sshPilot is now on Flathub


I'm excited to let you know that sshPilot is now available on Flathub:
flathub.org/en/apps/io.github.…

It’s an intuitive, fast SSH connection manager with features like terminal tabs, a built-in SFTP file manager, port forwarding, key transfer (ssh-copy-id) and more and is optimized for fast navigation with keyboard.

In addition to the dual-pane file manager, the latest release adds a macOS bundle, a keyboard shortcuts customizer and support for grouping servers.

Technical notes:

The app doesn't use any custom configuration, it loads and saves standard ssh/config files.

It has an optional Isolated (sandboxed) mode which is enabled by default in the Flatpak. With this mode the app keeps its own sshconfig separate, which might be useful if you want to keep things isolated from your regular ~/.ssh/config.

The app is still under heavy development and more features and enhancements are planned.

How to get it?

Downloads for linux and macOS are available from the website or project page on GitHub.

The non-Flatpak versions (RPM, DEB and Arch packages) have extra features including:

  • Custom terminal (use your favorite terminal: Ghostty, Kitty, Alacritty, etc are all supported)
  • File management with Nautilus/Dolphin etc. using GVFS/GIO (you can still enable and use the built-in file manager)

Homepage: sshpilot.app/

I'd love to hear your feedback/thoughts.

Printers for Linux


Time for 2025 printer research!

Have been stalling getting a new printer since this HP has been doing me fine since way back. But of course we need to prepare for the inevitable firmware updates and subscription raises that will lock us in.

What I've heard is best:
- Laser Printers
- Brother branded

Recently though, Brother started doing the funky like all other printer companies. This stopped me last time when I was about to buy one.

I won't get into the details as to where I've found and read this information because it's in the back of my mind.

And since I'm really just here to ask:
WHAT KIND OF PRINTER YOU GOT, LINUX USERS?

Preferably under $200.

EDIT: Scanning + Printer + Copier combo is the ultimate goal, but whatever else works too. Preferably wifi connected. But I can make some Ethernet cables.

I've run my business for over 25 years, and I haven't had a printer in over two decades. I have needed to print something less than half a dozen times since making the decision to not replace it. Instead I print to PDF and if I need actual physical paper, I've put a PDF on a USB flash drive and taken it to my local office supplies store to print on demand.

I have a scanner, it's been used perhaps a dozen times in the same period.

In other words, have you considered not buying a printer?

Gaming on Linux, -


I know im not the only one, trying to get gaming on linux, but im different 😀
I am hooked on Flightgear, (the flight gear group on lemmy seems dead) but im right now playing it (still as a novice) on my Lenovo T470 with Fedora. So well its running okay, but the graphics, especially the suroundings just dosnt look like wheni see thoese vids online about flightgear. So i was wondering, and dreaming about a desktop PC, running linux, that is capable of delevering better graphics in Flightgear.i dont know anything about building a pc, but do you have a recommended setup of all hardware i schould get, and software, to get Flightgear up and running more beautyfull? Im also considdering of using steam as a gameshop. Im such a noob, that i would prefer exsact list of what hardware i schould use. Btw i would like to build my own pc, because im not a fan of thoese gamercomputers with all the colourrd light insight.
in reply to with chicken

No idea about Flightgear but to get super niche X-Plane works in VR on Linux, including with flight simulator joysticks.

I can't help you with your specific setup but my point is that gaming on Linux works very well unless you need kernel level anti cheat which at this point is pretty much only a portion of competitive gaming.

I don't see anything on protondb.com/search?q=Flightge… though so not a good sign.

Proposal for improved COSMIC apps:


So, I think cosmic apps should support whatever the global menu protocol is called, and have the top bar be ssd. The ssd would use the global menu protocol to add the already existing menu bar to the titlebar.

This would have quite a few benefits, including

  • Making every third party app with a menu bar look more native, with them getting a COSMIC-style titlebar.
  • Making COSMIC apps integrate nicer with other desktops, especially for people who use a mac-style global menu.
  • A more unified and flexible desktop experience overall.

Obvious problems being what to do with other buttons in titlebars(I propose to just move them to wherever else would make sense) and what to do on desktops with no server side decorations like GNOME. Also, on other desktops that have ssd, but don't put the global menu anywhere, there would have to be a more classic, less elegant menu bar.

This proposal definitely has downsides, but I think it'd be a definite improvement and align with COSMIC's philosphy, so tell me what you all think!

Also, if any system76 employees are reading this, pretty please 🥺 ?

