Linux phones are cool, but not ready for general use yet... unless that's changed recently, in which case I'll look into buying a PinePhone.
On desktop, I use Debian and FreeBSD.

Yeah, I've talked it over with a friend and (of all people) the school librarian. Here's my plan:
- Wait a week and see if the T400 (hostname
Amethyst
) fixes itself, which is how I managed to resurrect my Acer (hostnameLapisLazuli
) last year. - Transplant the RAM and SSD into
LapisLazuli
, which should be compatible and will receive a massive performance boost from it. - Once I have enough saved up, buy an old ThinkPad to replace it. This will become
Amethyst-II
, and could be obtained second-hand from my institution.

You'll be able to sideload. The mandate includes the EEA (which includes Switzerland), as well as the EU.
We had some heavy rain yesterday and my bag (containing my T400) got soaked. I tried to turn it on just now, and it appeared to boot at first. I entered my `geli(8)` password and FreeBSD began to load, then the screen and status LEDs began to flicker rapidly. I tried holding the power button, but for the first time it didn't do anything, so I removed the battery. When I turned it back on again, it didn't even show the ThinkPad boot screen; it just sat there flickering. I have opened the case up and looked inside. I hve checked the RAM, the CPU, the SSD: even the DVD drive; and everything seems fine, yet the problem still persists. Does anyone have any idea what's wrong and how I can fix it? Or is my laptop now borked? Thanks!

Yeah, I think they go into discovery mode until they find a previously-paired device when you turn them on.

cross-posted from: https://sopuli.xyz/post/8117983 I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones, which I have been using since 2022. Today, I was sitting on the bus when some random person connected to them and started playing *Free Bird*. It was a bit funny, but I don't want this to become a regular thing. Is there a way of locking the headphones to certain Bluetooth addresses? Or a way of making it not show up automatically on phones (similar to a hidden WiFi network)? The headphones in question are the JBL Tune 510, which have a USB-C port. However, I don't know if this can be used to flash firmware. If there's already a comment telling me to "just use wired" or something, please don't tell me again. It's the best solution, but my phone doesn't have a headphone jack (fuck you, Apple). Thanks!

Yes. I felt that this community wasn't getting much activity, and some of the art being posted (while good) was not quite weirdcore. I thought that, by posting all of this, I could help sway the community back in the right direction.
Maybe I'm wrong. Idk.

I've been seeing a few posts lately that, while interesting and beautiful, are not weirdcore. Since this community rarely has any activity, I've left a few of them up; but for ****'s sake, please post actual weirdcore art. Just so everyone knows what to do, I'll flood the community with a few images from r/weirdcore.

What's the problem with running an older OSX? https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy
I am running 10.6. Chromium Legacy is for 10.7 and above, and the same is true of a lot of software. Meanwhile, on my Linux partition, I can have Firefox Nightly if I want. It'll run heavily, but it's possible.
As it happens, I do have a somewhat recent browser installed in OSX, but it's not great.
Also, running an older OS like that isn't a good idea, as it won't have received security patches or microcode updates.
That's the thing, you can run a 64-bit distro as long as you've a 32 bit grub starting it :)
I hadn't quite considered that somebody had implemented this. Thanks for the info!
There was also another user who gave me a link to some software that modifies mixed-mode ISOs so that they will boot on my potato laptop.

Whoa! Thank you!
I have a MacBook (specifically a MacBook2,1 A1181) from 2007. I am currently dual-booting Mac OS X 10.6 and crunchbang++ 12 on it, but I feel that there could be something better. Here are the specs: * **CPU:** Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 (2) @ 2.167 GHz * **Architecture:** x86_64-v1 (but with 32-bit BIOS, so 64-bit Linux won't work) * **Microarchitecture:** Merom * **GPU:** Intel GMA 950 * **RAM:** 3 GB * **Disk:** 140 GB HDD This is not supposed to be a daily driver by any stretch. I have newer and more powerful machines than this, but I would still like to have something on it that means I can use it if need be. As well as crunchbang++, I have also run Debian, Devuan, SparkyLinux, GNU Guix, Puppy Linux, Slackware, and Haiku in the past. I have tried to install several flavours of BSD, but it was too difficult to get dual-booting to work properly. Despite the CPU being 64-bit, the distro MUST be 32-bit. This is because of the MacBook's BIOS, which prevents 64-bit bootloaders from working. Not that it matters, as I can do this after installation, but I would be looking to run something like Enlightenment, Trinity, or spectrwm. I tried going CLI-only with Guix, but it wasn't the best experience. Feel free to also recommend software that will run on a potato like this. Thanks! EDIT: Two users have told me how to get 64-bit Linux running on this machine. Debian apparently ships with 32-bit GRUB on the ISO, and there's a CLI tool to patch ISOs to make them work.

UCAS is the organisation that deals with applications to higher education (e.g. university) in the United Kingdom.
EPQ stands for "Extended Project Qualification", and is an A-Level enhancement subject. In this subject, you pick a topic in September and spend the next few months writing an essay on it.

Well, there are two main methods of package management in FreeBSD, which (according to people who seem to know their stuff) should not be mixed.
Packages are pre-compiled binaries, which are installed with either:
-
# pkg install <package>
or
-
$ doas pkg install <package>
and can be found at FreshPorts.
Then there are ports. You have to enable this during installation. Essentially, it gives you a directory containing all of the available sources, known as the ports tree. You cd
in and run the command, and it pulls in the code, compiles it, and installs. However, due to my ancient processor, I do not use ports and so have no idea what commands to actually run or even where to find the ports tree in the first place.
Remember to check the documentation!
* **OS:** FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE * **Theming:** Catppuccin Mocha (Mauve) * **Icons:** Obsidian Purple * **Wallpaper:** [\[LINK\]](https://files.catbox.moe/wgwkvm.png) --- * **Browser:** Hardened Firefox * **Shell:** Zsh * **Terminal:** Alacritty

I have multiple devices, but I just use my trusty KNOPPIX LiveCD to unlock the disk and move everything onto an external hard drive before either troubleshooting via chroot or just doing a clean install.
I'm going to be doing a clean install of Arch Linux on an old ThinkPad tomorrow morning, and I'd like some suggestions for a window manager, desktop environment, or Wayland compositor. It can have a learning curve, but I would like it to not have *too* steep a learning curve (I have been using i3 for a while, and I have just come from LeftWM which I configured to have i3 keybinds). Also, in order to make it fairly obvious to my peers that I'm using Linux, I'd like it to look nothing like Windows or macOS. Preferably something light (at least out of the box). When I was using LeftWM, my RAM usage was often around 200MB. I recently did a system analysis and I have 8GB of RAM, but my CPU will hold me back. It's an Intel Core 2 Duo of the Penryn microarchitecture (x86_64-v1). Any suggestions?
These speeds would have been considered pitiful in 1994, never mind 2024.

I've heard and read recently about a warrant that shows that the US government is monitoring push notifications on iOS and Android. This is possible because push notifications mostly work remotely, using "push notification post office" servers at Apple and Google. I am aware that certain apps; such as Threema, Signal, Proton, Tuta, and others; use their own servers for push, but not all apps will do this. If I was to run a deGoogled Android ROM or an alternative mobile OS, how would push notifications be handled? And is there an option that doesn't involve a central server at all?
