Stuff I never thought I’d say Sunday
  • no, dont put your finger in there - we have 2 girls

  • This week in KDE: everything, I think
  • well the "new desktop edit mode" was refining the user experience and fixing bugs

  • We are now running Lemmy 0.19.5
  • Partly this is because of an issue with postgres memory that happened before I started the actual upgrade.

    What's the postgres envs?

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • come on, clicked through and auto logged in to slashdot...

    but my last comment was (oh shit) 17 years ago

  • Google is killing infinite scroll on search results
  • I suspect it is so that they can place ads / AI at the top of every page

  • Update to 0.19.5 planned for this weekend
  • good luck, now that you have done the hard[er] parts the lemmy update should go easy

  • Pity, really.
  • I must say it felt weird when I had the first of my staff with a 2000 birthdate, that young falla is now an assistant regional branch manager

  • Pity, really.
  • But they must only be like 8 years old. What are they doing down loading warez

  • Google Chrome's Death Of Manifest V2 Has Arrived
  • come on, Brodie is not that bad

    ps (i can't remember whos channel i saw this on) If you have 2 videos with the same content and the same title but one has that style of thumbnail, the one with that style of thumbnail will get promoted by the algorithm. If I remember correctly it was something huge on the engagement

  • I was explaining to my daughter about the differences between Gimp and Photoshop and saw that Adobe had a page that claimed to compare the two. It never compares the two. It barely mentions Gimp.
  • I was usig both in the early 2000's, at that stage there wasn't too much difference in the UIs. Gimp just seems to have stuck (more or less) with mid 2000's design concepts in the UI

  • Expecting
  • what have you done

  • This week in KDE: Plasma 6.1 cleanups
  • Thanks for the hard work

    I can use remot desk tops like nomachine realvnc etc which is nice

    The only problem is that (only once so far) when using NoMachine I ended up with no display on the desktop I was remoted into after the TV went to sleep. To confound the issue it is a VM on proxmox with passed through iGPU

  • best resources and tips for a newbie to linux?
  • A little tongue in cheek and showing my age alittle ...

    but there are some good youtube channels around, then there are resources like Arch's wiki and for the hard liner there is the Gentoo doc's

  • [Cross post] Canvas in 30 days 👀
  • maybe push the !newzealand@lemmy.nz a little higher and rotate the kiwi fruit kiwi?

  • what's your current linux distro?
  • I'm currently on Neon on the desktop (and macOS on the mac). On the servers it nearly all debian and a couple of BSDs

    Over the last almost 25 years i've almost exclusively ran KDE when not being stuck with windows (for various reasons). Ive heard good things about Arch, but I'm getting far too old to be bothered with a semi-complex install (yes I have run Gentoo for several years, so I think it is an age thing).

  • Let's Try BSD, Part 1 of 7: Introduction (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFlyBSD)
  • I have 3 *BSD vms on proxmox, OpnSense and TrueNAS as well as a GhostBSD desktop for 'play'. The TrueNAS started as a bare metal install and is now in it'd 3rd 4th server

    I also have 2 Macs in the house...

    So I guess *BSD is well represented here, looking forward to the read

  • ‘It’s God’s plan’: Mike Lindell intends to ‘deputize’ Trump voters for Election Day
  • Well that was almost as much of a rant as that other fellow.

  • ALIEN is a CUDA-powered artificial life simulation program.
  • Yeah it would be nice to have other platforms intel integrated graphics and Macs would be nice

    Replace old IBM hardware

    Hi all

    I'm looking to replace my old IBM M3 an M4 servers with something more modern

    Use case:

    • Proxmox:
      • OPNsense
      • TrueNAS
      • Plex/Jellyfin
      • Reverse proxy
      • Web servers for blogs etc
      • QBT
      • Nextcloud
      • IoT/home automation
      • A heap of linux VMs/Containers of odds and ends
      • Docker
        • arr stack
        • Dashboards
      • etc

    Maybe replace the 3/4s dead laptop that is currently driving the lounge TV as well

    I'm looking to hopefully replace the diskshelf at the same time and have a mix of sata and sas drives (I can carry over the HBAs for the sas)

    I've not built a pc for nigh on 15 years so I'm a tad out of the loop.

    From reading it looks like intel may be the best route and I was thinking of something like:

    • Core i5 12400 or Core i5 14400
    • B760M DS3H AX mATX or B660M Pro RS

    I'm open to thoughts and ideas of what id doable

    Edit: The IBM M4 runs E5-2650 v2 and 96GB ram

    The M3 runs dual xeon 5xxx and has about 60BG ram and is only used for testing/play and is seldom powered up

    Name that song

    Credit to @philo@lemmy.ca for the idea Edit 1:

    Hint:

    !

    Edit 2:

    Thanks for all the guesses, the correct answer was The Sound of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel

    The price I have to pay for medical care

    After the post the other day , this is the price I have to pay for 2 visits to the EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, about 10 to 12 X-rays, a CT scan, two nights in hospital (so far) and all the drugs

    Glad to not live in the ‘land of the free’

    Best view in the city?

    The saga continues from my misspent Friday night

    Managed to put my shoulder back out on Sunday night so spent it all in the ED. Ortho now think I’ll need surgery to stabilise the Bankart fracture I also sustained

    The currently want me to stay in as there is a high chance I’ll pop it back out again

    In memory

    The ‘old man’ passed away just before Christmas 3 years ago. This is a bottle I bought him for his 65th with plans to share it with him on his 75th - that would have been this year

    Here’s to lost friends and family that we can’t share today with.
