I am looking to switch to a different Linux distribution (or BSD). I currently use openSUSE Tumbleweed, which is quite nice, but I'm having issues with my USB ports and it takes a hot second to boot up.

However, the reason I'm asking here instead of going straight to DistroWatch is that my laptop has a problem. When I turn it on, it bootloops unless it's connected to power when I press the button. As such, this distribution would need to be able to handle running for weeks on end without a reboot.

I could get this repaired or replaced, but I have neither the time nor the money to spare.

So, does anyone have any suggestions? Or should I just slap Fedora Kinoite on it and call it a day?

EDIT: I went for Debian, as well as running fwupd, and it's all working now. Thanks!

I made an account on gram.social where I want to share stuff from my band to divert some traffic off of Instagram.

Everytime when I try to post a picture through the pixelfed app ot shows up as "unlisted" and not "public" even if I flag it correctly in the posting menu.

Does my new account have to get verified or is there a setting I'm missing? The account is public and you can find stuff by searching, though I think my forst lost doesn't show up in feeds or hashtags or anything else.

Cheers and have a good one!

Edit: So I opened Pixelfed on PC and got a notification that the first post needs to be approved by an human to appear as public from then on. The topic can be considered solved but I'll leave the post up for anyone being as confused as I was.

We all know Elon Musk as the funniest man alive.

but did you know that Musk is also a lifelong gamer? for example, here he is in the chess club of his whites only apartheid prep school.

grew out of that though.

really want to highlight the phrase "understandable when all we had to play with were squirrels and rocks." what the fuck is he talking about?

in any case, he c

As a nurse, I can tell you what my first thought was, but no (also walnut would be a terrible material for that).

I'll try to space them out a little after this I'm just mad you all got the last one so fast.

I have a server running Debian that has been connected to WiFi for a long time, but I have since moved it and given it a wired connection. It still seems to be using WiFi though, and in my router settings it shows up as connected through WiFi and not through ethernet.

Now I want to make sure that I can switch over from WiFi to ethernet directly from an ssh-connection so I won't have to connect a screen to get direct access.

What is my best bet here? A lot of the tools I find used for different network operations are not pre-installed, and I don't want to be installing just everything being suggested. Can I solve this by installing network-manager and using nmcli?

EDIT: I also want to disable the wireless card.

EDIT2: No eth-interface shows up when running ip link show, EDIT3: but r8169 0000:02:00.0 enp2s0: renamed from eth0 shows up in dmesg and enp2s0 shows up in ip link show, so I guess it is recongized then.

[SOLVED] EDIT4: I made the modifications manually in `etc

If you guys hate this I'll delete it but I figure fedi could use more engagement, especially to build up really useful comms like this one. One of my "hobbies" is clicking on weird ads for unidentifiable crap products just to see what the fuck is that supposed to be??? and I wanted to see if other people would also find this fun and maybe get a really useful comm more traffic. Found this one on AliExpress.

Edit: ok I'm gonna have to find something really weird.

Wow I can't hardly believe anybody passed a law like this in the USA.

I guess media outlets are acting like legal clinics now???

Optimum wasn’t ready to comply with law, rejected low-income man’s request twice.

::: spoiler full text When New York's law requiring $15 or $20 broadband plans for people with low incomes took effect last week, Optimum customer William O'Brien tried to sign up for the cheap Internet service. Since O'Brien is in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), he qualifies for one of the affordable plans that Internet service providers must offer New Yorkers who meet income eligibility requirements.

O'Brien has been paying Optimum $111.20 a month for broadband—$89.99 for the broadband service, $14 in equipment rental fees, a $6 "Network Enhancement Fee," and $1.21 in tax. He was due for a big discount under the [New York Affordable Broadband Act (ABA)](https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws

If I turn my controller on, it won't connect. But if it's on when I turn my computer on (or restart/wake from sleep), it connects just fine. I am using the "Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows". It's possible it's actually connected but not recognized by Steam or any games, but I am not sure how to troubleshoot that directly. The Arch wiki (linked) doesn't say anything about this specifically.

