@NoBeret @Darren Great now the Middle East will glow in the Dark, and what do you think Russia will do in kind? Thanks for the step towards ww III and the wise spending of our tax money, fucktard!
@NoBeret @Darren I voted for Trump because I thought he had a handle on economics AND because he said he was for peace. He just went against his word, so my support is now dropped as a result. It's not about drama, it's about life and death. You bomb radioactive materials, you disperse them, this is not good. We have enough accidents with the likes of Fukushima and Chernobyl, we don't need to be stupid on purpose.
this may be an unpopular opinion but iran has as much right to have nukes as israel does. i am more concerned with israel's hostility toward the USA than iran's

"Billie Jean" was the first short film made for 'Thriller,' the biggest-selling album of all time. The short film for this No. 1 single, directed by Steve Barron, made history as the first video by a black artist to receive heavy rotation on MTV, and was later ranked by the network as one of the 100 greatest music videos of all time.
Michael Jackson's short film for "Billie Jean" was the first of three short films produced for recordings from Thriller, which continues its reign as the biggest selling album of all time with worldwide sales in excess of 105 million as of June 1, 2016 and in December, 2015 became the first ever album to be awarded triple diamond status by the RIAA for US sales alone. The ""Billie Jean"" single reached No. 1 in 10 countries in the spring of 1983, including seven consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 - becoming the second-highest selling single in America that same year.
"Billie Jean" was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America on April 4, 1983, and Platinum on February 4, 1989. The song won two Grammy Awards for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance - Male, as well as an American Music Award for Favorite Single - Pop/Rock and was also named the Single of the Year on The Village Voice Pazz & Jop critics' poll in 1983.
The short film featured a paparazzo attempting to photograph Jackson as he danced through an urban landscape. A specially created set featured steps and sidewalk tiles that lit up underneath Michael's feet. It is here that fans first saw some of Michael's best-known dance moves, such as spinning and landing on his toes. Many of Michael's steps and mannerisms in the video would become forever associated with The King of Pop.
When the chorus hit.he sprung into this dance that was unlike anything I'd ever seen, director Steve Barron recounted of Jackson's choreography in the video. "It was just extraordinary, instinctive. He pulled it all together and turned it into what we saw.The camera literally steamed up, the eyepiece steamed up, because of my heat from what I was seeing." Barron also recalled the crew breaking into spontaneous applause after Michael finished dancing.
The "Billie Jean" short film made history as the first video by a black artist to be played in heavy rotation on MTV, then in its second year. In 1992, the short film was inducted into the Music Video Producers Hall of Fame. MTV ranked "Billie Jean" as the 35th greatest music video of all time in 1999, one of three entries of Jackson's on the chart alongside "Thriller" and "Beat It."
🎵 L Y R I C S 🎵: She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene I said, "Don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one Who will dance on the floor in the round?" She said I am the one Who will dance on the floor in the round She told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one Who will dance on the floor in the round
People always told me, "Be careful of what you do Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts" (hee-eeh) And mother always told me, "Be careful of who you love And be careful of what you do (oh, oh) 'Cause the lie becomes the truth" (oh, oh), eh-eh

For 40 days and for 40 nights, I was on her side But who can stand when she's in demand? Her schemes and plans 'Cause we danced on the floor in the round (hee) So take my strong advice Just remember to always think twice (Don't think twice!) Do think twice! (Ah-hoo) She told my baby we'd danced 'til 3:00, then she looked at me Then showed a photo of a baby crying, his eyes were like mine (oh, no) 'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby (Ooh, hee-hee-hee)
People always told me, "Be careful of what you do And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts" (don't break no hearts) But she came and stood right by me Just the smell of sweet perfume This happened much too soon She called me to her room, hey

On the eve of Day of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners, under a full moon, we disabled 10 police surveillance cameras here in New Orleans. We’re inspired by the uprising in Los Angeles, by Weelaunee Forest defenders facing repression in Georgia, by all people under occupation fighting to be free. We encourage like-minded folks to find each other in the night and attack–for the wild joy, for the burning rage, for Mother Earth. Fuck city council and their facial recognition bullshit. Fuck the police. Fuck a “peaceful” protest. There is no peace! Free Palestine! Free Turtle Island! Free Planet Earth!

