I think vim (and other text editors with vim bindings). I’ve gotten so accustomed to the vim way of doing things that I can’t go back

Yep. But this isn’t even the greens party in the picture. It’s “Die Linke” a leftist party. You can see it by a logo on his shirt. I hope they manage to come into the parliament.

My mother uses some software that runs in the browser for her shop. It can print out receipts and scan items. To do these things it has a small “sattelite” application that runs on the system and interacts with the printer and scanner. This software only runs on Windows and Linux doesn’t have drivers for the scanner.

When I switched her over to Linux and found this out in the process I wanted to stop, give up and install windows.

But then I had a stupid idea. I could run the sattelite program in a Windows VM and pass through the USB devices for receipt printer and scanner. The webapp uses requests to localhost:9998 to communicate with the sattelite so I set up a apache server that proxies these requests into the VM. I also prevented the VM from acessing the Interner so Windows doesn’t update and screw everything up.

And it works. It has been in use for a week now and I’ve heard no complaints. I’m just praying to god it doesn’t break

My bf is currently on holiday with his parents and he is not out yet so I couldn’t come with and now I really miss him and can’t smooch him TwT

I am now all-in on bcachefs. I don’t like btrfs, cause you still sometimes read about people loosing their data. I know that might happen with bcachefs too since it’s early days still but fuck it. I like the risk.

Filesystem level compression and encryption are so nice to have.

Depends on if you want to work with existing code. LLMs tend to be good at generating small code snippets but not good at understanding / finding errors in existing code

You can do

ps aux | grep -i <part of process name>

and the PID is in the second column of the output. However for this use case I recommend a process manager like htop or btop

It’s easy. Just open up a terminal and type

kill $PID

(Replace the $PID with the process id of the process) if you don’t know the process id you can do

killall process_name

If these don’t work you can add a -9 to banish them and give them no chance to resist

I disagree. Have you ever updated your Android or Iphone to a newer version of the OS? Did it seem complex there? I’d say no and on Linux Desktop it’s not different.

What? This meme is about a transaction between two trans people but that doesn’t mean all Paypal users are trans. But I agree that PayPal is proprietary software and should be banished. I will delete my account now. I planned to do it for a while but haven’t got around to it yet

My opinion. The Israel situation is being popularized because they want to divide and distract the people from the issues in their own countries caused by unregulated capitalism

Flatpak is good for chat apps and proprietary apps which you don’t want to have full access to your system

Me here playing VR games on Linux: wut?

Kinda weird to call it a Bluetooth client. The only Bluetooth clients would be the devices and even that is not entirely correct since Bluetooth doesn’t follow a client/server model. I would rather call it a Bluetooth manager

The public library in my city uses OpenSuse

It isn’t released yet but you can compile it yourself as the source code is available

German Grammar Fun Fact 2: There’s a differen formal form of “you” in German. When you speak to your friend you say “du” / “dich” but when speaking to a teacher or a business associate you say “sie”
