I'm looking for a remote Rust/Elixir role (EU-friendly timezones, US East is ok).

I have 7 years of #rustlang, 9 years of #elixirlang, 20+ years of #linux.

I have over 20 years of experience as a professional developer, and I've been working remotely for 12 years, during which I helped US and EU companies build reliable software.

On the side, I've been developing #asciinema, the best tool to record and stream your terminal sessions. I talk about it in the context of Rust in this #RustaceanStation interview: rustacean-station.org/episode/…

My current contract ends soon, so this is a great time to talk! I'm open to both full-time roles and short term contracts.

Boost please!

yeah, it is lacking. But hardware tokens like Yubikey are still somehow supported. Much worse is support of key protected by #TPM2 chip. That is like non-existent on #Linux. Even though every Red Hatter has laptop with it's support. Why do you need token, when your device has secure storage built-in?


Using an electronic signature stored on a hardware token is still a pretty sad story on #Linux. It took some figuring to make it available in NSS, but it's still broken in Papers and Okular and doesn't work at all in #Flatpak. 😞



Today we are thankful for each and every contributor to the Free and Open Source software that makes GNOME possible. ❤️ And of course, we’re extra grateful for the contributors to GNOME projects, tirelessly working to build and improve our diverse and sustainable personal computing ecosystem.

Re last: That's why I'm constantly preaching about it. All of you, "let's ditch #Windows for #Linux" enthusiasts, automatically exclude blind and low-vision people which are already vulnerable on the job and education market. #Accessibility


RE: tutoteket.no/@forteller/115561…

When you use #Linux, you're not just a user of some product. Not just a consumer of a commodity a company churned out with the single goal of profit for shareholders

You're a participant in one of humanities greatest achievements!

Just like the magic of compiling the worlds knowledge in Wikipedia – here we have the same collaboration across space and time, thousands of people of all colors and creeds, choosing to spend time and energy making something for the community! It's beautiful!

It's so cool that I, a complete nobody, can just walk into the heart of some of the most important parts of what makes my and millions of PCs work – and follow along. But coolest: Add my thoughts, and get them taken seriously by the real heroes who create these amazing, collaborative things! Like @sophie, @TheEvilSkeleton, @tbernard, @ebassi, @bragefuglseth and many more!

I am so grateful for all the work – the coding, design, and the communicating.

Telegram, the cloud-based freemium chat, has now implemented strict rate limiting for users of alternative clients, VPNs and virtual phone numbers.
Clients like Nekogram, Nagram, Cherrygram and Unigram may show transmission delays or errors.
If your client had recently become slower, disable the VPN and use a real number.

Question for my fellow #linux people: I'm looking for a nice, simple, lightweight standalone image viewer. Looking for recommendations along these lines:
- Proper Wayland support
- Maintained to some extent
- Works without a whole DE behind it (it can be associated with a DE, just not depend on it)
- No red flags in the git repo / community / website / etc
- Doesn't explode when coming into contact with mildly "exotic" inputs


Wow. Finally, after 21 years, #Firefox 147 will support the #FreeDesktop XDG basedir specification to store the config/data/etc. in the standard locations in your home directory on #Linux, for fresh installations: bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.…

Unfortunately this only applies to clean installs, existing configs are kept in place and not automatically migrated.


Koupě nového stolního počítače

Pořídil jsem si nový stolní počítač. Dělám to maximálně jednou za dekádu, takže je to pro mě velká věc, o které jsem se musel rozepsal i na blogu. 🙂

And oh boy all terms seem so foreign to me as a long time #Linux user. The same disk is called ada0 with a partition like ada0p2 in #FreeBSD, will be called something like sd0 with sd0h in #OpenBSD, ld0 and dk2 in #NetBSD . Then to experiment, all the #dkctl, #disklabel and #fdisk commands are like blue and red wires on a dynamite you have to get rid of 😱. Linux distros nowadays seem to be going to the #gdisk way which feels very much like #gpart in FreeBSD.

Ca. 15 Jahre nutze ich nun #ubuntu auch beruflich fast ausschließlich. Aber erst dieser Tage habe ich so richtig gecheckt, dass man dem Terminal sagen kann, in welcher Fenstergröße es starten soll:

Menü [Einstellungen]->[Profile]->[z.B. Unbenannt]->[Anfängliche Größe des Terminals]

... wieder ein Klick weniger

donc, si vous dites que « #Linux simplement marche », souvenez-vous toujours que… pas pour tout le monde.

Dear #GetFediHired,

Despite “my” contract ending with the end of the year, but the company being a side in that contract decided to kick out some people, including me, earlier. So their Christmas present for me is the lack of a job.

So I'm looking for opportunities for a jack of all trades #Linux sysadmin, with broad, 10y+ experience in system and applications administration. Preferred location would be #Strasbourg.

