Rust For Linux Kernel Co-Maintainer Formally Steps Down in c/linux@programming.dev

Coming from managed languages I found syntax weird, but got more comfortable in few days 🤷‍♂️ If you're used to one language, then usually the other looks weird initially

Can confirm, I'm running 3x 4K monitors with Ryzen 9900X easily. I'm not into gaming, though.

Cool, but then again, it is only so effective. And that even before the godknowwhat mutations. But yes, it certainly seems a step forward.

Next step: EU is implementing these rules :(

Do you have an url for that? I'd be a bit sceptical about that as viruses survived everything so far. And I suppose they'd still mutate if we targeted that.

Japanese court orders Cloudflare to pay $3.2 million over manga piracy in c/technology@lemmy.zip

The reason is probably that they warned them, though I don't see how is cloudflare responsible.

Indeed. This this truly a WTF issue. And it gets even worse when you are not from US, like EU.

Yep, but still better than never 🤷‍♂️. I was really looking forward to it as I recently migrated from Windows to Linux only to find out that it doesn't work for me for some reason.

On X11 and the Fascists Maggots (blogs.gnome.org)
 

This is a truly WTF moment about messed up responses to X11 session removal in Gnome.

2 weeks ago I published a blogpost about the upcoming plans of GNOME 49 and the eventual removal of the X11 session. Since then, instead of looking at feedback, bugs and issues related to the topic, we all collectively had to deal with the following, and I am not exaggerating one bit:

  • Fascists and Nazis
  • Wild Conspiracy Theories that make Qanon jealous
  • “Concerned” Trolling about the Accessibility of the Wayland session
  • A culture war where Wayland is Gay, and X11 is the glorious past they stole from you

In my wildest dreams I could have never made this shit up. You all need mandatory supervised access to the Internet from now on.

About backup and switching to a different distro (programming.dev)
 

I'm going to move away from Windows into Linux and have some strategical questions, among others how do you handle backups/restore and how do you switch distros.

There are two main questions (in case of catastrophic failure or transition):

  1. How do you reinstall your apps? I'm considering ansible for that - have all my installs (as much as possible) done through ansible playbooks.
  2. How do you recover your backup data? Just copy from backup to home directory probably won't do when it comes to a different distro, or? Here I'm considering doing ZFS snapshosts (ZFS pool/datasets would be used for my home directory) to my backup server but not sure how to recover it in case of switching to a different distro. It should be copy in the case of system restoration I guess.

Any other recommendations?

driving three 4K DP displays with a 9900X(3D) iGPU? (programming.dev)
 

Did anybody manage to drive three 4K@60 displays with just the iGPU of a 9900X or forthcoming X3D? The displays should be all DP or HDMI, but not a mix, so a KVM switch can be used. From what I see, mobos have at best two USB4 ports that each could drive 2 DP displays. In theory, that is. While CPU should be able to drive three such displays. I'm not into gaming or such, just need displays for development and want to avoid unnecessary discrete GPU and it's power draw if possible.
