Happy to see #OnePlus commiting on providing updates for their phones for 3 years now. And new features for 2 years π
And it is affecting current devices like the 3/3T and 5/5T too π

An important piece of context I'm not sure everybody has: OpenSSH is the single best piece of computer networking software ever made. It is the Swiss army knife of networking, an internet power user's chef's spatula.
I wanna make sure we're on the same page about this.
It has occurred to me that to become an expert on something, all you really have to do is live with it.
People at work sometimes ask me how I have so many random tips on tiny edge cases of this or that. It's because I use this stuff every day. I don't go home to Windows or Mac. I live and work on Linux, using open source tools. You get really familiar with these things after 365*N days of use.
So, #QubesOS is pretty cool and all, but the fact that a shortcut that's hard wired into my brain makes the whole system freeze without any way to recover makes it quite useless. Also, poor video performance and lack of full screen apps isn't helping my view.
Am I awake? What year is it?
I must have fallen asleep while tidying up those log files... Sorry about that.
Great, so I can consistently crash #QubesOS. Seems like a pretty good software π
Show up to site to test. Fully kitted out.
Donβt have ethernet dongle.
I fucking hate βmodernβ computers.
@StuC I was actually trying to forward a whole USB bus (I installed a separate USB controller card), however that didn't work. But thanks to your tip, I googled how to create a USB qube and using that I forwarded the WiFi dongle to sys-net, which now works perfectly π
Does anyone using Qubes OS know, if I can use a USB wifi dongle for my internet connection?
#qubesos #wifi #followerpower #infosec maybe?
PSA: if a user habitually boosts stuff you don't want to see, you can turn off boosts just for them without unfollowing them
view their profile in the regular masto UI and you'll see a "Hide boosts from X" in the hamburger menu
this can make the whole experience a lot less annoying, but it's not well-known!
Whenever I use Calendar and Contacts on Android, I wonder if anyone ever used these apps for more than just looking at events created on a PC. C'mon, even iOS is better at this..

I hope Microsoft sees how much "Linux" or FOSS love it 'back'
Microsoft is a saboteur whose sabotage relies on lies about "love"
Well... RIP #Github!
I was sad at first, and I guess I still am as I liked Github (even though it had its issues). But at the same time, this is, hopefully, a huge victory for federation! It'd be great if the folks at #Gitlab could integrate some sort of federated search like #Mastodon has.
Imagine that, a proper interconnected federated github like network.
Is it just me or are the Gitlab servers quite slow right now? π€
