KDE Plasma 6.6 released in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 8 points 16 hours ago

Seems like it's part of the 6.6.0 release. Arch has it in testing at version 6.6.0 at least.

Make sure the fan is not full of dust. Clean it out if it is. Most systems shutdown/reboot if it gets overheated.

Discord is about to require age verification for everyone in c/news@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show
[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 6 points 1 week ago

Quote from the article:

the Discord team noted that all accounts will end up as teens by default, with various restrictions in place, unless you go through manual age verification processes.

I guess you are just restricted from viewing adult content it seems.

Workplace is forcing me to switch back to Windows :( in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 2 points 1 week ago

Nonsense, MS has an Intune client for Linux.

I know, I have used it. But it does not enforce any policies. Just tells you if you are compliant or not.

Too bad. Skill issue. They need to learn how to manage Linux just like any other new tech.

And that's my point. They could do it. Some do. But most companies, in my country at least, pick the easy solution, which is to not support Linux.

I think the problem with Linux in the workplace is that it's hard (read harder than Windows and MacOS) to setup to be managed devices. Especially if the company is a Microsoft shop to begin with. The IT security teams just don't know how to enforce the company policies on Linux machines. Enforce password policy, network credentials and managed apps. It easy with Intune for Windows and Mac. Much harder on Linux.

That's the reason I was given by my work place, when I was "forced" to switch from Linux to Windows.

Alternatives to Mattermost in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

There is also Nextcloud Talk, but it can be a bit overwhelming to set up (needs the high-performance backend for video and stuff). But, it's entirely self-hosted and has no user cap as far as I am aware.

Linux newbie needs help with solaar in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I'd check with other USB ports then. If the receiver is not even detected, it's often a defective USB port.

How important is a DE to you? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 63 points 2 weeks ago

What DE you like is very much dependant on your work flow and how well you can adjust to changes.

Personally, I love KDE Plasma. It's the right amount of "bling", bells, whistles, aestetic and settings for me. Gnome feels way to "simple" and XFCE feels reliable but old.

For me, the DE is often more important than the base underneath, but I do like my rolling release. :)

Which one are you? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 3 points 2 weeks ago

I'm probably in the 5-6 area. Maybe a toe into 7.

How many containers are you all running? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 3 points 2 weeks ago

I don't have access to my server right now, but it's around 20 containers on my little N100 box.

Nice documentation. Thanks for taking such well written notes. Starred.

Inside Denmark’s struggle to break up with Silicon Valley in c/linux@lemmy.ml

As a Dane, this has been frightening for years. I hope our government thinks of open source solutions, instead of just a european company over a US one.

Resolution restrictions on Plasma Wayland? (lemmy.linuxuserspace.show)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show to c/kde@lemmy.kde.social

Hi all.

Happy KDE Plasma user for a long time and I generally love the desktop experience. But I do have one small issue.

At work, I have 2x 4K displays. connected through a Dock. But in Plasma it's only able to give me around 1080p resolution on both of them. In contrast, the display manager SDDM and TTY displays 4k on each fine.

So am I missing a trick to get the max resolution in Plasma? My install is Arch Linux, kernel 6.4.12, Plasma 5.27, Wayland session.

I did install the displaylink AUR package, as I thought it might be the dock limiting the video output, but it isn't as TTY and SDDM seems to display it correctly.

Happy to hear any thoughts and any ideas. :)

EDIT: The screens turn on and work fine with 4K resolutions in a Plasma X11 session.

Using Linux in a Windows work environment (lemmy.linuxuserspace.show)
 

My work place is a Microsoft shop through and through, so all their stuff is based in Azure, Active Directory, Outlook, O365 and Citrix. And they provide my with a Windows laptop for work, which is really great.

The only issue I have with it, is the Windows part. So I took it upon myself to see if I can use a Linux install for work in a Windows environment. So I took my already installed private Linux laptop to work and it seemed to be going alright, expect that it's an old laptop at this point, so the GPU was not good enough to run the screens and the Bluetooth version was to old for the peripherals.

So this weekend I took the plunge. I cloned the Windows drive with CloneZilla (in case of emergency, you know) and installed Arch Linux on my work laptop as the only OS.

And so far, everything has worked. Except for 1 small detail that I totally forgot about! Printing. Specifically label printing, as we do ship some stuff around the country. The printer in question is a Zebra label printer G420-something and is set up on the internet Windows network at work.

I've been at work all day and I haven't been able to setup this printer at all.

This is mostly a rant and acknowledgement that running Linux in a Windows work environment is possible, but it's also a small whimper for help to see if anyone has managed to be able to connect to a network Windows printer.

I've setup a default Samba and Avahi system, but it won't "probe" for the printer. I don't know the exact name/hostname/IP of the printer either.

Lemmy Safety now supports cleaning local pict-rs storage from CSAM (github.com)
 

tværpostet fra: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/3076577

I posted the other day that you can clean up your object storage from CSAM using my AI-based tool. Many people expressed the wish to use it on their local file storage-based pict-rs. So I've just extended its functionality to allow exactly that.

The new lemmy_safety_local_storage.py will go through your pict-rs volume in the filesystem and scan each image for CSAM, and delete it. The requirements are

  • A linux account with read-write access to the volume files
  • A private key authentication for that account

As my main instance is using object storage, my testing is limited to my dev instance, and there it all looks OK to me. But do run it with --dry_run if you're worried. You can delete lemmy_safety.db and rerun to enforce the delete after (method to utilize the --dry_run results coming soon)

PS: if you were using the object storage cleanup, that script has been renamed to lemmy_safety_object_storage.py
