One of the nice touches of @linuxmint file manager is that when you open a folder as root, the window displays a nice red banner on top that says "Elevated Privileges".

I tend to like Gnome better, and I wish it had something like that. #Linux #Gnome #ubuntu

Ich habe große Sympathie für @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz und nutze sie seit, ich denke, ca. 10 Jahren gern (selbstgehostet).

Aber der #Desktop #Client bzw. das #Interface für #Linux (#ubuntu 24) stellt meine Loyalität und Begeisterung seit Jahren arg auf die Probe.

Seit Monaten stürzt er beim Computer-Start ab, von Update zu Update bessert sich das nicht und mit dem Neuesten ist das Hauptfenster jetzt "Nextcloud Desktop öffnen" genannt, und die Nautilus-Integration zur Freigabebearbeitung gar nicht mehr nutzbar ...

Any #ZFS folks want to offer me an opinion on the following? I have 2 ZFS pool of raidz2 with 7 2TB SAS drives each (about 11.5T). I want to add a LOG drive. I have a single SAS SSD that's 300G. When I suggested using a 1TB LOG drive earlier, someone said that was way too much. (which is why I picked up a used 300G SSD)

My question is whether it makes sense (is possible) to partition that drive into 2 partitions and have one pool use 1 partition as a log drive (e.g., 150G) and the other pool use the other partition as a log drive on the same physical device.

Is this going to be worse because it's just too much IO on one device? Is it reasonable? Any other ideas?

Thanks

Gestern mal kurz #kubuntu unter den Fingern gehabt.

Ich empfand den #Desktop, Desktopp-Menü, #Dolphin und das Einhängen eines #USB-Sticks kompliziert und unübersichtlich, so ähnlich wie bei Windows.

Ist natürlich persöhnliche Geschmackssache.

"The #Orca screen reader now announces caps lock state changes, and screen readers will now describe the Shortcuts and Autostart pages more optimally. A new grayscale color filter for people sensitive to colors, developers have done a full pass to eliminate bright flashes in the UI, and the desktop zoom feature will now follow the text insertion point. Keyboard navigation has been improved, and a few other small changes have been to improve #accessibility."

End of 10 na OpenAltu: příležitost přejít z Windows 10 na Linux

Konec podpory Windows 10 přináší zajímavou příležitost pro Linux, protože nechává bez podpory miliony počítačů, které by mohly dál sloužit a na kterých by mohl běžet právě Linux. Proč přechod na Linux dává větší smysl než kdykoliv před tím a jak jsme se rozhodli tomu jít naproti na OpenAltu.

Auch bei #ubuntu24 befindet sich der Anmeldebildschirm nach dem Aufwachen aus dem #Bereitschaftsmodus manchmal in einem Zustand, indem das Eingabefeld für das Passwort nur mit der Maus aktivierbar ist. Jedenfalls ist es nicht via [Tab] zu erreichen. Es ist das einzige Element auf dem Bildschirm, außer dem Ein/Aus in der Taskleiste. Weslhalb hat das keinen automatischen Fokus?

Nichts für #blinde Nutzer!

Das solche Basics oft über Jahre keine Beachtung finden frustriert.

The only remaining part of my computing world that is not yet on Linux is my audio/music production work. Formulating a plan to try and make a move there, too.

Would love to connect up with anyone doing this seriously on Linux. I'm totally okay with re-tooling a bunch of my software stack, but I'm trying to figure out a good, solid audio interface that will work well for serious use under Linux.

Happy International E- waste day.

...Also happy Microsoft end-of-life for Windows 10 day.

It's estimated that 400-600 million computers still run Windows 10, and many of those don't meet the higher specs required for Win 11, which in addition to more RAM and a faster CPU includes having UEFI bios.

For those with some level of tech literacy upgrading to Linux is an obvious workaround, but the sad truth is that enormous volumes of ewaste will be generated by this unnecessary act of corporate greed.
