Microsoft has released a neat little Open Source program for #Linux: an #editor for the terminal, called "Microsoft Edit". Yet it's very rudimentary and simple, but it's snappy fast and has the most basic functions you need for editing text files.
Keyboard shortcuts for every function, opening multiple files, search and replace with regex are already on board.
If you quarrel with vim, vi, nano or similar, give it a try! I like it.
Version 1.0 is available via Github: github.com/microsoft/edit?tab=

The multiplayer, or the lack there of, at the moment is so utterly broken and so lacking of being properly made that for a long time, I was just not bothering with it. Seeing it as something unnecessary. Something that does not need to be touched, because other things, like the...

The plan this weekend is to install #Linux on my laptop and teach me the basics of how to make it go. He's keeping windows on there...just in case, but I really hope I won't need it.

I also still need to make an alt email for bs, and figure out getting all my photos off Google.

KDE Plasma 6.4 lets you use day/night wallpapers!

The upcoming version of KDE Plasma, which will be released in three weeks, brings a very immersive feature that allows you to use a compatible wallpaper as a time-of-day wallpaper.

This feature allows your desktop to automatically change the wallpaper to the following versions:

  • Light version of the wallpaper is used in the daytime, beginning from the sunrise to the sunset.
  • Dark version of the wallpaper is used in the nighttime, beginning from the sunset to the sunrise.

You can use your device’s current location for more accurate timing. This increases comfort when you’re using the desktop in both the daytime and in the nighttime.

In order to implement this feature, the settings application had to be changed so that it more clearly indicates that a wallpaper is dynamic. Also, supported wallpapers will show you a two-sided preview presenting you about how the two versions of the same wallpaper will look in both the daytime and in the nighttime.

Ubuntu 24.10 will feature this upcoming version of KDE Plasma.

Running the cloud server for my website and my Forgejo instance on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 10 :redhat: now.

(Previously on CentOS-Stream9 :centos:)

Since I only have little load and want my infrastructure to consume as little energy as possible, I am running on an ARM64 (aarch64) system with Altara Ampere (Neoverse-N1) CPUs and on a shared hypervisor (Qemu/Kvm).

RHEL10 does run perfectly fine and is supported on the ARM64 CPU architecure :-)

All applications (my website, Forgejo, and a Keycloak instance) are running as rootless containers with Podman :podman:

And of course, all my services are run IPv6 first!
