  • Ƕy do you type like þat?

  • Most of the ones out there are weird, anti-configurable systems like mobile phone OS.

    The only ones that really seem like "the future" in my eyes are Nix and Guix.

    And I'm not going to use those because I already have a good setup with my conventional distro (Debian). Anything less than absolute perfection will not get me to switch.

    Nix is imperfect because it uses systemd. Guix is imperfect because it has a smaller selection of packages, and a more difficult configuration system.

    Qibli and Winter's dynamic

  • It doesn't always, but if you see it downloading a package called "linux" or "linux-6.14.1" (those numbers may be different), that's the kernel.

  • It used to be a whole weird wide world. Then the corpos got a hold of it, and now it's 5 giant spyware websites filled with screenshots of the other 4. Say what you will about the old web (NO HTTPS!) but at least it was human.

  • I do not know what is going on, and I do want to find out

  • Does it happen at the same time as kernel updates?

  • The human brain is truly a strange machine!

    I used to have a synced framerate and AR capability, where I could project my thoughtscreen into the air, or onto a wall. I know what you may be asking, but no, other people could not see it.

    Then I lost it over time, seems like one of the OS updates didn't support my hardware.

    VSCodium can't save file if it needs root privileges (Linux Flatpak)

    cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/35352374

    If I open a text file that needs root privileges to modify, I get this error:

     undefined
        
    Failed to save 'this_file': Insufficient permissions. Select 'Retry as Sudo' to retry as superuser.
    
    
      

    That's fine, that's expected.

    But when I click on "Retry as Sudo", I get this error:

     undefined
        
    Failed to save 'this_file': Unable to find pkexec or kdesudo.
    
      

    This happens though pkexec is installed on my machine, at /usr/bin/pkexec; and I granted VSCodium access to it through Flatseal. How do I fix this?

    Can my legs become asymmetrical just from walking?

    For example, if whenever I step from a standstill, I always use my right leg. Will my legs become asymmetrical?

    Firefox profile directory doesn't exist?

    Supposedly that is the path to my Firefox profile directory. But when I click "Open Directory", nothing happens.

    When I access that file path, the directory (k45qdkms.default-release) does not exist.

    Encrypted home partition doesn't decrypt on boot

    cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/32235573

    I just installed a Debian 13 Trixie system on my laptop. I have 5 GPT partitions on 1 terabyte SSD and NO LVM!

    GRUB works fine, it loads the kernel, then I enter the password to decrypt my root partition. It decrypts correctly, then hangs for 1 minute 30 seconds.

    After that, I get this error:

     undefined
        
    [ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-mapper-sda4_crypt.device - /dev/mapper/sda4_crypt.

    Timeshift crashed my desktop!

    cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/31907670

    When I use the Timeshift GUI to create a snapshot, it takes a very long time to complete. If I click Cancel, my desktop environment crashes and I get kicked to a black screen or a login prompt.

    When I use Timeshift CLI, it creates the snapshot in less than a second, but the command waits for a long time afterward. However, it can be safely interrupted with control-C.

    Timeshift is in BTRFS mode.

    Can't select multiple tabs

    When I click on a tab while holding Ctrl or Shift, it just switches me into that tab. On other browsers (Firefox, Vivaldi) it selects the tab instead. If I want to move tabs from one window into another, I have to move them one. at. a. time.

    How do I fix this? I am on version 1.69.168 on Linux from the Flatpak.

    Is it good practice to run a system without a syslog daemon?

    If I'm using Arch or another minimal distro, is it a good idea to install a syslog daemon? Or can I go without?
