Kamu siapa? Ngapain post pakai bahasa Indonesia ke komunitas berbahasa Inggris?

pastermil ,

I think we all should agree upon a single solution to prevent fracturing. Matrix is a good candidate.

pastermil ,

These fucktards are putting The Onion out of their job.

Suspend-to-RAM?

pastermil ,

based on Devuan

pastermil ,

That's a good one!

She can't even tell the difference between Gen Z and Gen Alpha.

Good thing is, this bullshit of hers may kill 67 hype for good.

pastermil ,

Easy.

Gen Z folks are in their 20s. They're either in college or already in the workforce.

Gen Alpha folks are still in grade school.

Lemme ask you this: have you ever seen a college kid making that 67 reference?

pastermil ,

Also not to be confused with RedoxOS.

You may jest, but we know that's just fact

pastermil ,

Don't worry, it's just a relabeling. The stuff is still the same.

I use Debian as one of my daily drivers. I wouldn't recommend the vanilla version to beginners, but I'd recommend LMDE.

pastermil ,

I wonder if that open up job opportunities..

I was greeted by an Arabic message, followed by a Captcha with Arabic instruction. Welp.

pastermil ,

What scroll bar?

pastermil ,

The weather's nice, in'it?

pastermil ,

Damn it! Thanks to you guys, I'll be distro hopping again! Great job ruining it!

pastermil ,

Now if only we can get ourselves some reasonably performant RISC-V chips to run this...

pastermil ,

Which completely counters all the "if a product needs marketing it's a lousy product" arguments

pastermil ,

If someone spend more effort advertising their product than they are developing it, then I would question their product.

However, a lot of people here seems to have negative sentiment against all forms of marketing. Hopefully I'm misinterpretting it.

pastermil ,

At the time, lynx couldn't do that.

Now it can??

pastermil ,

Linux Mint

pastermil ,

I second this.

The TV industry can crash and burn otherwise.

pastermil ,

You may find that some multimedia format doesn't play properly out of the box. If you're into pirated movies, you should know that HEVC (H265) as well as EAC3 are affected.

There are workarounds, but would need some manual steps.

first they killed his person

then they killed his name

Damn, 12 years of non-stop operation? If I was your power supply, I'd be dead too.

Microsoft Just Killed the "Cover for Me" Excuse: Microsoft 365 Now Tracks You in Real-Time ( ztechtalk.com )

Look, we all knew it was coming, but now it's official. Microsoft just handed middle managers the ultimate weapon. Their new update for Microsoft 365 allows companies to track exactly where you are, and the days of pretending to be at your desk are over.

pastermil ,

So you point their mic to yours! They definitely won't miss that piss!

pastermil ,

look at all these marvelous technological achievements to make our life miserable!

pastermil ,

I've watched too many space operas to know where this is going!

pastermil ,

No, man. Windows 7 for lyfe!

pastermil ,

I thought it's the best version out there.

I currently have a dual boot between Windows and Linux but I'm thinking about removing Windows. Would I need to do anything to Grub in order to continue use Linux Mint?

As a sort of follow up to the post I made on my alt account, would I need to do to anything to Grub to continue using Linux Mint after removing Windows or would I still be able to boot into Linux Mint without having to do anything? As stated in the previous post, Windows is installed onto an SSD and I want run games from that ...

pastermil ,

You're already booting your Linux Mint just fine with the GRUB, right? Assuming you won't be changing your drives, all you'd need to do is nuke the Windows partition and update your GRUB. You can then reuse that partition for something else. Merging that partition would be time consuming and the devs have said to be risky, but it can be done with a LiveUSB, and I haven't had any problem myself aside having to wait some time.

pastermil ,

You do not want to use dash interactively! It is created solely for scripting and not for creature comfort. This means all the stuff you're probably used to such as line editing and command history will not be available.

At some point, you'd want to ask yourself how heavy is "heavy" and how much stuff are you willing to shed? Do you not need tools such as web browser, media player, or office suite? Are you willing to get rid of desktop environment?

In the extreme, you can remove all the documentations, all the manpages to save space. You can even remove all the localization files, without which stuff would look weird, but would still run.

Further than that, you can even customize your kernel, opting out all the drivers you don't need, or even some that you could use (e.g. wifi, audio, hardware monitoring). Next, some kernel features that are less essential such as statistics, logging, and debugging, as well as the handling for some network protocols. If you wanna go crazy, you can enable the expert/embedded options and with that you can disable stuff that can be critical (e.g. error reporting, certain IPC feature).

It's a rabbit hole, really.

pastermil ,

How did you know... 😉

pastermil ,

Can I entertain you with some minimalistic distros? Alpine is the first thing that comes to mind.

It uses busybox which is some kind of minimalistic all-in-one program that includes everything you need to run an OS such as init system and core utilities. And yes, you guessed it, it includes a shell that is a stripped down version of bash. Even the libc is stripped down here, with musl instead of glibc.

Speaking of busybox and musl, there's also another distro that centers around compiling tiny embedded rootfs image. With this you can configure what (not) to include in the kernel. You can also do the same with busybox, where you can choose to include or exclude utilities.

But honestly, to have something lean while being able to keep up with modern computing, I'd choose Gentoo where you can choose what (not) to put in your programs at compile time.

pastermil ,

I guess it's just that musl and busybox are not fit for desktop use cases

pastermil ,

What the hell is even YouTube Rewind?

It's simple in its principal, really..

  • you have multiple companies
  • one company (A) have some supply for some product
  • on the other company (B), you create demand for that product (i.e. for its operation)
  • thus, under your control, you make company A and B enter a trade agreement
  • as someone who brokered that deal, you get rewarded (e.g. from brokerage fee, or commision)
  • sometimes, by having a massive increase in sales, the stock for company A would increase, thus you can sell a little bit of it, which you can later buy back after the stock price goes back down
  • profit

Some facts:

  • even though they're your companies, you are a separate entity from them, and they are each its own entity
  • the money comes from the investors as well as profit, remember that they are separate
  • no, you cannot just take all the companies' money, since even though they're yours, there are corporate structures and other people at stake preventing that

So you basically come up with some excuse for moving stuff around, then you come up with some excuse to siphon off some of that good stuff.

Where have you been, the cave?

Linux community have been solving problems together since the dawn of time, despite the bazillion different standards they endorse on their own, they collaborate with each other.

Take a look at KDE & GNOME. They are opposed to each other on the surface level, but they both share countless amount of work. Also MATE, which is a fork of GNOME that is created basically from disagreement of modern GNOME's direction, still uses a lot of GNOME's library.

pastermil ,

Having a boss that tells you that is a privilege!

pastermil ,

True that.

pastermil ,

Like Freemason?

pastermil ,

something something divine intervention?

pastermil ,

Isn't LoongArch basically just rebranded MIPS?

pastermil ,

Next: move away from github, as it's owned by MS
