It looks like we'll soon be welcoming a lot of new Linux users here
  • There's an easy way to get rid of the ads throug the router settings, but I for one have no intention of sharing that secret with the Crapindows users. :D

  • Octopi - how to make it display only packages waiting for update?

    Hi. I wanna make octopi behave as close as possible to what pamac was, meaning that I want it to display only the packages with available updates. Atm it displays all installed packages and on top of that it ignores the pacman.conf feature "ignorepkg" and displays waiting updates for packages that I've added to ignorepkg.

    So, what I need help with is:

    1. How to make octopi display only packages waiting for updates?
    2. The above but WITHOUT displaying new versions for packages that are in the ignorepkg list.

    Dot Browser - A new gecko based browser that focuses on privacy and elegance
  • Gamivo and Kinguin, mostly. Also mediafire. Mediafire keeps saying "this form has been idle for too long". All the browsers that have some kind of track blocking have this problem with these sites, regardless of the engine. Only Chrome and Chromium don't have that feature and I have absolutely no problems to login to my profile.

  • Dot Browser - A new gecko based browser that focuses on privacy and elegance
  • Sounds... disappointing, really. While the feature of track blocking sounds appealing at first, that feature is the main reason I abandoned Firefox (after 15 years of using it) and all FF-like browsers that have it. More and more websites stop functioning properly with tracking blocked and I can't login to my profile. With these particular sites I have nothing to worry about tracking but unfortunately even with disabled tracking protection, they still refuse to let me log in. It's unlikely that the websites would remove the tracking functions, so until the developers of FF and FF-like browsers find a way to circumvent this problem with logging in, I don't see a reason for me or anyone else to use such a browser.

  • Pacman 6.0 is coming soon, here are the changes
  • Btw, is there are any approximate date for the release of 6.0?

  • Limit the download speed from within the OS?

    Hi, guys. I'm wondering if there's any way to limit the download speed from within Arch? I have made settings for that in the router CP but they don't seem to work bc Arch is completely ignoring them and keeps downloading with the full bandwidth it can get.

    The thing is that our IPTV is from another provider which is why I need to leave some bandwidth for the TV. When I'm downloading something directly (meaning from FTP or TCP), even if it's just for a fraction of the second, the TV dies instantly. That's why I need to limit the download speed somehow - preferably from within Arch.
