#Linux Fu

[monsterqueers]

So ive been using linux for a good while now, and its now officially my daily driver. Windows is now permabenched in a removed hhd in a drawer unless something awful happens. (Good riddance, havent truly enjoyed windows since xp)

And from this I think that people urging others to move to linux are not doing so in the correct way.

Instead of trying to push a friendly distro and insisting it will work for everything and everyone, instead check if the hardware they are using specifically is good for linux and if so what families.

One computer will be a breeze with any distro, another could have a few quirks but be basically fine, however another of the same year and manufacturer could be an uphill battle thats straight up unusable even for someone who knows how to do the kernel edit workarounds for all but specific distros, if that.

My desktop took linux mint like a dream, 100% painless with no fucking about to make it work and even no need for an ethernet cable to get things started. My dinosaur laptop (may it rest in peace after other components died) had a few issues but also worked very well with little effort with mint. My current junk laptop is an uphill battle that will require arch AND edits to the kernel paremeters to work without being filled with screen flashing and full system freezes at random and im still gearing up the gumption to give it another few attempts to actually pull it off.

Each of these computers is a VERY different experience, and if your prospective switcher is using a computer that doesnt play well, its NOT going to work, they will get frustrated, and they will give up. They have to work with what they have.

Instead of going right to telling them to switch and that anything is good, Encourage people to search up their pc+linux compatibility if they are looking to switch to determine if its viable for a newbie who doesnt want to struggle, then offer a distro that has a live usb/dvd version if possible for them to test without install, and a big enough userbase that troubleshooting is as painless as possible.

If its a laptop, archwiki has lists of those by maker (linked in the page given) with notes on what has been tested in that family of linux.

This, I think, above all, is the most important thing when trying to get people to switch:

MAKE SURE THEIR HARDWARE IS GOOD FOR IT

Not just the pc, but the peripherals too; their mouse, their mic, their webcam, their keyboard- these things are not always supported well.

Linux can be fast, easy, and really comfortable and painless with little to no troubleshooting or tedious workarounds to get your stuff to work; but you have to be using the right hardware.

Yes, make sure you have alternative programs lined up that are actually good (stop reccing gimp when krita is a way better P$ alternative for people trying to draw digitally), and maybe consider talking about how to run wine in a newbie friendly way for things they might need for work reasons that dont work on linux normally(and accept that it might not work even with wine), but above all, make sure that its not just being phrased as 'a you problem' when it might be their system that is the issue there.

For prospective switchers that tried but gave up because of glitches or freezes or things otherwise not working: It wasnt you being bad at computers. Sometimes it just doesnt work with that hardware well and there is nothing you can do. People dont warn you about this, but its a very real issue.

If you still want to try linux, when you eventually get a new computer in the future, look for one that seems to be supported by linux well- some pcs even come with linux preinstalled for you even (dell does this with ubuntu and ubuntu has skins that looks windows esque). Asking specifically for linux compatible or linux preinstalled computers signals to developers to make more computers that work with linux, and makes it easier to get linux friendly stuff.

If not, there are windows 11 neutering tools out there in the wild that are very useful and are a plenty fine alternative to switching. You should only switch if you want to switch.

Command Line Fu [Explained]

Transcript Under the Cut

[Two men talking.]

Cueball: Last night I was watching videos with this girl and my monitors kept turning off - even though I had disabled power save. Friend: Odd.

Cueball: However! I wrote a command to jiggle the mouse pointer every couple minutes to keep it from going idle.

Friend: Not the first hack I'd try, but see? Linux has problems, but it gives you the tools to deal with them - and save your date! Cueball: Actually, I was half an hour into the pointer scripting documentation when she got dressed and left.

PSA regarding Win11 13th August update and Ubuntu partitions

Just in case any other simmers (or anyone using Win11 and Linux Ubuntu on the same device) are experiencing this: After installing the latest update for Windows 11, I could not boot my Linux system, instead getting a message saying "something has gone seriously wrong - security policy violation." Using F12 boot options, I managed to get back onto my Windows desktop - but all my Sims stuff is on Linux, so...

Here's how it can be fixed. With some help from my mum's incredible librarian google-fu, I discovered that pressing the F12 key while starting up your PC to access setup options, then going to the Boot option and disabling Secure Boot, was the necessary fix for this issue. I'm on my Linux desktop now, typing this up for anyone else having the same issue.

Note that I did not figure this out myself. My mum did the search for fixes and found someone else who'd had and resolved the same problem, so full credit to them for finding the solution. I wish I had the link, or at least their online name, but just to repeat: this is not my fix. (Edit: Mum also found the name: Berry Win) Either way, I'm putting this on my blog so that anyone else experiencing this can (hopefully) sort it too.