I am on CachyOS.

Any ideas? <3

Update: This somehow fixed itself. I don't think I even upgraded or anything since it was a problem.

The release of three Israeli female prisoners in Gaza by Hamas’s military wing, the Qassam Brigades, in exchange for 90 Palestinian detainees, triggered a media frenzy in the occupation state.

The dramatic “scene” – fighters emerging amidst the ruins of war, surrounded by a jubilant crowd – undermined official Israeli narratives about the war, its goals, and the treatment of Israeli captives. It raised a sobering question for Israelis: What were we doing in Gaza for 15 months?

The Qassam Brigades orchestrated every detail of the event to maximize impact. From the branded gift bags to the polished uniforms of the fighters, the display exuded calculated precision. A military procession was even held in Saraya Square – an area heavily besieged by

Update: Turned out I had like 3 versions of php and 2 versions of postgres all installed in different places and fighting like animals. Cleaned up the mess, fresh install of php and postgres, restored postgres data to the database and bobs your uncle. What a mess.

Thanks to everyone who commented. Your input is always so helpful.

Hey everyone, it's me again. I'm now on NGINX, surprisingly simple, not here with a webserver issue today though, rather a nextcloud specific issue. I removed my last post about migrating from Apache to Caddy after multiple users pointed out security issues with what I was sharing, as well as suggesting caddy would be unable to meet my complex hosting needs. Thank you, if that was you.

During the NGINX setup which has gone shockingly smoothly I moved all of my site root directories from /usr/local/apache2/secure to /var/www/

Everything so far has moved over nicely... that is until nextcloud.

Lately I've been bouncing between dark and so sweet they'll make you sick shows, with my latest watches being a good example of this.

Gap-Dong's a Korean thriller/mystery about an old unsolved serial murder case that begins to stir again with a new set of copycat murders. A few of the main characters are people that were involved with the original case and have been determined to solve it. If you're into this genre, it's okay but I wouldn't say it's great.

I think the most interesting element of it may be seeing how they try to grapple with the original murderer and their copycat that's appeared 20 years later.

It was enjoyable enough to keep me watching, and only a few episodes really seemed to drag to me.

Miss Night and Day is oddly enough a little similar to Gap-Dong, in that there's an unsolved case involved, but it's a romance comedy instead of thriller. Mainly it's about a woman th

Hello everybody! here's the problem: In my EndeavourOS laptop I had a /swapfile, but couldn't take snapshots with snapper because of it (if I understood correctly). So, I created a 16Gb swap partition using GParted from a live USB. Then, I edited /etc/fstab to remove the line about the swapfile and to add the newly created swap partition:

 undefined

    
UUID=506d48e6-1cc0-4136-ba55-6f2f187bcdb1   swap           swap    defaults   0 0
# /swapfile                                   none           swap    sw         0 0

  

I took the UUID from

 sh

    
$ sudo blkid  
/dev/nvme0n1p3: LABEL="swap" UUID="506d48e6-1cc0-4136-ba55-6f2f187bcdb1" TYPE="swap" PARTLABEL="SWAP" PARTUUID="b4543e4e-4623-4317-99aa-086b0e62836e"
...

  

if I run sudo swapon -a it gets enabled correctly and it all works fine. The problem however is that when I reboot the machine, it gets stuck in the systemd screen saying "a job is running for /dev/disk/etc..." forever, and the only way I have to log in is to boot from a live

I work as a content moderator for a major social media platform. Most people think that means I remove explicit content and ban trolls. I wish that's all it was.

My real job is managing what we internally call "ghost posts" – social media updates that appear after someone has died.

Not scheduled posts. Not hackers. Real, new content, created after confirmed deaths.

It started three months ago when our AI flagged an anomaly: a significant uptick in post-mortem account activity. Not just one or two accounts, but hundreds. Then thousands.

