How are you parsing JSON on the command line?
  • @j4k3 s/u/i sorry didn’t mean to speak for you lol

  • How are you parsing JSON on the command line?
  • @j4k3 DuckDb is what u use. JQ’s syntax never clicked in my head

  • Partial upgrade to xubuntu 24.04 from 23.10, FS only accessible in recovery mode as root + wifi may be down. Help appreciated
  • @ceciline02 you can pipe dmesg into less I think. Dmesg | less and then use the forward slash to search but also you can use the up and down arrows to go up and down.

  • Kicked macOS to the Curb and Installed Asahi Fedora Gnome
  • @radix @MrSoup yeah … Apple didn’t release any specs for their stuff so the @AsahiLinux team had to reverse engineer everything.

  • Partial upgrade to xubuntu 24.04 from 23.10, FS only accessible in recovery mode as root + wifi may be down. Help appreciated
  • @ceciline02 when you execute those commands — not even sure if this would help — does dmesg say anything? Even before you go to mount them on boot maybe dmesg might say something about the disks? Or any log in var log?

  • [ META ] What is the community's opinion of Pop!_OS?
  • @gregorum @jjlinux newer packages and it wasn’t arch. Plus I like dnf.

  • Opinion: GNOME vs. macOS user experience
  • @pukeko that’s wonderful to hear. I got an M3 max (a huge stupid purchase I agonized about for a month before convincing myself I earned it lol) coming in just 10 or so days. But M3 support is behind M2 for now. And I don’t fault them for it. I’ll wait patiently for it to work.

    My dream would be a finger print reading immutable Fedora running Sway with full disk ZFS encryption.

  • Opinion: GNOME vs. macOS user experience
  • @exanime @boredsquirrel ehh macOS has really polished software. It can also run a lot of the open source software Linux gets. Media seems better on it. Rogue Amoeba makes some legit stuff. But it’s more or less tied to the hardware. If it were open I’d run Linux on it and im hoping Asahi gets us there. macOS also a bit more user friendly focused. 🤷🏾‍♂️

  • What could your distro learn from another distro?
  • @lemmyreader @barbara it’s a bit annoying but I kinda like that I have to manually link it a bit. So I create sh scripts in the usr/local/bin that just execute the flatpak run command

  • What to include in a backup? (Ubuntu)
  • @Tick_Dracy @WbrJr ZFS snapshots and boot environments could probably do this. Not sure about the usb thing though. @allanjude (tagging Allan so I don’t besmirch ZFS too much).

  • Linux users with uncommon or unusual setups: tell us about it
  • @mjpc13 this would be an amazing blog if you wrote it up. Front page HN content right here. Very cool stuff. Thank you for sharing.

  • Linux users with uncommon or unusual setups: tell us about it
  • @mjpc13 @cyclohexane that’s impressive. Would mean the laptops should also be supported ? Was it hard to do?

  • RAID setup for Ubuntu media server
  • @originalucifer @blackstampede I’d rather ZFS for the data integrity stuff than anything else.

  • RAID setup for Ubuntu media server
  • @originalucifer @blackstampede if you can just do software raid and if possible get the disks to look like JBOD (just a bunch of disks) CPUs are so much faster these days software raid even ZFS offers so much more than hardware raid.

  • Window snapping
  • @Euphoma @1111 last I checked it doesn’t work on the latest gnome
