@pixelate Kind of weird to me that it will not get the new OS, since my 16 inch laptop was made that same year, but I’ll be in the same boat as you when macOS 27 comes out.

Currently, I’m planning to order a #linux computer in a couple of days, but I’ll be getting a new laptop at a later point in time.

NixOS printing problems

sh.itjust.works/post/40183449

sh.itjust.worksNixOS printing problems - sh.itjust.workscross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/40081431 [https://sh.itjust.works/post/40081431] > A friend and I are trying to get a machine set up to work as my school’s library’s printing computer instead of Windows ones. It is running NixOS. We got it bound to active directory, applications installed, etc., but the issue is that we can’t get it to print. It’ll say that it’s printing but the print job never reaches the print server. To access the print server you’re supposed to authenticate, but it doesn’t ever give a prompt to. I tried turning off the firewall temporarily to see if that was the issue but it made no difference. > > In configuration.nix, services.printing.enable=true and services.printing.drivers = [ pkgs.cups pkgs.hplip ]; (it is an HP printer that we’re currently testing on). > > I’m thinking that either SAMBA is configured incorrectly and/or the syntax that I put into CUPS for the printer is incorrect. > > Current SAMBA config: > > services.samba = { > enable = true; > openfirewall = true; > settings = { > public = { > path = “/srv/public”; > browseable = true; > writable = true; > “guest ok” = true; > > In CUPS it shows the syntax for a Windows printer via SAMBA as follows: smb://[workgroup/]server[:port}/printer > > The issue is that I don’t know what it means by that. I know the print queue, domain, IP, and port (although I’m under the impression that I don’t need the port for this case), but I don’t know how it would fit into this. I tried looking around on the CUPS wiki but it was vague and confusing to me. Any help with this is much appreciated.

Thanks to all who replied with suggestions for cheap #Linux capable hardware. I ended up getting an 8-year-old Dell gaming laptop for the bargain price of "help me set up this new one I just bought"

Everyone who uses a Chromium based browser needs to try this: github.com/deepjyoti30/startpa

EDIT: #firefox as well, apparently.

It's a highly customizable "new tab" that is installed by git cloning the repository and then unpacking the extension manually, which is exactly what you want for something like this; that way, everything is run 100% locally, and nothing phones home.

I just got done setting it up with all of my browser profiles, to give them each a unique name for the new tab, so that Qtile has individual window titles to match against rules, so that I can just autostart all of them at once and have them all sorted into their respective workspaces (you can't get me to call them "groups," lol) without having to touch anything.

It's the little things; it really is.

I am building gcc-15.1.0 on my iMac G4 (Tiger) machine. It is on stage2, which is a good sign.

It will include C, C++, Fortran, Modula-2, Objective C, and Objective C++ compilers.

It will depend on my new PowerPC Mac OS X modernization library, libpcc: github.com/ibara/libppc

I'll write a blog post about how to use it once it is all compiled; my goal is to produce a turnkey solution that just works(TM), including assembler, linker, and other utilities, as recent as possible for PowerPC.

And libppc can be instantly extendable to incorporate more C11 and later features. Hopefully others in the retro Mac community are interested in building that up with me.

My ultimate goal is to build some flavor of WebKit some day and have a modern web experience (even if slow, and possibly using X11). But in the meantime we will probably build a lot of excellent modern software to keep these machines going.

just wiped and unplugged the #xbox series s and disabled internet access on the #ps4. i'll jailbreak the latter once it reaches eol.

for now i've installed the digital games i bought. i'm going to be hunting either physical ps4 copies of those games or pc copies if they'll run under #proton .

Are there any #linux distros left which support i586?
I'd like to install it on an EBOX-553350DX2, Vortex86DX2 A9125 CPU.
I've tried Netboot.xyz - Gentoo and Arch fail to load, Debian wants the CMOV extension, Kali wants i686, and Alpine kinda tries to load then barfs.
The only OS I've had success with (so far) is OpenBSD 7.6.

transferring games locally via steam from one machine to another works perfectly

but it has some conditions
* the source machine has to NOT download/update anything
* the game "version" has to be the same (eg native linux vs windows version)
* some files, eg shaders, have to be downloaded separately, it will show a normal download for a while

#steam will show the local network transfer on both steam clients

more: help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/

**TL;DR:** The image shows a Steam game file transfer screen while monitoring network usage via a system performance tool. **Extracted text:** * Game: "AVOWED" (Transferring game files from device: WARMACHINENEW10) * Network: 96.7 MB/s, Peak: 109.6 MB/s, Disk usage: 97.4 MB/s * Transferring: 27.1 GB / 67.5 GB (40%) * Estimated time remaining: 2:22:07 * Completed downloads: HELLDIVERS 2, DOOM: The Dark Ages, Factorio, Steamworks Common Redistributables * Wired network stats: 740 Mbps (receive), 978 Kbps (send), 1.28 TB received, 6.53 GB sent **Description for blind users:** The image is a screenshot showing two applications. On the left is a system monitor displaying performance metrics like CPU, GPU, storage, and network usage in real-time. A purple graph tracks wired Ethernet usage, peaking near 1 Gbps. On the right is the Steam client, transferring files for the game "Avowed" over the local network, with progress at 40%. The interface lists other games recently completed: HELLDIVERS 2, DOOM: The Dark Ages, and Factorio, all with green "Play" buttons.
