  • May I know what plugin you use in KDE? Sounds like it's something I'd like to check out.

    Quick searches show me Bismuth and kwin-tiling, and bismuth seems to be archived.

  • Installed it on my desktop and the process was painful (my fault) because I ran out of space on my boot ssd (128Gigs) while doing the upgrades.

    I don't really have much on my boot ssd and all my important data is on my laptop, backed up to my servers, or on my desktop's HDD. I did a fresh install with a kde live usb stick and that went smooth, until something with the nvidia drivers prevented the display server from launching.

    Thankfully, I've been through this charade multiple times in the past, and I'm significantly more experienced in dealing with the kernel these days. Adding the nvidia-drm modeset kernel command line launch param worked, and my system is running deb 13. I'm so happy I have KDE plasma 6.

    Overall, a one hour process. Could have been faster if I had free space on my system lol. I'm a bit more reluctant to upgrade my servers at the moment, but I may in the upcoming months.

    One minor thing: they updated their apt sources (https://repolib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/deb822-format.html, https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/498021/deb822-style-etc-apt-sources-list#583015). Idk why, but the installer didn't create & populate the .sources file. After a quick check of the man page, I created the file and it worked.

  • Answers in Progress made a (great) video about this:

    why you were forced to learn the recorder in school

    Highlight begins at 8:06.

    There's a decent bit of history involved, going back to the Nazis in WW2.

    It's not because it's cheap to manufacture, because it wasn't back in the day. It became cheaper because it grew popular. It was about unity and cultural identity.

  • I need a recognisable domain name website that google or duckduckgo has picked as the product.

    This doesn't always work. For example, I used to (and still do) see a lot of fake websites when I l type revanced (https://revanced.app/) on duckduckgo, and I've nearly fallen for two of the fake ones before (I think two of .com / .org / .to...?)

    Thankfully ublock origin warns users of this:

    Otherwise, I'd have 100% downloaded some malware-loaded crap.

  • Also there in Passin' Me By by The Pharcyde (1992)

    When I try or make some sort of attempt, I simpDamn, I wish I wasn't such a wimp

  • Not exactly what you asked, but do you know about ufw-blocklist?

    I've been using this on my multiple VPSes for some time now and the number of fail2ban failed/banned has gone down like crazy. Previously, I had 20k failed attempts after a few months and 30-50 currently-banned IPs at all times; now it's less than 1k failed after a year and maybe 3-ish banned at any time.

    There was also that paid service where users share their spammy IP address attempts with a centralized network, which does some dynamic intelligence monitoring. I forgot the name and search these days isn't great. Something to do with "Sense"? It was paid, but well recommended as far as I remember.

    Edit: seems like the keyword is " threat intelligence platform"

  • Sure

  • Nice!

    Could you please word it slightly different to provide clarity? Perhaps:

    From now on, you can comment !lemmysilver under any post to award the poster one lemmy silver. You can do this once every 24 hours in posts that are in participating communities (see: this post for more information). Alternatively, you can send a PM to LemmySilverBot with !lemmysilver username.

  • Ah, I think I misunderstood - the lemmy silver is for one to award to a different user, and not for one to claim? I was under the impression that it was the latter.

    Neat idea!

  • Thanks loads! It's pretty sick and now is my lock screen wallpaper ;D

  • My personal website is made using Hugo, sitting behind Caddy, and hosted on Racknerd. I see elsewhere in the thread that you're looking for something akin to a $5/month VPS, but racknerd is MUCH cheaper for much more vCPU + vRAM (older hardware, but that's not a deal breaker for hosting a static website).

    I used to do $6/Month on Digital Ocean for 1 vCPU + 1GB vRAM + 1TB bandwidth, but now I'm somewhere like $3/Month for 2 vCPU + 2.5GB vRAM + 5TB bandwidth [1]. In fact, I paid $6 extra to have the server in France. Otherwise it's $30 a year.

    Check out racknerd tracker [2]. I found out about it through lemmy many months ago [3]. The person who made the website gets some affiliate stuff.

  • Can single-branch handle cloning from a particular commit? I know that it's possible to clone particular branches and particular tags with depth=1, but OP states cloning at a particular commit, not HEAD.

  • --depth=1? I use this all the time when I clone the kernel.

    Edit: reread that you wanted to download code at a particular commit.

  • I'm unsure whether your formatting messed up, but you shouldn't have a space between the shebang (#!) and the interpreter path (/bin/bash). Also add a new line before your command:

     sh
        
    #!/bin/bash
    
    gnome-terminal -- sh -c gotop
    
      

    I tried this on my system (with htop instead of gotop) and it worked.
