#78 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » excalibur/KDE non-root X11 session is broken » 2025-10-12 06:05:25
i try to read all the new posts in an attempt to continue my education
and so i did a search and figured i might as well include it here for the future addicted autodidacts
https://start.duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=excalibur+kde+sddm+qemu+vm
also since i did it...
https://start.duckduckgo.com/lite/?q="sddm"
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-customize-the-sddm-display-manager-on-linux
another intriguing thought occurred regarding vt handoffs since just yesterday i was reviewing grub entries on a dual boot machine with windows eleven and xubuntu 24.04.3 and saw something similar(that i don't believe i had ever witnessed before iirc)...anywho, enjoy!
more since i just experienced it(again, ha!)...
i get significantly different search results by using/not-using quotation-marks(double quote marks actually as seen above with "sddm") as well as searching with/without browser add-ons such as noscript, privacy badger, ublock origin, etc. activated(just thought i would add that as it seems to be relevant to the encouragement of others regarding current-day internet searches/searching/etc), as always - ymmv.

adding a link mostly for future thread visitors:
https://www.howtogeek.com/6169/use-truecrypt-to-secure-your-data/
yes the link says "truecrypt" but the how-to says "veracrypt" ... who knows why? ymmv.

#83 Re: Installation » firefox on old 32 bit cpu » 2025-09-27 06:09:02
the fine folks over at Tiny Core Linux Forum are also talking about 32-bit Firefox:

(fyi, nevertheless the OP OT issue regarding cpu not supporting SSE3 is probably a non-starter)
#84 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » question about resizing luks2 drives » 2025-09-22 06:04:09

very much appreciate Cameron Kaiser's latest:
strongly encourage visits to Cameron Kaiser's website:
also see What's In The Retro Room and Server Room
as well as the fun had by all unboxing the Raptor Talos II
or perhaps you'd enjoy a trip down the gopher hole
enjoy!

thinking about small binaries
i was checking to see if there was a newer version of EasyOS(which is now based on Devuan) and this rabbithole was the result:

someday i would like to breakdown 4.4.10 Damn Small Linux(the last one before Robert Shingledecker went full-time on Tiny Core Linux) just to see if it could be somewhat modernized. also see Slitaz and the various Puppy Linux spins.
yes, i know dsl is supposedly "back" but it isn't small anymore(not that anything is these days).

pro-tip: if you toggle to "reader view" in firefox you can then fairly easily select all and cut/paste into a simple text document/file for offline reading(roughly a 150KB file / 24 page pdf)
more: the link referenced in the previous post is probably not the best offered at yt(commenters complained of numerous ads/commercials through the near 4hr audio-only "video" although i didn't personally sample said 4hrs)
