So, my last post (at the moment of this post) was in Nov 2019, so a new #introduction post might be in order.

Hello everyone! My name is Artemis. I will mostly write about #Programming (incl. #Ruby, #Python, #Clojure, #Elixir, #Golang, #Docker and others), #SciFi, #fantasy with occasional various nerdy postings (#linux/#unix #comicbooks, #lego, #formulae), #lgbtqi stuff or plain nonsense-posting.

Hope you enjoy!

Here is a pro tip: Process substitution allows you to treat the output of a #Linux / #Unix command as if it were a file, or write output as if you were writing to a file, but have it piped into another command's input. It's handled by the shell like Bash or Zsh. Syntax:
<(command)
command1 <(command2)

Where you would normally put an input filename for a command, you can instead put <(some_other_command2)

Got my @frameworkcomputer FW13 in. HX 370, 128GB DDR5 5600, 4TB SN580. I'm running @fedora 42 on this one as well. Loving it so far. The build quality is awesome. You usually have to give that up when you want upgradeability, but not here. The transparent black bezel also looks a lot more classy than I was expecting. Glad I went that route. Still some sleep issues to work out, but it's been smooth otherwise. #homelab #fedora #framework #linux #flir

I certainly don't really need an introduction lol 🤣.

But for the ones who don't know me, my name is Stuart but you can call me Stu.

I am a very big fan of technology and music.

I also love fishing and playing golf ⛳.

I like all decentralized platforms and open source platforms.

These are some #'s I'm interested in:

Hi Feedverse!!!

Big thanks to Stefano Marinelli (@stefano),
our dedicated admin keeping BSD.cafe running smoothly.
Stefano is always such a positive presence, and his work
is the foundation of our feedverse home.

And a huge shoutout to The Real Grunfink (@grunfink),
creator of the excellent #snac #ActivityPub server.
Snac truly embodies the KISS and minimalist principles – simple,
efficient, and powerful software that makes the Fediverse better.

These two contribute significantly to our online space.
If you value their efforts and the spirit of their work,
consider supporting them financially.
Every bit helps keep these vital parts of the decentralized web thriving.

Thank you, Stefano and Grunfink!

Every time I use windows I feel sick, confused and annoyed.
The first thing it asks you on install is to choose how much data you want to give up for advertising and diagnostics. Not whether you want to send any, just how much, with the least being "minimal".
The constant barrage of ads, mandatory online connections, and corporate integrations disgusts me, and slows me down, I can't ignore them I have to decline and then investigate how to turn them off.
The number of hoops I have to jump through just to get a usable operating system is absurd, such as editing the registry so the file search shows files and not bing results, having to open Edge and ignore 5 requests to sign-in so I can download a real browser, while also ignoring 5 patronising and manipulative attempts to deter me from switching from Edge.
Then I have to download a bunch of third party proprietary drivers just to use my GPU properly, all of which need me to click through 5 windows to complete the install else I'll accidentally install the trial for some spyware antivirus or end up enabling enough analytics to recreate my personality as an AI, which will naturally be used to advertise to my own mother.
I then spend 15 minutes going through the privacy settings checking and disabling various additional data collection features that weren't mentioned in the setup because this isn't my computer it's Microsoft's and they deserve access to it.
Then I have to consider how much more effort I want to spend making windows mine, so I open up Group Policy and enforce several enterprise only settings that actually disables data collection entirely, disables tips, feedback surveys, "experiences" and other such garbage no one wants, knowing in despair more will be added in a new update and I'll have to check everything again. All of which is only available of you have Windows Pro because we couldn't allow just any old grunt full access to their own computer, instead we'll paywall it behind $150, or you can buy a dodgy key on G2A for $10 or hell run that massgrave thing and pirate your copy which btw is 100% malware and you should not run dodgy scripts off the internet especially ones so blatantly obfuscated and designed to be easily switched out to any script the highest bidder asks for.
Windows is user hostile, it's designed to exploit you, to squeeze you hard of as much cash and data that it can find. Windows is not popular because its good, but because Microsoft have a monopoly on the market, because so much software is designed to run on it, which makes a loop of parasiticsm, because it's there in front of you and you don't know any better (not your fault).