[Discussion] Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend?


Sorry, day late with this one.

Not currently playing any soulslikes - got stuck on League again 🤦🏻‍♂️

What about you? Also, would you like these posts to be a weekly or a bi-weekly thing? The response to these posts has been pretty good the past couple times, but maybe there's just not too many different people coming here where it would warrant a weekly check-in.

Feel free to cast a vote here: strawpoll.com/wby5Q3YL1yA

Thanks!

JD Vance suggests trans people pose a “domestic terrorist threat” & FBI plans to target trans people - LGBTQ Nation


in reply to Philote

I guess they are aware that a smaller group of people are contemplating of getting rid of them in a less peaceful way somehow. with this, they can smear trans people, manufacture a reason to get rid of them, to reduce their rights, and also further turn people against each other by claiming that these trans people and everyone opposing maga are terrorists

New to Proxmox, Facing Issues with Homelab Setup - Need Advice


cross-posted from: lemmy.buddyverse.net/post/5454

Hello everyone, I’m fairly new to Proxmox and struggling with my homelab setup. I have two machines running Proxmox 9: an HP EliteDesk 800 G5 Mini (Core i7-9700) and a Dell OptiPlex 7070 Micro (Core i3 9th gen). I’m running into several issues and would appreciate your insights.
  1. Networking Issue on EliteDesk: I have two VMs (both Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS) on the same bridge. If I stop or shut down one VM, the other loses internet connectivity. Local access to applications still works. Any ideas on why the bridge is behaving this way?
  2. Backup Setup on OptiPlex: I’m running a Proxmox Backup Server VM with Backblaze B2 as an S3 datastore. This is working fine so far.
  3. Backup Problems on EliteDesk: I’m using default LVM-thin for VMs. Backups take a very long time and often freeze at 1-2%. Shutting down the VM cleanly afterward is nearly impossible. I’ve tried both Stop and Snapshot modes, but the issue persists. When a VM becomes unresponsive, it triggers the networking issue above. Would switching to ZFS help? If so, how can I migrate without losing any data?
  4. Hardware Acceleration for Jellyfin: On the EliteDesk, I’d like to enable hardware acceleration for a VM running Jellyfin (in Docker) using the i7-9700’s UHD 630 iGPU. Can anyone recommend a clear guide specific to this CPU? The Proxmox documentation isn’t very detailed for Intel GPUs.

The networking issue is the most frustrating. Has anyone encountered similar bridge problems? Any advice on fixes or next steps would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

in reply to mitexleo

  1. This sounds like a weird one. It would be helpful to have some more info about your network. Would you share your PVE host’s /etc/network/interfaces file and the config file for the VMs (from /etc/pve/qemu-server)?
  2. Excellent
  3. I think ZFS would likely help since it can make use of block level snapshots. I think the way to move things over would be to create a ZFS datastore in Proxmox and then just migrate each VM’s disk.
  4. Personally I think this is a bit simpler in an LXC container and there are a bunch of tutorials to help. These two are similar to my own setup:

- blog.bekh.fr/jellyfin-lxc-with…
- wundertech.net/installing-jell…

Hope some of that helps

Plasma Crash?


After a random amount of time plasma just crashes. No other graphical issues and I am not sure what is causing this. I am assuming some config somewhere copied over with my home folder? because i did a clean install for the lols. If anyone knows what I am doing wrong respectfully let me know. sorry for being stupid

How to save iptables rules in Debian and Ubuntu?


I'm trying to set up some iptables rules in both Debian and Ubuntu, but I'm not sure how to make them persistent. As far as I understand the iptables package in the debian and Ubuntu repos is actually iptables-nft meaning I'm actually creating nftables rules, so I'm supposed to use iptables-nft-save to save them instead of using the normal method for iptables or nftables? But that command just seems to produce an output that doesn't match the syntax for iptables or nftables and the man page is not very helpful.

I'm also confused why Ubuntu does seem to have the /etc/iptables/rules.v4 and v6 files but Debian doesn't? Both seem to have /etc/nftables.conf as well but I'm not sure if that's even used (the Ubuntu machine has a bunch of iptables rules already defined which don't show up there but do show up in nft list ruleset)

xfce-panel -p/--preferences (missing in settings window)

Or

Right-click somewhere on a empty panel space > "panel" > "panel settings" (choose your panel if multiple) > tab "objects". Edit "window buttons" or whatever object you have there (each has their own settings dialog).

Normally, there should be a "properties" on right-click on the respective object for direct access. But that's missing in "window buttons".

