.Sdk
Make a note of the version number next to the Branch: section. In my case, it is 24.08.
The Rust SDK can be installed using the following command:
flatpak install org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.rust-stable
You will be prompted to select which ref you would like to install. Find the version that matches the branch of org.freedesktop.Sdk. Type the number corresponding with the version (in my case, 5), and press enter.
You will be prompted to proceed with changes to the user installation. After reviewing the changes, you can press enter. The Rust SDK will be downloaded and installed for the current user.
You may close the terminal now.
Assuming you enabled Flatpak permission lockdown, VSCodium won't have permission to access everything it needs to work properly. We need to grant these permissions manually.
We will need to create a directory to act as your project directory. VSCodium will have access to every file in this directory, so it is best to only use it for VSCodium. I am deciding to create a folder in my home directory named VSCodium to store all of my VSCodium projects.
VSCodium will need the following permissions to work:
- The Network permission, in order to efficiently install extensions and update them automatically.
- Access to a dedicated project directory, in order to create workspaces.
- Permission to access the Rust SDK, in order to support the Rust language.
- Optional access to Development syscalls, in order to use debugging extensions.
Open the terminal.
VScodium can be granted the Network permission using the following command:
flatpak override -u --share=network com.vscodium.codium-u flag is an alias for --user, which will change the permission only for the current user.[INSERT IMAGE HERE]
A project directory can be created using the following command:
mkdir VSCodiumVSCodium can be granted access to the project directory using the following command:
flatpak override -u --filesystem=~/VSCodium com.vscodium.codiumVScodium can be granted access to the Rust SDK using the following command:
flatpak override -u --env=FLATPAK_ENABLE_SDK_EXT=rust-stable com.vscodium.codiumYou may close the terminal now.

Right now, there are no debugging extensions installed. The two recommended debugging extensions are CodeLLDB and Native Debug. I prefer CodeLLDB because, as of writing this, Native Debug has not been updated in over a year. It is still in active development, but there has not been a release in over a year.
Open VSCodium.
[INSERT IMAGE HERE]
Launch the VSCodium Quick Open by using Ctrl+P.
[INSERT IMAGE HERE]

If you try to debug a program using a debugger extension, you will receive the following error:
VSCodium
Cannot launch '/var/home/anonymous/VSCodium/example/target/debug/example': ptrace failed: Operation not permittedThe reason for this is because VSCodium does not have permission to access development syscalls.
Open the terminal.
VScodium can be granted the Development syscalls permission using the following command:
flatpak override -u --allow=devel com.vscodium.codiumYou may close the terminal now.

You may close Flatseal now.
Even though VSCodium has access to ptrace, the system still does not permit it. This is to defend against basic security concerns. secureblue provides a toggle to enable support for anti-cheat, which will allow VSCodium to access ptrace.
Open the terminal.
Anti-cheat support can be enabled using one of the following commands:

rustup requires granting VSCodium more invasive permissions to get it to work. Furthermore, installing it would require layering system packages, which should be done sparingly. Using the Rust SDK is the recommended approach by VSCodium while using their Flatpak, and it is actually the simpler option.

Things like don’t shake a baby (babies love to be bounced and rocked, which are honestly just gentle shaking, but even moderately vigorous shaking can seriously injure or kill an infant and you should never shake a baby in anger or anything like that) or don’t take anything with you when exiting a building when a fire alarm goes off (don’t go looking for things, but you should still put your coat on if it’s next to you and it’s cold out).

Yes, it's true the children shouldn't be engaging in sex acts, and the details of adult sexual behavior should be kept from them, since they're not equipped to understand, e.g. BDSM and power play, yet. But if kids see a pair of boobs, if kids see naked people, or even if kids know the basic functions of body parts, they'll be fine. Lots of kids throughout human history lived in small dwellings and heard, or even saw, parents and other members of their community having sex, and they all survived the experience.
Communicable disease? Now there's something that we should be protecting children from...

Hi, I've been thinking about switching from Win11 to Linux Mint due to Microsoft collecting lots of data. My current setup has been cobbled together over the past decade and consists of a C drive NvME, 1 old SATA SSD, and 2 HDDs. I have games installed across all of the non-C drives, some from steam some not.
Windows tells me each drive by letter. I installed Mint on a virtual machine to get a look, but it couldn't read any of my files. I don't want to wipe my C drive without knowing that at least the other drives will be readable if I make the switch.
How does Linux account multiple hard drives? I'm so used to how Windows does it that I'm worried about switching over and losing access to my other drives. Thanks!
Linux doesn't do the drive letter thing. Instead, you have to identify the disks by their partition IDs.
When you install your OS, you'll be able to mount the disks to wherever you like. If you want, you can create directories in /mnt, like /mnt/e, /mnt/f etc.
The main issue you'll run into is disk format. NTFS will work, but its poorly supported.
To get a better idea of how it works, try passing a USB disk into the VM you've created.

