  • France dumps Zoom and Teams as Europe seeks digital autonomy from the US

    Jump

  • I wouldn't expect that to change. Their primary intention is in building out a suite of tools for use within their own government institutions, rather than a wider audience. If you're interested in self hosting though, the Github documentation is pretty much all in English

  • France dumps Zoom and Teams as Europe seeks digital autonomy from the US

    Jump

  • "Visio" is their internally developed video conferencing platform. It's part of their "La Suite Numerique" suite of software, most of which is open source in large capacity

  • Notepad++ Hijacked by State-Sponsored Hackers

    Jump

  • Tl;dr: NPP suffered a supply chain attack via their hosting provider. They've moved hosts and improved checks performed by the in-app updater. 8.9.1 is the version to be on.

  • Chinese RAM

    Jump

  • Right now you're probably only going to find their products in SEA, SA and China based on what I've seen. You could try Chinese sites like Taobao and Alibaba, but if you're an American citizen then you aren't technically allowed to port them, as they're a banned manufacturer, as with most Chinese brands.

  • France will replace Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Webex and others with its own sovereign video conferencing application "Visio" for public officials

    Jump

  • It is. Currently their code is published under an Apache 2.0 license. There's links to it on the website, but the whole suite is on Github. It would be nice to see them migrate that codebase elsewhere down the line though

  • They've been building an entire open source suite of software tailored to their needs. If I had to guess, Jitsi isn't performant enough for large (100+) user meetings in a way they can scale easily. It's a great tool, but it seems better geared towards smaller loads. Video conferencing at scale is a pretty big challenge.

    Between this, their new Docs platform and some Matrix-based chat platforms, I think this is something they've put a fair bit of thought into how they want to build. Overall, it's a cool initiative, but I think it's pretty clear that it's open source as a means to be transparent as a government organization rather than to form a platform for broad use by everyone. They do have some self-hosting instructions on their GitHub though.

  • That time Apple sent everyone a U2 album: 'I DONT WANT YOU.'

  • ...Lyft Bieber?

  • The Amiga's filesystem is now on Linux and Mac, thanks to an emulated driver

    Jump

  • I think HTG used to be, but they seem to have pivoted to more than just their tech listicles and have a few writers that cover niche tech topics

  • Low speed when port forwarded

    Jump

  • Yes, you got it.

    It's possible that however your ISP provided router is designed, it's got some hidden port forward configuration. If that router has an option typically referred to as "bridge mode", you could bypass its routing features altogether and use your own router instead.

    ISPs often have clauses about using their residential internet for hosting servers or exposed services, and it's possible your has taken a different approach to mitigating traffic from those sources.

    If you can, I'd recommend using your own router rather than what the ISP provides.

  • Low speed when port forwarded

    Jump

  • If I understand correctly, it sounds like you moved from an ISP that uses CGNAT to one that does not. Does your ISP provide a modem? If so, are you relying on the software features of that modem, or do you have a router inbetween?

  • Discord gets improvements for video on Linux PCs and Steam Deck

    Jump

  • I'm using Fedora 43 Plasma under Wayland, with the regular Discord flatpak. Vesktop works, but I recall some oddly hacky things I had to do to make it work

  • Discord gets improvements for video on Linux PCs and Steam Deck

    Jump

  • It works and has worked for a while. Application specific sharing for audio is an oddity though, since it can't seem to isolate and you get all desktop audio excluding discord

  • Linux players on Steam hit an all-time high for November 2025

    Jump

  • It's best practice to keep it separate, and that mostly just has to do with how the different file systems are handled.

  • KDE Plasma 6.8 Set to Drop X11 Support Completely

    Jump

  • Wayland works differently than X11 in this regard. Using Fedora 40 on a Lenovo Yoga 730, I had to enable Tablet Mode from the KDE settings and then auto-rotation worked fine

    Surface devices might be different though, so I can't say too much about them. There may be a specific sensor library or tool required, since Wayland communicates with your device differently than X11

  • Linus Torvalds with Linus Sebastian (Linus Tech Tips)

    Jump

  • Interviews do typically count, it just has to be citable. Videos are sufficient in that regard as well, not just articles or books. It would be different if Torvalds had edited his own wikipedia page, but an editor who updates the page and cites this video would not be in the wrong.

  • KDE Plasma 6.8 Set to Drop X11 Support Completely

    Jump

  • I'm all for this. Wayland has its downsides, and X11 has its place, but I appreciate much more that Wayland is built for a desktop experience, and the broad support for different display technologies that KDE has made a priority in Plasma 6 is a large reason for why I made the jump over to Linux full time.

    XWayland hasn't caused any significant issues for me either. As far as the experience goes, it's pretty much transparent to the user. For the average person, the biggest difficulty still to solve is probably the XWayland video bridge that doesn't quite work as seamlesly as it should yet.

  • Linus Torvalds with Linus Sebastian (Linus Tech Tips)

    Jump

  • I mean, I feel like he outright confirms it in the video. It's his distro of choice since it allows him to easily use his own compiled kernels in testing. Anything else is an inconvenience to his work.

  • My hard drive keeps clicking like files are being accessed but I'm not doing anything in that filesystem and the indicator light doesn't indicate any usage.

    Jump

  • How's the overall health of the drives? You might want to get a quick SMART report.

    Otherwise, this sounds like pretty normal drive activity. It could be the result of anything from indexing tools to casual background processes doing a read.

    If it's periodic in a way that's consistent, then it's almost definitely something in software. What docker services are you running? Do you have any auditing tools or security processes that might be actively logging activity?

    It's pretty unlikely you've contracted malware unless you've gone out of your way to expose the server to outside sources, so I think you can alay those concerns.

  • Bottles 60.0 Launches with Native Wayland Support

    Jump

  • This is convenient. I've found that for most software though, especially legacy software, Heroic seems to work more often than not. Not having to configure some of the parameters myself that are required to get DX7 games to scale properly is appreciated.
