So it seems like the Archcraft Discord server has a Nazi problem. in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Never heard of ArchCraft before. No interest in it now.

elementary OS 8.1 Available Now in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I haven't tried ElementaryOS in years. It was always too opinionated for me.

But glad they are still releasing updated ISO's.

Linux is awesome at home, but aren't y'all forced to use Windows at work? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 3 points 3 weeks ago

I ran Linux at work up until recently where I found out that they are in the process of changing the network setup, so only systems with a valid certificate can access the network. And they have no plan to support Linux in that setup. So I was kind of forced to switch back to Windows, because my work requires that I can access the local network.

Other than that, I used Linux in a Microsoft Entra/Intune environment with Edge, Teams and Office 365 for a couple of years.

The (successful) end of the kernel Rust experiment in c/linux@lemmy.ml

This means that drivers written in Rust will have just a good a chance to be accepted as drivers written in C?

What folders do you make in addition to the default ones ? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 7 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I usually create ~/git/{github,gitlab,codeberg,AUR,etc} where I clone the git stuff I need.

The rest is usually handled by my nextcloud that creates the ~/Nextcloud folder.

I really dislike LLMs/AI but....... in c/homeassistant@lemmy.world
[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 19 points 4 weeks ago

I sometimes use LLM's to help me troubleshoot. I usually don't ask for solutions, but rather "what is wrong here?" type stuff.

has often saved me hours of troubleshooting, but it is occasionally wrong and sees flaws where there is none.

[Answered] Video players that look like IINA, or can? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 17 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Joke answer: get the IINA devs to release a Linux build.

More seriously: MPV is pretty close and might even be able to be configured to what you want. But seriously though. Sounds like you need/want exactly this UI, so you should ask the IINA devs to make a Linux build.

Does anyone know how to make the Arch text bigger? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Maybe the wiki has some useful information: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Linux_console#Fonts

Does anyone know how to make the Arch text bigger? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 8 points 1 month ago (6 children)

i just noticed that the “make text bigger” shortcut that works for my mac terminal didn’t work with arch

That's because in MacOS it's a terminal emulator, a GUI application with a CLI inside.

In Arch, if you didn't install a desktop environment, the terminal is the raw TTY, not an emulator, so it does not have reszing/zoom options.

But as @anon5621@lemmy.ml mentioned, you can set the font of the TTY to a bigger font using the setfont command.

Do people with newer pcs prefer rolling release? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 2 points 1 month ago

Good point. Yes. Small breakage means it's easier to fix. Although, the years I've run my rolling release system, I've had it break maybe one of two times. Easily fixed. Both of those was because there was a change that needed a manual intervention, which I did not read about until after, so those were my own fault.

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
