ooooh

arch wiki adopting #anubis i see

What I love about #Linux – especially #ArchLinux – is the full control it gives you. It's lightweight, highly customizable, and you only install what you really need. The rolling release model keeps everything up to date, and the #ArchWiki is an amazing resource. It’s not always easy, but you learn a lot and really understand your system.

#Linux audio is bizarrely confusing to a regular user lol - if I were to configure a #PulseAudio setting (i.e. clock.force-quantum) but obviously most systems now have moved to using #PipeWire, but from what I can tell or think to understand is that systems use PipeWire via something called #WirePlumber, should this (user-specific) configuration be done in a WirePlumber config, or PipeWire? I normally could learn these things easily through the #ArchWiki, but so far, this topic is completely lost on me lol.

Das #VPN der #UniBonn gibt mittlerweile eine äußerst unhilfreiche 404-not-found Fehlermeldung zurück, wenn man sich unter #Linux (#openconnect cli oder #NetworkManager GUI) verbinden möchte.

Die Lösung ist (natürlich!) wie hier¹ im #ArchWiki erwähnt:

> sudo openconnect --useragent=AnyConnect unibn-vpn.uni-bonn.de

Also dem Gateway vorgaukeln, dass man der Cisco AnyConnect client ist

Everyone uses the @archlinux #archwiki when faced with a complex topic right? Been very impressed with @SUSE documentation on #libvirt #kvm #qemu and #vmmanager over the last few days. Super clear, well-written and with good background information to help understand the constraints / trade-offs. Well done #SUSE technical-writers!

Another #KDE Wallet question I've been trying to figure out since last nite: Is it really not possible to have it auto-unlock once for all (allowed) apps to access/read from upon login in an autologin (SDDM) desktop?

Following the #ArchWiki, it seems to suggest that you could (on #KDEPlasma) by:

- Installing kwallet-pam
- Create a (default) wallet named kdewallet using blowfish encryption instead of using a GPG key
- Set the same password for the wallet as your user password

and yet after an auto login to the desktop, whenever an app needs access to the wallet I created, I need to enter the password once for each app.

Perhaps I should also configure PAM as shown in the (confusing) subtopic of the linked guide in the wiki - eventho it says SDDM should not require any edit?

It said that these lines should be present (in PAM):

auth            optional        pam_kwallet5.so
session         optional        pam_kwallet5.so auto_start

-auth       optional    pam_kwallet5.so
-session    optional    pam_kwallet5.so         auto_start

My most used sites that support #OpenSearch *and* suggestions, are:

– #DuckDuckGo https://duckduckgo.com
– #Wikipedia https://www.wikipedia.org
– #ArchWiki https://wiki.archlinux.org
– #PCGamingWiki https://www.pcgamingwiki.com
– #ICheckMovies https://www.icheckmovies.com
– #Startpage https://www.startpage.com

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSearch Short version: it gives you search right in your address bar, ideally with suggestions as you type. If it doesn’t, I don’t bother.

Lol. I was being a bit annoyed at the wording of the #ecdsa concern section in the #archwiki as it lacks neuance and largely just quotes You Know Who^tm as the source.

However it seems like #Wikipedia has almost an identical section on it's wikipage.

Turns out someone just copypasted the section from archwiki.

В репозиториях Arch linux можно найти все что угодно, даже целую локальную копию Arch wiki -> https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/arch-wiki-docs/

@ColetteDiskette no, because those have dedicaded, beginner-friendly communities.

Hints towards #AskUbuntu and #UbuntuUsers aside, the #ArchWiki sometimes has better #documentation on #Windows than #Microsoft itself.

I.e. "How do I force #SystemClock to remain #Unixtime and not have Windows fuck around with local time?"
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System_time#UTC_in_Microsoft_Windows

#PipeWire on #NixOS unstable works swimmingly. No need to reverse engineer how to get "#PulseAudio #JACK Source/Sink" from #ArchWiki history any more

@niko #ArchWiki has even better #documentation on #Windows than #Microsoft!

For example:

• "How do I stop Windows from messing up my system clock, just force it to accept it's #Unixtime yet display Local Time?

I really missed the #archwiki. Every piece of information is just one search away.