Those are all good points though I disagree a bit with the brown coats/confederates but I get what you mean.
I think I'll let that show sit in my memory as it is. Without rewatching any of it I can definitely see the issues. Especially Jayne thinking more on it
I want to have a mirror of my local music collection on my server, and a script that periodically
updates the server to, well, mirror my local collection.
But crucially, I want to convert
all lossless files to lossy, preferably before uploading them.
That's the one reason why I can't just use git - or so I believe.
I also want locally deleted files to be deleted on the server.
Sometimes I even move files around (I believe in directory structure) and again,
git deals with this perfectly. If it weren't for the lossless-to-lossy caveat.
It would be perfect if my script could recognize that just like git does, instead of deleting and reuploading the
same file to a different location.
My head is spinning round and round and before I continue messing around with find
and scp it's time to ask the community.
I am writing in bash but if some python module could help with it I'm sure I could
find my way around it.
TIA
additional info:
xonsh or python with sh.py.
Very interesting!
And thanks for the coding tips. It seems git is not the best option here because it keeps a full history of all files in their fullness - a gigantic waste of space in the case of a media collection.
I am now thinking more rsync minus lossless formats, then deal with lossless formats separately.
you know, you could also either include a lossy copy next to the lossless ones, then rsync only lossy extensions, or, if that pollutes your collection, have a separate but identically-structured directory tree, where all your lossless files have lossy copies. Then, you can rsync both folders (send-only) to your single remote (lossy extensions only).
but, yeah, Git really isn't the tool for this, agreed.

Eta: ohhhhh it's this mofo. Let it go, CraigOhMyEggo. We get it. You're a serial Leni defender. But no, and I can't say this loudly and hard enough, getting 8 upvotes on a joke subreddit doesn't show that the whole of the fediverse is wrong for telling Leni to fuck off. And even if somehow this was a good way to make that point, in some crazy universe, the fediverse doesn't hinge on reddit's opinion of anything. Most fediverse folks don't give a shit about redditor's opinion. Or we would be on reddit.
This is a really pathetic attempt to revive the argument for Leni. You need to move on with your life.
I love popcorn as much as anybody, so normally I'd launch into a retelling of the whole sordid tale, but the problem with this drama is that it's not fun to read. Because the CallMeLeni person, and also the one who was leading the crusade against them, can't write.
That's not like, a cute joke. I've never, in my long and storied life, seen people who have such poor writing skills. Many times, people have commented to tell these folks that their writing is unreadable, and every time, the response is either to defend it, or to get weirdly specific about the complaints being made.
So instead of bothering with the whole thing, I found the post where I first read CallMeLeni posting something, and I'm linking it here. I didn't bother carrying over the links they put in the comment. And I'm going to paste a quote, so you can see why I don't recommend going for it. I can't warn you enough that this isn't worth your time.

The implication here is false, at least by my definition of the word “false”, and he even alluded to that after it began to be discussed elaborately, albeit before using an appeal to the masses (story of my life) and say “most people seem to understand”, which ignores consensus of me and the aforementioned Blaze (as much as the “the truth we all wanted to speak” remark ignores not everyone had that issue). Notice how I responded with “I can spot rules broken by the other person’s thread more easily than I can spot rules broken by mine” and got only thumbs down for it and no responses, yet when I actually dissected the rules piece by piece in front of him to point out that any rule I supposedly broke wasn’t there, which even the person who recommended I make the discussion in the first place (the aforementioned Blaze) agreed was a “fair point to be honest”, the mod then delved into the concept of “unspoken rules” as an excuse for himself and said he didn’t want to “rules-lawyer”, which not only disproves what he said about “specific posting guidelines” being “in the sidebar” that supposedly explained what I did wrong, but proved a point I commonly mention about people in different places including here always being uncritical and unwilling to see things for themselves and just taking peoples’ word for things (and about that, to respond to Cypher’s last reply, intellectual =/= intelligent). A part of that is it also suggests, by extension, that the quantity of thumbs down you garner is unreliable as consistently meaning anything, unless the rule is actually to apply gladiator logic and say a thumbs down signals mercy, as indicated by the very Roman-esque culture around here. I guess all this time, I was being praised and didn’t realize it?

