Input devices (including tablets) is one of the 3 current overarching Goals of the KDE project, so now might be a good time to get involved with testing.

If you’re on KDE there is kdotool , kdotool - a xdotool clone for KDE Wayland that works in conjunction with ydotool
The main one is KiCAD (electronics design).
They have a good article on the challenges they’re facing on Wayland, worth a read https://www.kicad.org/blog/2025/06/KiCad-and-Wayland-Support/
Yes now you can. But not initially. The old cube effect was removed and later re-implement

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Proxmox Backup Server: Bare Metal vs. Privileged LXC vs. VM?English
1·7 days agoThanks for sharing! TIL about
autofs. Now I’m curious to try NFS again.What’s the failure mode if the NFS happens to be offline when PBS initiates a backup? Does PNS try to backup anyway? What if the NFS is offline while PBS boots?
EDIT: What was the reason for bind mounting the NFS share via the host to the container, and NFS mounting from NAS to host?
I did the NFS-mount directly in the PBS. (But I am running my PBS as a VM, so had to do it that way)

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Proxmox Backup Server: Bare Metal vs. Privileged LXC vs. VM?English
2·7 days agoI run PBS as a virtual machine on Proxmox, with a dedicated physical harddrive passed through to PBS for the data.
While this protects from software failures of my VMs, it does not protect from catastrophic hardware failure. In theory I should be able to take the dedicated harddrive out and put it in any other system running a fresh PBS, but I have not tested this.
I tried running the same PBS with an external NFS share, but had speed and stability issue, mainly due to the hardware of the NFS host. And I wasn’t aware of
autofsat the time, so the NFS share stayed disconnected
SuSE is one of the two major enterprise Linux distributions, with RedHat being the other. I would assume servers make up the bulk of their business, but they provide desktops too.
RedHat is probably better known to most end-users, due to their Fedora community distribution, and their heavy involvement in Gnome.
SuSE’s community distribution is openSUSE
EDIT: Fittingly, the very top of their website says “Make your old Windows 10 PC fast and secure again!” and links to https://endof10.org/

5·11 days agoWow that makes so much sense!
When reading “packaging” in the news articles it sounds like some relatively simple logistics operating.
But for electronics and semi-conductors, the “packaging” is very much part of the manufacturing process to get a usable product. Like chips that come in Surface Mount and Through Hole versions

1·19 days agoYeah I agree there is good competition in that market these days, even if the transition work is costly. I’m sure a lot of companies are doing the math of paying the Broadcom VMWare tax Vs transitioning all their infrastructure

4·19 days agoBut Broadcom does do software now, they bought VMWare in 2023, and implemented aggressive license changes. From the article:
Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware and the subsequent price hikes haven’t gone down well with all customers, to the point that many have been considering alternatives. Thierry Carrez, general manager of the foundation behind one such alternative, OpenStack, told The Register: “Broadcom’s handling of VMware is a good example of the risk of trusting your infrastructure software fate to a single vendor. Those companies can be bought, can change direction, can change licensing terms anytime they want.”
“Broadcom continues to tighten the screws on Europe’s cloud infrastructure sector,” said CISPE.

3·3 months agoI had the original Jolla phone back in 2014, it was quite a cool device.
Ultimately it suffered from a lack of apps, and the Android compatibility was functional but a bit janky. There was an incredibly good native WhatsApp app, untill WhatsApp killed it for not being official.
Hope they have some success with the new one

It’s not, unless you know the keys.
Keys are created by the software/app made by the service provider, like WhatsApp / Meta or Google. How is the key created, and is a copy sent back to WhatsApp? “Securely” and “No” they claim, and you just have to trust them.
That can change if WhatsApp need to comply with new laws.
Signal is a bit different because of the app is fully open source, so the code can be audited to verify the integrity of the encryption. They would still need to comply with laws or exit that market, but whatever they do would be 100% transparent.
