Gentoo goes Binary (packages)
  • No. But "bin" implies "binary" (already compiled).

  • 'The Wedding': Iranian spy plot to kill two news presenters in London uncovered by double agent
  • “They accuse Iran of committing any kidnap or assassination [on television] and we must finish them and make an example of them to anyone who will run the channel after them, so anyone who will take their place in the channel will learn a lesson from what happened to them,”

    Big brain time.

  • The part where they say that using Linux instead of Windows is like leaving the US for Canada when Trump gets elected, and apparently it's bad because it means you don't help improve things for Windows (lol).

  • Denmark parliament adopts bill prohibiting Quran burnings
  • So you unambiguously said you support a blasphemy law, but somehow you don't support blasphemy laws? Wake up.

  • Denmark parliament adopts bill prohibiting Quran burnings
  • Blasphemy and racism are two very different things.

    Blasphemy is a human right.

    Besides, there are already laws against hate speech.

  • Requesting advice on converting a Laptop Keyboard from QWERTY to Colemak-dh
  • You don't. Seriously. The point of an ergonomic keyboard is to touch-type. You won't learn to do that if you look at your keyboard.

    Print your keyboard layout on a sheet of paper, and hang it next to your monitor. Now when you want to type a character, look it up on your sheet, and without looking at your fingers, type it. Try to remember the position like "left index finger, two lines above the rest line".

  • Linux mint = best beginner distro
  • If you're basically recreating Linux Mint from scratch, yes.

    Linux can be heavily modified, and removing Snap from Ubuntu is no exception. But it's an involved process.

  • What do you think about this?
  • The thing is Snaps are pushed on the desktop, and the server world already uses containers like Docker, so there isn't much Snap does that's truly unique and useful.

  • I finally figured out how to virtualize my OPNsense firewall. Suck it, Roku.
  • I see. I may try to do something similar but towards Unbound on my OPNSense router, if that's possible.

  • I suspect DoT and DoH still go through, though? I mean you can always block the port 853 for DoT, but DoH is another story.

  • Why can't I play H.265 videos on Fedora 38 even though I have the codec installed
  • Can you run GNOME Videos in the command line and copy/paste the error output when it crashes?

  • Why can't I play H.265 videos on Fedora 38 even though I have the codec installed
  • Try this:

    sudo dnf update
    sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
    sudo dnf groupupdate core
    sudo dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg --allowerasing
    sudo dnf groupupdate multimedia --setop="install_weak_deps=False" --exclude=PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin
    sudo dnf groupupdate sound-and-video
    
    

    You should also add the hardware accelerated codecs, by following the appropriate section depending on your hardware:

    Make sure to reboot.

    If this still does not work, install Celluloid and enjoy the superiority of mpv.

  • That's an Estonia thing, not a Europe thing. Estonia is notorious for being the land of IT. In the rest of Europe, IT is heavily male-dominated. I just finished an IT tech/sysadmin training in France: out of 15 people, 3 were women, and it was probably one of the best ratio they've ever had. It seems there are a bit more women in the programming courses recently, though, but they're still a minority.

    At my current job, out of a little over 100 people in various IT teams, 10 are women.

  • Recommend Me: a wireless game controller
  • Oh, yes, I forgot that. It's been a while I have touched my Switch.

  • Recommend Me: a wireless game controller
  • I use a DualSense, an 8BitDo Pro2, and a Switch Pro controller.

    My favourite by far is the DualSense: motion control works (unlike the 8BitDo), and the touchpad is really useful to control the mouse cursor in menus. The buttons are also shorter and real more reactive. It's on the bigger size, which may or may not be a good thing for you. I have smaller hands, so for me it's not as comfortable as the 8BitDo, but it's definitely bearable, and I still use it over my 8BitDo Pro2.

    The Switch Pro controller is a pain in some games (last time I tried, it was so bugged it was unusable with Dead Cells), and I don't see any real advantage it would have over an 8BitDo Pro2. Maybe the motion control? I don't know if it works or not, I have never tested it.
