People think the #Matrix was about robots. It wasn't. It was about operating systems.#Windows is the blue pill.You take it, and everything stays comfortable. Pretty icons. Friendly sounds. A setup wizard asking if you want to save your soul to the #cloud. Updates appear at the worst possible moment like a Marvel post-credit scene nobody asked for. Your #PC reboots. You cry. #Microsoft thanks you for improving your experience.#Linux is the red pill.You wake up. You see how deep the #RabbitHole goes.At first, it is terrifying. The #terminal stares at you like Darth Vader asking if you know the power of the #CommandLine. You type one wrong character and feel like you accidentally launched nuclear missiles.But then something changes. You realize your #computer actually belongs to you.No ads in the Start Menu. No #AI assistant spying harder than a reality TV producer.No mysterious background process eating half your #RAM like Pac-Man after three energy drinks.You choose what gets installed. You choose when #updates happen. You choose what your #desktop looks like.You are Neo.Windows #users are still sitting in their pods, downloading the latest mandatory #update called KB-Whatever-Again, wondering why their printer suddenly speaks ancient Sumerian.Linux is not perfect. Sometimes Wi-Fi drivers behave like a side quest in Dark Souls.Sometimes you spend two hours fixing a problem just to feel smarter than everyone else.But that is the point. The red pill was never about comfort. It was about #freedom.And freedom means occasionally reading a forum post written by a Finnish guy in 2007 who solved your #problem and vanished forever like a #Jedi master.Welcome to Linux. There is no spoon. Only #sudo.#meme #choice #os #software #foss #floss #opensource #gnu #gpl #computer #user #nerd #just4fun #system

New."The emails contained links to GitHub repositories masquerading as technical assignments or cryptocurrency-related projects. The instructions encouraged the target to clone the repository and open it in an editor such as VS Code or Cursor. A pre-configured task executes silently when the user opens the repository folder in the IDE, triggering platform-specific loaders that decode embedded payloads on Linux, macOS, and Windows."Proofpoint: Don't Fear the Repo: UNK_DeadDrop Phishing Campaign Targets Developers to Steal Cryptocurrency https://www.proofpoint.com/us/blog/threat-insight/dont-fear-repo-unkdeaddrop-phishing-campaign-targets-developers-steal #threatresearch #infosec #phhishing #GitHub #Linux #MacOS #Windows11
Das größte Problem am #Diday ist die Masse an Programmen die einem jetzt zur Verfügung stehenEs reicht nicht diese nur kurz auszuprobierenEs bedarf schon einer Einarbeitung von ein paar WochenDie Programme die Ihr unter #Windows genutzt habt mussten ja auch erst verstanden werdenInformiert euch vorher was Ihr nutzt Unter #Linux kann ich alles genau so machen wie unter #Win Es funktioniert nur anders und vieles ist einfacherNur dauert es ein bisschen bis alles eingestellt ist.

For everyone using apt.hostnetwork.xyzI just changed the architecture how my repository is installed, separating pgp key and repositories into different deb packages. this fixes the problem of how to enable/disable other repositories but also ends up removing the old list file causing the repository to be removed from apt.To prevent this install the apt.hostnetwork.xyz-main packages before upgrading packages.For new installation method see https://apt.hostnetwork.xyz/README.txt#apt #deb #linux
In converting my arcade machine from Windows to CachyOS to NixOS, I discovered that #NixOS does not have some of my needed libretro cores, so time to start trying to contribute. Submitted a pull request for the pokemini core as a start. Got plans for a few more missing cores I need soon after.Maybe some more emulators coming a little bit later once I get a few commits to nixpkgs under my belt.#linux #opensource #nixos #emulation #libretro #retroarch
De-googlization successful! After one botched attempt last night (blog I was using didn't list quite /ALL/ the steps...) we are in business with Debian 13 and XFCE as my GUI.#AmateurRadio #Linux
