Eurostar train to Brussels, wondering how many are attending #FOSDEM checking their laptop for stickers while my own is sticker-less! Does the #archlinux keychain count? Weekend goal: stock on stickers!

- #KDE Plasma and a #declarative configuration service
- There are around 40 new system services to choose from such as Forgejo Runner and RabbitMQ
- Full-source bootstraps of the #Zig and #Mono their compilers are now available
- Other major updates include GCC 15.2.0, Emacs 30.2, Icecat and Librewolf 140, LLVM 21.1.8 and Linux-libre 6.17.12.
- Contributing teams building packages for areas including #openscience, #hpc, #electronics, #python, #astronomy and #rust

Big fat snowflakes outside. Inside its a mug of hot chocolate and a manual, minimal install of Arch Linux. Its been a few years since the last install. Too long! ❄️

PSA: Do not install the ktextaddons 1.9.0 update on #Archlinux if you use KMail & friends, everything will crash because of undefined symbols. I've pinged the Arch maintainer in Matrix/IRC so i expect a quick solution :)

Why rent computers when you can build the cloud at home? Say no to big tech and seize the means of computing the future :3

Dropping anchor at cyberplace.social.
Migrating my digital footprint to bare metal. Currently hosting my node on a Raspberry Pi, punching through with a Cloudflare Tunnel, and managing the chaos via tut and elk.zone on Arch.
Here for the infosec deep-dives, hardware gore, and the tech anarchy. Ready to build bridges, not walled gardens.

It's great that you already are comfortable with the commandline! almost anything can be run and configured from there.
- Cmdline switches/params are prefixed with "-" or even "--" instead of "/".
- Many commands allow long and short forms and combinations of switches, e.g. "ls -ad" instead of "ls --all --directory"
- The commands' help ("manual"/"man) pages are usually quite helpful, call them with "man <command>". A more concise version is often available with "<command> ---help". You can have several "registers" of manpages (e.g. for configuration file syntax vs commandline switches) that can be referred to as numbers in calling the manpage, so when you miss some information in the default manpage, check if the command has a manpage in another "register". At the bottom manpages usually have examples and references to related manpages. And "apropos keyword" lists manpages related to keyword.

- unfreeze commandline with ctrl-q (I keep forgetting that. When you accidentally hit ctrl-s in a terminal window, you suspend the window and need to unfreeze it like this.)
Helpful web resources:
- For all kinds of configuration (peripherals!), the #Archlinux online docs and wiki are really excellent, and in many cases apply to other distributions just as well. (The arch community can be a bit "rtfm" but you can consult the docs without exposing yourself to that. And insofar as the docs are really good, they do often have a point there.) The distro itself might be a bit too technical for beginners as it requires you to learn and control many technicalities from the outset.

Time for a new #introduction post after the move!
I'm Sar, a 50yr old nerdy guy from Northern Ireland. I love IT, and am into tech and all things computing.
My hobbies include playing #WorldOfWarcraft, reading about World Of #Warcraft and thinking about #WoW
Seriously though, my *other* hobbies also include:
#Astronomy
#Linux (alternating between #Bazzite & #ArchLinux)
#Gaming on #Steam, #PS5 & #Switch (mainly on PC though, see above!)
#SciFi such as #StarWars, #Startrek, #Babylon5, #Marvel & #DC etc
Also a screenshot junkie #VirtualPhotography
I'm also awaiting the results of my #Autism diagnosis as I write this, and am also fairly confident I have #ADHD as well, giving me the #AuDHD super-deluxe wombo-combo 😂
I decided to make the jump to this self-hosted instance at the end of 2025 after many happy years on masto.ai/@sar, and have no regrets.
Yet.
