I don't understand your comment. They are the good guys browser-wise but that doesn't mean they are good guys everywhere.

I wrote some insults and it worked.

Pretty sure my insults will be used to train a model as well

I know it's a joke, I hate to be that guy. But this meme feels old and obsolete now. I can't remember the last time I had to tweak my Linux. The fun is gone

Don't dare to question Gnome by idefix in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

[-] idefix@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 month ago

I don't understand the simpler argument. Installing and using extensions and gnome-tweaks to change basic settings is not simpler. And I strongly dislike a large number of defaults.

With KDE Plasma, defaults make more sense to me so I barely have to change configuration. If I really need to, the setting is there and easily used.

Apple must open iPadOS to sideloading within 6 months, EU says by idefix in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] idefix@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 months ago

I'm pretty sure Apple is missing a significant market share of consumers like myself who can't stand their anti-competitive practices. That's why I can only buy Android phones and tablets, until we get decent Linux ones.

The cycling revolution in Paris continues: Bicycle use now exceeds car use by idefix in c/europe@feddit.de

[-] idefix@sh.itjust.works 31 points 2 months ago

The last stat I've seen in Paris is that if you were to bike to work every day on a 9 to 5 job, then you will encounter rain 17 times per year in average. When that happens, as others said, you can just accept being wet and/or dress appropriately, or take public transport.

We'll see the year of the Linux desktop before seeing justice for him.

VLC - App stores were a mistake by idefix in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

VLC is still on Twitter? I thought they would be quick to migrate to Mastodon, slightly disappointed.

And thanks OP for linking outside of Twitter.

What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"? by idefix in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] idefix@sh.itjust.works 12 points 6 months ago

Most distributions are fine honestly. Ubuntu is clearly not my thing. Not a fan of Redhat-based distribution either. I wanted to appreciate OpenSuse as they've been supporters of KDE for a long time but wasn't comfortable with Yast.

Apart from that, Manjaro is awesome, Arch amazing, Debian brilliant, etc.

Switched from Manjaro to Fedora after being told Manjaro is "a bad distro" by many. Looking for a telnet terminal such as Syncterm to run on rpm or flatpak. by idefix in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] idefix@sh.itjust.works 12 points 6 months ago

Did someone really manage to convince you that Fedora would be more stable than Manjaro?

For the record, I've been using Manjaro for 3 years without any reinstall on my main laptop and I still haven't witnessed any stability issue. My experience with Fedora has not been similar at all...

Postgresql connectivity issue (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 6 months ago by idefix@sh.itjust.works to c/lemmy_admin@lemmy.ml

Good afternoon! Newbie here, I've tried to install Lemmy using Ansible (Debian stable) and I ended up having an issue with the Postgresql connectivity (localhost via socket).

The error message I have is:

thread 'main' panicked at 'Error connecting to postgresql:///lemmy?user=lemmy&amp;host=/var/run/postgresql: connection to server on socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: No such file or directory

I have updated my /etc/postgresql/15/main/pg_hba.conf from peer to trust to md5 with no success (rebooting Postresql each time).

My config.hjson is:

database: {
 uri: "postgresql:///lemmy?user=lemmy&amp;host=/var/run/postgresql"
 password: "{{ postgres\_password }}"
}

Any idea / suggestion? Thanks!

Flatpak standing the test of time: modern Flatpak apps running on Ubuntu 16.04 ESM, a 7-year-old distro by idefix in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] idefix@sh.itjust.works 78 points 8 months ago

Having a rock-solid Debian stable as a desktop with up-to-date softwares when it matters. It sounded impossible a few years ago but that might be achievable now with Flatpak. That's awesome.