OH MY FU-RICK

Linux, why the f-heck do you tell Krita to open my selected images into separate tabs instead of f-oxing _layering them_ my gosh.

[garballax]

This is horrible news, though it is not surprising. And it's about to get much, MUCH worse. Next year, Microsoft will kill Windows 10, and 11 has a much more strict set of hardware requirements. Just in my org alone, I know how much shit we're going to have to throw out. Many are perfectly fine computers (would make excellent Linux boxes), just a 7th gen CPU is "holding it back."

MEANWHILE, those motherfuckers at M$ have the audacity to greenwash themselves when they're actively making the problem so much worse. AND WINDOWS 11 CAN RUN ON "UNSUPPORTED" HARDWARE.

Don't get me fucking started on Apple either and the parameters for which something is "obsolete." It's going to be bad when they kill off the Intel Macs, I'm sure.

I know I'm screaming into the void here, but this shit is killing me inside and all I can do is complain while corporations fuck our assholes wide open.

I also understand that hardware cannot be supported forever. There has to be a cutoff. But I do not believe there are legitimate reasons for this cutoff. I have installed Win 11 on "unsupported" hardware MYSELF. I know that it is a lie, and that the push to force people onto newer hardware is financially motivated and not due to impossible technical limitations.

I know that I sound like a tinfoil hat conspiracist. I am rambling out of frustration, after all. But, what I have said here is all provable. If you are interested in this topic, please research further and don't just take my word for it. Sorry again for the rant.

Cassandra Crossing/ Archivismi: archiviamo Cassandra, parte prima

New Post has been published on https://www.aneddoticamagazine.com/it/cassandra-crossing-archivismi-archiviamo-cassandra-parte-prima/

Cassandra Crossing/ Archivismi: archiviamo Cassandra, parte prima

(564) — Oggi cambiamo lato della medaglia; niente tecnica, raccontiamo una storia vera.

31 dicembre 2023 Nelle ultime tre puntate abbiamo lavorato su Internet Archive, ma solo con esempi semplici.

Archiviare vuole però spesso dire archiviare una quantità di materiali diversi, con uno scopo finale. Ed in questi casi non ci sono esempi semplici che bastino; il diavolo sta sempre nei dettagli, e le informazioni più utili si apprendono ascoltando storie ed esperienze reali.

Ecco che oggi Cassandra vi racconterà una storia vera, tuttora non conclusa, e parlerà solo di dettagli che non hanno a che fare direttamente con Internet Archive, ma con le fasi preliminari una campagna di archiviazione generica, in cui il lavoro più lungo è ritrovare, raccogliere e soprattutto preparare il materiale per l’archiviazione vera e propria.

E cosa di meglio che raccontare la campagna di archiviazione di Cassandra Crossing? Si, era da tempo che Cassandra metteva da parte pezzi destinati ad essere archiviati. Ma andiamo con ordine.

Le origini di Cassandra Crossing risalgono al lontano 2003, la pubblicazione regolare (beh, quasi regolare….) inizia invece nel 2005 su Punto Informatico. Prosegue poi su altre testate come Zeusnews.it, talvolta in parallelo. Si estende anche su carta e in video.

I materiali disponibili erano dei tipi più svariati; file di testo con e senza accenti, file di word processor di tipi diversi, file pdf e chi più ne ha più ne metta. Tanti file sono ovviamente andati semplicemente persi.

Fu così che parecchi anni fa Cassandra cercò il modo di recuperare, omogeneizzare e centralizzare tutto il corpus di Cassandra.

Come in tutte le cose, conviene buttarsi a capofitto in un lavoro, ma pensare, programmare, fare e poi cercare una via ancora migliore. Dopo diversi tentativi, Cassandra ha provato Medium.com, un social specializzato per scrittori od aspiranti tali. Oltre a fornire un punto unico, in cui scrivere con un discreto editor online ed immagazzinare gli articoli, Medium.con è dotato di una ottima funzionalità di importazione di testo da qualunque sito, anche con pagine piene di pubblicità od effetti vari.

E’ dotato di una funzionalità di esportazione dei dati utente, che salvava i singoli articoli in formato in HTML.

Fu così che Cassandra centralizzò l’archivio su Medium.com, non senza aver dedicato molto tempo a ritrovare, con i motori di ricerca, i link ai vecchi articoli, mai archiviati in locale o comunque perduti.

