Anyone experience with switching from Radeon to AMDgpu driver? I am contemplating a switch here. I am using an AMD APU A8-7600 with X11 and XFCE desktop. Am also using KMS for booting. Only very sometimes I paly a game. I do watch a lot of

I adore sad songs. I cannot really explain why, if you don't understand. My girlfriend doesn't get sad songs, and I just cannot explain it to her. When I am happy, sad songs can make me sad, and I don't want to hear them. But

You will have to ask the Plasma people :) One reason might be that it is written in Perl - GTK. Mageia Control goes way back to probably 1999. I don't understand why other distro's haven't picked it up. Most distro's ha

My server needs are mostly home server, so my experience is mostly from that. I run a webserver with Apache/PHP/MySQL. I run Dovecot and Postfix. MPD even as a music player daemon. It does use systemd, but as usual, I assume it is

In case anyone wonders, why still Mageia (the old Mandrake/Mandriva)? There are still things in this distro, that others haven't picked up that well on. The Mageia Control Center can do basically anything you would want. It can de

When you are using 3G/4G, and not connected to Wifi, your phone still checks all the Wifi accesspoints continuously. When you know for yourself you don't connect to an accesspoint on that location, there is no point in having your

The funny thing is that this tablet was/is an Intel tablet. A lot of parts will probably follow laptop standards. The problems in this case were a bit diverse. I think an investor or manufacturere pulling out was the biggest reason.

If you still want a Jolla tablet, there is an indie project started. They had all the blueprints and designs of the original tablet device. Licensing of Sailfish OS should have been taken care of. The first step is to bring out a device wit

Thank you. I will look at this for some inspiration.

Which app is it? And do you have the source and Makefiles available? I would really love to see that, and maybe even get going there. I am still in doubt if I should learn Qt or Python.

Yes, if common sense was common, it would be common sense :). In my "career" of chess, I still learn things after 12 years. This year my focus is to not downtalk myself before a game against a strong opponent. It is part of my per

Did you try Claws Mail for email? I have been using it for years and it is the best thing I ever used. Nothing comes close. There is also Sypheed, of which Claws is a fork. I consider both a 100 times better than Thunderbird.

What is a good thing is keeping on top of updates for WordPress Core, plugins and themes. You could decide to not upgrade when a new major version comes out, like 4.8.0, but wait till there is a 4.8.1. Often there is a rush to pack new feat

Wiretapping your own phone should be legal. The concern is how it got stolen... It is illegal to leave your car running while walking into a shop and coming back a minute later. Not sure about a good English translation, but you are urging

Was there a reason you went with NVidia hardware and closed source drivers? Did you really need graphic horsepower? In my experience the easiest solution is AMD hardware with open source drivers. They just always work. It is just that if yo

That is mostly just Amsterdam. In the rest of the Netherlands this behaviour is being frowned upon. And it is often not the Dutch people. Half the people in Amsterdam is tourists.

The fact is, after releasing IE6 around the year 2000, MS dissolved the IE team. Only around 2006 a new team was formed to create IE7 (which wasn't much better). Conspiracy mixed with facts is... At the end of the nineties, Netscape wa

Not a direct answer to your question, but I see many people running past my house and balkony, since there is a nice walkway next to my house. I see them do it in many different ways, some of which are good, some of which are really bad. Ma

I don't remember Postgres having much traction around 2000 or before. Since there was "always" MySQL available, Postgres wasn't in need of development, for most people MySQL was sufficient. If MySQL had been less open, P

Why call it a honor culture? That almost sounds positive. Here (Netherlands) it is often labelled as shame culture, where people do everything to avoid shame or put it under the carpet.

It seemed like an interesting way to engage tinkerers/hackers and have people come up with new ideas. But it didn't take off really much. There is only a small community, and they worked years on a half-decent keyboard. For the re

I would say this is quite reasonable. Since all developers regard this project as a hobby, they work on what interests them. And that is MacOS and Linux builds. They don't say Windows will never be supported. Just that nobody stepped u
