They’re basically minimum-viable products that by design can be used to violate the law in California when the Act goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2027.

cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/44815211 Two-way file sync, no remote agent needed Today Synchi is finally public! It’s designed for syncing files between two locations (local or over SSH). It detects conflicts, and lets you decide what to do. Why not rsync/Unison/Syncthing? rsync has no memory between runs and is one-way Unison needs to be installed on both sides Syncthing requires always-on daemons Synchi runs on demand, works over SSH, and only transfers what actually changed. GitHub: https://github.com/jakobkreft/synchi Docs: https://jakobkreft.github.io/synchi/ I use it daily for syncing a shared folder between my machines and an android phone. Works great in combination with Tailscale/WireGuard so that you can sync files remotely.

I read on PC, how can I save power and make PC last longer by under powering the PC ? On Windows I put max CPU state to 1%, PCIe and WIreless Power to power saving mode. Also related question, How to disallow software from inhibiting power management?

Hey there folx, I’m getting ready to go back to school and I was curious of any distro that have good pen support. The basic use see is likely just reading studies and being able to highlight in the PDF. I’m looking at either a new framework12 or trying to find a surface to meet these needs. Likely won’t be until next year I’m in school so I have time to tinker and troubleshoot.

I feel pretty good about this as I have only had Linux installed as my daily driver since late October 2025. This machine is the only exposure to Linux I get, as I work as a Windows sysadmin. I run openSUSE LEAP 16.0 with KDE and while I can’t say I’m comfortable or even within spitting-distance of being comfortable with it, I feel like today moved the needle a bit more towards that. This started a few days ago with my three displays. I run an LG 34" curved display as my main monitor and two 27" CRUA curved displays on the sides of it. Previously, I had experienced no issues with this setup when using Bricklink Studio 2.0 via wine. However, on Thursday night I quit Studio and boom, my side monitors wouldn’t stay on or detect a signal, and my main display kept freaking out and blinking every 5-7 seconds. I could get one of the two side monitors to work, but not both with the main monitor. Long story short (DP->HDMI adapter swaps, cable changes, port arrangements with the graphics card, etc.), I used DuckDuckGo searches (lots of the results came from the Arc forums, my consolences) and was pointed toward log files for kwin. I used the Logs app on my machine to check the important logs that would appear when I tried to have both monitors plugged in. That showed me that it was having trouble finding or removing some reference object. I looked in the Display Configuration settings and noticed the monitors would pop up, last for about 5-7 seconds, then get disconnected within the same time frame as the logs. I also noticed that when they would be visible, the ‘Enable’ checkbox would be unchecked. So with my trusty vertical mouse in hand, I studied the placement of the buttons and checkbox and after a few fails, successfully selected the checkbox to enable one of the displays, apply the change, and select keep before it could fully disconnect the monitor. Boom! The monitor turned back on and stayed on. I had to adjust it’s position in the layout, but after that, it had no issue being on! I repeated this for the other monitor and now, I am happy to say, all three of my monitors are on and my system is running exactly as before! I really appreciate the openness to information that I see in many of the Linux communities, and thank you to those of you who have contributed, or will contribute to that knowledge. Because of people keeping that information open and available, a complete and utter Linux-n00b like myself can take a shot at investigating and fixing my own system woes. Best regards! P.S. I have a theory about what happened with wine and why the issue wouldn’t happen with one of the side monitors plugged in, and only happen when both were. But I’ll save that for a comment if someone asks.

cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/44893731 The 6.11 release for Qt Framework is now available, with improved performance, newly supported techniques and capabilities on graphics, connectivity and languages, not to mention a whole new approach to asynchronous C++ coding. Hardware-Accelerated 2D Rendering: A new module, Qt Canvas Painter, based on the HTML Canvas 2D Context, provides performance & productivity gains. 3D Improvements: New rendering techniques Screen Space Global Illumination (SSGI) as an option for lightmap baking, and Screen Space Reflections (SSR). Also imrovements on the Temporal Anti-aliasing algorithm with motion vectors. New user-defined render passes for post-processing effects, color picking, layer masks, etc. directly in QML. Interactive Graphs: You can now implement custom graphs where a user-defined delegate renders each data point. There’s a new Qt example, the Wind Turbine Dashboard, and many improvements, e.g. new ways to style line graphs, and multi-axis support on 3D graphs. Declarative Approach to C++: Qt Task Tree brings a whole new approach to asynchronous coding and C++ API design in Qt. In addition, various APIs have been unified to allow adapting any asynchronous task to work with the new module. Other Improvements: Improvements on vector graphics, controls, and accessibility. Connecting to web servicers is now easier with the new module, Qt OpenAPI. Navigating in an IDE between QML and C++, and making data available from C++ backend code to Qt Quick have gotten easier. A wealth of other improvements, such as for multimedia, Android, and API documentation.

