The Linux Thread - The Autist's OS of Choice

[analrapist]

To answer your question, yes, I like Guix, but it inspires a lot of hate in me. Other package managers seem extremely limited by comparison (seriously, requiring root just to upgrade *your user's* packages?), but to be fair, I haven't done much comparing recently.

As someone who was shocked by how much Gentoo "just works", you make Guix sound like Gentoo for masochists. Given how many times I've written my own Linux distro, I am now more committed to eventually running it.

And now, a public service announcement:

Kind of ridiculous how you have to set a window rule on KWin just to get OSD volume notification to be near the bottom of the screen like on Windows. The default placement of it is almost at the middle of the screen, super inconvenient esp for games. I was able to do it with this rule. Tweaked it a bit for my monitor resolution. It does limit the OSD notification to your primary monitor but I am fine with that personally.

I was also able to port this plasmoid from KDE 4 to KDE 6 over the weekend as I've been trying to learn QML and I've found porting to be a good way to learn in general:

Widgets were so much fun in the Win7 days, too bad Microjeet saw no fun in them and removed them in the same Windows version. I want my desktop to actually be of some use other than the z=0 of my monitor.

This is why I was so hyped for Active Desktop back in the day but holy fuck we did not have enough CPU to cash that check.

I get the sense that any $DISTRIBUTION I use would immediately become "$DISTRIBUTION for masochists". My usage is not particularly typical. At least with Guix I get the sense that there is progress being made.

The instructions are here:

https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/bridge/debian-ubuntu/

Assuming that it is publicly available, you would definitely want to set up the Tor repos to get semi-up-to-date versions of Tor stuff. That's here:

https://support.torproject.org/little-t-tor/getting-started/installing/#debian-ubuntu

(But you would replace the 'DISTRIBUTION' in the sources.list with the equivalent Ubuntu version for your version of Linux Mint, not whatever Mint calls its variant of Ubuntu internally- i.e. 'noble' for the latst version)

What do I type in place of ORPort and ServerTransportListenAddr?

 

[Orcinus Orca]

Anyone know how to troubleshoot this?

That is surprising. I took most of them for typical centre-left/left types.

nah most of them are the anticapilatist type, anywhere i go, at the conferences, lug, any major events here, i get anti AI, anti capitalist, very feminist, and woke for the younger generation, discourse

If they are young, that is pretty normal tbh. If/when they get a job the quickly changes. I was a total shit-lib lefty until I worked for myself.

It's right there, you're not able to bind to 0.0.0.0, i.e. all IP addresses on the box, and on a low port to boot. You could bind to a specific one or you have permissions problems. What might be doing that varies. apparmor, selinux, binary capabilities... (Or 443 is already taken as it often is, or....)

I think part of the reason was people kept doomposting about how they were a security nightmare and instead of fixing them they just removed them entirely
