I thought I would never have to see BSOD after switching to linux, but here we go...

[ tbh, I love that errors are presented much better, just that the name doesn't bring back much good memories.

Glad that there are govt. level systems who make use of Linux (mostly ubuntu ) systems here. For eg. , in kerala, all govt schools and colleges use linux for computer labs and academic activities, i guess the local body administration too use ubuntu.

Only wish we could convince those private sector schools of the money they'll save converting those slow windows systems to linux.

Incoming changes in JDK / JRE 21 packages may require manual intervention (archlinux.org)
 

We are introducing a change in JDK/JRE packages of our distro. This is triggered from the way a JRE is build in modern versions of Java (>9). We are introducing this change in Java 21.

To sum it up instead of having JDK and JRE packages coexist in the same system we will be making them conflict. The JDK variant package includes the runtime environment to execute Java applications so if one needs compilation and runtime of Java they need only the JDK package in the future. If, on the other hand, they need just runtime of Java then JRE (or jre-headless) will work.

This will (potentially) require a manual user action during upgrade:

  • If you have both JDK and JRE installed you can manually install the JDK with pacman -Syu jdk-openjdk and this removes the JRE related packages.
  • If you have both JRE and JRE-headless you will need to choose one of them and install it manually since they would conflict each other now.
  • If you only have one of the JDK/JRE/JRE-headless pacman should resolve dependencies normally and no action is needed.

At the moment this is only valid for the upcoming JDK 21 release.

Recent terrorist attack in Kalamasseri and race to the bottom by Malayalam news channels! in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

News18 first showed the picture of a Muslim man as culprit ( before getting his name & details )

And if u follow twitter, Even Sachin Tendulkar and PV sindhu suddenly got "shocked" by the incident.

Not saying that all our medias are working with an agenda ( many of above channels just want their viewership rise, no matter how ), but there has been efforts to communalize the narrative too.

Although i applaud their moral stance, this probably only helps to just stagnating one more business. Its not as if they were providing any defence clothes or equipments.

Introducing the Proton Calendar Search Feature (kerala.party)
 

[ From proton reddit announcement ]

We're happy to announce that the search feature for Proton Calendar is now available in the latest version of the web app!

Now you can easily find the events you're looking for – whether you need to confirm an event’s location, get more details from its description, see participants, and more.

If you haven’t already, try it out here: https://calendar.proton.me

Search is made possible by creating a local index of your events and storing it on your device. When you search for an event, the app goes through the index of your downloaded events and highlights all matches. That way, no event content is made visible to Proton for the purpose of a search.

Read more about Calendar search in our knowledge base: https://proton.me/support/calendar-search

As always, thank you for your continuous support,

The Proton team

Yeah. If someone have a good DE , arch is as easy as some other distros. I have 3 friends whose laptops i installed with pure arch + GNOME ( by sideloading aside windows, but setting arch as default 😈) . Its still on their laps, and the only problem they only thing i had to say them was to update weekly or bi-weekly.

[ From reddit announcement ]

Today, we’re excited to announce that the new Proton VPN Linux app is now officially available for everyone.

With the new Linux application, you get a host of features:

  • Protocols: OpenVPN-UDP and OpenVPN-TCP
  • VPN Accelerator
  • Moderate NAT
  • NetShield Ad-blocker
  • Kill switch
  • Port forwarding
  • Auto connect at app startup
  • Pin servers to tray

Secure Core support will be added in the coming months as well. And though WireGuard is not yet supported, we’ve implemented OpenVPN DCO on our servers, which gives you identical results in terms of performance.

Find more information on how to install it in our KB article here.

For those of you wondering, in the coming months, we'll be working on a new Linux CLI based on your feedback.

Extension bisect : A vscode tool to find bad/buggy extensions faster. (code.visualstudio.com)
 

What it does is that when you encounter an issue with your extensions, it disables half of them, and asks you whether that fixed your issue or not. If it did, it repeats the process, disabling only half of that half, and asks you again - and so on and so forth until you home in on one troublesome extension.