The song Crying At The Discotheque would usually want a video recorded in - you guessed it - a disco or club, but I have been thinking so much recently about all my musician and crew friends who can't work at the moment, I thought a video where I film in as many empty London venues as possible would highlight all that's on hold at the moment.
I worked again with my favourite team for my videos, Sophie Muller, Robbie Ryan and Lisa Laudat, and we did all 7 venues in one day. It was strangely moving performing in those places to no crowd when I'd sang in them previously so full of life. I hope it brings home the gap in our culture at the moment.
Lyrics: Downtown's been caught by the hysteria The people scream and shout A generation's on the move When disco spreads like a bacteria The lonely days are out Behold the passion of the groove
The golden years, the silver tears You wore a tie like Richard Gere I wanna get down, you spin me around I stand on the borderline
Crying at the discotheque Crying at the discotheque
I saw you crying I saw you crying at the discotheque I saw you crying I saw you crying at the discotheque
Tonight's the night at the danceteria The joining of the tribe The speakers pumping clear and loud And the way you move is our criteria Let the DJ takes you high And tears of joy baptize the crowd
The golden years, the silver tears You wore a tie like Richard Gere I wanna get down, you spin me around I stand on the borderline
Crying at the discotheque Crying at the discotheque
I saw you crying I saw you crying at the discotheque I saw you crying I saw you crying at the discotheque
The golden years, the silver tears You wore a tie like Richard Gere I wanna get down, you spin me around I stand on the borderline
Crying at the discotheque Crying at the discotheque Crying at the discotheque The discotheque, the discotheque Crying at the discotheque Crying at the discotheque

So for Friday night, myself and my friends got rather board. And as the resident "Things collector" i got 2 Maxtor touch sense 2 external hardrives. However those who were alive in 2000's know Maxtor went bankrupt and haven't made hardrives for a very long time. One of these drive i got BRAND NEW, in box at a flea market. sadly time got to the platters first, i spent a few hours trying to reformat or partition them and all i got was write errors. I tried different utility's with no avail and decided to cut my losses, so i asked the boys what we should do with them? Immediately my friend had an idea, to bring out his 9mm and see how a hardrive would fair! We all took turns and they were pretty hard to hit (we made the mistake of drink soda before hand). We eventually landed some shots on the center of the drives and MAN it actually stopped 2 bullets!!! going into this we all expected the disk to be unreadable after the fact, but didnt think the hardrives would stop a 9mm bullet!!
We then took the hdd's apart after are volley of bullets, and alot of the chips were damaged and all the platters were bent. But when we took off the top case, it looked so freakin cool i had to keep it

I'm kinda not surprised it stopped the 9mm. It's not the most powerful round. Also, several platters is basically like spaced armor, which is more bullet resistant than the same total thickness in one chunk. Ever shot a gun before this?
Here’s a great hack sent in to us from [Simon]. He uses an e-paper photo frame as a weather map!
By now you are probably aware of e-paper technology, which is very low power tech for displaying images. E-paper only uses energy when it changes its display, it doesn’t draw power to maintain a picture it has already rendered. The particular e-paper used in this example is fairly large (as e-paper goes) and supports color (not just black and white) which is why it’s expensive. For about US$100 you can get a 5.7″ 7-color EPD display with 600 x 448 pixels.
Beyond the Inky Frame 5.7″ hardware this particular hack is mostly a software job. The first program, written in python, collects weather data from the UK Met Office. Once that image data is available a BASH script is run to process the image files with imagemagick. Finally a Micro Python script runs on the Pico to download the correct file based on the setting of the real-time clock, and update the e-paper display with the weather map.
That's super cool. I see a lot of potential for e-ink displays that is just starting to take off. Billboards, airport info boards, programmable qr codes. It's so much nicer to look at a display that isn't backlit and they just sip power. This is a perfect application for one.
It just goes to show you. The only way to get the Linux desktop market share up is not building. Something better than Windows we have been there for a while. It's make hardware, put Linux on that hardware and sell it in a store. Avg people don't change operating systems. They change computers. Now if we could just get steam decks in retail stores. It would be a huge.
Ah that makes sense i know Brazil has laws to keep imports low. That's why Brazil kept the saga mega drive active for so long. So having Linux on machines makes sense. Since it's both an import and not an import at the same time.
