I am still hoping it will hit 10% market share within my life time.

Do we really want that?

We have it pretty good right now. I would actually say we’re living in a golden age of desktop Linux: there’s constant innovation, good support, you get to do pretty much everything you need, while flying under the radar.

Linux has won the majority of the industry (servers, mobile etc.) so it’s not like it has anything left to prove.

If it starts getting noticeable on the desktop I fear we’re just gonna get negative attention. Users who take and not contribute, because Windows had taught them to be entitled. Unwanted attention from Microsoft, who I bet are not going to be doing nice things once they start getting paranoid about it.

I really don’t think that large companies like Adobe will care about Linux even at 10% and even if they did, they are a super toxic company nowadays, the least we get to interact with them the better.

Last I read about it it required connecting for 6-7 hours continuously on 32bit systems, and it’s unknown how long it would take on 64bit.

You can get a small Bluetooth keyboard. They make them really tiny, for this exact use case (smartphones and tablets).

Since this is a Surface you can probably find one that’s been specifically designed to integrate with it (act as a cover).

glib2-devel is available in Manjaro.

glib2-devel is present on all Manjaro branches.

glib2-devel is a core package and pacman should be able to install it directly. Have you updated your package mirrors and upgraded the system since you installed the machine?

Alright, have fun with that. 🙂

If you mean to do that in the public DNS records please note that public records that point at private IPs are often filtered by ISP’s DNS servers because they can be used in web attacks.

If you don’t use your ISP’s DNS as upstream, and the servers you use don’t do this filtering, and you don’t care about the attacks, carry on. But if you use multiple devices or have multiple users (with multiple devices each) eventually that domain will be blocked for some of them.

Generally speaking, a subdomain like jellyfin.myhome.com will work out much better than a subpath like myhome.com/jellyfin.

Very few web apps can deal well (or at all) with being used under a subpath.

It’s not. Series X and series S use native Bluetooth and work with xpadneo. Older controllers use their own proprietary receiver that needs to be plugged into the machine and work with regular xpad.

Probably a better idea would be to leave it archived. Whoever wants to take over can fork it and prove themselves by showing their work.

The xz debacle has shown that there are risk involved in an established developer endorsing an unknown one.

optical media doesn’t last that long (5-10 years) and is easily damaged

I beg to differ. I’ve been backing things up to optical for 25 years now with minimal issues. CDs could be easily scratched but it hasn’t been the case for DVD and BR.

M-DISK uses in-organic substances that make the discs mostly immune to exposure but it’s a more recent invention. Proper storage and handling still goes a long way towards protecting discs even if they’re not in-organic.

I really don’t see the issue. If the work account uses Google or Microsoft I use their respective web apps and export an ICS link to see the blocked slots in my own personal calendar.

For my own personal calendar I use CalDAV, which is widely supported, and an app that can import ICS links. (Self-hosted Radicale server and the Calengoo app for mobile and desktop, for the curious.)

A good overview of the circumstances of the recent Chevron decision.

Please note the final paragraph. Koch’s goal is exactly this: bringing cases in front of the Supreme Court that, if won, would cause grave disturbances.

They’re a very common form of personal backup. A few discs and an USB writer and you get a very long lasting medium for passwords, personal files, family photos etc.

Can also archive multimedia of course, the smallest discs are 25 GB and can pack a few films, a season of a series, or a lot of music.

• What does “authentication” mean if there’s no server?
• How do browsers behind NAT connect to each other?
• How does it verify that the other chat partner is who they say they are?
• Why use this and not Simplex?

Just a note, the US military completed the phase-out of floppy disks in 2019.

Bold of you to assume Ubuntu was a recent version.

Don’t worry, Ubuntu was probably Lucid. 🤭

Medical environments are notorious for inept tech skills and slow technology adoption.

SIMs are standalone embedded computers (they run Java!) that handle the cellular connections one their own and communicate with the phone over a standard pin-out and protocol.

This way the phones are somewhat insulated from advances in cellular technology and it’s one of the reasons mobile phones have been able to evolve so smoothly from feature phones to smart phones.
