I am planning on streaming the mainboard replacement for my #FrameworkLaptop, but to do so I'll need a computer at the table where I'm going to do the work - can't do it at the desktop, the desk is (rightly) organized around my wife's work stuff. So - welcome back, cursed computer! The #Ubuntu #Surface Pro 3 returns, in all its glory. This is still a pretty nice device, despite its wear and tear from nearly a decade of service. Solidly built, nice action on the keyboard, beautiful screen. #linux #microsoft #framework #streaming

An old Microsoft Surface tablet, flanked by a closed Framework Laptop 13 and a cup full of pens and markers. Three windows are visible on the Surface's screen: the OBS website with installation instructions, an Ubuntu terminal window showing an OBS install, and OBS, running on top of them both.

This newbie who just celebrated 100 days of #selfhosting was able to install #Apache and #Varnish on her #Ubuntu VPS (to prevent the "Mastodon Hug of Death" for link preview cards on her self-hosted Ghost blog). She's very proud of herself for all the sudo commands she successfully ran today. And she's weirded out talking about herself in the third person, so: I did it YAY.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this Linux / self-hosting journey I'm on. Thank you for all your support & encouragement ❤️

This week Michael Hudson-Doyle of the #Ubuntu Foundations team published a write-up of our experimentation with the `-O3` GCC flag by default in the distribution.

The tl;dr is that we don't yet believe that the change makes sense globally, but there are certainly come packages that would benefit from using the increased optimisation level.

See the post here: discourse.ubuntu.com/t/benchma

Ubuntu Community Hub · Benchmarking a distribution (and some \-O3 results)In our previous Foundations update @mclemenceau shared an update on some of the experiments we conducted during the Plucky Puffin cycle, in particular about our decision to revert the change to the -O3 optimization level by default on amd64. As promised here is a few more details about what went into this project, methods used and challenges encountered. Results of -O3 experiment tl;dr Performance is slightly worse and packages are slightly bigger with -O3 by default and we will revert the chan...

Ubuntu Community Hub · Xubuntu 25.04 Beta ReleasedXubuntu 25.04 Beta ISOs are now available for download and testing. Codenamed “Plucky Puffin”, the thirty-ninth release of Xubuntu prominently features the newly released Xfce 4.20 and benefits from many bug fixes, delivering a wonderful and stable desktop operating system for everyone. Despite its relative stability, this milestone is prerelease software. It should not be installed on production hardware (e.g. anything that you depend on) and provides no guarantee of support. Instead, we welco...

Quick tip! You can actually see the changelog details for Debian/Ubuntu packages, which includes security info, CVEs, package urgency, and a short description. Super helpful for figuring out if you need to patch right away or schedule downtime, especially if you're working with clusters. For example, here is how to see info about the nginx:

apt changelog nginx

See cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubunt for more info.

`apt changelog nginx` command output showing the changelog of a package and displays it via default pager on Debian and friends.

I've installed Linux Mint Debian Edition onto one of my machines! I have been using Mint (the one made using Ubuntu) for about a decade and I'm happy to finally cut #Amazon out of the loop.

Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) feels almost exactly like Linux Mint. The only difference I've noticed is that it asks me about the GRUB bootloader more at setup than I recall from Linux Mint.

If all continues to go well with my first machine, I'll be switching the other machines to Debian Edition, as well.

I had a hard time finding information on the differences between specifically Debian and LMDE online that wasn't just AI-generated clickbait garbage, but I have the general impression that LMDE has more set up for me at the outset, which is what I prefer.

Have peered inside my miniature PC ahead of its #Ubuntu augmentation. It only has one M.2 slot for its #Windows 500GB SSD so the new drive will have to use a spare SATA bus. Partly to save money, partly because it’s just an experiment but mostly so I can distinguish the new drive from the old one, I’ve ordered a Samsung 250GB SSD. (I was also keen not to buy American, of course.) Next step will be preparing installation media for both OSes (in case something bad happens to the Windows 11 drive).

1. As an employee of #SUSE, I need to mention that we actually have one completely European enterprise Linux distribution with over thirty [!] years of experience. We are perfectly ready to serve anybody who wants to switch from any US-centric distro.

2. Even if you don’t want to pay for it, I don’t think #Debian (although SPI is American), or #Ubuntu are exactly slaves to US whims (and I don’t even know what is a domicile of #Arch). And, of course, #openSUSE is gratis as well.

#nixos roadblock getting a m.2 #google Coral TPU up 😮‍💨 no more steam left this Sunday morning.
Swapping for #Ubuntu and Docker so I can start testing with #OpenWebUI.

I have not been defeated yet though! Once my PCIe to m.2 e-key adapter shows up I will attempt to get the device working with NixOS once again. I want the device on the main app server.
