Linux@lemmy.ml•An upcoming California law requires operating system providers to enforce basic mandatory age verification

Nice. What do you use wifi access at home? One thing the AT&T box has done well enough has been to provide wifi access throughout the house.
Yes, we went over this point multiple times, including the distinction between a reboot and a factory reset. He said the device does this to “protect itself”. Although I only care about protecting from blips, I think a small UPS may be the way to go. Though guess that means if the power is out for more than 15 minutes, my AT&T modem may still factory reset itself!

73·24 days agoClickbait headline.
SSNs have been understood to not be a reliable “secret” for years and were never intended to be one.
The solution has always been to quite treating them that way, not to repeat the same mistake of creating yet another database full of new SSNs which would also be quickly compromised.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Bazzite has seen a massive jolt in growth over the holiday season, surpassing 50k active users. The Fedora Atomic image has gained 38.8k users total in 2025 since it began counting in April 🥳
1·2 months agoThat’s not what the FAQ says, rather it says Flatpaks are often sandboxed but not fully containerized. Containers don’t need to have a performance penalty because they run on the same kernel as the host. Container tech applies a chroot, disables some capabilities within the container and that’s about it. They are in contrast to virtual machines that need to boot an entire additional OS before doing anything.
I am the sysadmin and I approve this message.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux is awesome at home, but aren't y'all forced to use Windows at work?
5·3 months agoMy job involves maintaining Linux servers so there are no problems with Linux as my desktop.
Currently Arch Linux as the desktop OS.
Years ago I used a voicemail to text service that worked like that— It was powered by human transcribers.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Wayland, Switching between & focusing windows with just hotkeys?
3·3 months agoThis is better than directional arrows or alt tab because you can go directly to any window with one binding to open the utility and a second key to type a window label.

The beauty is that it’s the same short process to go to any window no matter if if you 15 visible windows across 3 monitors.
You don’t have to conceptually switch to an output and then to a window or type a string of directional keys like Super+LLLLLJJ

Linux@lemmy.ml•Wayland, Switching between & focusing windows with just hotkeys?
1·3 months agoOn a 4k monitor, I sometimes have 6 or 8 visible plus 3 or 4 more on a second and another on a third.
So something like sway-easyfocus for direct jumping via keyboard is quite nice.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Wayland, Switching between & focusing windows with just hotkeys?
5·3 months agoSway does not allow you to jump directly to a non-adjacent window natively, no.
But find sway-easyfocus which I contributed to. It does exactly this.
That’s real engineering when you throw away the first draft and start over.
As opposed to quitting or trying to force the first approach riddled with problems to work.
But companies like to make money default though.
Let me get this straight, you want to suspend AND resume?
















Thanks to all for the feedback. I have a UPS installed and running now.
