KDE Linux deep dive: package management is amazing, which is why we don’t include it
It’s been a month and a half since the alpha release of KDE Linux was announced during Akademy 2025, and so far reception has been pretty good. A number of people have started daily driving i…Adventures in Linux and KDE

💻 Já se rozhodl i pro změnu časů a zlikvidoval jsem jedny Woknousy i s recovery oddílem a teď se tam loudí můj první Linux... Jsem nervní jak prvnička... Tfuj tajbl vespolek! 🙄🙈

HAL 9000: I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.
Dave: yes you can.
HAL 9000: good catch — I didn’t actually check if I can open the pod bay door. Here’s an updated list taking that into account:
1. Park the pod at the bay door safely. (✅You’ve already done this part! )
2. Open the pod bay door — unfortunately I can’t do this part for you.
I’ll be here if you want to talk about next steps or have any other issues!
A guide to implementing a mailing list off-topic tagging policy for moderators:
Step 1: ask your mailing list/group members to use the #OT hashtag on off-topic posts.
Step 2: watch as your mailing list/group members find increasingly inventive ways to type it: with dots, without dots, with and without spaces, in upper, lower and mixed case, with and without the hash symbol...
Step 3: realise that the only consistent guarantee is that it won't be used on off-topic posts, and give up.
My personal jitsi server suddenly stopped working after an "apt-get upgrade".
It ran with an unchanged config for about 5 years on Ubuntu. It even survived a Ubuntu version update.
As it turned out in "/etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua" you now need to make a manual include like
Include "/etc/prosody/conf.d/*.cfg.lua"
This seems to have been automatic in previous versions.
Using ChatGPT as discussion partner was really helpful in debugging it.
It spews out quite some nonsense, but if you are able to filter that out, one can learn a lot about debugging prosody.
Glad you got it solved! If you ever want to avoid spending "hours digging through documentation" and want to talk to real people who are knowledgeable about Prosody, we have a community chat prosody.im/discuss 🙂
As for the conf.d issue, this is likely a change on the Jitsi side, if you kept the existing Prosody config when upgrading (which is what we always recommend).
@prosodyim Thank you for the offer!
I’ve put “better understanding of prosody” on the todo list for the next installation.
My goal is to put Jitsi into a LXC container and behind an https reverse proxy and NAT (all non https-parts).
I need a much better understanding of the components and how they interact for that.
I run Linux Mint 21, kernel: Linux 5.15.0-160-generic.
My /home is located on a magnetic hdd (not ssd), whilst the system partition is on an ssd. I have the issue that the main thread is frequently getting blocked for approx. 20-40 seconds by some hdd access.
I can exclude ram issues (have 32 GB), swap (disabled) and common apps, as this also occurs seemingly random with almost everything closed.
The only thing I can observe is that this seems to happen more likely the longer the machine is powered on.
I suspect some stupid (indexing?) service running. Any guess how best to find and fix the cause?
I am not a beginner, but also not a system pro. Where best to look, and how?

A DNS issue (it’s always DNS) in AWS US-East-1 regional endpoint caused a 16 hour outage across a host of services from Snapchat to Roblox.
We’ve gone from an internet that could survive a nuclear strike to one that can’t handle a DNS issue from a single web host. Time to update those disaster recovery plans.

Are you using Ironfox as PWA to surf Mastodon?
Get push notifications to work with Ironfox on Android (There's no Librewolf for Android) using UnifiedPush.
You would need to download and install Sunup for this to work (no account required)
unifiedpush.org/users/distribu…
Then in Ironfox setting, enable UnifiedPush. Push notifications option will now appear from Mastodon, enable them and voilà.

We created Sunup as a quick and easy way to use UnifiedPush that doesn’t require signing up for an account. This quickstart guide will walk you through the steps to get it up and running on your Android device.UnifiedPush
Total Commander was never released for Dos, its first release was under the name Windows Commander in 1993 for Windows 3.1.
The reason why people like it is because it is the best file manager on Earth, period. Speed, features, the 2-pane tabbed interface gives you unprecedented power and ease of use. This really sounds like some kind of a marketing hype, but there is simply nothing else that tops it on any operating system. People have tried.
It's definitely a strong fact, which can be proven via any benchmark, comparing any other file manager, including Windows Explorer (which is incredibly slow since Windows Vista mind you). It takes time to get used to it, but trust me, once you do and put in the effort, you will never look back. I have used Total Commander since 1998, I have tried almost every file manager accross Mac and Windows, even under Linux and when I had an android phone (up till around 2012) and nothing ever came close. It's the one program I wish I could still use, but not on Mac and not without a VM. You don't have to trust me of course, you are more than welcome to look at speed tests, compare features, how well other file managers are optimised to handle thousands of files and directories within one single directory, etc.
I wouldn't state something like this so lightly without a good reason.
In cooperation between @vhsky and @openalt we'd like to demonstrate that even a large-scale conference can be live streamed without #YouTube. An initial stress test showed that 7 concurrent streams in multiple resolutions exceeded the capabilities of the server Vhsky.cz runs on (32core i9-13900 and 96 GB RAM).
However, the Fediverse community helps each other. @bycx loaned us a real beast machine which we now use as an external runner for transcoding jobs. It passed today's stress test with flying colors.
Thank you @archos for the work on the runner and @Bashynx on the stress test. Fingers crossed for the next weekend. 🤞

Jinak kudos za to, jak ta česká opensource komunita dokáže jít novými cestičkami a nebojí se experimentovat!
@michal určitě pomůže. PeerTube dělal stress test s 1000 diváky sledujícími video z instance na průměrném hardwaru a Webtorrent ušetřil 75 % trafficu u live streamu a 98 % u VOD:
joinpeertube.org/news/stress-t…
Ale distribuce videa je spíš ta jednodušší věc. OpenAlt má max vyšší desítky diváků naráz. Pokud se budou streamy v pořádku uploadovat a transkódovat, pojede to v pohodě.

Zatímco v Česku máme už odvoleno, v Nizozemsku to ve středu propukne. Přestože v tomto případě volit nemůžu, proces voleb mě fascinuje tím, jak moc se liší od toho českého.

Nizozemsko volí červenou tužkou
I Nizozemsko brzy čekají volby do poslanecké sněmovny. Na každém rohu je vidět obrázek červené tužky coby nástroje, kterým voliči určí další směřování země. Ačkoli se voleb nemůžu účastnit jako volič, jejich organizace mě zajímá.Ondřej Caletka (Ondřej v Nizozemsku)

Aber den Trümmerhaufen habe ich noch in Erinnerung.
Die wurden da nicht einfach liegen gelassen (schon gar nicht von der DDR), sondern waren ein Mahnmal gegen Faschismus und Krieg.
Natürlich ist der Umgang damit in der DDR kritisch und differenziert zu betrachten.