Neverball.
So gaming on Linux is obviously amazing now, but back in 2006 or so when I started using it, it was less than great. I probably tried every single game in the Ubuntu repos and Neverball entertained the hell out of me.
I spent hours rolling this shiny ball around. I loved Marble Madness on NES as a kid, so it was a natural fit.
A close second was Freeciv, as I had also grown up with a copy of Civilization.

No. It can't. And you're actively hurting your efforts by attaching high school edgelord bullshit to it.
Corruption has been a serious problem everywhere, forever, and does not care one bit what words the ruling party uses to express themselves. None of what is happening right now is restricted to nations which call themselves capitalist.
I mean, yes and no.
You know how when you look up at a nights sky, and the whole sky is covered in a series of rotating popup ads, with the stars as their backdrop?
What do you mean NO??? When you use your telescope to try to look at space, and all you see is a facebook ad, a mcdonalds ad, a starbucks ad, an ad for a local lawyer, you know.....space ads. We've all seen them. Just ads floating in space, illuminating the night sky.
Oh, my mistake. This is 2025. That's commonplace in 2125. See, the technology to impose global space ads isn't a thing yet.
The thing about technology is, there's always somebody looking to profit off of every new technology. The technology behind space ads is actually used to show important global events, like what the global dictator does everyday. Oh, right. In 2125 there's a global dictator who rules the entire planet through oppression and slavery. So, not much different than 2025, besides even the illusion of freedom is gone.
The point is, you don't have the technology to put ads in the sky, and therefore the advertising industry can't yet be blamed. But once it exists, they will.
It really is a chicken or the egg situation.
Sky ad technology can be developed out of the good of someone's heart. Maybe to show emergency alerts quickly. Disaster warnings. But then, it gets in the wrong hands.
We could say similar stuff about the internet. I don't think Tim Berner's Lee had bad intentions when founding the World Wide Web. It's a double edged sword. Same has happened with a lot. I even believe that God's sacrifice on the cross- an act of perfect love for all humanity- has been misused to control, manipulate and abuse. The guy who created dynamite wanted it to be used for safer mining practices, not a weapon. Many things we make as humans seems to be invented for good, but used for evil
Internet advertising wasn't initially that bad either. People would pay to have a button for their site to appear on another page. Or a video to play on a streaming site. Then someone thinks "let's actually make more relevant ads appear. This video is about videogames, let's show a videogame ad." Then: "We can see what videos this user likes, so we can get an idea that they like videogames, so let's show them videogame ads, even on other videos". And it eventually morphed into "We can see this user visited this videogame shop 1 month ago thanks to our other maps service. Let's show them adverts for that shop's sale". It's just crazy.

If CDPR hadn't forced the team to crunch to get the game running at all on PlayStation, it probably would have been much more polished on release. A lot of the bugs you see in YouTube glitch compilations were due to this over-optimization (like NPCs vanishing or changing models when you looked away for a second).
I wonder how much better the game and its reception would have been if they'd dropped the last-gen console support during development. Those were the truly awful versions; the PC version was about even with Bethesda's launch day jank.
I also wish they'd properly managed expectations. The PC release was buggy and missing promised features, yes, but a lot of the hate came from it being a game with an open-world city with guns and driving but not mimicking GTA's systems.

Some people complain very loudly. It’s possible most of us actually had no problems & said nothing, leaving only the scorned to be heard.

Could you remind me what features people were upset about? I stayed away from most of the drama since CDPR has a long history of releasing a free major upgrade a year or two after release that fixes everything people complained about.
I remember the dev diaries being pretty open about dropping features during development, like the RC drone turning from a staple of your kit into something shown off once in a mission and immediately forgotten.

And yes, most users don't have this kind of experience, granted. But Plex comes with its own stupidities, like in 2020 when my wife had to pay $5 for the Plex app so she could access our library. Or the exercise of sharing libraries if you don't have a Plex pass, which is a real pain.
But that wasn't my point. I was trying to relay that jellyfin isn't as buggy and difficult as a lot of self hosters claim.

Jellyfin is hardly a no-brainer. I set it up out of curiosity a few weeks ago and my first question was how do I give access to my friends and family.

