Valve Engineer Mike Blumenkrantz Hoping To Accelerate Wayland Protocol Development
  • I haven't switched to Wayland yet cuz I'm stuck with a GT 710, which only supports the 470 series driver, which... Doesn't really run Wayland. Hopefully some day, I'll get my hands on a Radeon GPU and then fully migrate to Wayland, cuz my laptop already rocks it with Sway and, no complains at all

    (I know about it having EGLStreams support which only GNOME uses, but it has no GBM support, which... well, all other compositors uses)

  • I tried to selfhost Nextcloud at work
  • AIO has a updater but it is manual by default You need to enable automatic updates yourself, which.... Is done through a bash script you need to add yourself into the system crontab

    And not only that, the instructions do say things could break and even suggests setting up backups for such

  • Alpine as a desktop OS
  • Nouveau sadly doesn't work for me, it's abysmally bad performance even on X11

    And the new compat layer is new for me, might give it a try

  • FOMO The entire reason why people buy is the thought they could sell for more to people that also want to buy to sell for more

  • No, it's a steam item miner

    EDIT: to explain, clicking the banana gives you random "Steam Inventory" items, that players can sell on the marketplace The entire thing is just money laundry

  • total programmer meme
  • Nope, it has the RJ45 in the side and the RJ11 in the back

  • total programmer meme
  • "I miss those old ports" is what I'd say, but my laptop has 'em :3

  • Mozilla leadership
  • NP! I'd argue Ladybird as well, but given how much donations they're taking from corporate already.... Doubt they'll keep as a 'for the people' browser

  • Alpine as a desktop OS
  • That is fake https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=glibc*&branch=edge&repo=&arch=&maintainer= I have felt for it too, but glibc-full doesn't exist I have found a package on github though, that claims to add glibc, but whenever I tried to use it to, for example, run the nvidia installer, the entire thing just segfaults

  • total programmer meme
  • My laptop has a LED that lights up when the caps lock is on I installed a buzzer on it

  • total programmer meme
  • RJ45 and RJ11

  • total programmer meme
  • Unlock the password manager

  • Alpine as a desktop OS
  • I have been using Alpine as my main desktop system

    If you need gaming, or you have a Nvidia GPU, your idea is dead on the water, not having glibc makes nvidia drivers impossible to use.

    But that aside, the desktop feels snappy, the system is extremely small so knowing exactly how everything is running/working, and OpenRC is a breath of fresh air compared to the 'do everything' SystemD. All pieces of Alpine just does one thing, which makes things really predictable.

    Albeit, my path isn't without hiccups, for example X11 made suspend when the lid closes outright crash X11, so was forced into Wayland And Pipewire, I have to restart it whenever I switch from the computer speakers to headphones or vice-versa

    You'll find some small bugs and small issues, but if you really want a more spartan and simplistic way to handle your linux box, it is amazing

    Also, APK is the best package manager, I felt in love with it

  • Mozilla leadership
  • From what I heard, Servo is working on one

  • I redid the meme with what hurts me
  • If the language can just break during runtime because of code indentation, I can't really trust it
