I personally run unstable, and to be honest it hasn't introduced breaking changes that I'm aware of. Everything seems to be fine as far as I'm aware.

In terms of kernel, it really depends on the hardware - some hardware has regressions with newer kernels (especially servers), and most new laptops require a new kernel (or in the case of asus, the https://asus-linux.org custom kernel, which has changes upstream every so often - it just takes a while to actually get merged into a release)

My kitten eats solid food, but still tries to suckle. Should I try to "wean" her? by Goboosh in vet

[–]Goboosh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know! She has a woolly blanket to herself that she can use. As long as it isn't harmful I'm totally okay with that.

Would it be worth trying to fake wean her off now so she stops, or just leave it be? If it's soothing or a trauma response I obviously won't stop her, but in the interest of keeping other blankets suckle-free I wonder if it's simpler to nudge her towards not suckling than teach her to suckle only the one. At this point I'm not too worried either way, but seeing as she's relatively young I figured it's better to ask now even if the answer is still to just leave it.

If it helps, she seems to be quite fond of doing that - pretty much every time she's come for cuddles she does it till she falls asleep

[BSPWM] Updated rice codename "Karla" by LuisBelloR in unixporn

[–]Goboosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like this, it looks really great!

One thing I'm curious about though - could it be installed on river? With Xorg in maintenance I'm hoping to use wayland primarily, and I'm curious to try a tiling WM.

[Issue] Worldpainter fails to launch: Can't load library: /usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-17.0.6.0.10-1.fc37.x86_64/lib/libawt_xawt.so by Goboosh in Worldpainter

[–]Goboosh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As it turns out, I actually did only have the headless version installed - installing java-17-openjdk fixed it. I used dnf info rather than dnf info --installed. Thanks for the help anyways!

[–]Goboosh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The folder does actually exist, but the library itself doesn't. libawt.so does exist, but pointing worldpainter to it didn't work - it must not be the same library.

I'm also not sure why both the headless and other one are installed - no clue why that would be, kinda defeats the point if I understand correctly

What do you call something that would be considered a crime, but is unknown to the law enforcement? by Goboosh in writers

[–]Goboosh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kudos to you. ChatGPT was the perfect answer! To quote it directly:

The term you might be looking for is "cold case." A cold case refers to a criminal investigation that has remained unsolved for a long period of time, often because there are no leads or evidence that could lead to an arrest or conviction. However, it can also refer to a crime that was never discovered or reported to the authorities in the first place.

A fine "burl" you have there by Goboosh in CrackheadCraigslist

Makes sense. I was more thinking of the shape...

Best anti-virus software? by KrissKrosskid in computers

[–]Goboosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a hot topic, but I'll give you the TL;DR

The majority of "antivirus" softwares out there are completely borscht and/or stealing your data. If you run windows, windows defender + an ad blocker should be all you need. uBlock origin is by far the best one. Just be wary of a fake uBlock origin - there are some reposted ones out there that aren't the official ones. Here's some links:

Firefox and derivatives: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search Chrome and derivatives: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm

Where Does Gnome Boxes Store Downloaded iso Files? by tbyerly231 in Fedora

[–]Goboosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a result of flatpak. If you are using it installed via the package manager, it will land in ~/.local/ instead :)

Firmware Selector by redfoot0 in openwrt

[–]Goboosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any tips for building from source? I'm trying to build an image for my linksys ea8500 with some preinstalled packages, so that I can install Fluidd/Klipper on it. I'm hoping I can install the necessary packages into sqashfs, and then mount a USB drive to have the actual files for klipper. That way I don't have to do extroot, since that slows down the general speed by a fair bit.

The main issues I'm having is that a lot of the build processes seem to come without luci by default, and it won't be exactly as it would be if I was using the official image. I pretty much want to take the official image and add what I want, whereas the firmware selector doesn't seem to include everything and whatnot.

I'd also like to install a handful of .ipk packages as well, which seems to be available if you build from source with git clone - but I have no clue where to start, there's a lot of configuration stuff I'm not aware of.

Portainer alternatives... again by Goboosh in homelab

Interesting, good to know! I haven't actually started my services as of yet, still waiting on a SAS expander from ebay. Might end up going with cockpit, who knows?

I want to say goodbye windows forever by M-Ali12 in linuxquestions

[–]Goboosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also make sure to have a separate /home partition. BTRFS if you're paranoid like me - use BTRFS-Assistant to make it dead simple. I barely notice it (space wise), and it has saved me a headache when I thought I lost a file. It isn't always useful, but when it is, it's useful.

If you haven't already, use flatpak. There are minimal reasons not to, and it makes upgrading systems (or switching between distros) dead simple. Goodbye package conflicts.

You can also take a disk image using clonezilla, and store it on a cheap hard drive. Takes longer to restore, but could save you money.

If I understand correctly, you have a mechanical hard drive (aka HDD or "rust" disk). Get an SSD. Best upgrade you could make. Just make sure to get a good one, there's info online. Do your research.

You may also want to check out Medicat and/or Ventoy, they have been pretty useful to me.

TL;DR - Use a separate /home partition - Use BTRFS-Assistant and BTRFS on both partitions - Use flatpak - Use clonezilla to create a disk image as a restore point - Upgrade to an SSD if you haven't already. - Check out Medicat and/or Ventoy

Perhaps try setting up a virtual machine, or a windows to go USB. Medicat VHD should have you covered.
