Ouch, that’s a nasty bug imho. Thanks to this wiki entry I’ve looked up the file librewolf.cfg in /var/lib/flatpak/ and changed :

pref("network.trr.mode", 2);

into

pref("network.trr.mode", 5);

and that seems to fix it for now (till a newer LibreWolf maybe overrides that file).

fans start rotating for a few seconds and then it shuts down.

That could mean the CPU is getting too warm. Does the CPU cooler still work okay ?

Nice.

RHEL, Ubuntu, & Debian cover the vast majority of enterprise installs I imagine, and provide a solid testing base for developers in the Linux business software space.

Enterprises I imagine are using RHEL, Ubuntu, SUSE’s SLES and Oracle Linux and probably not Debian. But that’s a guess. Where can statistics and numbers be found ?

You can look at https://joinmastodon.org/servers and then Region and see which servers are interesting for you. Besides that if you follow a lot of persons which use your language and have similar interests your local timeline can be better for you. And you can follow hashtags like for example #gardening #flowers #birds

Apart from this, the Explore option on Mastodon, no matter which servers I’ve tried very often is full of US content, but there’s no need to use the Explore when your local timeline is interesting.

Nice

Is OpenSESAME taken already ?

The web link in this post gives a 404. Correct is https://sga.codeberg.page/articles/Launcher/Launcher_for_Everything.html

I think to know that you can query some info from a mailserver to test if an address exists.

Yes, vrfy

For Postfix the default of disable_vrfy_command is : no So I assume you can try it risk free.

A Terminal Email Client As An Alternative To Gmail: The Old Dog Neomutt And Pals

A title like “A Terminal Email Client for Gmail As An Alternative To Gmail web: The Old Dog Neomutt And Pals” would be a better fit.

but I rarely see much talk about openSUSE.

Probably because most of the openSUSE users talk in German elsewhere.

There was. Last update 2019.

In the Lemmyverse for self-hosting Immich looks very popular (despite their warning : The project is under very active development. Expect bugs and changes. Do not use it as the only way to store your photos and videos!)

v1.0.3 Latest Fixes

Fixed an issue that led to opening a new Desktop App window when users clicked on the Update button of the Calendar Drawer in Mail. Uninstalling the application on Windows removes user data from the application data folders. The application is placed to a correct application category on Linux. No need to refresh the other application (Mail or Calendar) to apply changes when switching themes.

Back in the day Linux could run from a DOS partition. I think this is no longer a maintained project, but for fun historic reasons : https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/UMSDOS-HOWTO

Making people unhappy

A marketer I know has a mantra, that successful sales are all about dissatisfaction - making people aware just how their situation sucks, and then offering a way to relieve the pain.

Interesting read.

Yes. Haiku is quite light weight, small and snappy. One drawback is that it has not yet multi user implemented (everything still runs as root! But so do old DOS flavors :-) ) but imho it is fun to play with and check which software packages it has (it has several emulators packaged).
