It ought to be mandatory to write this out whenever talking about Linux. I've seen more than one person bash Linux in a public forum "because it has digital rights management built into the kernel" after they've misinterpreted some news headline.

Did you try running xev and pressing the key to see if it shows up as something?

If you're using btrfs then you might need to rebalance it. I had the same problem, i.e. "no free space" while tools like df reporting that there should be available disk space, and it confused the hell out of me until I found the solution.

See manual: https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Balance.html

This are the commands I run every now and then, especially if my drive has been close to full and I delete a bunch of files to make more space:

sudo btrfs balance start -dusage=10 /
sudo btrfs balance start -dusage=20 /
sudo btrfs balance start -dusage=30 /

The / at the end is the path, since it's my root mount which uses btrfs. The example in the manual does 40 and 50 too, but higher numbers take longer time, even on an nvme ssd.

Sammanfattning av insändaren:

Jag förstår inte varför andra gör saker

Det jag inte förstår är läskigt

Alla borde vara mer som mig

Btw. jag röstar på Demokraterna

Fast till deras försvar så kan tidningen ha formulerat om texten.. Jag skickade en insändare till Metro för länge sen, och de klippte om det jag skrivt så jag också lät som en mupp.

snap/flatpak >500mb

And to make it worse, snap keeps copies of previous versions of all programs. Which can be good if you need to roll something back, but at least last time I used Ubuntu it didn't provide any easy way to configure retention or clean up old snaps.

Cyberpunk feels like it so much missed potential it almost made me sad playing it.. The game is gorgeous and in many ways it really nails the cyberpunk feeling, which I've been very fond of since I was a kid so I would just love to be able to immerse myself in a game like this.

However it keeps slapping me in the face with stupid things that break the immersion.. Primarily the low effort CRPG item system, where each weapon and piece of clothing has random stats. So you find 10 identical looking guns but they all do different amount of damage and add some random elemental damage, which would've made more sense if they were magical weapons in a fantasy game.. When I last played it I found an oversized dildo that does 4 times as much damage as my katana.. And of course a tiny bikini can have better armour value than actual armour..

Which browser are you using? Perhaps it has some built in blocking

What kind of business? The only place I worked that ran exclusively Linux, i.e. not in a VM on top of Windows, was Opera Software. Everybody got to install and manage their own computer, which might not be ideal from a security standpoint.

Most places I've worked use Linux VM:s on top of Windows, I'm guessing probably because management and/or the IT department only knows Windows and can't imagine life without it :/ Subsequently the vast majority of issues have been either directly related to Windows/Office/Teams, or accessing Windows shared drives etc. from Linux.

Vagrant seemed pretty convenient when deploying identical development environments, if that could be of any help to you.

Several times I’ve been stuck on a broken version of Discord because on the server side they force an update to the new client, and the new client has not been packaged as a Snap yet.

To be fair this is more of an issue with Discord than snap.. Would be understandable if it was an urgent security fix but they do it every time, and then it breaks for everybody who is using anything else than the deb or tar.gz they provide.

Workaround for Fedora: Edit /usr/lib64/discord/resources/build_info.json and increase the version number to whatever Discord tells you is the new version. And hope that the update wasn't a fix for some remote code execution vulnerability :)

Cheap and dirty you say? Challenge accepted!

  • Second hand mechanical keyboard from craigslist: $20 or even less if you're lucky
  • Pro Micro MCU from aliexpress: $5
  • 100 pack of diodes from aliexpress: $1
  • Assorted lengths of wires: $2

Desolder all the switches you need from the old keyboard and reuse the keycaps. Make a grid to mount the keycaps in by cutting out squares from cardboard and gluing several layers together, and stick the switches in the holes. Handwire everything and connect both sides to the same MCU, which should work as long as you don't have too many rows and columns. Flash the MCU with QMK.

The trick to switchich to ortho layout, or anything else vastly different from what you're used to, is to go all in. If you only use one at home and keep using a "normal" keyboard at work you'll likely never get used to the new layout. For me it took about 1 week until I could write comfortably on split ortho and a couple of more weeks until I would type at my old speed. Now that I'm used to it I have no problems switching between split ortho and traditional keyboards.