It's a shame more developers don't target Linux! Anyway I have been Steam gaming on Linux for about 10 years now and it's amazing how good games targeted at Windows run through Proton. I have many games that are targeted for Windows and run BETTER on Fedora.
I'm not honestly. As far as I know SteamOS is based on arch which should give it a massive boost in comparison to other linux distros just from the number of Steam Decks

The image displays a detailed system monitoring interface, likely from a Linux-based operating system. The interface is divided into several sections, each providing different types of information.
Top Section: The top section features a large graph with a grid of colored dots, possibly representing system performance metrics over time. Below this, there are system statistics including CPU usage, memory usage, and disk usage. The CPU usage is shown as 24.74%, with a load average of 21.3, 76.2, and 59.3. Memory usage is displayed with 8.18 GB used out of 14.8 GB total, and 6.67 GB available. Disk usage shows 8.18 GB used out of 14.8 GB total, with 6.67 GB available.
Middle Section: The middle section includes a list of processes with their respective commands, CPU usage, and memory usage. The processes are listed in a table format, with columns for the command, CPU usage, and memory usage. The processes are color-coded, with red indicating high usage. The top process is "clang++" with a CPU usage of 79%.
Bottom Section: The bottom section shows network statistics, including upload and download speeds, with upload at 17.8 Kbps and download at 16.2 Kbps. There is also a graph showing network activity over time.
Right Section: The right section displays detailed information about the CPU, including temperature, fan speed, and voltage. It also shows the system's hardware specifications, such as the CPU model (Ryan 7 7350H) and the amount of RAM (4.2 GB).
Additional Details: The interface also includes a terminal window with various commands and outputs, such as "select" and "Info: reneate III signals." The system's hostname is "reneate," and the current date and time are "07/52."
The overall color scheme is dark, with text and graphs in various shades of green, red, and yellow, providing a clear contrast for readability.

Prominent KDE developer Nate Graham put out a blog post today reaffirming the KDE Plasma's intent that Wayland is their main focus and X11 support continues to be maintained but eventually it will go away. Nate Graham also noted around 73% of KDE Plasma 6 users are already using the Wayland session.
Bit chicken and egg though, isn't it? Maybe a big desktop environment enforcing Wayland will get people working more on the fixes for the stuff that doesn't work out yet.
I understand people being annoyed if they are in the 30% though, and not trying to dismiss that.
We’ll make sure Plasma continues to compile and deploy on X11.
As for when Plasma will drop support for X11? There’s currently no firm timeline for this, and I certainly don’t expect it to happen in the next year, or even the next two years.
We’ll make sure Plasma continues to compile and deploy on X11. Bug reports about the Plasma X11 session being horribly broken (for example, you can’t log in) will be fixed.
Quoted from the blog: "Current status: Plasma’s X11 session continues to be maintained.
Specifically, that means: - We’ll make sure Plasma continues to compile and deploy on X11. - Bug reports about the Plasma X11 session being horribly broken (for example, you can’t log in) will be fixed. - Very bad X11-specific regressions will probably be fixed eventually. - Less-bad X11-specific bugs will probably not be fixed unless someone pays for it. - X11-specific features will definitely not be implemented unless someone pays for it. "
X11 is in the news again, so I thought it would make sense to be clear about the Plasma team’s plans for X11 support going forward. Current status: Plasma’s X11 session continues to be …
Remaining 30% probably people like me whose nvidia driver multi monitor issues make wayland unusable.
Yes, some multi monitor configurations work, yes, yours might work just fine, but there's plenty of recent posts on kde.org forums showing the issue is far from isolated.
Multi monitor has issues in KDE itself as well, I'm on AMD and there are a few really annoying (and confirmed) bugs when it comes to multi monitor setups. Some bugs go waaaaay back.
I love this comment. I love it because even though I don't know what wayland is, I gather by context it's popular, and has something to do with output of your display.
And it's popular, but it doesn't work FOR YOU.
And you have to point out that just because something works for others, doesn't mean it works for everybody.
I'm pretty unskilled when it comes to linux, but I've noticed linux users fall into one of two groups.
First, the group who genuinely want to help you. They may not KNOW the exact answer, because they don't know your exact hardware, but they try to help with common problems.
The other group takes it as a personal insult if you're having problems in linux that you don't know how to solve. Like linux is part of their personality, and they think linux is perfect without the ability to have problems. Therefore the guy asking for help is just trying to insult linux, and therefore themselves. They then respond with hostility and personal insults about how it's your problem.