Hi guys!
So...I bought a Latitude 7350 detachable laptop, as a replacement for a Surface where the cams don't work on Linux. This laptop seemed rather powerful and compatible, while still keeping the weight constrained (something the Minisforum V3 isn't as successful in). Also,
I prefer the rear being a stand thingy like on the Surface, and not some detachable flap you need to turn about 150 degrees to turn it into a mandatory stand (because when closed...it blocks the intake fans).
Anyway...Seems that while the camera module IPU6 is meant to be supported on Linux...I don't seem to be able to get any image. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
I installed KDE Neon (I'd prefer a KDE-based distro) and installed intel-ipu6-dkms and intel-usbio-dkms. But the camera doesn't seem to work. Any ideas how could I troubleshoot this?
A database of all the hardware that works under linuxlinux-hardware.org
The important part is the hardware id of the camera, you have to search for this, drivers and kernel modules use this number to check if they are needed: 8086:7d19
I found a documented laptop with this camera: wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dell_…
They link to some patches there, it may work with that
As I see the date of the patch is this year March, I guess simply the laptop is too new. If you don't want to fiddle, just switch to some rolling release distro, and the patches will be merged upstream soon. After a kernel update your camera will magically start working. This would be the easiest solution if you can live some more months without the camera.
file title is an option present on mkvtoolnix (92.0 eyeglow on debian 12.11)
I could single open every file, remove the file title and save, but that's gonna take ages. almost 100 files.
Current directory and all its subdirectories - to be exact 😀
You can execute the find command only (with arguments, so until the pipe) to verify modified files beforehand.
I also would use Clonezilla and make a backup of your current drive. Easy to do, and gives you a backup you can restore anywhere including a virtual machine, meaning you can have windows back inside of Linux if you forgot anything.
Or you can restore the drive if you accidentally corrupt it.
New to Linux and no clue what to start with? Try Mint. https://www.linuxmint.com/If you prefer a specific desktop environment or specific features out of the...YouTube
I'm good. But thank you for the tip.
Just posted the video, because I like that she's quite balanced in her views. The subject matter will always trigger a level of controversy, esp. on lemmy. But the advice is pretty solid.
And if Mint isn't the answer, go with Ubuntu. Or Zorin OS. Or PopOS. All of them are "right" and provide excellent beginner experiences for many people.
Is this a decent OS to move users off Win too that I won't have to do a lot of remote maintenance on? I have a few varied OS's installed on machines around and Cinnamon I have found to look/feel a lot like Windows 7 which would benefit the learning curve for family/friends looking or needing to find an OS to install on a machine that isn't newer.
Curious if anyone has used this, and if so if it is a good fit for those 60+ aged family members and such. They have all used Windows for work at least a decent amount, so keeping things similar is always good. A decent App Store would be nice though. I hated the default store in Pop_OS.
If I could say do updates and reboot every once in awhile and you should be fine it'd be great. Remoting in with RustDesk and hitting App Update/Upgrade being all that is needed also would be great, but you know how that goes. Someone will break something, and I just want something intuitive enough that they won't do it often.

Im currently trying to get my Keyboards software to work on linux, but since that won‘t be a thing, like ever, im trying to Reverse engineer the software in order to copy the get and set requests the Software sends over USB and send them over a Python Script using libUSB, so I can control it independent of OS
So I set up my Wireshark with a USB snooper and started using the software
Only problem: Since I have no idea how a Keyboard usually communicates, so I have no idea what to look for. Can someone recommend me some already reverse engeneered FOSS Keyboard software as an example? (Like the wooting software, if its even OSS)
Unless the vendor is rolling something super custom, for the communication TO the keyboard, it should use USB HID.
Start Wireshark, filter for hid, connect the KB and the first message should be a HID descriptor of the KB, look for Output Reports (it's meant from the POV of the usb master) or Feature Reports.
Though, this will probably not yield much insight - vendors love to do the easy thing, reserve opaque 32x8 bytes as a "downlink" Output communication in the Vendor Usage Page and stuff their own protocol/encoding in there.
On linux I can recommend hid-tools for working with this, in windows I believe your only solution is Wireshark.

I learned the USB protocol from this (the relevant parts I needed). We’re thinking of including some basic understanding of the USB protocol in the slides.
beyondlogic.org/usbnutshell/us…
I got an idea of what could be going on from the following link, specifically the section I’ve set.
github.com/openrazer/openrazer…
I deciphered the protocol using the USBHID packets that would be sent. I was highly sure it was USBHID from a pointer from another Linux community member, but this article was my third source to confirming this.
hackaday.com/2020/04/14/revers…
One of the sources for information to develop these procedures was from the openRGB wiki.
This stream has to do with reversing using URB. I find this might be out of scope, and it would’ve been way tougher to reverse engineer with this.
Feel free to ask as needed here. Spam the requests on the software while monitoring wireshark to be sure of what is what.
The other large comment by “taaz” is also very useful and parts of which I did use while reverse engineering.

