Neither. It’s about using screen pixels to make vertical/horizontal lines, using aliasing as feature.

I tried catbox, but that didn’t embed, and our instance is too slow to host images.

Durning peak loads, I may wait up to 2 minutes to fully load lemmy.sdf.org.

Otherwise I’d avoid Imgur as I always get 403 with a VPN, and I basically always use one.

Unfortunately, this is rather dependent on manufacturer (or rather how much they can fuck up).
Android 14, but without exFAT support.
I tried multiple, exFAT, ext4, f2fs, NTFS, nothing else works.

I’ve got Ulefone Armor 24. It can take a 1TB Micro SD, but only FAT32. Why a Linux-based OS can only do FAT32, despite supporting other FSs on internal storage goes beyond me.

By the way, there’s now a Wikipedia 2025 snapshot.
I am currently trying to fit that on my phone somehow. I wish I could just omit the index database at the end that can’t be split it seems. I have to keep it, but when it’s split up, it doesn’t work anyway (search is broken that way) (https://github.com/openzim/zim-tools/issues/295).
My phone can only do FAT32 for SD cards…

For 2024 Wikipedia, that seems to be around 18GiB of wasted space.

I don’t know.

My mind goes to spaghetti, poppy seeds, canned strawberries and maybe powdered sugar.

TIL: Don’t help others because it impedes their free will.

The image comes from xenia.chimmie.k.vu, but it’s down for a while now :(

It’s archived on https://web.archive.org/web/20250524013830/https://xenia.chimmie.k.vu/
Description from the site:

A vector drawing of Xenia with a witch hat, colorful broom, purple skirt, shoes and t-shirt along with the green “Linux” logo. She’s having a purple hair and the glasses. The background is fading from light purple to dark deep one. Licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. Made fully in Inkscape.

Also for the second, make sure to use a separate disposable email address, there will be spam.

The separate deals I found:
$1 for 10: https://www.stickermule.com/deals/4b02bdaf

$0.80 for 10: https://www.stickermule.com/deals/f167bd20

$1.25 for 10: https://www.stickermule.com/deals/fcde0915

$1.11 for 10: https://www.stickermule.com/deals/66a85adf

Also an old KDE logo. New, I just prefer the older logos.

I am not sure what you mean by the 2 things, since there’s just one, and above one of the Bash logos is just Linux and Fediverse.

I’ve labeled them:

1. In Slovakia we have a stationery shop chain called FaxCopy that prints stickers as well. Rather than a limited number of stickers, you get to fill an entire page. For example, SRA3 page, matte exterior-grade (I assume that could be waterproof, they don’t explain that…) costs €5.47. I only tried the cheapest paper option so far. That includes the cutting. However there’s 2 ways, I prefer to kiss-cut over die-cut due to spacing, then just cut it up with scissors. For kiss-cut it’s 5mm and for die cut it’s 3cm.
   Right, that brings me to another point, it is quite manual. You have to create the print template and cut template yourself. I used Inkscape for that.

2. Stickermule. Right, so they’ve went fully pro-Trump, sending pro-Trump emails to customers, and now I even found they made some 100ft wide “Vote for Trump” sign and Trump’s statue.
   Well, so why am I mentioning them? They’ve got a couple of promotions of 10 stickers for around $1 including shipping. Each can only be used once, but it’s possible to delete and re-create the account (needs a different phone number). Certainly doesn’t make them money.

Unfortunately, the latter is the company that acquired unixstickers.

Heh, I have the arch sticker on that exact spot too:

And I thought otter was referring to the specie of their fursona.

Oh well.

“I donated money to them so I am going to use it.”

Although not much, just 20 EUR. Not sure how much the bundled Windows license costs, but surely Microsoft has other ways to earn from spyware.

I am not alone!

At first I installed Arch because I got an Arch sticker, and if I put it on my laptop that felt like the only appropriate solution.

Arch. After every update I check what broke. And then discover things I forgot to check.

I am still not sure if it’s already safe to upgrade VirtualBox and iio-sensor-proxy, but I am too lazy to just downgrade them yet again.

So I just…

IgnorePkg   = iio-sensor-proxy # Issues in Wayland after suspend
IgnorePkg   = virtualbox virtualbox-host-modules-lts virtualbox-host-dkms virtualbox-guest-iso # Segfault in 7.2.x, reverted to 7.1.8 - see sys-management-log.txt entry 2025-08-29

If you’re curious about the log entries:

2025-07-06:
        downgraded iio-sensor-proxy to 3.6-1 as 3.7 caused issues after suspending
        added iio-sensor-proxy to IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf

2025-08-29:
        downgraded virtualbox packages to 7.1.8 as 7.2.x was broken (segfault)
        installed linux-lts-headers as the downgraded virtualbox suddenly wanted that
        removed and reinstalled related packages a couple of times (virtualbox-host-modules-lts, virtualbox-host-modules-arch, virtualbox-host-dkms), as well as switching between linux-lts and linux. Hopefully that didn't create any brand new funny business.
        I want to die
        added IgnorePkg   = virtualbox virtualbox-host-modules-lts virtualbox-host-dkms virtualbox-guest-iso to /etc/pacman.conf

I recommend writing some documentation about your system. My Manjaro install became a total unknown mess after a while. I know I had to create some symlinks at some point to fix something, something something custom “XDG_CONFIG_HOME” dir with separate theme to un-break Cisco Packet Tracer on dark theme, edited startup script for Packet Tracer.
On one Ubuntu VM I edited a bunch of config files that I didn’t remember so it was just don’t touch it while it works.

But hey, I feel better after knowing that during high school our internet was down for weeks because something broke on main proxy server and nobody had documentation for the 2 decades old backup server, including the password, so it just ended up running in a “don’t touch it” mode, except that it also limited download speed on unknown PCs (based on MAC) to something like 32Kbps, which after 20 years meant nearly any PC so the solution was to copy MACs from basically ewaste.

Anyway… write documentation for what you do.

Hard water should wash soap off easily

That is what I am saying. Soap yes. shower gel and shampoo no.

And? We have an adjustable one, it cost €6 at Lidl.

Depends on water though. I find it impossible to fully wash off shampoo or shower gel with hard water, but bar soap will wash off easily and fully.
I don’t know what’s really going on there though.