Yeah. It IS my problem. Can ya figure out what I'm doing wrong?
But they don't see it that way. In their eyes, linux is perfect, and you're an asshole for saying you have an issue.
So what I'm saying is, I love how you already know you need to state upfront you KNOW it works for others, but not for you.
Arch is known for upgrades breaking things, which is easy enough to fix if you know the right incantation, but no beginner is going to guess that correctly, so they post to a forum, and are met with a general condescending attitude, usually several replies that amount to "if you had read the upgrade guide, you'd know what to do." Of course when googling, you're much more likely to find the general upgrade instructions, rather than this week's specific upgrade guide with the known pitfalls and their fixes...
Touch support really needs some love because OOF. I understand why it's maybe not a priority, but I have a nice little 2-in-1 and I'm tired of pretending like tablets don't at least deserve their niche.
Any good gesture support software I might be missing?
If I'm reading the wiki correctly, touch is just reduced to pointer input and yeah, that's exactly what it feels like
EDIT:
Yes, the writing is on the wall. X11’s upstream development has dropped off significantly in recent years, and X11 isn’t able to perform up to the standards of what people expect today with respect to support for multi-monitor setups, high DPI monitors, HDR, VRR, other fancy monitor features, multi-GPU setups, screen tearing, security, crash robustness, input handling, and more.
I glossed over it on first reading, but I guess there's a small nod to it there and that's something.
Mischa Geracoulis As the second Trump administration is dispatching its minions to stalk US streets, smashing citizens’ First Amendment rights, in partnership with unregulated Big Tech, it also surveils online, helping itself to citizens’ personal id…
@jazzilla elaborate? I am using "Trump" loosely. We are obviously looking at the final chapter of a 30 year plan, this isn't Trump per se, I'm just using this colloquially.
But that said, he has to be taking into consideration the all necessary "popular support". That is a real variable in a controlled "democracy".
And that's basically what the answer relies on, does the plan go forth or get stalled because political support will drain in a flash?
KDE Plasma Remains Committed To A Wayland Future: 70%+ Already On Wayland
"- We’ll make sure Plasma continues to compile and deploy on X11. - Bug reports about the Plasma X11 session being horribly broken (for example, you can’t log in) will be fixed. - Very bad X11-specific regressions will probably be fixed eventually. - Less-bad X11-specific bugs will probably not be fixed unless someone pays for it. - X11-specific features will definitely not be implemented unless someone pays for it.
As for when Plasma will drop support for X11? There’s currently no firm timeline for this, and I certainly don’t expect it to happen in the next year, or even the next two years. But that’s just a guess; it depends on how quickly we implement everything on community.kde.org/Plasma/Wayla…. Our plan is to handle everything on that page such that even the most hardcore X11 user doesn’t notice anything missing when they move to Wayland. At this point in time, our telemetry says that a majority of Plasma users are already using the Wayland session. Currently 73% of Plasma 6 users who have turned on telemetry are using the Wayland session"
Prominent KDE developer Nate Graham put out a blog post today reaffirming the KDE Plasma's intent that Wayland is their main focus and X11 support continues to be maintained but eventually it will go away
re: KDE Plasma Remains Committed To A Wayland Future: 70%+ Already On Wayland
@Spooke the jump to 7 will probably be sooner than from 5 to 6 but i doubt it will be in 1-2 years. wayland development has speed up a lot the last couple years tho.

Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an “instance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.
We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our services are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.
There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, Misskey, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.
Macrobloging services are message systems that allow long form posts similar in format to Facebook. These allow for works of fiction, poetry, technical papers, news items, short stories, and more. These formats are most useful for discussion of social issues.
Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.
Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.
Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have it’s own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the entire network.
Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and you’re guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you don’t expand material marked as such, you can avoid this sort of material. There are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.
We offer the following federated services:
Friendica.Eskimo.Com Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.
Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in it’s ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still it’s primary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.
Mastodon.Eskimo.Com Mastodon is first and foremost an alternative to Twitter. While Twitter has Tweets, Mastodon has Toots. The format is very similar. Mastodon toots have a limit of 500 characters. Similar to the short limit of Twitter. This is why this platform is referred to as a Microbloging format. Mastodon interacts with other ActivityPub instances however when a long form blog post from another instance arrives, you are only shown a short portion with a link to follow to see the full post on the originating site.