Hey guys, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this (feel free to point me to a better community) but I'm in a weird "predicament" this summer: My AMD build plans are in shambles after receiving a free ROG Astral 5080.
Now I want to make the switch now with my current (Intel i7-13700K) hardware + this new card. I was only considering AMD before but it's really hard to say no to a video card worth more than my entire budget lol
The slightly worse performance compared to Windows is still an upgrade from my 3070 so that's fine - It's initial/recurring troubleshooting I don't really want to deal with. Most of the info I've found is from earlier this year and no one speaks highly of the beta drivers
Sorry if this is a stupid question but am I setting myself up for disappointment with this new plan? I have a few more related questions I'll toss in the comments but that's my main concern.
It's a Linux distro made specifically with gaming on Nvidia GPUs in mind. It's basically Arch, but GPU drivers are included with the installation, and Steam, Proton, and Wayland are already installed and configured for you.
Great performance and perfect for people who don't want to set up all this stuff themselves, but like I said earlier, no NV Control Panel or NV App.
It also comes with a "Dr460nized" theme that you may or may not like. It reeks of early 2000s adolescence, but I was a teenager in that era so I kind of like it. Of course you can easily disable it and use a more mature theme if you'd like.

I want to dual boot windows and linux
I just want a safe place away from microsoft eyes to do edit and drawing and other hobbies on my pc.
And playing some games like cs2 & 2d games
Also the distro run my wallpaper engine
Should be popular distro so if i have a problem i can ask about it
Please dont tell me linux mint because i tried it 3 times and everytime i do anything simple the distro goes off and i should re install i won't give it anymore chances
thank you 😖

Not to get into politics but the whole point of Linux is about being open and used by anyone from anywhere. I wouldn’t be surprised to see various parts of the Linux kernel, drivers, etc developed/funded by people from Israel, Russia, and many many other countries.
Edit: the point of this message, this type of approach to your OS choice will ultimately result in throwing your PC in the trash if you dig deep enough.
There is a vast difference between a community driven project like Debian taking small contributions from people who happen to be in Israel/incorporating some things from RedHat after lots of vetting and diluting and Fedora being a direct upstream testing ground for RedHat who are the primary contributors and maintainers.
No, this type of approach will not lead to you throwing your PC in the trash, it will simply lead to you being more aware of your software and how it functions,what it contributes to, and what contributes to it. Which is a good thing imo.
For example, I use LMDE. Yes, there are most definitely contributions from redhat in my machine. the difference is between
RedHat engineers -> Fedora.
And
RedHat engineers -> Fedora -> Upstream Project acceptance-> Debian -> LMDE.
I'm not saying you need to stop using Fedora. But everyone draws a line somewhere and I'm simply making my knowledge on this known for people who's line may be in a similar place to mine.
Yeah, I'm not sure too many mitigations have been backported.
But the attack surface might also be smaller due to simpler pipelines...
Regardless, I'm too much of a perf junkie to give up my modern hardware.

try using this code do you think it will work?Below is a minimal example of how you can add a real‐time chat box that only your authenticated users can use. It uses:
- Node.js + Express for the web server
- express‐session to track logged-in users
- Socket.io for real-time messaging
You’ll need to adapt the authentication check to however you store your users (database, JWTs, etc.), but this will give you the core of “only logged‐in folks see/use the chat.”

