Honestly to play devil’s advocate, California’s law almost is the lesser of 2 evils, if software can ask the OS for age verification then maybe companies will stop rolling out actually invasive verification, and if the OS verification is handled by the sysadmin then it satisfies both sides, people that want to have age verification, and people that think it should be left in the hands of parents as a parenting role. Me personally? I’d rather we have no verification at all but that isn’t the path the world is moving down.

Linux@programming.dev•How do I pass traffic on some port to a wireguard peer
2·5 days agoAre the https requests being sent to an IP address assigned to node B? If so you either need an nginx reverse proxy on node B or NAT with port forwarding.

Linux@programming.dev•Steam hardware survey for February 2026. What happened? Why did it lose such a big percentage?
2·9 days agoGoogle figured out the translation for me lol…and yes I know I made your point… although as I said in another comment I do try to be noob friendly…that just only applies to noobs.

1·9 days agoLMFAO, I do try to be friendly to noobs…but I am naturally a pedant and so when not dealing with noobs I let the pedant out a bit more. But I do agree with the sentiment that the power users are not welcoming.

4·9 days agoComputer engineering is typically hardware and low level software design which doesn’t really fit the analogy you’re going for.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•New rule for filesystem developers
23·14 days agoOh god, as if I wasn’t scared enough about running a filesystem that got kicked out of mainline and is maintained more or less by a single dude. I’ll stick to btrfs thanks

Linux@programming.dev•Linus Torvalds and friends: how Linux evolved from solo act
1·20 days agoWith x86 Macs I would agree they do…but with the ARM Macs…I’m not so sure. They’re so unique hardware wise it starts to depend on how you define PC. If you define it as the acronym “Personal Computer” then a Mac is always a PC regardless of what you run on it. If we’re talking IBM PC then modern Macs are never that. (I think the latter definition is generally more helpful as otherwise PC vs Mac makes no sense and phones become PCs etc)

Linux@programming.dev•Gentoo Linux Begins Codeberg Migration In Moving Away From GitHub, Avoiding Copilot
2·22 days agoThat’s fair, I hardly ever use all because there’s just too much stuff that I’m not interested in, but I can see how having multiple accounts would get very annoying.

31·23 days agoMaybe I’m in the minority here but at least the communities I’m in, I usually only see one post and it’s from this account. Like no one else has posted this in any community I’m subscribed to so I don’t see it as spam at all. I will say the account posts a lot but I never get duplicates which means the alternative would be for the community to be a lot emptier. I guess I just don’t see the problem.

Linux@programming.dev•SUSE exec blurts that the company uses Teams
4·23 days agoObviously most companies will join whatever meeting invite they get sent but all the meetings they’ve created with me are via meet (we normally use teams)

Linux@programming.dev•SUSE exec blurts that the company uses Teams
7·23 days agoI have had calls with SUSE sales reps because I’m in the enterprise space, can confirm they use Google meet and Google workspace in general. Still not FOSS, but not Microsoft.

Linux@programming.dev•XFS Could Gain a Self-Healing Feature in Linux Kernel 7.0

Linux@programming.dev•This Application Brings macOS Styled Installer for AppImages on Linux
1·29 days agoRegister what file extension .appimage? Would that even work? Most software on Linux only uses file extensions as a hint at best and nothing at worst because magic numbers are usually preferred. Is there any file explorer that lets you register a file handler for ELFs regardless of file extension?
Yes I know, I was gonna say “shell is confused” but it just didn’t feel like it had the same ring to it
Bash would be confused
Have they fixed the networking stack? Last I tried it outright crashed the whole system when I enabled IPv6 which makes it useless for me even just in a VM for testing
It’s not Linux tho, haiku

Tbh I wouldn’t trust a script that repartitions my storage even if it wasn’t written by AI.