Similar actions has been made by both sides:

  • In October 2023, four NATO reconnaissance aircraft (an RQ-4 Global Hawk, a Bombardier Challenger 650 Artemis, and two P-8A Poseidons) conducted flights approximately 150 km from the Crimean coast.
  • In August 2023, MQ-9 "Reaper" and TB2 "Bayraktar" drones conducted reconnaissance over the Black Sea but were intercepted and diverted by Russian Aerospace Forces fighters.

Tar did a weird thing today


I'm so baffled I had to ask – why this behaviour?

cd /var/www/html
tar czf ~/package.tgz admin/* api/* mobile/*

I do this, and the resulting package doesn't include a couple of hidden files – api/.htaccess and admin/.htaccess. However...
cd /var/www/html
tar czf ~/package.tgz *

This time the hidden .htaccess files are there.

Does anybody have enlightenment to offer as to why?

in reply to eldavi

On Thunder I have no excerpt and I find really annoying all those who post link without comments. They are just doing clickbait like any news aggregator. If I want that there is already google news for instance...
So I value those who add a comment to their post and say why they post it and find it interesting. Isn't Lemmy all about sharing thought, so does poster except other to do it for him and just want to have popular posts?

F-Droid blog post about Google's and Apple's (non)compliance with the EU's DMA


I found this post quite interesting. While i already knew a few things its interesting to get a look at how scummy these companies behave at public events hosted by the European Comission.
in reply to unexposedhazard

The Google and Apple lawyers seemed to share the tactic of just running out the time as much as possible. They went overtime on their presentations, which were largely marketing speech and fluffy statements. They gave long winded answers which adeptly avoided actually answering the questions that were posed. “Malicious compliance” seems to be the Big Tech game plan here.


and they wonder why lawyers are hated.

in reply to Ulrich

I fully flipped over every device in my house off windows about a week or two ago, and so far so good!

I've been daily driving linux on my personal laptop since 2009 (16 years now!?) for school / work / personal work-esque stuff, and my work laptop is now OSX. A few weeks ago I flipped my gaming machine from windows to popOS and been quite pleasantly surprised at how well gaming on Linux is these days. So much so, I convinced my wife to let me flip her gaming machine to Linux as well.

The only hiccup I've recently had was having to deal with windows-only, non-steam software. Ie. insta360. Luckily, there are compatibility layers / emulators I can use to be able to run it. It's slow, but good enough.

At this point, there's no good reason for me to go back to Windows or anything Microsoft. It's even become a red flag when I hear a business is using Microsoft's products. I want to hope Microsoft gets a wake up call at some point soon and turns the ship around, but I think they've got too many big-company deals to have to worry about their consumer products being shite.

Birdtray on Debian is extremely self-deprecating...


Perhaps only mildly interesting but I just did an apt show for birdtray on Debian 13 and got this in the second paragraph of the description:

It is a nasty hack -- an external process looking at Thunderbird's
insides, it suffers from problems like noticing new mails only after a
delay, having to restart Thunderbird just to hide its window, etc --
you'd want to use an extension like firetray instead -- but, it is
likely that support for Thunderbird XUL extensions will be dropped soon,
possibly by the time you read these words.


Not used to seeing this kind of language in the Debian repos tbh.

in reply to TotallynotJessica

One of my friends is nonbinary but they looks super masculine. Deep voice, into powerlifting, etc. I introduced them and their girlfriend to my parents when they were in town. Later my mom was so confused. "How can someone be attracted to women if they're non-binary"? She has been a high school teacher for forever. She's had plenty of students that were trans or used different pronouns than she assumed. I was so surprised that this sort of thing would slip through the cracks.

Does zram impede disk cache?


cross-posted from: swg-empire.de/post/4511580

In my relentless pursuit of trying to coax more performance out of my Lemmy instance I read that PostgreSQL heavily relies on the OSs disk cache for read performance. I've got 16 GB of RAM and two hdds in RAID 1. I've PostgreSQL configured to use 12 GB of RAM and I've zram swap set up with 8 GB.

But according to htop PostgreSQL ia using only about 4 GB. My swap gets hardly touched. And read performance is awful. Opening my profile regularly times out. Only when it's worked ones does it load quickly until I don't touch it again for half an hour or so.

Now, my theory is that the zram actually takes available RAM away from the disk cache, thus slowing the whole system down. My googling couldn't bring me the answer because it only showed me how to set up zram in the first place.

Does anyone know if my theory is correct?