const express = require('express'); const http = require('http'); const session = require('express-session'); const SocketIO = require('socket.io'); const app = express(); const server = http.createServer(app); const io = new SocketIO(server); // 1) Session middleware const sessionMiddleware = session({ secret: 'YOUR_SESSION_SECRET', resave: false, saveUninitialized: false, // store: you can add a store like connect-mongo here }); app.use(sessionMiddleware); // 2) Make session available in socket.handshake io.use((socket, next) => { sessionMiddleware(socket.request, socket.request.res || {}, next); }); // Serve static files (our chat page + JS) app.use(express.static('public')); // 3) A simple “login” route for demo purposes. // In real life you’d check a DB, hash passwords, etc. app.get('/login', (req, res) => { // e.g. ?user=alice const username = req.query.user; if (!username) return res.sendStatus(400); req.session.user = { name: username }; res.redirect('/chat.html'); }); // 4) Protect chat page app.get('/chat.html', (req, res, next) => { if (!req.session.user) return res.redirect('/login.html'); next(); }); // 5) Handle socket connections io.on('connection', socket => { const req = socket.request; if (!req.session.user) { // kick out any un‐authenticated socket return socket.disconnect(true); } const user = req.session.user.name; socket.broadcast.emit('message', { from: 'SYSTEM', text: `${user} has joined the chat` }); socket.on('message', msg => { io.emit('message', { from: user, text: msg }); }); socket.on('disconnect', () => { socket.broadcast.emit('message', { from: 'SYSTEM', text: `${user} has left the chat` }); }); }); server.listen(3000, () => { console.log('Listening on http://localhost:3000/'); });3. public/chat.html
```html
> Send>
> const socket = io(); > > const form = document.getElementById('form'); > const input = document.getElementById('input'); > const messages = document.getElementById('messages'); > > socket.on('message', msg => { > const li = document.createElement('li'); > li.textContent = `${msg.from}: ${msg.text}`; > messages.appendChild(li); > messages.scrollTop = messages.scrollHeight; > }); > > form.addEventListener('submit', e => { > e.preventDefault(); > if (input.value.trim()) { > socket.emit('message', input.value); > input.value = ''; > } > }); >
```4. How It Works
- Session setup
We useexpress-sessionso that when a user “logs in” (e.g. via your existing form/database), we store{ user: { name: '…' } }inreq.session.- Socket authentication
By re-using the same session middleware in Socket.io’sio.use(…), every incoming socket has access tosocket.request.session. If there’s nosession.user, we immediatelydisconnect()them.- Real-time chat
- On connect/disconnect we broadcast a system message.
- On client‐side, every message the user sends is emitted and broadcast to all.
- Protecting the page
We guardchat.htmlin Express so that if you go there directly, you’ll get bounced to/login.html(you’d build a real login page).Next Steps
- Integrate with your real user database. Replace the demo
/loginroute with your own logic.- Persist chat history if you want to store messages (e.g. in MongoDB or MySQL).
- Add rooms or private messaging by namespace or room support in Socket.io.
- Style it and embed it in your existing layout (lemm.ee) CSS.

I don't know of a specific theme in the neubrutalism/neobrutalism style (names that are generally used to describe this style or aesthetic), but it shouldn't be too hard to make.
For anyone unfamiliar it's generally defined by flat, blocky layouts, with thick borders, single color drop shadows and a few bold high contrast colors (think CGA and EGA monitors if you're that old). It often features “unpolished” elements like flat simple shapes. Bold fonts and monospace fonts are pretty common.
There are a few resources out there if anyone wants to play around with this style.

I have a pretty old laptop with an AMD dGPU and I am trying to do OpenCL compute on it to make sure that device switching is handled correctly in some stuff I am testing. All the instructions I see to install amdgpu drivers is to have --no-dkms as an install flag.

popos has their own thing that will conflict with dkms
So you obviously need to manually configure that own thing to build the driver instead of relying on the installer.
I haven't found any documentation on this except "don't do it lol". Which is why I'm confused. How?
Edit: finding more info and discovering that people didn't have bricked systems after using dkms which leads me to assume that later versions of popos do not have the issue that people were trying to avoid.
I'm on Bazzite Linux 42 and was having some trouble with my 2.4GHz wireless keyboard disconnecting, so I decided to replace it. The new one is having similar issues despite being a different brand (new: XVX, old: Royal Kludge), so I suspect the culprit may actually have been software all along. I have a 2.4GHz wireless mouse connected to the same system that is generally reliable, so I don't believe it's an issue of 2.4GHz interference. The keyboards work well when connected to my Mac, so I don't believe it's faulty hardware.
This keyboard has one feature that may be helpful in troubleshooting: it flashes an LED when it’s trying to reconnect. (The previous one had no indicator.) I can clearly see that, after the keyboard has been idle for a bit, it starts trying to reconnect again. I suspected a power management issue, but I believe I’ve disabled that. I started with a rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="1038", ATTR{idProduct}=="1830", TEST=="power/control", ATTR{power/control}="on"
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0c45", ATTR{idProduct}=="fefe", TEST=="power/control", ATTR{power/control}="on"lsusb. I’m assuming the part of the ID before the colon is the vendor ID and the part after is the product ID.That didn’t seem to help at all, so I tried disabling USB power management with rpm-ostree kargs --append-if-missing="usbcore.autosuspend=-1". That made the problem better, but now it just seems to take longer (a couple of minutes) for the keyboard to lose connectivity. Also, now when it loses connectivity, it seems even disconnecting and reconnecting the dongle doesn't always fix it.
Anyone have ideas what I might try from here?
lsof -t, the dongle is connected directly to the root hub (under only xHCI host controller). I noticed in powertop that those controllers were still under power management, so I disabled them. That didn't seem to help. The keyboard still lost connection.