Ma la soluzione non era soddisfacente per vari motivi, a cominciare dal fatto che gli articoli erano in un cloud, e peggio ancora in quello che sostanzialmente era un social, con tutti gli aspetti deleteri che Cassandra odia e vi racconta spesso.

E così Cassandra decise di iniziare ad archiviare Cassandra Crossing su Internet Archive. E visto che si partiva da un archivio completo in formato omogeneo, sembrava dovesse essere una passeggiata. “Madornale errore”, come usa dire Jack Slater.

Infatti l’omogeneità necessaria non è solo una questione di formato, ma soprattutto di struttura interna e di omogeneità delle informazioni memorizzate dei file degli articoli.

Partiamo dalla cosa più semplice: i nomi dei file. Ovviamente Medium.com utilizza una sua filosofia, e forma il nome dalla data di pubblicazione (non quella originaria, ma quella su Medium.com), aggiungendo un identificativo binario ed una derivazione del titolo.

Qualcosa tipo

2023–12–29_Cassandra-Crossing — Archivismi — l-organizzazione-dei-documenti-in-Internet-Archive-e83b9e3b9cca.html

Ora, è pur vero che i file si rinominano anche a mano, ma si tratta di un lavoro improbo quando i file sono centinaia o migliaia. Automatizzare diventa indispensabile. Per fortuna in Linux sono disponibili linguaggi di scripting potenti e librerie che hanno del miracoloso.

Si riesce quindi a rinominare abbastanza facilmente i file togliendo, aggiungendo e riordinando informazioni. Paradossalmente la cosa più difficile è stata inserire automaticamente il numero dell’articolo all’inizio del nome del file.

Per fortuna Cassandra, che talvolta è metodica, aveva l’abitudine di scrivere il numero dell’articolo all’inizio del sottotitolo, mettendolo tra parentesi tonde. Con qualche piccola alchimia di espressioni regolari è stato così possibile estrarlo automaticamente ed utilizzarlo per costruire un più “umano” nome di file come

562_Cassandra-Crossing — Archivismi — l-organizzazione-dei-documenti-in-Internet-Archive.html

Poi è stato necessario elaborare i file, ripulirli e convertirli in formati bene archiviabili.

Il primo passo necessario è stato ripulire i file html da una immane quantità di tag nascosti, totalmente inutili per definire il testo ma necessari per garantire le funzionalità del sito di Medium.com. Infatti, come tutti i social, Medium.com implementa le funzioni di esportazioni al minimo sindacale richiesto dal (sempre sia lodato) GDPR, e quindi produce dati completi si, ma non adatti per essere facilmente riutilizzati.

La soluzione migliore che Cassandra ha trovato è stata quella di convertire l’html in formato markdown, filtrare delle linee che non contenevano informazioni utili e riconvertirlo nuovamente in html. Questo piccolo miracolo è stato possibile grazie alle librerie di conversione documentale Pandoc, coadiuvate dalle normali utilità unix come grep.

Ora che i file sono ripuliti ed hanno un nome umano sussiste ancora il problema delle immagini incluse nei file. Infatti le immagini non vengono esportate con gli altri dati, e gli url delle immagini puntano tutti ai server di Medium.com, che quindi, malgrado tutto il lavoro fatto, ha ancora in pugno una parte importante degli articoli.

E’ necessario quindi convertire le immagini remote in immagini inline, dentro lo stesso codice html, codificandole in base64. Questo processo, concettualmente semplice, deve di solito essere svolto a mano per ogni singolo file ed url; per fortuna esiste il modo di farlo automaticamente, tramite il parametro — self-contained, aggiunto al comando Pandoc di riscrittura dell’html.

Per l’archiviazione, il formato principale scelto è comunque il pdf, che non ha questo problema perché convertendo l’html in pdf le immagini vengono inserite direttamente nel file.

Per non farsi mancare niente, sempre grazie ai miracoli di Pandoc, Cassandra ha potuto convertire in maniera semplicissima in pdf tutti i formati già prodotti, l’html di partenza, il markdown e l’html semplificato, scegliendo poi il migliore.

Il risultato, per ora, lo trovate qui.

Concludendo, un paio di giornate “piene” di lavoro hanno portato a questo script bash di 39 righe, certamente non ottimale né privo di errori, che qui comunque commenteremo, giusto per rendere l’idea. Capirlo a grandi linee è sufficiente. Ma se vi servisse, riutilizzarlo sarebbe per voi un bel risparmio di tempo.

