3·3 months agoYes and no. Code development for Nitter has officially stopped afaik, but there are still some instances not completely dead.

Yes, gdebi :
22·4 months agoWindows does have a fallback mode called safe mode and that’s exactly what’s being used to fix this utter mess.
The other fix was reboot your Windows computer at least 15 times.
Package management isn’t going to save you from this as it didn’t save the Linux systems affected last time. It didn’t stop Arch Linux from failing to boot after a Grub update either.
Not everyone was affected though :
How come not everyone was impacted?
Prior to the most recent version, grub only registered the fwsetup if detected support. If your machine detected support, you would have had the fwsetup command registered and the failure wouldn’t occur.
Big fan of Cantata here :)
It was forked this year and the new developer kept using the original name.
Would using a blue-tooth keyboard make sense ?
That looks neat and useful. <nitpick mode on> It is an Android wrapper around rclone not rsync.<nitpick mode off> Thanks for sharing.
EDIT: I kinda forgot to actually mention my problem. When booting nornall, I get stuck at a lonely white blinking cursor on a black screen, so startx seems to make some problems. I enter a TTY and run startx and this is what I get when running startx:
output of startx
What was the output ? It is not visible for me here.
- Were you using startx successfully before ?
- Or are you reverting to trying startx and you did use some graphical display manager like gdm, sddm or lightdm before ?
- Could it be a disk space problem ? If you run out of space trouble can happen with various applications.
- Can you boot from a previous kernel (At the GRUB or systemd boot menu) and see what happens ?
Huge news 🎉 Thanks OP for sharing.
It feels like a relief after reading earlier Lemmy comments in other posts about btrfs vs ext4 and having read this Wikipedia page paragraph :
In 2008, the principal developer of the ext3 and ext4 file systems, Theodore Ts’o, stated that although ext4 has improved features, it is not a major advance, it uses old technology, and is a stop-gap. Ts’o believes that Btrfs is the better direction because “it offers improvements in scalability, reliability, and ease of management”.[29] Btrfs also has “a number of the same design ideas that reiser3/4 had”.[30] 😢
Oh no, wait a minute, I overlooked the next sentence last time 😀 :
However, ext4 has continued to gain new features such as file encryption and metadata checksums.
Is this a desktop computer ? Two hard disks can make things more difficult. How about taking the power cord temporarily off from the larger disk, then install, and if it’s successful then turn it off and give the 2nd disk power again, and add that 2nd disk manually to the fstab as e.g. /opt/ as mount point.

And they appear to have a fresh Mastodon account hosted by the EU :

I picked the lesser evil
The choice for iOS can be a convenient choice for daily use if one is ready to deal with the restrictions (Like every other web browser is a Safari browser layer instead of a real browser and the fact that Apple is not into allowing ad-blocking easily). With Android phones the freedom for the end user is, compared to iOS, massive. And having a de-Googled Android phone with a custom ROM is no longer rocket-science or for the faint of heart these days because you can buy custom ROM Android phones pre-installed so you’re good to go.

28 juli 2014 — What do you think about Linus Torvalds? I met Linus and his wife briefly at a party in 1999, and haven’t crossed paths since.

According to this I think this is the Mastodon account of the Funkwhale developer https://mastodon.eliotberriot.com/@funkwhale which is down as well. The first link also has a link to their Matrix channel.
Wondering : Does duf do a better job than df with btrfs ?
The discontinuation of neofetch development was big news for a lot of people, for example here : https://lemmy.ml/post/15051857 I’m happy for the software developer, now a farmer though :)
The developer maybe moved on to something new, like author of neofetch took up farming a few months ago.
That one has posts from 2 months ago or older. After some searching I found another one which is recent, here’s a post : https://lemmy.bestiver.se/post/88991
