It obviously won’t work for everyone, but for remote access I’ve been very impressed with waypipe. I use it to pull windows from headless machines onto my main workstation, like X forwarding.

I’d like something for persistence, like wprs, but it’s not quite there yet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Safety_Amendment#Platforms_affected https://www.esafety.gov.au/about-us/industry-regulation/social-media-age-restrictions/which-platforms-are-age-restricted

eSafety does not have a formal role in declaring which services are age-restricted social media platforms. In the absence of any rules made by the Minister of Communications specifying a service is either an age-restricted social media platform or not an age-restricted social media platform, any determination that a service is or is not an age-restricted social media platform is a matter for the court.

Services which do not currently meet the definition of ‘age-restricted social media platform’ should routinely self-assess, including when introducing a new social feature or function or when observing changes in the ways existing and new account holders are using their service.

So technically they need to self-assess based on the legislation, but based on the published lists I really doubt they have anything to worry about.

There’s still a few of us out here using ROPs and texture units

I try to use firejail on nixos when I can’t do something in the build sandbox.

It’s painful, and I’m always on the lookout for something better. I’d at least like a portal-ish system where I can easily add things to a sandbox while it’s running.

Edit: if anyone has any issues or discussions about this I’d like to contribute.

I thought I saw it as far back as simcopter

Strange, I’ve never seen that. Have you rebooted the system to make sure it has nothing to do with open files?

I did find one thread that seems related:

btdu is an excellent tool for finding out what’s taking up space in btrfs

Sorry for the duplicate replies. Lemmy server drama…

That’s a tricky one if you’re getting no info from the kernel. I think the reply above about system instability under load sounds promising. Throttling things down to test seems like a good idea.

Were you running dmesg on another screen or over ssh or something? I’d look in journalctl -b-1 after a reboot.

Is it completely frozen or does it respond to pings etc?

Unfortunately X forwarding doesn’t work (as far as I can tell) with vulkan.

What I’ve been doing is using waypipe (which seems very stable), with xwayland-satellite (which is not so stable) on the remote end.

I’d also love persistent sessions, so I’ve been following wprs, but it doesn’t seem to support GPU drawing at all.

Lots of interesting tech, but it’s still pretty immature.

export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1

Like with X it’s not guaranteed to be that value, but same idea.

Doesn’t fdroid build everything from source (in the main repo)? There’s no way Google would allow them to do that with their own developer keys.

What constitutes proof? What kinds of questions can you answer with data? When do we consider a pattern of behavior to represent the existence of some entity?

Any recommended reading for someone who’s never formally studied philosophy?

It’s actually possible in a way:

But you necessarily need to limit the devices and operating systems that are allowed. No custom ROMs, no root access, etc.

It’s bullshit and breaks open computing as a concept.

I don’t disagree exactly, but I’d argue that you’re contributing to the project even if you’re just reporting bugs or helping others with it on e.g. Lemmy.

I could see avoiding all of that pragmatically in order to use some obscure, critical software, but not something you use every day and for which there are reasonable alternatives.

It’s kind of absurd. When you buy a TV, the bloated adware at least helps lower the price. Imagine paying extra for it.

Probably not what you’re looking for, but it just occured to me that Ted Lasso might be the closest modern show to this sort of cosy/wholesome British sitcom.

Also if you want something really on the nose, I seem to remember enjoying Rev:

Edit: bonus recommendation for The Royle Family

Fair enough, most of that isn’t something a user should have to worry about.

VT is just Virtual Terminals. You always have one of them active, and in most distros you can switch to others by Ctrl-Alt-F1 through F12. In some distos it’s just Alt-F1.

So if you press Ctrl-Alt-F2 you should be brought to a text login. For crazy historical reasons you may have to either press Ctrl-Alt-F1 or Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get back to your usual graphical session.
