  • Kopi luwak (civet coffee)

    Jump

  • The story I heard was that Kopi Luwak was discovered by Indonesian slaves working Dutch coffee plantations. They weren't allowed to drink the coffee they farmed, but they were allowed to pick through civet dung and gather coffee that way.

    Once the Dutch learned what the slaves were doing and tried it for themselves, they determined it tasted better than their own terrible brew methods and declared it a delicacy. Then the slaves were left with nothing.

  • Bazzite has seen a massive jolt in growth over the holiday season, surpassing 50k active users. The Fedora Atomic image has gained 38.8k users total in 2025 since it began counting in April 🥳

  • It is on by default, but can be disabled in your repo config: https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/conf_ref.html

    The feature works by adding a flag to one random http request to a fedora repo every week. Fedora then aggregates the http logs that have been flagged to derive their metrics. You can opt out of sending the flag, but if you're querying fedora repos then you still end up in their http log.

  • 'It's not a clone of D:OS2': 6 big takeaways from our interview with Larian after the reveal of Divinity

    Jump

  • Good. The combat was one of the weaker parts of D:OS2.

    • Late-game damage sponge enemies.
    • There are fundamentally two enemy types: weak to physical and weak to magic.
    • Goddamn cursed ground where you waste source points blessing it only for an enemy to re-curse it next turn.

  • Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox

    Jump

  • He says he could begin to block ad blockers in Firefox and estimates that’d bring in another $150 million, but he doesn’t want to do that. It feels off-mission.

    Doesn't want to do that? Just like how 6 months ago, Sam Altman said he didn't want OpenAI to do adult content? Hopefully I'm overreacting, but I'm worried more about this kind of thinking than an AI feature.

  • Is audiophile bullshit cheating?

    Jump

  • My friend told me this story from his antique radio club:

    One club member is an audiphile and a former vibrations engineer for automotive companies. He disassembled his speakers and arranged custom housing for the drivers such that, based on his preferred listening spot, the peak of an average waveform from every driver would synchonize exactly at the spot where his ears should be. This, according to him, produces an unbeatable sound. We're talking about opening a speaker and moving its tweeter, like, half a millimeter back.

    No, I don't understand how this is supposed to work, let alone consistently.

    Storytime about a PC not booting and looking for help

    Jump

  • I use a PiKVM to manage my server at boot.

    It streams video from the HDMI port so I can see what's happening before boot, and plugs into a USB socket to emulate a remote keyboard.

    Saved me the other week when I installed a new network card and the server lost its network connection. Since I could still reach the KVM, I logged in remotely and solved the issue.

    Although some KVM devices can take power from the USB connection to the host, you should make sure your KVM has an independent power supply. Otherwise, when you shut down your server, the KVM will lose power and then you can't remotely turn it back on again.

  • California officials warn against foraging wild mushrooms (during this high-risk season) after deadly poisoning outbreak

    Jump

  • I had to look up what possible edible someone might confuse with a death cap.

    Apparently there's an Asian mushroom that can be confused with death caps. The secret to not confusing it with a death cap is knowing it doesn't grow in the US. I wonder if this is AI identification going amok, or if there are people from Asia who are foraging it and not realizing the problem until too late.

    A sad reminder to make sure your foraging guide is tailored to the area you are in.

  • [Solved] How to set up Linux for gaming on GIGABYTE G5 MF?

    Jump

  • I know it's late advice, since you already switched from Bazzite, but I've never understood why people have an aversion to adding a layered package to the immutable system.

    My attitude has always been: If an update breaks something, the whole point is that I can roll back. I've been running Fedora Silverblue with many layered packages for several years, and the worst thing that ever happened was when I had to delay a system update by a few hours because the latest build of a layered package hadn't hit the repos yet.

    Plus, for anything like development work that requires build dependencies, I spin up a toolbox to compile it. The nice thing about the default toolbox is that it's a base Fedora install, so all the system libs are compatible with my host machine. I've found it's often simple to compile a project in the toolbox and then launch the executable from my host system without adding any new layered packages to it.

  • I lile my pinenote a lot. I mostly use it for reading.

    As long as I'm reading or doing any touch-screen-y things (taking notes, viewing images, etc) it's great! For anything that involves writing/copying/pasting text, it's not very usable with just the on-screen keyboard, you really need an external bluetooth interface. I find web browsing very tedious if I have to type anything in the url bar without a physical keyboard.

    Also, it's still very much a WIP. The version of Debian it shipped with had a bug where I couldn't install any software updates without deleting some random lib64 directory. Once I did that, everything was fine. The device has no security by default, so I created a new user with an encrypted HOME.

    With import tariffs to the US, I ended up paying $500 for it, which really got me down. As a $400 open hardware machine, it would have been easier to look past the rougher edges. And I wish it had more RAM.

    But overall it's worth it to me because I've wanted a more libre e-reader for a long time. It's gotten me back into reading books, which has been a lot of fun. Plus, because it's an actual computer, I set it up as a tablet-like interface to my home automations.

  • Gatekeeper: The first open-source DDoS protection system. Has anyone tried mass hosting this as a group?

  • Conspiracy time: Trustee #3 "lost" their key because polling suggested that they wouldn't like the results.

    I have no reason to believe that's actually the case, but it's interesting that the org uses a 3 key system to prevent collusion between trustees, but didn't think about how this might enable lone-trustee sabotage.
