Hey, what the actual F is this?

If I'm understanding this correctly, Dolphin is trying to make connections to ad servers? And it's doing it through the thumbnail process. I caught a whole bunch of attempts, including to ad.pubmatic.com and other questionable ones besides doubleclick and etc. What is going on? It shouldn't be making any such connections one way or the other from a file manager.. (I normally don't use Dolphin, but Spectacle is ignoring my default file manager setting and manually opening Dolphin instead.)

EDIT: Figured it out. It was generating previews of .html files with such references. A file manager still should not do this though... Only Dolphin does. @kde I don't think it should do this.

Could there be like a torrent-like way of downloading system updates and app updates where you download the updates from other people close to you, who has already downloaded them before? Has anyone tried that?

🧩 KDE Frameworks 6.17 Is Out, Here’s What’s New • Linuxiac

｢ First off, you’ll notice that several key components have been updated to compile cleanly without leaning on Qt 6.10’s deprecated methods—and without relying on KDE Frameworks 6.16’s old APIs either. Attica, Bluez Qt, KArchive, KAuth, KBookmarks, and scores of others all now build free of those legacy calls ｣

По Ctrl+F7 в KDE 6.3.6 (X11) выплывает диалог фильтра окон. Как выключить этот глобальный хоткей? В настройках их нет теперь… Опять в конфиг лезть?

Glamour shot with the family laptops on Debian 13 release day. Not pictured: my 9-year old son and his otter, "Scottie Otter" who helped set up the table. We use KDE, Gnome, and swaywm depending on preferences and nobody makes a big deal out of it. #debian #thinkpad #trixie #screenshotsaturday #system76 #linux #kde #gnome #swaywm

First KDE 6.4.4 feedback on FreeBSD:
All running pretty smoothly afaic. Memory usage a bit high, but my guess that's bcs of the startup of a linux jail (I'm playing with installing Brave, which I did). Possibly I let go of that and stick to Librewolf, installed from the repos already.
Networkmgr by the Ghostbsd team is a nifty tool to handle your connections, works great in KDE also.
Automount by @vermaden is invaluable for easy mounting of your usb sticks. Both are available from Ports. Recognizing smb shares (my NAS) worked ootb.
One big, well known, Wayland-Sddm bug: don't use Ctrl+c or you're back on the command line 🤣 Copy by mouse still works.
All in all a good experience, I'll take it through it's paces next week.

#nextcloud made it possible for me to (self-)host my (and my family's) phone calendars, contacts, and even when pictures are taken, they get uploaded to our Nextcloud instance, and NOT to google/apple.

10/10, would recommend for any household looking to #degoogle.

Others include #searxng, has literally replaced all monolithic search engines, works great, no ads or AI

#mastodon, for my #activitypub based social network

#matrix for chatting with my social network

and also #KDE.

Some how I am very envious of the 60MB RAM footprint while booting into a #linode #vps. The best I could get onto my #homelab is 300MB usage on a #Ubuntu cloud image. This is unfortunately the same as my desktop #ArchLinux with #KDE running.

The Ubuntu server image idled at 600MB RAM usage with #docker & #sshd. The culprits using most ram are #snapd & #multipathd.

This afternoon I tried to boot a KDE Linux image on my mini PC. Plasma kept crashing, so I couldn't try it out.
I'll wait for the next snapshot.
