How do you know! Have you tried it?

disclaimer: linux noob here.

the separate pull request appears to be for archinstall, “a helper library which automates the installation of Arch Linux.” it would collect user age during installation… somehow?

this is what i was going off of. i’m running cachyos (arch). am i reading wrong?

It just says that when installed it was enabled, and it has been disabled later on. As for this apache server just after install Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled) – admstg Commented Dec 7, 2023 at 10:50

mine doesn’t appear to be? it says installed but disabled. unless i’m looking at the wrong service which is entirely possible.

It’s pretty annoying though. I’m sure there’s some way to remove it but until you activate there’s a watermark that shows up over every single application telling you to activate.

only if you don’t know how to reset secureboot?

Thanks for explaining it a bit more. I moved from Windows 11 to CachyOS (limine bootloader and kde plasma DE) sometime last year and that may be a bit above my paygrade right now. Based on what I’m seeing in the Arch Wiki it would seem that quite a few systemd components are in use for my distro.

forgive me if this is a joke, i’m not well versed in linux shit yet, but wouldn’t that only remove systemd-boot?

What is the alternative to systemd? I’m sort of a linux noob when it comes to this deeper level stuff.

hey that looks really interesting, thanks for sharing. will keep an eye on development for sure!

Because people prefer convenience to privacy and accessibility, I guess? If there was an easy way to scrape/crawl discord data I would be hoarding everything I could to repost on lemmy or something but AFAIK there are no easily automated ways to access it.

What I’m upset about is the absolute wealth of information that will be forever trapped behind Discord. What ever happened to good old fashioned forums? Hell, even a subreddit would at least have been scrapable. If there’s a mass migration away from Discord then all that information just gets lost. Example that Lemmings might care about - CachyOS has a forum, but I’ve seen the vast majority of troubleshooting and user input made on their Discord channel.

Cachy has been basically rock solid for me, after figuring out a couple nvidia issues. The biggest problem I faced was trying to understand wine/proton prefixes for restoring saves files on some of my older games. Though I’m running Plasma which I guess is kinda “vanilla” compared to these fancier DEs. Props to the Cachy team and the Arch Wiki team for having such a vast wealth of information available that’s pretty easy to follow!

I’m wondering if the HD2 mouse issue was bc he had a controller plugged in as well.

Elijah putting one monitor behind the corner of his primary monitor is giving me SUCH anxiety omg how has it not cracked yet!

Going back to GGG! I actually would call this good news!

They purchased all of Ookla from Ziff Davis, which includes Ekahau and RootMetrics. They’re in this for the commercial side of it. Speedtest and Downdetector seem to be mostly “public relations” sites from what I can tell. Like to get the Ookla name out there and have a positive public image.

It seems like they’re mostly interested in Ookla’s commercial mobile network services, Ekahau and RootMetrics.

They bought all of Ookla from Ziff Davis, which includes rootmetrics and ekahau (various mobile network analytics/performance optimization stuff). Downdetector and Speedtest are just the two Ookla products that most people know so they get the headlines.