NextCloud.Eskimo.Com If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.
Pixelfed.Eskimo.Com Pixelfed is a federated pixel gallery. A place where you can share your photos to the widest audience possible, and you can view what others have shared. Instance is new as of April 6th, 2025.
Yacy.Eskimo.Com Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl, but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.
If you enjoy these services, please consider supporting us by taking advantage of our paid services: https://www.eskimo.com/
Shell Accounts A shell is a command line interface for an operating system. With most shell providers, a command line interface on one flavor of Linux or Unix is all you get. Eskimo North provides access to eight different popular Linux distributions and SunOS Unix. Eskimo North also full remote desktop capabilities using X2Go with sound, and also NX, VNC, and RPD without sound.
Account Types We offer four different levels of shell accounts: Economy, Standard, Power, and Enterprise. Background tasks such as IRC bots, Game Servers, and the like are permitted on all account types except student. IRC servers are not permitted because of their tendency to draw denial of service attacks. Standard, Power, Enterprise, and Super-Max shells include a MySQL database allowing you to run a variety of LAMP stack based applications on your website and to use non-web based applications that require a database.
Web Hosting Web hosting under our domain is provided with all shell accounts. You can host your own domains with virtual domains or web hosting packages.
Remote Desktop Remote desktop capability is like having a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers plugged right into our servers. Because our servers can be accessed anywhere in the world, this allows you to have a work environment you can access from anywhere in the world without risking losing your files to a laptop, tablet, or phone thief. We offer remote desktop capabilities on all of our shell servers except for the SunOS server. We support x2go, nx, vnc, and rdp protocols. X2go is the best choice as it provides extremely efficient compression and X round trip removal as well as sound.
Applications Applications include Office Suites such as Libre Office and Caligra (which can read and write Microsoft Office file formats), Web and Program Development tools such as Bluefish Editor as well as many other editors, compilers, interpreters, scripting languages, debuggers, profilers, and online documentation.
E-mail Our e-mail system offers unprecedented flexibility. You can access your mail via shell mail readers including graphical mailers like Thunderbird, or via Web mail, or via pop-3 and imap mail protocols, complete with TLS encryption. Our mail system includes Bayesian filtering with Spam Assassin which can be individually configured for your needs. Procmail allows you to sort and process mail automatically. Smartlist allows you to maintain mailing lists.
Security Access to all of our servers is available via strong encryption. The shell servers all support ssh access. All of the remote desktop protocols tunnel via ssh. We maintain all of our servers up to date keep with the latest patches. Backups are made weekly.
Eskimo North has been providing Unix timeshare services since 1985. We have been providing Linux timeshare, shell access, web hosting, e-mail, and Internet services since 1992. Please take a look at our services as they support our free Federated services including Friendica, Hubzilla, Mastodon, Nextcloud, Pixelfed, and Yacy Search.
Available Shell Servers
We have a variety of Linux Servers with a variety of Linux Distributions and Desktop Environments. Linux servers in use here are of three basic lines, those derived from RedHat, such as Fedora, Centos, and Scientific Linux, and those derived from Debian such as Debian, Ubuntu, and Mint. Ubuntu is the most current and feature rich. Then there is Manjaro, derived from Arch Linux. Arch is more often broken because it is a real “do it yourself” Linux, an excellent learning platform, a good development platform, not a good production platform.
All of these servers are available if you have a shell account here. You can use them to learn various versions, decide which to install, and as one place you can develop applications for all versions. We install a wide variety of development tools on all of our publicly available servers.
Our servers listen to port 443 in addition to the standard ssh port of 22 to provide a means to connect from behind a firewall that blocks non-web access. You can also utilize Guacamole on our website (login public, password public).
