Graphical or console.

An open source roguelike adventure through dungeons filled with dangerous monsters in a quest to find the mystifyingly fabulous Orb of Zot.

Ok, I had to assist my brother-in-law updating from #windows10 to #windows11 because his seven year old processor is no longer supported by #microsoft . This became a little messy.

Anyway, how's the floppy driver in the #linux kernel doing?

So, definitely a lot more dynamic range in Linux. IDK how it does it but there's an actual sound stage. Windows, flat as a pancake.

Loaded up Layla and WOW!

The reminder popped up for me. Last Sunday of each month, I was reminded to back up my files. Doesn't take much to do. Turn on the machine, plug in a drive, and run my script. It takes a bit of time, but I am doing other things, so it isn't a problem.

External drives are not that expensive, and earlier this month, it paid off as my old laptop failed. Nothing was lost as I had backups. I also popped the laptop drive out, plugged it into an adapter, and extracted all the differences to a backup drive with a #linux machine.

Finally gonna kick the M$ spyware off this computer. Been dragging my ass about it for the past few months. Linux would've went right on this computer from the beginning but I was still using Windows-specific programs that had no comparable Linux alternative and that WINE wouldn't work well with.

I've used Mint before, first time was probably 10 years ago, but not the Cinnamon desktop. Usually I like MATE, but why not try something new?

The Other Linux Logo

Hi Linux lovers, feel free to share, use and edit this Linux logo we have designed for you. The good old Tux logo is really cool, we love and use it but a simple and efficient logo to identify Linux is missing. The Other Linux Logo is more icon-friendly and adapted to small sizes. Also, we want people to have the choice when it comes to picture the awesomeness of Linux!

A Ring of Fire Sunrise Solar Eclipse

Explanation:
What's rising above the horizon behind those clouds? It's the Sun. Most sunrises don't look like this, though, because most sunrises don't include the Moon. In the early morning of 2013 May 10, however, from Western Australia, the Moon was between the Earth and the rising Sun. At times, it would be hard for the uninformed to understand what was happening. In an annular eclipse, the Moon is too far from the Earth to block the entire Sun, and at most leaves a ring of fire where sunlight pours out around every edge of the Moon. The featured time-lapse video also recorded the eclipse through the high refraction of the Earth's atmosphere just above the horizon, making the unusual rising Sun and Moon appear also flattened. As the video continues on, the Sun continues to rise, and the Sun and Moon begin to separate. This weekend, a new annular solar eclipse will occur, visible from central Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and a narrow band across Asia, with much of Earth's Eastern hemisphere being able to see a partial solar eclipse.

** Note by grobi:
"To upload this video, I converted it and compressed it to a smaller file-size under #linux with the free software ffmpeg and the corresponding command:

'ffmpeg -i video_in.mkv -vcodec libx265 -crf 28 video_out.mp4'

Maybe you would like to post a corresponding video on a scientifically related topic, but it is perhaps too big? Then try ffmpeg."

Me: Great, Reddit has a sub "Linux for newbies."

Everyone on that sub: speak in Linux-linguo, use obscure acronyms left and right...

🤦

Linux people, I love you, but if you want more people to join you, maybe the first step would be to speak in plain English to people who want to join you?

#Linux

Figured out how to record audio from my Internet browser (on Linux).

pavucontrol + audacity (which is a lot easier than what I had to do with windows, which was a hardware cable from the headphone to microphone port). May not be the best setup, but hey, it works!

Somewhere in a desert... Girl and Penguin are eating breakfast. Penguin: "Morning, slept well?" Girl: "mhmhmhm" Penguin: "What's today?" Girl checks her school schedule. It's Monday, morning class - history. Girl: "History. Penguin, unenthusiased: "Sounds exciting."

Alt...

Classroom. Fish begins the lesson. Fish: "I wanted to call this class mythology, but Purple said history suggests that some of it might actually be true. Nobody remembers how long ago, but as you know, the world ended. While the inheritors of the ravaged land learned to adapt to their predicament, three brothers, successors of those who brought about the end, set out into the destroyed world to ruin it some more." LAST REMAINING MATACORPBUNKER B_73; three brothers "Well, gentlemen, we ate all the women, children and uly. The water purifier is busted and the only person who could fix it was Parkinson." "We ate her last week." "We ate her last week." "Nothing to eat, nothing to drink. So now what?" "I think it's time to do what our great great great grandparents spoke of - Go outside and restart civilization." "Ugh..."

Penguin and Fish are dressed as the MATA brothers. Penguin: "I have the best ideas." Fish: "You're going to have to help us play the third brother." Girl, ecstatic: "School trip!" analognowhere presents: techno-mage in: Girl, Fish and Penguin stand outside their cave home. Fish: "... they gathered a bunch of thumbdrives with ancient CORPO tech and went on a journey to find people and machines they could poison." Penguin: "It's a good day to fuck shit up. Come on, bros!" Girl: "He's really into it!"

The three brothers cross the ancient desolate land. "This suuuuuuuuuuuucks." "Shut up."

Help, I need a code signing certificate that won't bankrupt me.

Three years ago, I paid $100 for a three-year code signing certificate. I've signed all my open-source projects' releases with it. Now that it's renewal time, Certera (SignMyCode.com) wants almost $700 for the same three-year certificate (excluding the mandatory HSM purchase, which I am totally on board with).

I write silly C and PowerShell code, and I timestamp my signatures so that they're perpetually valid. My PowerShell Gallery stuff, as well as binaries of aprs-weather-submit on Windows and macOS, are all signed and hashed (but not notarized by Apple, because that's another $99 a year for something that feels done unless Bob Bruninga's followers are thinking about APRS 2.0).

If I can't find a solution, anything I write or update in the future will have to be released as unsigned unless I half-ass something (like the Notepad++ developer using self-signed certs -- semi-dangerously clever). $100 every three years, fine. $700 every three years, and I'll do it if my three fans click my Buy Me A Coffee link over and over.

Is there any CA out there that will offer open-source, not-for-profit developers like me a chance to get globally-trusted code signing certificates? I don't think SigStore ever took off (sadly), and even if it did, I don't think it's part of the Microsoft Authenticode program.

Hallo Ihr 3! - Das offizielle Ende von Win10 naht (zu) schnell. - Ich muss nun was tun.

Zur Erinnerung: ich benötige Banking und FiBu-SW zwingend auf Win11, es gibt keine Linux-Versionen. ->VM:

VirtualBox / KVM

Also, das mit MINT hat ja wg. Grafikkarte und Soundkarte nicht so richtig funktioniert. Bei DEBIAN gibt es zumindest die GPU-Treiber.

Das will ich testen.

1.) Geht DEBIAN auch über die Stick-Methode zu testen, (sh. oben),..
