Hope not. The new translation tools is great.

For a relatively long time I was under the impression that Servo is pretty advanced, but after the last weeks news, I’m not so sure anymore.

So the native gnu userspace will become the third most used desktop linux runtime :P

Yes. Jellyfin will index the media files and push all the metadata along with the file paths on the network share they both can see to the local kodi database. That way browsing the library on kodi does not suffer any additional latency, but you also lose some advanced jellyfin functionality like on the fly re-encoding.

That’s strange. I’m using the old Jellyfin addon (not the JellyCon), and so far only encountered one bug in total, which, if you are familiar with kodi addon ecosystem, is basically unheard of. And even that one is related to my non-standard manual configuration that allows me to use WebDAV instead SMB or NFS. It’s using the wrong type of escaping for certain special characters, which is understandable, because who in their right mind uses WebDAV?

Kodi itself can act as a frontend for Jellyfin.

It’s an excellent thin client as well. I’ve played the second half of death stranding through the free tier of Geforce Now.

Disappointment? Only if you mean the person that came up with FoomaticRIP.

For those who did not read the entire thing, it’s a so called “filter” that converts the document before it’s sent to certain nasty types of printers. Except it’s not executed on the print server. The unauthenticated print server can just ask a client to run it on their side. And it’s designed to be able to execute ANY command.

One could argue the vests are like seat belts in a car. You don’t need them 99.9% of the time.

That’s not a slow laptop. I’ve been daily driving worse for years.

To protect the data from random thief just browsing through the files I still use ecryptfs. It only encrypts the home directory, and the keys are derived from my accounts password, so no extra hassle.

The encryption is weak by the current standards, and wouldn’t stop a determined attacker, but it’s 100% better than nothing, and I’ve never noticed any performance problems.

Wasn’t the new motherboard released even before the OLED?

If a vendor strangely insist on not working on a new product, it’s lying.

In this case it’s obvious, considering we already got 2 minor revisions of steamdeck HW.

if you don’t need to resize it once it’s created

xfs_growfs is a thing. I know nothing about xfs. Is this something I should avoid for some reason?

You, and 62 other people did not read the article.

Steam provides it’s own linux userspace runtime. The game developers just target that to avoid the problem you describe.

Sounds like fun, but I wish we had a real multiplatform GUI framework that does not look like ass and does not perform like ass, so we can put the whole shameful electron era behind us.

Updates depend on the specific distro. Some, like debian, keep the major version the same throughout the entire lifetime, just backporting the security fixes, others, like arch, follows the official major releases more closely.

TIL: Some people actually like their laptop to wake up after openning the lid!

I’ve used Elitebooks with elementary for years and found the wakup after pressing a button logical.

What pissed me off about probooks/elitebooks was that they woke up to inform me about the low battery, then went back to sleep due to low battery, then wake up, sleep, wake up, sleep, wake up… and the agony went on until the sweet death. I’ve never felt so sorry for a non living object before or after.

Oh, and also elementary can’t go to sleep from the lockscreen, on any hardware. One of those those bugs that I’m always sure will be taken care of in the next release, but it never is.

this usually errors out on some missing dependencies.

apt-get -f install

should get them and continue with the installation.

However, as other have said, get an app like gdebi or eddy, and install the .deb throug that.
