Fluxer a Discord clone?

This forum is not a drunken brawl of consumption where itches get scratched on a whim. Here, less is always more. Something for voracious grasshoppers to contemplate . . .

Sculpt OS

dummy@example.com (goat) — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 03:59:10 +0000

I actually have tried this OS and given it a quick spin. It's quite complicated and seems to have a ways to go if it wants to be anywhere near parity with BSD or GNU systems. However, I think their devs daily drive the system. So, with enough knowledge, my guess is one could daily drive this OS now; so they have come a long way.

In my experience, it has a very steep learning curve. It was an enjoyable/interesting experience however.

GTK2 Removed from Arch's Repositories

GTK2 is not dead yet...some smart folks are working on that as we speak.

ArchWiki Deletes XLibre Page, Says 'Violates Arch Code of Conduct'

Enough!

Anyone up for some testing?

Hey, y'all! I just wanted to introduce you to my new project that started out as a fork of NetbootCD (to which I'm a contributor). The differences between the original and my version is my version is x86_64 (amd64) only and supports both BIOS and UEFI booting. With that said, it was created to download one single disk image and use that to install multiple Linux distros from that single image. The ISO is a hybrid so it can be burned to a physical optical disk or directly written to a USB. There are two versions, one without wireless networking support (in case RAM is limited as it boots to that) and one with. Anyway, enough blabbering, here's a link to my Github project page. Let me know what you think.

Raspberry Pi OS and sudo

dummy@example.com (Camtaf) — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 13:59:30 +0000

....and it wasn't that long ago that the default user was 'pi', but at least now they ask at installation....

But it still annoys me that they take over the whole disk.....

After rolling back on the previous 'not available' block, now you cannot see a YouTube video unless you sign in.
For the protection of our | their the community, obviously.

What were you thinking? 8^°

But Invidious still works.
For now.

Kudos to them.

Best,

Love openbox. crunchbang was the way to go for me back then.

Updated to XFCE and think I'll now settle.

Something X11ish for you all to look at.

dummy@example.com (greenjeans) — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 17:32:25 +0000

It is interesting though, it's worth reading the readme, developer has some good points and interesting ideas, and i'm always grateful for people like that who are looking for new solutions to the wayland plague.

HexChat's GTK3 Successor: ZoiteChat

dummy@example.com (ruenoak) — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 02:48:33 +0000

Hi all, I have been using Zoitechat since It was posted here. I upgraded from 2.17.4 to 2.18.0 pre5 about a week ago now and it is working very well, version 2.18.0 pre5 supports gtk3 theme switching. There is a bug with the spell check underlining which the dev knows about and is working on it.

I'm using the Appimage on Devuan, but also testing the Snap build as well. Of course I don't think Snaps will be much of an interest here.

recent Ceres dependency

dummy@example.com (fanderal) — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 02:32:06 +0000

Dependency showed last week when upgrading from mpv-0.40.0-3+deb13u1 to mpv-0.41.0-2+b2. The mpv upgrade caused libpipewire to be upgraded which, in turn, caused libspa-0.2-modules to be upgraded.

Found a problem when checking what was to be installed. Also found a temporary solution: mpv's dependency on libpipewire is >= 1.0.4, which means upgrading libpipewire (which causes libspa-0.2-modules to be upgraded) wasn't required. Temporary solution is the older versions of libpipewire and libspa-0.2-modules shown below, remain installed and on hold.

Pkg versions and new Ceres dependency below. Seems Debian decided users need AI.

libpipewire-0.3-0t64 1.4.10-1+b1 > libpipewire-0.3-0t64 1.6.2-1
libspa-0.2-modules-1.4.10-1+b1 > libspa-0.2-modules-1.6.2-1

New dependency for libspa-0.2-modules-1.6.2-1 pkg:
libonnxruntime1.23

Purpose and dependencies:

ONNX Runtime is a cross-platform inference and training machine-learning accelerator.

ONNX Runtime inference can enable faster customer experiences and lower costs, supporting models from deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow/Keras as well as classical machine learning libraries such as scikit-learn, LightGBM, XGBoost, etc. ONNX Runtime is compatible with different hardware, drivers, and operating systems, and provides optimal performance by leveraging hardware accelerators where applicable alongside graph optimizations and transforms.
