Bitwarden is now verified on Flathub for Linux by SteveTech in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Probably because there's also permission to use the X11 socket.

QR code rule by SteveTech in c/196@lemmy.blahaj.zone

[-] SteveTech@programming.dev 37 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

For those wondering, when using the biggest QR code with the maximum error correction (10,208 bytes), 1,454,942 QR codes is slightly less than 14GiB, which should be more than enough for a Windows ISO.

My math: (1454942×10208)÷1024÷1024÷1024≈13.83

Edit: Damn another guy beat me to it, now I wonder how I'm so far off.

No common rube by SteveTech in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

AFAIK fast startup only affects shutdown, clicking restart will always do a full reboot. Shift clicking shutdown will do a full shutdown like you said, but shift clicking restart will start recovery mode.

Linux's New DRM Panic "Blue Screen of Death" In Action by SteveTech in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] SteveTech@programming.dev 34 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I believe the main contributor for drm_panic wants to add one eventually. Here's what it might look like:

Also it looks like the colours are configurable at compile time (with white on black default).

Soldered-on RTC batteries (with type covered as a bonus) by SteveTech in c/assholedesign@lemmy.world

[-] SteveTech@programming.dev 52 points 5 months ago

(with type covered as a bonus)

Relevant fact: Most standard non-letter batteries are named after their physical size, for example a CR2032 is 20mm diameter x 3.2mm height; or not a button battery, but an 18650 is 18mm diameter x 65.0mm height.

I know that it's rolling release, but 4 times this year seems a bit much by SteveTech in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

I'm probably jumping to conclusions, but Nvidia?

Functional 16-bit CPU built and runs in Excel, 3Hz processor includes 128KB of RAM, 16-color display, and a custom assembly language by SteveTech in c/technology@lemmy.world

Excel would be emulating the silicon here

Happy 1704067200 seconds since 1970 by SteveTech in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] SteveTech@programming.dev 39 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I don't believe so, I think OP just misremembered 1970.

The 1704067200 is the 2024 new year, in seconds from 1970 (normal Unix time).

OpenSSH is about to change. (For the better.) by SteveTech in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] SteveTech@programming.dev 82 points 11 months ago

Woah peertube federating with lemmy is actually really cool!

Valve is now reversing VAC bans due to AMD drivers in CS2, according to patch notes by SteveTech in c/games@lemmy.world

[-] SteveTech@programming.dev 33 points 1 year ago

CS2 was released as an update to CSGO, so it's effectively the same game as far as steam charts go.

KDE: Fix to weird theming in flatpaks (programming.dev)

submitted 1 year ago by SteveTech@programming.dev to c/linux@programming.dev

1 comments fedilink

This is more of a public note to self, but if anyone else had screwed up fonts, default cursors, and missing minimise/maximise buttons in flatpaks on KDE Wayland, put this in your /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/kde-portals.conf:

[preferred]
default=kde;gtk;
org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Settings=kde;gtk;

Then restart xdg-desktop-portal.

Source: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474746#c12

Apparently this will be fixed in 5.27.9 releasing on the 24th anyway, but I've tried so many different 'solutions' and this had been annoying me for weeks.

Anglican Church sacked Headmaster over compensation to child sexual abuse victims (archive.md)

submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by SteveTech@programming.dev to c/brisbane@aussie.zone

I'm not usually one to share links, but my old school's Headmaster (Dr Paul Browning at St Paul's School) is in a little bit of trouble with the Anglican church for compensating child sexual abuse victims from incidents in the 80s/90s. As he started in 2008, those victims technically weren't his problem but he refunded their tuition fees anyway because it's the right thing to do. However the Anglican church doesn't see it that way and sacked him.

I graduated in 2021, but he was truly an amazing person, somehow remembers everyone's names, greeting them whenever and while I never had him as a teacher, I've heard he was really an amazing & energetic teacher when in the classroom. I was even at the school earlier this year and was asking how I was doing with uni and stuff. I genuinely believe he doesn't deserve this.

Please share this as much as you can, there is a change.org petition, but I feel raising awareness and maybe writing to Bishop Greaves and the Anglican Schools Commission are probably the best ways that you can help!

Thanks for Reading!

Edit: A few more news outlets have covered the story including:

I think you'd have to do echo o | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger, otherwise sudo only works for the echo, not the write.

Ubuntu Plans to Ditch its 'Minimal' Install Option by SteveTech in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] SteveTech@programming.dev 152 points 1 year ago

The title's kinda clickbait, they're removing the 'Full' option and adding a choose your own apps dialogue to the 'Minimal' (and now only) option, and installs the selected apps over the internet. This reduces ISO size since the apps aren't installed by default.

Which is an action I can agree with.