Both don't ship with their own Wayland compositor, but there are enough to choose from.
Xfce comes with a wayland session using labwc out of the box, but was also tested with Wayfire. The devs state you shouldn't hold your breath waiting for the native window manager xfwm to be ported into a Wayland compositor, since they don't know if/when it will be done. Almost all other Xfce components support Wayland now, while retaining X11 compatibility.
LXQt's newest stable release has full Wayland support, with 7 different Wayland compositors to choose from within a GUI settings menu: Labwc, KWin, Wayfire, Hyprland, Sway, River and Niri

Arch is aimed at people who know their shit so they can build their own distro based on how they imagine their distro to be. It is not a good distro for beginners and non power users, no matter how often you try to make your own repository, and how many GUI installers you make for it. There's a good reason why there is no GUI installer in arch (aside from being able to load it into ram). That being that to use Arch, you need to have a basic understanding of the terminal. It is in no way hard to boot arch and type in archinstall. However, if you don't even know how to do that, your experience in whatever distro, no matter how arch based it is or not, will only last until you have a dependency error or some utter and total Arch bullshit® happens on your system and you have to run to the forums because you don't understand how a wiki works.
You want a bleeding edge distro? Use goddamn Opensuse Tumbleweed for all I care, it is on par with arch, and it has none of the arch stuff.
You have this one package that is only available on arch repos? Use goddamn flatpak and stop crying about flatpak being bloated, you probably don't even know what bloat means if you can't set up arch. And no, it dosent run worse. Those 0,0001 seconds don't matter.
You really want arch so you can be cool? Read the goddamn 50 page install guide and set it up, then we'll talk about those arch forks.
(Also, most arch forks that don't use arch repos break the aur, so you don't even have the one thing you want from arch)
Any recommendations for a linux distro that i can set up and be reasonably sure my non techy SO won't break accidentally? The set up doesn't have to be easy it just has to not break once I leave her alone with it. My first thought was popOS.
My plan is to have 2 profiles and not give her access to sudo. I just don't want to have to go into it unless she needs a new program.
Fedora is a bit too eager to deliver new updates IMO, especially KDE. As much as I love KDE, their .0 releases have had serious bugs several times in a row now. It's always better to wait for .1 patch with Plasma. It may be hard for the user to break Kinoite, but it won't save them from bugs.
Fedora's mission have always been to push new stuff when it's "mostly ready" at the cost of inconveniencing of some users, so I wouldn't recommend it for non-tech-savvy people.
I know people say that it's 100% stable for them (as they do for Arch, Tumbleweed, Debian Sid, etc) but that's survirorship bias. As any bleeding edge distro, Fedora has its periods of stability that are broken by tumultuous transitions to the new and shiny tech (like it was with Pipewire, Wayland default, major DE upgrades, etc). During these times some people's setup will break and you don't know ahead of time if it will be yours.

Oh yeah, I forgot about our gamers! They will whine that you can't play games on Linux. It's very funny because for a long time there has been a program called lux-wine that allows you to open 95% of .exe programs and even more so you can choose any version of Windows without downloading anything, there is like proton and so on.
I am ready to talk to anyone about this topic, but not for the purpose of humiliation or insult.
What's Linux? Why are you making a strawman to found yoer disagreement, there is no inherent value to what you believe to be obvious.
"Linux the kernel" is a wonder of the software world. One free and open source kernel codebase to rule them all, a culture, a license that enshrines that culture. The kernel is great as it is.
"Linux the kernel packaged with software used on the desktop" is flaming garbage. That's not to say it's worse, modern windows is like using the lava from Chernobyl to keep warm on a brisk evening. MacOS is relatively acceptable but Apple isn't. Open source BSD based OSes are cumbersome on the edges of general computing. Android is all but Google OS at this point. Ultimately no practical, actually useful alternatives to linux on the desktop actually exist. This does NOT mean we have to convince ourselves it is actually good.
"Linux the kernel and a server OS package" is great, can't go wrong with this. Love it, genuinely.
"Linux for embedded devices" is a fucking travesty. Still happens.

So, I am one of those old school types who mains with Firefox and Noscript. And also a filthy casual that just goes on lemmy.world. But half the images are broken because I'm expected to allow scripts on like 30+ sites to see most of the posts. I'm literally expected to allow /all/ the scripts from a domain just so I can see a dang picture behind the thumbnail. That's the entirety of the scripting needed. That seems ridiculous. Is there, I don't know, a server/way that makes it so I don't have to blanket allow all these scripts? To put it in meme form (not sure I'm doing it right, never seen the show): "It's an image of a banana Michael, what should it take, one Raspberry Pi running Docker?"