At first, we assumed it was a bug in the system. Social media platforms track everything – login times, device IDs, location data, typing

EDIT: Thanks everyone for your time and responses. To break as little as possible attempting to fix this I've opted to go with ZeroSSL's DNS process to acquire a new cert. I wish I could use this process for all of my certs as it was very quick and easy. Now I just have to figure out the error message lemmy is throwing about not being able to run scripts.

Thank you all for your time sincerely. I understand a lot more than I did last night.

As the title says I'm unable to renew a cert on a self-hosted lemmy instance. A friend of mine just passed away and he had his hands all up in this and had it working like magic. I'm not an idiot and have done a ton of the legwork to get our server running and working - but lemmy specifically required a bit of fadanglin' to get working correctly. Unfortunately he's not here to ask for help, so I'm turning to you guys. I haven't had a problem with any of my other software such as nextcloud or pixelfed but for some re

SOLVED: BananaTrifleViolin's post contains the solution.

Flatseal won't start by itself anymore, which is a known issue. I got it running by running

 undefined

    
GSK_RENDERER=gl com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

  

and inspired by a response in the above linked issue, I wanted to add GSK_RENDERER=gl as a variable in Flatseal so I could open it without having to manually run this in the terminal.

However, I seem to have screwed that up, and written GSK_RENDERER=ng instead, because the application still won't run, and now I get the following output anytime I try to open it by the method above:

 undefined

I finally took the time to move my gaming rig to Bazzite because I don't boot it that often, and because I don't want to spend half the little time I have for gaming doing updates and maintenance.

Most of my games are on an ext4-formatted secondary drive. Note: They worked perfectly on Manjaro and Nobara, the previous distros I used on this machine.

They are recognized by Steam, I can install and uninstall games just fine, it's just that... they don't launch. At all. Native or Proton. Like if I was on an exFAT partition. The "Launching" button switches back to "Play" almost instantly. If I move a game to my main home partition, it launches fine.

Has anyone encountered this issue before?

Where/how could I get detailed logs to try and pinpoint the issue?

Thanks!

Edit: Solved! The issue was with fstab configuration, always specify exec AFTER users, despite the doc telling you that order doesn't matter ;)

Wrong fstab entry :

`UUID=blah-blah-blah /my/mount/point ext4 def

I've been trying to find it for a week now but I don't seem to have any luck so far. I had seen a video about it a couple years back from a brittish YouTuber who mainly reviews DEs, although his name slipped my mind.

It is a very minimalist UI with not much customisation apart from dock size, transparency and positioning, it is niche and not an extension or customisation of another DE, and I believe it may still be in beta, although I'm unsure.

Also I apologise for the image quality, it was the only one I could find. If anyone can identify it I would really appreciate it, although I understand if you are unable, thanks.

EDIT: Also I checked if it was Orion OS or other OS names in the text but none of them matched.

Playing modded Witcher 3 through proton. After dying and loading the last save (and perodically while playing) gpu clocks drop such that the framerate is barely above 60 (and very stuttery). Tried enabling framegen, same thing but it drops to 70 ish. It sometimes goes back to normal if I alt tab out and back, but that gets annoying when playing with a controller (especially if it happens in the middle of combat).

I can see the gpu clock dropping and going back up in system monitor. This doesn't happen with any other game. Any advice?

I've been a user of Librewolf for a about a year now, and it's always served me pretty well as a nice easy way to get a hardened Arkenfox Firefox.

However, recently I was curious why Librewolf wasn't recommended on PrivacyGuides, and took a look through their reasoning on their forum. That thread spans multiple years, and for the most part I thought their reasons for not including it were a bit unfair, especially after Librewolf started offering automatic updates.

But towards the end of that thread in October, a Privacy guide team member posted a link to the Arkenfox github issue tracker, where a Librewolf team member reveals how the project appeared to have lost steam after a critical member left, and they are [struggling to keep it up to date](https://github.com/arkenfo