I don't use Linux as a joke, or a compromise, or as a struggle, or just for the moral high-ground. I use it because it's actually really good, I watch anime, i play games, i write emails, i watch youtube, i code (or try to), i manage servers, i send cat pictures to my grandma, i organise files, i do whatever the fuck i want and its between me and me and no one else and it just works, it's worth customising, it does what I ask and it does it quickly, it doesn't feel like I'm renting my computer, it doesn't hide things or patronise me, it doesn't ask me to spend money, or buy a subscription, it doesn't try to manipulate or gaslight me, it doesn't misunderstand the concept of consent, it doesn't randomly update and break itself, and it absofuckinglutely doesn't have the audacity of telling me to "license" it for the privilege of using a glorified digital billboard.

If you want your computer to feel like an abusive relationship, constantly working to undermine you, getting slower and slower while taking away features and replacing them with things you don't want, recording eveything you're doing and sharing it with Daddy Microsoft whike asking for money for that privilege, just because it's familiar to you, because it runs the software you grew up with, because it runs Valorant and League or some 30 year old enterprise centrifuge in your nuclear fuel refinement facility then that's fine. That's your perogative.
But Linux does work, and it works well. If you put in the effort to learn something new, (and it's not much effort, it's less than using the registry or policy editor), then in the long term everything gets so much easier, and the endless stream of bullshit Microsoft pumps out won't affect you.

I run Ubuntu BTW, LTS, with uncustomised Gnome and FireFox in a snap.

The Universal Blue team was tired of waiting for upstream so we did it ourselves and made a Live ISO builder for `bootc` images: Titanoboa! It's currently in a pretty alpha-ish state since we've started developing this like 3 days ago, but its already somewhat functional and Blue95 (a custom windows95-like image made by Adam Ledif) already has a functioning live installer for the image if you wanna try it out!

What does this mean for you? Faster, smaller, and more accessible installation environments :)

@BoxyBSD was always for BSD based systems only. I focussed to push the whole BSD community and to encourage people to try BSD based systems (such like #FreeBSD. #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, etc.) but I'm not sure if it might provide more value to the whole #opensource community by also supporting #Linux systems (such like #Debian, #Ubuntu, #RockyLinux, #SuSe and more).

I'm not sure if the #BoxyBSD project still provides a value for the community right, now.

What do you think?

Every time I fire up an Elementary Linux host or VM I am struck by how nice the desktop environment looks. Maybe I'll switch back to it at some point.

We love #Linux ! 😍

That's why we offer FREE desktop clients for all major distros🧑‍💻👉 https://tuta.com/blog/desktop-clients-tutanota

What's your favorite distro? If it isn't listed below, let us know in the comments!🐧

Personally, I’ve always seen Fedora as Red Hat’s testing lab — not a stable distro.
But Linus uses it as a daily driver anyway.🤷

The catch? Fedora 42 ships a pre-release version of GCC 15, which triggered
issues the kernel wasn’t prepared for

🔗 The heated discussion about it on the mailing list shows
the impact of this move: https://lwn.net/ml/all/4f941c51-784a-4f10-8df5-6bd103d1d80e@roeck-us.net/

#introduction Hello all, Ive been on the fediverse on a number of accounts for about five years, finally it was time to make my own instance and decided on mastodon.

I mainly want to share photos I've taken over the years. I moved fully to #Linux about a year ago and its taken some time to settle and get to editing photos.

I am interested in #macro #aviation #streetphotography #pcbuild #birds #nature #bayarea #cert #sar #tech #Photo

any boost would be appreciated from my #selfhost instance

Kiddo’s 2017 MacBook Air struggling under the load.

Strong suspicion I could swap out #macOS for #Linux, do better with #Minecraft and most everything else, and not do much worse at macOS-specific stuff like #GarageBand and Messages under #OSXKVM (https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM).

Anyone done this, or something similar?
