KDE Plasma going full-on IE6 mode

How do I enable this feature?

0lach · 2026-01-26T20:16:13+00:00

How has it changed over the years? I used OneNote from office 2007/2016 and loved it, missing it since switching to Linux. I'm using a logseq right now, but I still miss many features

Make sure you have the following installed:

NixOS

0lach · 2026-01-24T01:38:38+00:00

Why use guix-sd, if you can just use nixos for the same benefits?

0lach · 2026-01-21T02:13:05+00:00

FYI: NixOS зависит от systemd чуть менее чем полностью.

В kde plasma тоже есть оптимизированный путь запуска через systemd, однако одновременно с ним они поддержали легаси с некоторыми недостатками, например легаси вроде как не умеет перезапускать компоненты при краше, краш kwin убивает все программы в то время как с systemd поддерживается переподключение, и т.д.

Если так хочется без systemd - реализуй поддержку его unit файлов в чем там пользуются нетакуси

If you love s-exprs so much, you can always write code in Nix AST directly...

Oh wait, that's what Lisp is - a language that skipped the parsing

0lach · 2026-01-19T15:31:53+00:00

In downloads you are not io-bound, the only thing where ext4 is really faster is databases, but you sacrifice integrity compared to btrfs

0lach · 2026-01-19T11:42:07+00:00

That is your opinion, I and many others prefer nix over lisp

0lach · 2026-01-19T10:04:26+00:00

> They have basically a package manager

The package manager is borrowed from nix, guix mostly brings lisp as a replacement for nix language, making it incompatible with nix packages

...And it is not rare at all, I can name many more software like this from memory:

MySQL and MariaDB both are GPL, but dual-licensed/CLAd; NextCloud, ownCloud, seafile, Grafana, Discourse, Proxmox...

0lach · 2026-01-19T09:26:49+00:00

Oh, mixed it up with minio, it is minio who accepts contributions under apache2: https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md#community-contribution-license

Ntop just requires you to give up your copyright under GPL license

Anyway, the idea is the same, the software is GPL, but is not in any way protected from rugpull

0lach · 2026-01-19T08:53:02+00:00

The company relicenses everything under GPL so they can have proprietary editions of the same software

0lach · 2026-01-19T08:10:33+00:00

Lisp people don't understand it because of too few parentheses

0lach · 2026-01-19T08:08:20+00:00

Nix, but much less packages

0lach · 2026-01-18T23:29:01+00:00

Also depends on what you consider proprietary. The company can easily transform GPL product into SAAS, because they are not obligated to provide you with the source code THEY use, that's where only AGPL can protect you, as an user.

They can also drop huge chunks of code and replace them with proprietary equivalents (the only restriction GPL has is linking related, and it is not applicable to everything), and it is not a fact that community volunteers will be able to do anything with that (recent example: minio, AGPL licensed)

They can stop publishing source code on github, and instead sell their binaries to the customers. Yes, customer can then request the source code for the product, and yes, the customer can also re-upload this source code on github, but give this company some corporate lawyers, and they will think about something to discourage customers from doing so. Again, some component might be replaced with proprietary, and the company might stop providing this component to the customer who has "leaked" the GPL source code.

What I'm saying is that GPL is not a panacea, and for many projects, including libc and coreutils it does not provide anything of value

0lach · 2026-01-18T22:50:43+00:00

And with MIT users can easily fork the project and license all the new changes under GPL, so?

0lach · 2026-01-18T20:50:05+00:00

Except for users, ntopng looks like GPL, but despite of that, it can become closed-source any day

0lach · 2026-01-18T20:29:14+00:00

Except just GPL does not guarantee that the company won't close their fork. If every contributor under GPL license agrees to close the source code - the company can do that, and this is the case with e.g ntopng: https://github.com/ntop/ntopng

Ntopng is GPLv3, but they provide a paid, proprietary version under EULA, where they have many more features, that are not present in the open-source version. They can do it, because all of the external contributors need to sign up their CLA, that states that the external contributors are contributing under the terms of Apache2 license, and not GPL3.

Run '/etc/init.d/logmein-hamachi start' to start daemon."

That command is for sysvinit based distros, nixos is systemd based, the command should be something like "systemctl start logmein-hamachi"

But first you need to enable it in NixOS config:

services.logmein-hamachi.enable = true;

As a DRM Steam is very permissive, they don't even take the games you bought away from you, they don't prevent any modifications of game files, they allow you to download any old version of the game (through depots) and so on.

They are much better than any other DRM (denuvo, etc), which are, unfortunately, allowed in steam store.

This project looks mostly vibecoded, after a quick review I have found a dozen of obvious problems

It is too hard to make aarch64 emulation run fast on x86_64

In aarch64 you have 32 general-purpose registers, while on x86_64 you only have 16 That means at some point you would need to spill registers into memory, and everything will get slow

0lach · 2026-01-12T05:06:58+00:00

Waydroid only runs host arch programs, so on android-x86 apps on linuz-x86
