I like both, but usually prefer Ubuntu
  • Ubuntu is no longer chad as it pushes snaps everywhere. Real chad uses native packaging only. Lol

  • VirtualBox 7.1 Released with Qt 6 GUI, Wayland Support for Clipboard Sharing - 9to5Linux
  • Neat. As I am in the process of fully migrating to wayland, it is good. I only work as a teacher, so I don't really concern about licensing, lol.

  • What Linux distro surprised you the most?
  • Arch Linux. Many people said it is unstable and hard to setup. It turns out very stable as long as I update it frequently and AUR makes installing software easier. Even easier than ppa-based ubuntu as it will destroy your dependency if you are not careful. Lol.

  • Single-user Mastodon Instance is a Bad Idea
  • Just uses Akkoma or GoToSocial, setup fedifetcher or follow some relays and you can get good enough experience in Fediverse. Mastodon is literally build to handle huge amount of users so it is nowhere near efficient if used for just 1 person.

  • GoToSocial is a new ActivityPub social network server for the Fediverse
  • Akkoma. It uses a bit higher ram and resource than GtS but it is packed with features.

  • GoToSocial is a new ActivityPub social network server for the Fediverse
  • It is nice and small server that do the basic well. I once use it on my poor $5 vps while being stuffed together with several of my PHP/MySQL apps. It has small footprint, several of my friends still use it on half-gigs ram vps.
    But its lack of features sucks tho, there are no working filters, no disable re-toot per users setting (like on akkoma), and also there are no relay support so my timeline looks bare.
    I migrate from GtS for now, but if above features are implemented in near future, may be I'll migrate back to GtS.

  • What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?
  • Deleting efi partition just because grub not updated yet.. 😅

  • Do you use aliases?
  • me:
    wgup="sudo wg-quick up wg0"
    wgdown="sudo wg-quick down wg0"
    and some pacman cleaning command..
    edit: forgot that it is markdown

  • Tottenham agree Werner loan deal with RB Leipzig
  • Agreed, son is Asian Cup bound. They need a temporary replacement, ASAP.

  • Oh I love Trash
  • I haven't used facebook for years, but I do use twitter a lot to check whats happening in my area. Same for instagram, but I am not using thread at all.

  • The Lemmy experience
  • Same here.. never look back..

  • Lemmy.world status update 2023-07-05
  • Web-ui is very smooth rn.. is this .world?
    😅
    Joke aside, the improvement is like heaven and earth. Love it!. Good work teams!

  • What Mastodon server are you on?
  • I mostly active on my own (non-mastodon fediverse) instance, I do have account on small instance, but it is collecting the dust most of the time.
    Given you are on Lemmyworld, I think it is better to join mastodon.world. It is also owned and managed by te same people who runs lemmyworld. I like their transparency.

  • Fediverse alternatives
  • Cool!, but the fedi software is not just that (especially #twitterverse ones). There are:

    • Gotosocial -> a small server first fediverse-server apps. You can spun it with just $4 vps and get a dedicates instance with features comparable to Mastodon.
    • Snac2 -> a smaller fediverse server apps, it even use less resources than Gotosocial, but the UI is so oldschool.
    • Microblog.pub -> a python-based single user focused server apps for tinkerers. It fully compatible with Fediverse/Mastodon with nice ui.

    I tried all of them and still use both Gotosocial and and Snac2 instances daily, and they are a nice piece of software for their own use-case. Granted, all of these list above is not straightforward to use, but can you add that on advanced category. It feels unfair if it just the usual trio (Mastodon, Misskey/Calkey, Pleroma/Akkoma) that has exposure in the forum. thx.

  • Lemmy devs approaching the reddit API deadline like
  • I feel for them. Keep strong...

  • Posting slowness issue seems solved!
  • Seems okay accessed from South East Asia.. thx @ruud@lemmy.world !

  • [Guess not...] Installed lemmy-ui 0.18.0 RC-1
  • thanks it is normal now. May be ui version 1.18 also need server to have same version?

    Hyprland Desktop Environment - Lemmy.World

    Hi, I saw a post requesting somebody to make a community for Hyprland Users on #threadverse, so I made one. Hyprland is a Wayland Tiling Window Manager (WM) based on wl-roots library. It aims to make an easy to use Tiling WM without compromising its look. It has neat animation and eyecandy effect that makes it popular with Linux ricer community (formerly on r/LinuxPorn). It was made by Vaxry and still actively developed. For anybody interested feel free to join on !hyprland@lemmy.world. cheers!
