Linux

Well, I did what Lovy suggested and configured my laptop to use Google's public DNS, thus bypassing the blocking on the smartphone. But I get the feeling that leaves me worse off than before…

If I could figure out what the DNS servers of my mobile network are, I could just use those.

I don't really need a hosts file on the laptop since I use ABP and NoScript.

EDIT: Or, you know, this crowd look okay!

You shouldn't use AdBlock, instead I invite you to try Ublock origin.

Hmm, what the hey, I'll give it a whirl! I should also definitely put it on my mother's underpowered laptop when I'm home again later this week!

I run Linux 4.12.3.

Bit risky to be running something so cutting-edge, no?

Uuuh, I think he bluescreened...

PluMGMK wrote:Bit risky to be running something so cutting-edge, no?

I'd say it happened.

Bluescreen on Linux? Blasphemy I say!

We should probably save this stuff for the record itself.

[offtopic] wow the bot screwed up

Also, the closest alternative to a blue screen on Linux is a kernel panic.

YouTube · Post by **PluMGMK** » Thu Jul 27, 2017 11:59 am

Kernel panic indeed. I remember a discussion on Phoronix one time where someone said that ideally the mechanism for handling a kernel panic would try to use the Direct Rendering Manager to display information on the screen. Well, as long as it's not blue…

Here's a laugh. For some reason there's instability with GNOME on the Nouveau driver lately, which can lock up the whole system. Since I didn't want this happening during RD, I decided to disable GDM and launch Sway, my preferred window manager, directly from a console. But for some unfathomable reason, the statusbar doesn't show up at the bottom of the screen when I do this. Means more screen-space for PC, so not necessarily a bad thing I guess!

So, what do you guys think of babun, the UNIX console for Windows?

Ambidextroid · Post by **Ambidextroid** » Sat Jul 29, 2017 1:36 am

I once had a unix laptop but I can't remember which version of linux. does anyone know of a linux where the desktop is four rectangles, each with a different theme. One was internet, another was documents or something...
I'd quite like to give it another whirl for nostalgia's sake

Itooh · Post by **Itooh** » Sat Jul 29, 2017 10:25 am

Well, I don't know precisely if there is a Linux distribution with such a precise desktop agencement, but it is certainly achievable with Ubuntu!

While Ubuntu is ok in itself, there are some environments based on Ubuntu that I recommend more:
* Linux Mint - Very similar to Ubuntu (actually, it is fundamentally Ubuntu), but it has a different desktop, that I find more ergonomic and easier to customize.
* Elementary OS - Again, it's a fork of Ubuntu. This one aims to be as simple as possible to use and maintain. A good OS for beginners or people who just don't want complications.

Every one of these OS allows to have multiple desktop, naming them, and using them for whatever you want!

Four rectangles? Sounds vaguely like a KDE4 environment, if I remember right (I haven't used KDE in ages). Were you using openSUSE by any chance?

Anyway, my setup held up! Even managed to record the full 24 hours with SwayGrab, though I don't think there's anything very interesting in there. The best moment was probably when I saw Dutch figuring out my bot, but that was on my phone.

Managed to redo a base install of Gentoo again, but this time I used the kernel from the disc instead of compiling it myself. I was too impatient

No idea, I'm afraid I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to Linux, I've only used it a few times.
I do remember there was a kind of app store where you could download free Linux games, I remember a few gems such as "Angry Drunken Dwarves" and "Super Tux", aswell as one rather nightmarish metroidesque platformer...

You’re referring to Ubuntu. https://ubuntu.com

So, I've started messing with Microsoft's so-called "Windows Subsystem for Linux". I've been able to set up the Nemo file manager as an alternative to Windows Explorer, with the help of Xming, and I've also set up an SSH server. There's something weirdly satisfying about using this plus SSH to drive MS Office using remote commands from a Linux laptop.

Great!

I’ve installed Red Hat 7.3 in VMware yesterday.