Please boost 🔁


@gnome is cozy computing.

Adwaita apps are calm, focused, consistent. Tasks can often be done offline. Even badges for unread notifications are tinted blue and not red.

Non core apps are maintained by indie developers scratching their own itch. With GNOME Circle, a community of more experienced people help review and polish them.

GNOME is the village of Gauls peacefully resisting the Big Tech Empire with its sole existence.

So... @fedora has made a policy explicitly allowing AI code. So I have to change my home distro.

@gentoo and @netbsd both have specific policies against it, but I ain't about doing a Gentoo install (sorry, guys, I love you for this, but I need a binary first distro), and NetBSD ain't great for gaming AFAIK.

So... any other Distros wanna step up and do the right thing? @archlinux? @opensuse? @debian? #VoidLinux? @alpinelinux?

Just a public statement that says "No, we don't want that crap" would be plenty --- I understand the difficulty of enforcing the policy, but setting it as a community/commit standard would go a long way towards making a lot of us feel better.

(Boost for visibility, please?)

J'ai lu que le ministère de l'éducation est « intéressé » à faire passer les écoles à Linux.
si cela est fait, l'éducation des non-et malvoyants en France sera complétement foutue. L'accessibilité de Linux est inacceptable pour en faire une plateforme d'éducation des enfants.
vous voulez passer à Linux ? Soit. Je suis pas d'accord, mais soit. Dans ce cas-ci, il faut *d'abord* investir en accessibilité de cette plateforme, et puis « s'intéresser » à quoi que ce soit.
J'espère bien qu'il y aura des appels à la justice. L'Acte Européen d'Accessibilité est en vigueur, et si l'état même s'en fout, comment peut-on exiger l'accessibilité aux autres ?

Oh cool. VS Code can work with Github repos directly. I don't actually have to git clone them. Also they've changed some of the Alt Function keys around Linux, so Alt + F2 is changed to Alt + Shift + F4 or so.

I played with GUI for #Linux Desktop Migration Tool today. It is still rough around the edges, but it looks promising. Some operations such as selecting applications to reinstall can be done much more easily in GUI than in CLI.

#GTK #libadwaita #linuxdesktop


So last night, I tried Fedora 43. Fedora-Workstation-Live-43-1.6.x86_64.iso. The installer is now web based, making it really nice to use, even with just Tab and Shift + Tab. I was able to install it with no problem.

Now, first time setup had just one big issue, the timezone selector. It's keyboard accessible, and works like this: you start typing a city name, like Chicago, and then down arrow through suggestions and press Enter on the one you want. But Orca doesn't speak that there are suggestions available, and does not read which suggestion you select until you press Enter.

Other than that, Gnome desktop looks pretty good these days! The settings are much better, and that's about all I had time to test so far. Orca starts if you hit Alt Windows S at the installer and first setup, then starts after first setup is complete. The overview panel where you type to search doesn't read when it opens, but basically you just hit the Windows key and start typing what you want, and Orca reads what you hand on, and you can arrow through results. Notifications read too, and I'm thankful Gnome supports notifications.

# "Using LibreOffice and other Free software for documents as a lawyer"

I was asked recently about how I get on using LibreOffice for document-related legal work, and I promised to write down some thoughts.

The short answer is that I use a mix of LibreOffice and other FOSS tools, and I’m very positive about it, with no particular concerns.

If you have questions, please do ask!

Just donated $5 to the GNOME Foundation.

Open source software powers so much of what we do - often built by volunteers.

If you use and love a project, consider giving back - even a few dollars or a thank-you matters.

So I'm using LibreOffice 25.8.2.2 on Fedora Workstation 43 GNOME 49.
For some privacy reasons I'll not be able to attach the entire PDF. However, I can show the page 15 that I was trying to open using LibreOffice Draw in image form.

It contains a combination of Bengali & English language and numerals.

EDIT : This previous issue of mine is still not fixed yet -> mastodon.social/@javalps/11534…

When can I expect the new version?

Hey 👋. Unfortunately even after latest update "version 25.8.2.2", this is issue is still not fixed yet 😔.

Could you please do something ?

#Linux und #Barrierefreiheit, insbesondere für Menschen mit Einschränkungen beim Sehen: habt ihr da Tipps?

Ich weiß, dass es bei @kde die Bildschirmlupe gibt und ich in den Bildschirm zoomen kann. Aber bei anderen Umgebungen? Und für den Zeitraum, bis KDE hochgefahren ist?

Eine Boot-Textkonsole mit 80×25 Zeichen halte ich für gut lesbar. Allerdings zeigt zumindest meine Kiste beim Bootvorgang eine recht kleine Schrift, bei der ich meine Brille brauche.
