I was told that I might be able to get help in a dedicated community. I am using rsync to backup my home directory to an external SSD. My laptop uses btrfs while the SSD uses exFAT. When sending files over, file sizes are WAY bigger, the home directory is around 385 GiB and there is over 700 GiB of free space, but it was unable to fit midway through transfer. I partially solved this by uninstalling problematic programs, like Steam and Kdenlive (which can be reinstalled later) and removing large files that I didn't need. Some of the bulk is also due to fit repos it seems (someone said those have loads of links or something?)
This DKMS module allows you to overclock some USB devices by overriding their endpoints' bInterval values in the device descriptors – if the device physically allows you to poll it at higher frequency and will give you more data.
SUSE recommends that companies should run on FOSS – but an accidental revelation from a company exec, live on stage, reveals it doesn't practice what it preaches. It's not alone.
The HID subsystem changes were merged this week for the ongoing Linux 7.0 kernel merge window. Among the Human Interface Devices (HID) work this cycle were supporting more guitars while also adding more device IDs and different laptop quirks.
Probably safe to assume that by housing affordability he means affordability of mansions and by cutting red tape he's referring to getting rid of regulations stopping him from sucking up whats left of the Murray Darling..
The GNOME Project released today the beta version of the upcoming GNOME 50 desktop environment series with more new features and improvements across most of the GNOME apps and components.
The XFS filesystem could gain exciting new features, and more specifically, autonomous self-healing capabilities in the upcoming Linux kernel 7.0 cycle, following a pull request submitted by XFS maintainer Darrick J. Wong.
I've had some troubles trying to get the Eduroam network working on my laptop when I'm at my university, which is not preferable as their guest wifi kinda sucks. But I finally fixed it and got it working perfectly*. I'm hoping this will help someone, somewhere.
Over a month after the previous 6.22 release, KDE announced the launch of Frameworks 6.23, expanding its collection of add-on libraries for Qt and enhancing functionality for developers across various platforms.
Hi! I've been trying to navigate to ext.to today and I've got this message from Cloudflare. Is any of you is experiencing the same? Do you know what's going on?
A malicious campaign of 30 Chrome extensions masquerading as AI assistants has infected over 300,000 users, stealing credentials, email content, and browsing data[^1]. The extensions, dubbed "AiFrame" by LayerX researchers, share common infrastructure under the domain tapnetic[.]pro and use iframes to load remote content rather than implementing actual AI functionality[^1].
As some long overdue housekeeping, the Linux 7.0 kernel has removed an Error Detection And Correction "EDAC" driver for the Intel 440BX and 440GX chipset. The driver is being removed not only because that chipset was just used by old Celerons and Pentium II / Pentium III CPUs but that it's been in the kernel all this time while being known to be broken for 19+ years.
Systemd is a core part of most Linux distributions today, but managing services from the command line with systemctl can feel intimidating, especially for newer users. That’s where a promising new project caught my attention: systemd-manager-tui.
Back in my teenage years I remember making music videos to my favorite songs in WMM. It didn't require any previous knowledge about cutting or other video editing tools. It was just simple and intuitive.
Hello everyone, does anyone know of a batch resizing tool on Linux that can resize loads of images all at once while keeping all the images the same aspect ratio as before? I would like to make all my images in a game have either a width of at least 128 px or height of 192 px (e.g. an image that is 700x875 would resize down to 154x192px, so that width is > 128 px and height = 192 px. I think for most of the images resizing based on height will work, but you never know!)
The other day my PC randomly threw an error saying my hard drive was full. I quickly deleted some games so it wouldn't freeze and then went to look wtf happened to see the xorg.log file was over 200 gigs!! I deleted it and rebooted and was fine.
Using the title that the ABC has used but the important part I think is the announcement of $87 million in helping support survivors in redress, family tracing, and trauma-informed care.
All of the media subsystem driver updates have been merged for the in-development Linux 7.0 kernel and brings some new work around AV1 acceleration as well as other driver updates.
Ubuntu has taken another step that, honestly, leaves me scratching my head. While most distributions try to offer as many convenient GUI tools as possible to help users manage every part of their system, Ubuntu… apparently sees things a bit differently.
Intel has upstreamed some Resource Control "resctrl" improvements to Linux 7.0 for enhanced telemetry monitoring. This is the good kind of telemetry with this new code being useful for being able to monitor how much energy or work is attributed to a group of tasks / process IDs on the system.

I had previously stopped playing this game as, simply put, my level of English wasn't high enough to understand the story and the language, but now that I've resumed playing this game and gotten past A Realm Reborn... I'm having so much fun ✨
I see a lot of fragmented datasets out there, does anyone know of something comprehensive (e.g. all files from all datasets) who is annotating the files and accepting submissions?
Hey all, I recently got a new AMD GPU to replace my nvidia 3070ti - what's the support like these days for egpus on Linux? I'd like to be able to still use the 3070ti with my laptop (it has thunderbolt ports).
There were recently patches for getting the Adobe Photoshop 2025 installer to work on Linux under Wine. Those patches were picked up by Wine-Staging and now more traction is coming for getting those patches into the upstream Wine codebase, some of which have now been merged.