My system is running Debian 13, and has been running Debian great for well over a year however, recently when I went to reboot my computer KDE Plasma (X11) froze and didn’t want to log in, I found it odd and rebooted as per usual but it repeated itself yet again. I jump into another TTY and start checking the journal, nothing out of the ordinary, obviously annoyed I start reinstalling packages. kde-full, kde-standard, kde-plasma-desktop, sddm, nvidia-driver, linux-generic-headers xorg and so on. No luck. I figured I would give Wayland a try even though a lot of my software still does not support it, and to my surprise loaded up instantly, so I got some hope my system isn’t borked, I tried X11 again but instead of rebooting or shutting down after it froze I just left it to see if anything at all changes and after a while it decided to load my desktop! So after a few more days of trying to catch something in my journal I finally noticed this 3 minute gap in these entries of my journal. 3/23/26 9:44 PM systemd systemd-timedated.service: Deactivated successfully. 3/23/26 9:45 PM systemd-timesyncd Timed out waiting for reply from 84.16.67.12:123 (2.debian.pool.ntp.org). 3/23/26 9:45 PM systemd-timesyncd Contacted time server 217.147.208.1:123 (2.debian.pool.ntp.org). 3/23/26 9:48 PM systemd Reload requested from client PID 2681 (‘startplasma-x11’)… 3/23/26 9:48 PM systemd Reloading… I don’t have much to work off of but I’m guess this is what is kicking my system back in order, is there a way I could reduce the timeout of the above systemd request?

I have a Canon Maxify 2750. Up until now I’ve been using the standar linux drivers for it but they have a serious limitation I really need to solve which is I can only print one page at a time, on one sheet of paper. Printer is capable of full duplex printing. If been able to install the drivers before but now I’me being confronted with an unexpected _“(”_ error. Nothing more, nothing less. I run the install script and it just fails. Can someone lend a hand on this, please?

Please explain to me. I moved away from Big Tech and installed - even on my old MacBook Pro 2015 - Linux Mint. I use open source software and my social media is on Fedivers. I tought I was “safe” by using Linux, but the Linux Foundation is sponsord by a lot of money by Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Google, etc… etc… the exact companies I try to take some distance off. Can somebody please explain me if Linux is “sold” to US Big Tech now?

I just boosted a question, but I have a slightly reworded question. Why is Linux and FOSS tripping over themselves to comply with Fascism surveillance capitalism instead of the long established international and national accessibility laws and accessibility guidelines and disability inclusion guidelines? Surely, one thing is better than the other, no? And it ain't Fascism surveillance capitalism that's the better option. #Linux #FOSS

Hi, I want to use openntpd to sync my clock I’m using ntpd -ds I see in my firewall that the dns resolution is working, and I get a server IP from the pool 👍 but anyhow I get ntp engine ready no reply received in time, skipping initial time setting no reply from x.x.x.x received in time, next query 300s Weird my nftable config file should allow it: # extract chain OUT { type filter hook output priority 0; policy drop; udp dport 123 accept } chain IN { type filter hook input priority 0; policy drop; ct state established, related accept } Any ideas, or which lemmy community to cross-post ? Thanks.

I’m planning to switch from Manjaro to pure Arch, but I really like the easy setup Manjaro provides. Are there any guides, wikis, or personal tips to replicate that setup on a fresh Arch install? Looking for something that covers the essential packages, configurations, and tweaks to get a similar out‑of‑the‑box feel. Thanks in advance!

I have installed noto-fonts-cjk but the Linux kernel terminal won’t display Japanese/Chinese characters. Environment: ThinkPad T480 Arch Linux Edit: I managed to track down this page wiki.archlinux.org/title/Linux_console and realize that I need to setfont. Now I just need to find which one in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts can display Japanese, I suppose. Edit2: looked through …github.io/linux-console-fonts-screenshots/ to no avail. Edit3: this thread askubuntu.com/…/how-do-i-display-chinese-japanese… hints at this not being a possibility, because - paraphrased - the framebuffer can’t hold 2000 characters, which is what I would like it to be able to display. Edit4: as pointed out in the above askubuntu thread, and as @mina86@lemmy.wtf secondarily recommends, fbterm seems to be the solution: wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fbterm Edit5: kmscon also seems to be able to display CJK: wiki.archlinux.org/title/KMSCON Marking as SOLVED, but I have not yet tried replacing the Linux kernel terminal. That’ll have to wait until next weekend.
