It's time to talk about my writerdeck

Fri, 11 Sep 2026 00:56:12 +0000

Of course, I'm a Linux user, and I have any number of options. I could have gone with a simple desktop or window manager and just not installed a browser, but I wanted something that really broke the desktop OS muscle memory and forced me into thinking about my words with intention. I opted for a tty-based setup, using Debian (Trixie at the time of writing). Console only- no x11 or Wayland, no desktop getting in my way.

Installer crashes in storage editor in all Live environments except Workstation - Fedora Discussion

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 22:33:21 +0000

Workarounds Don’t start the installer (or quit it if you started it already). Start terminal (Konsole in KDE) and edit a config file: sudo nano /etc/anaconda/profile.d/fedora.conf Find this part: # The default browser for the Web UI. webui_web_engine = slitherer and change it to: # The default browser for the Web UI. webui_web_engine = firefox Close the editor (Ctrl+X → Y → Enter), and run the installer, either from a desktop launcher, or from a terminal: liveinst The installer should no longer crash when using drop-down lists.

KDE liveinst crash - Fedora Discussion

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 22:32:35 +0000

I had this exact issue attempting to install Fedora 44 KDE live ISO on an older laptop with a GeForce GTX 970 GPU. I resolved it by forcing Anaconda to use Firefox instead of Slitherer. I can confirm that Firefox was the selected default browser, but for some reason the indicated variable doesn’t seem to work Instead of editing /usr/libexec/anaconda/webui-desktop I changed the following line inside /etc/anaconda/profile.d/fedora.conf: webui_web_engine = slitherer to webui_web_engine = firefox this allowed me to start Anaconda GUI normally and proceed with installing Fedora 44.

How to turn anything into a router

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 18:50:19 +0000

Fortunately, you can make a router out of basically anything resembling a computer. I’ve used a linux powered mini-pc as my own router for many years, and have posted a few times before about how to make linux routers and firewalls in that time. It’s been rock solid stable, and the only issue I’ve had over the years was wearing out a $20 mSATA drive. While I use Debian typically, Alpine linux probably works just as well, perhaps better if you’re familiar with it. As long as the device runs Linux well and has a couple USB ports, you’re good to go. Mini-PCs, desktop PCs, SBCs, rackmount servers, old laptops, or purpose built devices will all work.

The Unexpected Joys Of Hacking An Old Kindle | Hackaday

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 23:23:26 +0000

Make no mistake, I’m greatly appreciative of the fact that we now have mature single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi available for a reasonable cost. But taking what’s essentially consumer e-waste and turning it into a useful platform for learning and experimentation is the true hacker way. So whether you’ve got a Kindle collecting dust somewhere at home, or end up grabbing a few off of eBay for a song, I invite you to bust out the USB-serial adapter and start exploring.

マリウス . A Word on Omarchy

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 18:02:13 +0000

Omarchy feels like a project created by a Linux newcomer, utterly captivated by all the cool things that Linux can do, but lacking the architectural knowledge to get the basics right, and the experience to give each tool a thoughtful review. Instead of carefully selecting software and ensuring that everything works as promised, the approach seems to be more about throwing everything that somehow looks cool into a pile. There’s no attention to sensible defaults, no real quality control, and certainly no verification that the setup won’t end up causing harm or, at the very least, frustration for the user. The primary focus seems to be on creating a visually appealing but otherwise hollow product.

Thoughts On Omarchy: Slick Distro, Complicated Ethics

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 23:26:28 +0000

Omarchy is a reminder that we live in a world where software isn’t just software, but the people who make it. And dhh, despite his rep as a dev’s dev, comes with a hell of a lot of baggage. Recently, the Ruby on Rails community has been through some things, and dhh himself has proven a lightning rod on multiple occasions, most recently for a post many saw as deeply xenophobic, bordering on eugenicist.
