New video!

So you're new to Linux, and you're wondering what the what is an ISO file? Or maybe you just don't know why you can't DD a CD?

Here's a video that explains a bit about ISO files, and how to create flash media from them.

Linux boot media need not be tricky! In today's episode, I'll talk about four ways to flash an ISO from Windows (and other systems too). I know a lot of you are switching to Linux because of Micros...

It's weird that this happens in computing discourse, because relying 100% on one thing always leads to tears eventually.

Even weirder when it happens in FOSS circles, as FOSS is supposed to be all about alternatives and freedom of choice. It's like a few people actively want there to be monopolies? (Assuming it's not people from a project shilling for themselves of course.)

#curl's 265th command line option is called --skip-existing. Lets you completely skip a download if there is a local file present already.

github.com/curl/curl/pull/1399…


curl: add --skip-existing by bagder · Pull Request #13993 · curl/curl

With this option, the entire download is skipped if the selected target filename already exists when the operation is about to begin. Also works fine with "globs". code documentation test cases...

Thanks to @FluidEscence, I just learned you can customize touchpad gestures. Windows has presets like volume or switching desktops, but you can also bind any hotkey to a gesture. Right now, a 3 finger tap restarts NVDA, just as a test. I never knew this was possible. makeuseof.com/windows-11-touch…

Windows 11 comes with lots of handy touchpad gestures, and you can even customize them to do your bidding.

IF YOU ARE EUROPEAN HOLY FUCK PLEASE SUPPORT THIS

"The Open-Source AMD GPU Linux Kernel Graphics Driver Nears 5.8 Million Lines"

Insane is a word that comes to my mind.

That's about 33 times the size of curl - for a set of drivers.

The Open-Source AMD GPU Linux Kernel Graphics Driver Nears 5.8 Million Lines

Last August I wrote an article about the open-source AMD GPU kernel driver crossing 5 million lines of code -- including their overzealous header files -- and following the recent Linux 6.

Starting now, #curl shows extended help for a given command line option if you write it after --h. Like "curl -h --location" or "curl -h -O"

If you’re a feed reader developer/contributor and want to help thousands of sites with misconfigured server caching reduce their hosting costs:

  • Support conditional-GET with Last-Modified headers.
  • Support conditional-GET with ETag headers.
  • Support the RSS ttl element in feed markup.
  • Support the syndication module in feed markup.
  • Request compressed formats (gzip and Brotli; Zstd is also becoming available now). libcurl should have support, if you’re using that.

Feeds are some of the most-requested pages on a lot of sites, and full-text feeds are often rather large. The feed-paging module helps but not everyone aggressively pages since client support is limited.

I like the idea of having one feed containing everything I’ve written, even if it isn’t the default feed. A single-file archive of my site optimized for feed readers. But if my default feed becomes paginated (the Brotli-compressed version is approaching 300kb; I’ll paginate it once it crosses 500kb), I’ll want my alternate unpaginated full-text feed to have very conservative refreshing.

I imagine a hypothetical future in which I host my site on a single-board computer on a home internet connection, and I build my site for that use-case.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this extraordinary song by the UK folk group the Young’uns. In stunning style, it tells the true story of a young man in the anti-fascist protest in London in 1936. It makes me ask myself each time, how much courage do I have?

and a one and a two.
---

This is my next attempt to post a thing through the trailers account.

I am aiming for …

  1. a title here, which is ‘and a one and a two’.
  2. The content, of course, which is what you should be reading now.
  3. The link at the bottom shouldn’t have a question mark in it, because the permalink should be short,
  4. and finally we need audio to work as well.

This is largely because the trailers account will be posting … well. Trailers. and the trailers are audio things.