# Procedura per la preparazione all’archiviazione degli articoli # di Cassandra Crossing # # inizializzazioni varie _base=”./tuttocassandra_elaborazione/” _base2=”./posts/” _base3=”./markdown/” _base4=”./temp/” _base5=”./html/” _base6=”./pdf/” _temp=”temp.txt” # # cambio directory di lavoro, creazione directory e pulizia file cd “$_base” mkdir markdown html temp pdf rm ./markdown/* ./html/* ./temp/* ./pdf/* cd “$_base2” rm “$_temp” _dfiles=”*” # # inizio loop principale for f in $_dfiles do rm “$_temp” # # estrazione del numero dell’articolo g=`grep -Eo -m 1 ‘\([0–9]+\)’ $f | tr -d ‘()’` g=”000″$g g=`echo $g | rev | cut -c 1–3 | rev` h=`echo $f | cut -d ‘_’ -f2- | rev | cut -d ‘-’ -f2-| rev` # # formazione del nuovo nome del file e copia col nuovo nome i=$g”_”$h echo “ — -> Identifier: $i” cp $f “../$_base4$i.html” # # conversione in formato markdown, ripulitura e riconversione in html pandoc -f html -t markdown “../”$_base4$i”.html” > “$_temp” grep -v “^:::” “$_temp” |sed -e ‘s|#.*||g’ > “../”$_base3$i”.md” pandoc — self-contained -f markdown -t html “../”$_base3$i”.md”> “../”$_base5$i”.html” pandoc — pdf-engine=xelatex -f markdown -t pdf “../”$_base3$i”.md” > “../”$_base6$i”.pdf” # # pulizia e fine ciclo done rm -rf “$_temp” “../$_base4”

(Se dovete copiare questa procedura, rimettete a posto i doppi apici curvi con quelli normali, gli apici semplici curvi con quelli normali, il segno meno lungo con due segni meno normali. Medium.com non permette di scrivere come si vuole …)

Ed anche per oggi è tutto. Stay tuned per la prossima puntata di “Archivismi”.

Pocket Bravery retro-inspired fighting game is still sporting a Demo for Linux, Mac, and Windows PC. All of this amazing is made possible thanks to the creative and tireless work of the folks at Statera Studio. Still available to try on Steam. Statera Studio has a free trial of their newest creation, Pocket Bravery. This is also a great chance for you to test it out. You should all be able to play for a bit longer since it is a Next Fest Linux Demo. Pocket Bravery is your ticket to a battle with friends or the PC using four unique characters. These battles take place in unique locations around the globe. Ranging from the streets of Porto and Glasgow. Or a Training Room to polish your combat skills. What's so great about Pocket Bravery? It's a tribute to some of the best and most loved fighting games from the 90s. Such as Street Fighter, Fatal Fury, and The King of Fighters. It even draws inspiration from the charming design of Pocket Fighter and others from the 'Neo Geo Pocket Color' series. But don't get it twisted, Pocket Bravery is not just a copy of these classics. It's a brand new retro-inspired fighting game, full of original characters, vivid colors, and a powerful battle system. If you're into competitive fighting, this is your jam, and it's easy to get started.

Ultimate Smackdown: Pocket Bravery Tournament

Let's talk about the characters you can try out in this trial version: First up, we've got Nuno. This dude has a fiery fighting style that uses Thai Boxing techniques. Like low kicks, elbow attacks, and knee strikes. The story mode shows how Nuno learns about himself and his special powers. Since he can transform his negative feelings into a fierce attack on his rivals. Then there's Mingmei. Interestingly, Mingmei was not a fan of martial arts and preferred to chill on her PC. But things changed, and she's now a Kung-Fu expert. This wasn't just hard work and dedication. She stole an ancient artefact that gave her 'Dragon Energy,' which boosted her training. She now feels the guilt of stealing and wants to use her powers for good in Pocket Bravery. We also have Arshavin, a dude who's all about fame. He wants to the honour of being the greatest fighter, and with his impressive strength, he doesn't know any limits when it comes to a good fight. But being famous can sometimes lead to trouble. Arshavin uses his strength to toss opponents around in his fights. Lastly, there's also a surprise. Pocket Bravery PC players, for the first time, have a chance to discover a legendary mystery character. Who you will know from the classic 'Breakers' series during this Demo on Linux. In short, Pocket Bravery is a a solid retro-inspired fighting game. Letting players step into a world of epic battles, intriguing characters, and vibrant scenarios. Whether you're a competitive fighter or just someone who likes a good battle, this is a chance for you to dive in and fight. So get ready to engage in epic battles, explore new worlds, and find your bravery in your pocket. Also be sure to Wishlist on Steam and GOG. Since its is coming to Linux, Mac, and Windows PC in 2023.
