This might be a longshot... but the fediverse might be the best place for me to post this and get the reply of fellow Linux friends.

One of my kid's buddies found an in-the-box Samsung SM-T113 "Tab." Doing searches, I see it may be possible to put something like PostMarketOS on it.

Anyone out there have experience in this?

boosts appreciated

GNU Emacs: new critical remote shell injection vulnerability.

Red Hat discovered a command injection flaw in the text editor Emacs. It allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute any command on your computer. The vulnerability is activated when you visit a malicious website or link.

I WOULD USE COMPUTER IF: (Tux plushy) This was the kernel (Xenia plushy) This was the user experience (Firefox plushy) This was the web browser (Mastodon plushy) This was the social media

As I'm finding my way back to active duty in postmarketOS, I'm yet again concluding that I just can't handle maintaining a kernel fork anymore with no upstream in sight.

So this is yet another call for someone to take over rebasing and updating the SDM845 kernel. I'm happy to help deal with regressions, but I'm spending so much of my time lately working on tooling and U-Boot, something has to give and that has been the kernel maintenance.

Joel has done a great job at helping out (and hopefully will continue to do so!) but we're lacking someone to deal with regular updates, get all the devices tested, etc...

If this is something you're interested in and you have some relevant experience please let me know! so many folks are relying on SDM845 devices for their Linux Mobile use or development, so providing some kind of relatively stable platform is pretty important...

Not looking for any xz style maintainers, thanks!

TIL, wget2 is the successor of GNU Wget with much faster download speed due to usage of parallel connections and other such stuff. You can install wget using APT or DNF or package manager of your choice. But they have a web page too https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2

I'm trying to set up #Sharkey on my homelab for professional use. I've got it running on a Docker Swarm.

For some reason redis, meilisearch, and pgroonga are frequently throwing "No file descriptors available" errors.

Have never had this issue self-hosting any other software. Increased hard & soft `ulimit -n` for root & all users from 1024 to 65536, no change. `ulimit -n` in container is reported as 1048576 anyway.

I gonna save this to just post it every time one of those entitled FOSS-bros crosses my path.

If the only way for people to use a computer is to either become a developer yourself or suffer through exploitation by big corporations it isn't an individual failure of those people, it's an absolute failure of the FOSS / Linux community to build good software.

How retro! The new Nintendo Switch 2 will bring back the classic AA batteries you loved inserting into your Nintendo Gameboy! Recreate that sense of pride and accomplishment you felt unboxing that Nintendo Gameboy from under the Christmas Tree with 16 AA battery holders on the main console and 1 on each JoyCon. Play on! #nintendoswitchnews #playon #linux #stillwithher

back of a nintendo switch with a few poorly edited additions. the word "two" has been perspective warped after the text "nintendo switch". two double-sided 8-battery AA holders have been added to the back with no visible attachment mechanism, just wires. each joycon has a single battery holder each. i don't actually know if they're AA battery holders, they just look kind of like them

For this weeks video I wanted to go over one of my favorite desktop tools, Flameshot~ Its an awesome open source Screenshot Editing utility that I absolutely love~ ​​
