Audio is working for #PostmarketOS on #Fairphone5! 🎉

Congrats to Alexandre Ferrieux, who achieved this result, and to all contributors of @postmarketOS for providing a truly alternative and independent operating system for mobile! 💚

Now, AFAIK, Fairphone 5 will become the first mobile device where almost everything works with pmOS 🤩

Anyone familiar with audio codecs, #gstreamer and/or #jellyfin ? I'm looking to optimize the streaming configuration for Jellyfin-> Gstreamer client for #linux but I struggle to grok all the different codec and containers combinations. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! github.com/Fingel/gelly/issues…


I’ve become one of the #FriendsOfGNOME too.
Really, this is just to make it official, because as I see it, GNOME has been a friend of mine for a long time already 😜
#GNOME #OpenSource #Linux


This year brought great improvements to #accessibility in GNOME, including:

• Accessibility from the start on the login screen
• Full accessibility of GNOME Web
• Tons of improvements to Calendar
• Screen reader integration for Notifications
• Configure #Orca screen reader from Settings
• GTK apps integrated w/Windows & macOS accessibility

Help us reach 1,500 #FriendsOfGNOME so we can focus on accessibility even more in 2026!

@frameworkcomputer Framework's continued commitment to "deliberately create a big tent" is paying off.

More than a month since the last public statement comment from Framework on the subject and they still haven't distanced themselves from this guy.

The forum thread has over 2000 replies at this point..

Is it cool that Linus Torvalds uses Fedora Linux? Yes!

But the really cool thing is to use the Linux distro that works best for you. :)

Having Linux get covered on LTT is such a big win for the open source community as more techies realize there is another way!

But it is pretty neat tho what Linus uses 😎

Since we’re gonna be around all day to read, respond, and boost stuff on the fediverse… what are YOUR favorite things about GNOME? 👀

#GNOME #OpenSource #FOSS #Linux


I don't think I've yet expressed enough yet how great the out of box experience of #Fedora #Linux on a new #Lenovo #ThinkPad has been. Don't get me wrong, Fedora runs great on my other hardware, too, but this pairing feels much more intentionally supported and it really shows in the experience.



We’re launching an end-of-year fundraising campaign with a simple goal: to reach 1,500 Friends of GNOME. And we need your help!

blogs.gnome.org/foundation/202…

This week we’ll also be sharing and celebrating accomplishments of GNOME over the past year here on the fediverse; be sure to follow #FriendsOfGNOME!

Finally, if you’re already a Friend of GNOME or join this month, please join us in posting with #FriendsOfGNOME as well so that we can thank you. 😊

FreeBSD 15.0 (almost)-RELEASE, using pkgbase, on my Ryzen 9 MiniPC (and compared to openSUSE Tumbleweed):

- Full disk encryption works beautifully via GELI, as usual.

- Installing KDE is easy and it works perfectly on Wayland.

- All my main apps work. Others will run via the Linuxulator or Wine (Linux browsers, WinBox for MikroTik, etc).

- The fan seems more relaxed.

- The system generally feels snappier.

- Native ZFS. I can autosnapshot every 5 minutes. If I try to do this with btrfs - snapshots of the home directory included and quotas enabled - the system hangs while handling them (which is why Tumbleweed doesn’t snapshot home by default).

- The media keys on my keyboard work, but volume control uses huge steps and 30 percent is already extremely loud. This can be fixed. The monitor brightness setting is also a bit off, but I don't care.

- amdgpu works perfectly.

- The wifi card works. I haven’t tested the speed because I immediately installed the realtek-re-kmod driver to use the 2.5 Gbit ethernet connection.

- Suspend doesn’t work. This is a big problem for me. It’s probably more psychological than technical, but I can’t leave the computer powered for hours when I’m not using it. I already have servers running 24/7 here. I even considered putting my Qotom FreeBSD server in a VM. It would probably work, but next summer it might be an issue because temperatures here aren’t low and spinning disks don’t love heat (and I don’t love their noise).

- It’s stable and reliable. I’ve done almost everything and it just works, as expected.

- Some small glitches remain, mostly due to missing configuration or packages (I didn’t tune anything. I just installed it and started using it).

A much smoother experience than a year ago, when I bought it.

Will I keep using FreeBSD on this minipc?
I’m not sure yet, since Tumbleweed works great and the lack of suspend really influences my choice. I'll contact Aymeric and try to offer some help to improve this.

For now, I’ll keep it on an external SSD and switch from time to time, especially when I know I’ll be using the minipc for hours.

I love how steadily Linux ecosystem gets better and better over the years. I am at an event where I have some spare time in the back of our booth, so I'm slowly installing my new homelab minipc and I needed to provide connectivity to it. I have two network interfaces on my laptop, so I started remembering how to set up routing and dhcp server on the command line, then I remembered it's a workstation, so I need to take care of NetworkManager to not cause any issues, only to find out that there's actually an option called "Shared to other computers" on the interface in NetworkManager GUI, so I ticked it and ... it just works. It started dhcp server and started masquerading the subnet via default route.

Oh, and you can find the leases in "/var/lib/NetworkManager/dnsmasq-<interface name>.leases"

This commentary on end-user Linux is bound to inspire controversy. My own reasons for using Linux are largely related to the efficiency and control offered by UNIX tools, but I also appreciate the freedom and privacy-related benefits.

#Linux #OperatingSystems


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.
