triptico.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.

I love that feeling you get when you finish tuning your Linux desktop box with everything optimized and "just so" and nothing left to mess with or install. Colours, wallpaper, apps, hardware acceleration, menus, widgets/plasmoids, filesystems backed up, etc.
Oh, that's just me?
Never mind. Carry on.
Can anyone recommend a good value compact A4-friendly scanner that's plug-and-play with Linux? #DuckDuckFedi #AskFedi #AskMastodon #Linux #scanner

Linux tip: Full filesystems crash services and corrupt data. Find resource hogs with “df -h” (filesystem usage) and “du -sh /var/log/*” (large directories).

Anyone know why using sftp with Dolphin in Plasma is so slow in Alpine Linux?
Using Debian, doing the same thing is like greased lightning.
It's not network, ssh/scp/rsync/sftp command line works wicked fast between hosts with Alpine.
Something about Alpine and Plasma it seems. This has been an on-going thing.
Anyone know a workaround, beside using a different protocol I mean? This should "just work" like on other distros.

Linux tip: Use “ps aux --forest” for a neat process tree view. The parent-child relationships make it easier to find root causes of system load issues or zombie processes.

This Isn't a Battle
After reading a post describing the FreeBSD community as 'toxic', I share a different perspective. This isn't a battle. It's a reflection on coexistence, the original Open Source spirit, and the quiet richness of taking a different path.

UPDATE: I haven't seen Recall in action there. I was just asking the doctor how they'll deal with it.
This morning, I went to the doctor for a scheduled appointment. While she was looking at the results of blood tests from two years ago on the screen (and suggested repeating them for a follow-up), I realized she was using Windows 11. A detail came to mind. The doctor is extremely polite and friendly, so I asked her, "How do you handle the feature called Recall?" The doctor was taken aback and had no idea what I was talking about. I was about to drop the conversation, but she, being a serious professional, immediately called the technicians who manage their PCs to ask for clarification. They downplayed it, saying it's not an issue and that it's a feature "on all PCs, so we can't do anything about it." She started to express that she didn’t like it and wanted it deactivated. No luck: they won’t proceed because, according to them, even deactivating it is "a hack that could compromise future updates." She’s furious and will talk to her colleagues and the decision-makers. She wants secure systems because "there’s patient data involved."
In reality, patient data is stored on servers (which I haven't investigated), but everything that appears on the screen is, in my opinion, at risk.
I’ve offered to help them find a solution—because, if I'm right, all they need is LibreOffice and a browser. In that case, I’ll suggest one of the *BSD or Linux systems and do it for free.
I don’t want to make money off my doctor. I just want patient data to be (sufficiently) secure.

If you are thinking of moving from Windows to Linux and are not sure where to start, here's the software that I am using day to day:
https://decoded.legal/blog/2024/09/running-a-law-firm-on-free-software-2024-edition/
(Work-focus, as that is where I spend most of my (computing) time, but I am Linux-only for personal computing too.)
And don't forget that many Free software programs have Windows versions too, so you can test before you leap.
Good luck!