I am going to buy a new graphics card and can't choose between Nvidia and AMD. I know that Nvidia has bad reputation in Linux community but how really it works? And I heard recently their drivers got better. What can you recommend?
P. S. I don't want any proprietary drivers (so I am talking about Nouveau or any other FOSS Nvidia driver if it exists)
Just not true anymore. Must have been years ago that you used Nvidia on Linux. As someone who has been using Nvidia GPUs under Linux (Manjaro KDE mostly), recently also under Wayland (since plasma 6), I can attest that the experience is very good, no "tons of small issues".
Still though, since OP wants no proprietary drivers, he has to go for AMD, since nouveau is dog shit.
So a bit under 3 years ago, I made my infamous Wayland rant post that is likely the most read post on this blog by miles. I should really actually write about music again one of these days, but that's a topic for another time. The language was perhaps a bit inflammatory, but I felt the criticisms I made at the time were fair. It was primarily born out some frustrations I had with the entire ecosystem, and it was not like I was the only sole voice. There are other people out there you can find that encountered their own unique Wayland problems and wrote about it.With that post, I probably cast myself as some anti-Wayland guy which is my own doing, but I promise you that is not the case. You can check my mpv commits, and it's businesses as usual. Lots of Wayland fixes, features, and all that good stuff. Quite some time has passed since then, and it is really overdue look at the situation again with all the new developments in mind. To be frank, my original post is very outdated and it is not fair to leave it up in its current state without acknowledging the work that has been done. So in comparison to 3 years ago, I have a much more positive outlook now.
It's not that bad. It's just German for flea market. And English speakers shouldn't have an issue with at least "Markt". Not far from a cognate.
Definitely better names but I think the bigger hurdle is getting the critical mass to get something like marketplace to work in the fediverse even with the perfect name.

Just looking at this post as an example, on lemmy.world show it has 29 comments, but when i open it, there are now only 3 or 4. I replied to one comment, the user i replied to got banned, and the whole comment tree is gone from lemmy.world. Other instances still show all comments, including those from the banned user and my reply.
I think it’s very confusing when a single post appears with different comments on different instances, and have no idea how this works.

The Debian Publicity Team is stepping away from X/Twitter, citing concerns over values and diversity.Sourav Rudra (It's FOSS News)
& all the US-based corporate social media… Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Reddit, Discord, LinkedIn, & GitHub.
The VC-funded ones too like BlueSky
The developer behind Pixelfed, Loops, and Sup, open source alternatives to Instagram, TikTok, and WhatsApp, respectively, is now raising funds on Kickstarter to fuel the apps’ further development.
The trio is part of the growing open social web, also known as the fediverse, powered by the same ActivityPub protocol used by X alternative Mastodon. The latter saw increased signups and use after the company formerly known as Twitter sold to Elon Musk in October 2022 and during the X exodus that followed the U.S. presidential election.
In the months and years following that sale, open source and decentralized apps like Mastodon and Bluesky (which uses the newer AT Protocol), have continued to grow their user bases, as people sought alternatives to centralized social media apps controlled by billionaires like Musk and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg.

I hate when people say that they'll only move when it has 100% support
People who say 'cant wait for steamOS to come out so that I can move to it' is also very similar
They never will try Linux, even if what they want comes true
They won't do it, whether they just fear change or think it'll break stuff or they can't bother
And I'm not going to lie, I don't hate them or debate with them for it, I just hate the bold lies they tell just to get with the crowd
"Fuck you Microsoft, I'm moving to Linux" says the individual that would never move if they haven't already
Frankly, I probably wouldn't move either if Windows didn't permanently break my ethernet and WiFi drivers, and reinstalling windows wasn't harder than installing Linux, fucking hell
Either way, these people kick up hype for a Linux that will be so much bigger but they never arrive
Maybe they will, due in fucking 2028 or something when they invent a really easy way to use built in Linux tools to move your files from NTFS to Linux and then when you launch steam you have a perfect library of Linux compatible games that are as good or better than windows
And don't lie, even now with 80% compatibility it feels more like 60%, whether because it depends on the system one runs or because the performance drops just make it not worth it...
At least don't lie that you'll move to Linux at a goal post that you'll just move whenever you get close, maybe say that you'll move to Linux when you finally get a new pc with a new disk or something?
It's a little strange that you think "I want feature parity with what's working for me (from my perspective)" is:
1) A lie.
2) Unreasonable to ask for.
The healthy responses would be "Well, I hope either support grows or your needs change, because of some philosophical reasons you might not care about... yet" or, if they're open to it "Oh, it can do this if you put a little work in, let me help you."
The unhealthy response is to accuse people of moving goalposts as if someone's tool of choice is a political debate. It can be, obviously, given FOSS philosophies, but honestly this kind of screed just drives people away.
