That's not quite true. Virtualbox is free but the extension pack is not. It says on the website that it's under a different license.

Just don't get it from the website but from a distro's repos instead and you'll be fine. Distros usually patch out telemetry as well.

But yeah, Oracle and similar schemes are why software installation is so restricted on corporate devices. It's basically ransomware, freeware that people are willing to sue over.

Edit: it should be noted that charging people for licensed software in a corporate environment is okay. I have heard stories of Oracle making people buy licences for EVERY computer even if only one person downloaded the software...

Does the script attempt to run though? If linkedin runs this and other scripts it would explain why the site is so bloated.

Does this work on firefox? Does ublock origin block this?

Is this why linkedin eats so damn much ram. It eays 300 mb for a single tab. I opened 3 linkedin tabs and it lagged my entire computer.

Phoronix, you are the trolls.

What about domain reputation?

Have you considered that the reason why your mail server is trusted is because it's been around for 20 years?

Have you tried to set up mail from scratch on a new domain/ip recently?

I think I'm in love. They have such great variety, and the artstyle is so neat. And I love stickers because they are such great conversation starters.

In the old days, university IT put essentially no access controls on their networks, so students' dorm computers were completely exposed to the internet

Dorm ethernet works this way for me right now. It's how I host some stuff. I only get 100 mb/s per port though. I've bonded two ports to get 200 total.

Because the extensions replaced wordpress' sitebuilder/editor. If I were to get rid of the extensions I would basically have to recreate the site anyways so I might as well switch away from wordpress.

 

Tldr we want a static website that will last a long time and also look pretty nice.

Right now, we have a wordpress website. It looks very nice. It also have 4 extensions that aren't configured to auto update. Also whenever I try to make changes to the website they don't apply because the website was configured via the extensions and I hate it.

I want a static site of some kind. It's simple to self host or host anywhere, and it's also simple to secure and keep maintained for a long time.

I am currently looking at static site generators, like quarto, or docusaurus

However, they are difficult to theme to the "niceness" that I want, and their nature results in these somewhat fixed output formats. Like, it is somewhat difficult and annoying to put images anywhere I want them and etc.

Is there like a fixed WYSIWYG html editor? Something between designing a website from scratch and a static site generator. Or is there a way to finagle static site generators to be more flexible than blogs or documentation sites?

It powers lichess.org, who have made multiple blogposts about how happy they are with it.

Lichess is a FOSS chess server that somehow manages to compete with chess.com proprietary, distributed, milticloud kubernetes setup from a single VPS. According to them, scala helps.

 

Nixgl: https://github.com/nix-community/nixGL

Also, it seems like this requires the latest "stateversion", since this is a new feature.

This is pretty big, because it makes it easy to use applications that use the GPU from nixpkgs on non Nixos systems.

I want to like, block interaction with a window that I am keeping on top of other windows so I can see it but still click to stuff behind it.

It turns out mpv already has this implemented. https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/pull/8949

Technically no windows or mac support (presumably it's possible there; dunno), but OP only asked for linux stuff so I'll close this

And then I could remove the title bar if I really don't want to interact with the app.

Older article (2019), but it introduced me to some things I didn't know. Like I didn't know that cockpit could manage Kubernetes.

I find this hilarious. Is this an easter egg? When shaking my mouse cursor, I can get it to take up the whole screens height.

This is KDE Plasma 6.
