After decades on #Linux, #FreeBSD finally gave me a reason to switch operating systems

In around two weeks I’m migrating from iOS to a postmarketOS phone. Please leave app suggestions, I’m definitely going to need them!

Waydroid is… fine, but not preferred Please avoid android apps unless it’s something that is like confirmed to work well on waydroid, is proprietary or something so has no alternatives or something like that. I’m not launching waydroid to listen to music, to read my e-mails or to use xmpp.

Some examples of what I’m looking for, probably for Plasma Mobile:

1. Is there like… LibreOffice Mobile or something? To substitute the iWork suite?
2. Apple Music clients
3. Something self-hosted to substitute Siri, with ability to set timers and stuff
4. A reminders app that can sync with a caldav server
5. Is there a port of GadgetBridge for Linux?
6. I’ll probably make my own water logging and HealthKit-alternative app/“protocol” if that’s not a thing yet, but less work is less work if that exists
7. A XMPP client, preferably with spaces support
8. Immich client (preferably with some form of caching for recent photos)
9. Bitwarden client
10. HomeAssistant client
11. E-mail client
12. These will probably go on waydroid, but: WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and Signal clients
13. Some kind of map app, maybe with live traffic data?
14. Some kind of backup wizzard to my NAS, tho I’ll probably just make some rsync scripts
15. A better keyboard than Plasma Mobile’s default

And also just anything y’all find useful in your daily life with a postmarketOS daily driver, I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot of stuff here.

I know some of those exist for desktop Linux, but I’m obviously looking for stuff made with phones in mind (so like… apps made for gnome should be automatically fine maybe?)

(Also, has anyone managed to get nix’s system-manager to work on postmarketOS? There’s no way I’m configuring all of this by hand every time I need to flash it lmao)

#Colorado and #California to exempt decentralized open-source operating systems such as #Linux from age verification so young coders can keep coding!

Is #LinuxMint burning out? Developers consider longer release cycle

Question for #Linux users: I managed to cause filesystem damage on a 4TB drive during system stability testing after a few system failures while OCing. Whatever the actual filesystem damage is it is it's subtle though. At this time I can't rig up enough space to transfer all the data off of the drive and just reformat it like I'd love to do.

So far as I can tell, existing files all read without any problems. The weird issue is sometimes when writing new files, eventually it just sort of freezes up and then eventually produces an error until I unmount, remount (so it can run the journal back,) unmount again, then run xfs_repair on it (yes I'm using xfs.)

Until such time as I can get all the data off to reformat, is there anything I can do to actually fix this?

I'm looking for good resources for learning POSIX compliant shell scripting. So far I have found not much that hasn't been written with AI or just isn't very in depth. I can easily find specific stuff, but I'd love a general guide of some sort.

I found one that seemed like it would be fantastic, then found out it was made using Claude.

I haven't done a lot of sh in a while, and my partner wants to learn, so it would be great to have some quality resources.

Thank you to anyone who can help me out.

Edit: bash stuff is good too, but I prefer to avoid bashisms when possible

#presentación Hola gente, soy secondchancelemon y soy marido, papá de un nene de 4 años, y un enfermo renal crónico (genética, mala genética).
Soy abstemio, mi humor es onda #dadjokes, tengo mala memoria, un tímpano roto, me gustan los insultos, las malas palabras, las paradojas y las contradicciones.
Hice un degoogle y encontré Mastodon por casualidad, hace 9 meses, buscando alejarme de las rr.ss algorítmicas. Floté por otras instancias hasta llegar a los rebeldes de Argentina. Acá encontré gente que le gusta #Linux y el software libre, la ciberseguridad, el selfhosting, el activismo político, la filosofía, la psicología, la piratería y todas las cosas nerds que hacen lindo al mundo.
Leí a Douglas Adams y creí haber encontrado al mejor autor de todos los tiempos, hasta que encontré a Terry Pratchett. Ahora estoy re-leyendo "El quinto elefante" con mi esposa, de la Saga de la Guardia.

Vim v9.2 is released. There are many magnífico features I look forward to use. VIM is a Swiss Army Knife for editing Source Code & text.

The features are too many to mention, no really I don't know them all; NOBODY DOES!
Just like with the GiMP I know the functions I need and learn more when the requirement arizes. VIM has an extensive help system which Bram Molenaar et all developed over the decades that VIM exists.

History
VIM was initially coded on the Amiga computer systems of which I own an A4000T with a Cyberstorm 060 and Max Ram, with RTG card (Picasso 96), a A1200 vanilla with a stock HDD & an A500 with stock RAM (chip and fast) and 3 FDD 2x 3.5" 1x 5 1/4"

Bram wrote VIM in such a way that it runs on the A500 with just 512kB RAM!

There are people who love EMACS. To them I say

<flame bait>
EMACS can't hold a candle to VIM
</flame bait>

Of course that is just humour. In the Open Source world choice is what makes us all work and play well on whatever hardware we have with whatever tools we love

New Features in Vim 9.2

Comprehensive Completion: Added support for fuzzy matching during insert-mode completion and the ability to complete words directly from registers (CTRL-X CTRL-R). New 'completeopt' flags like nosort and nearest offer finer control over how matches are displayed and ordered.
Modern Platform Support: Full support for the Wayland UI and clipboard has been added. On Linux and Unix-like systems, Vim now adheres to the XDG Base Directory Specification, using $HOME/.config/vim for user configuration.
UI Enhancements: A new vertical tabpanel provides an alternative to the horizontal tabline. The MS-Windows GUI now supports native dark mode for the menu and title bars, along with improved fullscreen support and higher-quality toolbar icons.
Interactive Learning: A new built-in interactive tutor plugin (started via :Tutor) provides a modernized learning experience beyond the traditional vimtutor.

Vim9 Script Ecosystem & AI Integration

The maturity of Vim9 script's modern constructs is now being leveraged by advanced AI development tools. Contributor Yegappan Lakshmanan recently demonstrated the efficacy of these new features through two projects generated using GitHub Copilot:

Battleship in Vim9: A complete implementation of the classic game, showcasing classes and type aliases. [GitHub]
Number Puzzle: A logic game demonstrating the efficiency of modern Vim9 for interactive plugins. [GitHub]

^Z

I wonder why they have LLM support?

Note
The download page looks horrible on mobile so you'd be wise to view it on desktop

If this is your first time using VIM and you didn't bother to read the help file with `:h`
Just exit VIM type `:wq` to write & exit or type `:q!` to exit without saving the file

🆕 blog! “Gadget Review: Chuwi Minibook X N150 + Linux”
★★★★☆

I needed a small and light laptop to take travelling. Something with a larger screen than my phone so I can use the Big Internet™. Nothing too expensive and something that uses the same USB-C charger as everything else.

So I settled on the Chuwi Minibook N150. It's literally small enough to fit …