Alma.Eskimo.Com This server is running Alma 8. Alma Linux replaces Scientific Linux after it’s discontinuation. Presently we are running Alma 8 because Alma 9 does not support NIS out of the box although there are ways of hacking it in. It is unfortunate that Redhat chose to piss on the infrastructure so many organizations depend upon. This is why we tend to favor Debian derived flavors. None the less as Redhat derived software goes Alma is pretty solid. Anduinos.Eskimo.Com Anduinos is a Debian derived distribution that defaults to a Gnome Desktop themed to look like Windows 10. At present though this Desktop is not working over network connections, instead Mate and Gnome are presently available. I am working on some others. Debian.Eskimo.Com This server is running on Debian Bullseye. It has a rich assortment of software installed, including hundreds of Games, a huge variety of Office Productivity software, many Educational and Scientific applications, a variety of Integrated Development Environments, and many programming languages. All of the documentation available online these applications is also loaded. Fedora.Eskimo.Com This server runs Fedora Rawhide. It can be accessed graphically using x2go and the Mate desktop. It has the most applications of any of the Redhat derived servers. I install just about everything I can get to work on this machine so it has a huge variety of applications installed. Kali.Eskimo.Com Kali is a special purpose shell server designed for penetration testing. It is primarily here to test our own internal security, and as a result, egress is extremely limited, however upon request, proof of IP space ownership, and permission of the owner and agreement to hold us harmless because it is possible some of these tests may be destructive, we will allow outbound for testing of other sites. Manjaro.Eskimo.Com Manjaro is a good choice for a Linux user who wants to just install and go. There is a pleasant user interface and a good choice of software in the Manjaro repositories. It is a less technical Linux than Ubuntu, you can do most things through graphical interfaces and the default xfce interface is extremely light in terms of memory footprint. Like most modern distros, a variety of Windows systems are available and we have Gnome, Mate, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, and LXQT installed. Mint.Eskimo.Com This is another recent addition to our shell servers. It is running Mint, although we have the Mate Desktop installed for graphical access. This is necessary because Unity and other compositing Desktops are incompatible with x2go and really work very roughly with VNC. If you like games, this is a good server to use and there are many installed. Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu which in turn is derived from Debian and this server thus follows the structure and layout of Debian and Ubuntu. MxLinux.Eskimo.Com MxLinux is an excellent choice for a computer with limited resources. Before the overhead of a Desktop is considered, MxLinux uses 200MB less RAM out of the box than does Ubuntu. If you’re not a fan of Poettering and Systemd, you’ll like this OS as it still uses a System-V init with Systemd shims to allow packages requiring systemd to function. You can also run systemd and in fact I am doing so because it boots faster. The default Desktop is LXDE which is also small and efficient. But if you like eye candy you can install any Desktop you like and as with other servers I will install all that I can get to work on this OS. PopOS.Eskimo.Com PopOS is a modern appearing OS based upon Ubuntu, and not just indirectly, it actually utilizes Ubuntu’s repositories in addition to it’s own. The Desktops presently available on it are Gnome and Mate, though Gnome is a special edition known as Sparkle, and it does not operate properly with X2go. Presently X2go and ssh are the only two access methods. I am working on the others. Rocky8.Eskimo.Com Rocky8 is a RedHat derived operating system very similar to Centos before Centos was absorbed, and ruined, by Redhat. While Centos support, with the exception of Centos9 is going away on June 30th, 2024, and CentOS9 is not usable because of the deletion of NIS by RedRat which is necessary to our organization, Rocky8 will be supported for security updates through May of 2029, thus provides us a means of continuing to offer a Redhat based environment for another five years.
Ubuntu.Eskimo.Com This is the latest stable Ubuntu release. It can be accessed graphically using x2go and the Mate Desktop. The native Unity desktop is a compositing desktop which is incompatible with x2go. This machine is equipped with many applications including a huge number of games, a rich assortment of development tools and computer programming languages, a huge assortment of Office productivity software, many scientific, electronic, and educational tools. Zorin.Eskimo.Com Zorin is a Ubuntu derived operating system. It combines the eye candy of some other Ubuntu flavors such as Mint, with the security awareness and up to date nature of Ubuntu providing a really superb server environment. This machine is our best equipped server. It has the full Ubuntu Studio Suite, a very large assortment of development tools, language packs for all supported languages, many games, both Libre and Caligra Office Suites, and much more. X2go is supported on this machine.
Crontab access, batch, and background jobs are allowed on all of our servers. Most have unrestricted outbound access with the exception of kali owing to high abuse potential for tools that exist on it.
Remote terminal access is available via ssh. Remote Destkop is available via X2go and on most servers also via RDP and VNC. Destkop choices on most machines include Mate, Gnome, KDE Plasma, XFCE, LDXE and LDQT.
