So, from what i’ve got from the comments; instead of doing swap shenanigans except in RAM like ZRAM (which slows it down), it just compresses content to a separate portion of RAM and points there?

Void.

Shouldn’t you replace “x11-user” with your username?

If you still can’t get it to work, take a look here and try the startx comand on a tty first (a display-mamager is yet another layer of complexity and potential blockers). If you get permission errors, try adding your user to the video group.

If you want to do it manually (without some limitations of startx), take a look at sx.

Anything that can host markdown files.

Good that you know what a different biological getup than yours can and can’t do.

Can’t breathe with masks. Some people just have this.

GoboLinux. It does the software-as-directory thing, like MacOS.

New rules for what counts as CVE.

So it emulates system calls?

Fake. Most windows applications are not open source.

code slop

I go the other way: my mails live on the filesystem.

Creating a (usable) backup of a soon failing data carrier should be legal either way. Yeah, a lot of countries have stupid laws there, but as long as you don’t share the data on the internet, you should be fine.

Also to note: to legally watch a DVD, you require either Windows or MacOS, with a supported (proprietary) player software, in most jurisdictions. So, there, no legal DVD for Linux (or Haiku, Android), laws are stupid. And instead of cracking it on each watch, better to just do it once.

dd is neither the best nor a suitable method (dd is a scalpel not a shovel, use cp or cat). But optical media are tricky either way, with purposedly placed reading errors and stuff. redumper was made for a disc preservation initiative. Does a good job so far for me, but best to use old SATA drives with it. Those between 2010 and 2015 (pre-DRM-crackdown) also don’t need libredrive.

Them that don’t pull in half a Gigabyte in dependencies. That’s all zombie code that waits to be exploited.

Dillo.

You can’t collect less data than none and you can’t be more secure than entirely passive (no js-support).

Rhine is a river (wm), lol.

Can we please keep naming river wms after irl rivers?
