Speedtest-cli multiple servers

I installed the Speedtest-cli but I get consistently low speeds. 50Mbps vs 250Mbs via the browser.

Reached out to Ookla and they came back with this reply: "Speedtest cli uses a single server to test the internet speed of the client.
The portal uses more than one server to test the internet speed of the client."

Imo this would defeat the purpose. Or am I missing the usecase?

Building sway-borders in gentoo?

I fucking love this fork but I can't build it on gentoo. It's one of the few things my system is missing, and something sway needs to add.

While trying to build [sway-borders from github](https://github.com/fluix-dev/sway-borders), it fails on my gentoo system running the stable branch's wlroots 12.0 package.

meson build says:

Neither a subproject directory nor a wlroots.wrap file was found.

Subproject wlroots is buildable: NO (disabling)

Run-time dependency wlroots found: YES 0.12.0

WARNING: Project targeting '>=0.53.0' but tried to use feature introduced in '0.54.0': internal arg in dep.get_variable.

WARNING: pkgconfig variable 'have_xwayland' not defined for dependency wlroots.
...
WARNING: pkgconfig variable 'have_elogind' not defined for dependency wlroots.

Then the ninja -C build fails:

undefined reference to `wlr_xdg_foreign_registry_create'

... `wlr_xdg_foreign_v1_create'

... `wlr_xdg_foreign_v2_create'

... `wlr_layer_surface_v1_for_each_popup_surface'

... `wlr_xdg_surface_for_each_popup_surface'

I compiled wlroots from github, but ninja -C build doesn't search for the headers in

/usr/local/include/wlr/

to link.

Can I use meson to fix this?
Can I use pkg-config to fix this?
Can I find a version of this fork that works with 12.0?

is there a distro that comes with only posix compliant shell and no bash?

I use zsh and never touch bash. I can live without bash noscripts since most of them would work fine with /bin/sh anyway. I would really love a distro where the package manager or another core part of the system doesn't depend on bash so I don't have to have it installed at all times even if I never use it.

Rebuilding a "software development stack"

I'm the admin on for a small workstation/cluster used by my research group which manages it's software using Environment modules. I've just finished compiling a sequence of dependant software (e.g. gcc 9 -> cuda -> open-mpi -> FFTW) and am about to start the process again using a different starting compiler (e.g. intel compilers -> cuda -> ...).

I'm writing a BASH noscript to automate this process, but it's lead me to wonder how this scenario is typically handled?

I'm working in computational physics and have done a decent amount of software development for simulation packages in my particular niche. But I've no formal software development training. It be great if some could give/point me towards a high level overview so I could incorporate some relevant terms into my "Google-fu".

EDIT: To clarify, I'm wondering if it's typical to use BASH noscripts, make, or some other tool all together? Is there even a standard practice?

Are there any Red Hat System Administration I (RH124) certified folks here?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for some solid study material for the Red Hat System Administration I (RH124)?

I have VERY little knowledge Linux and I am just looking to expand my career in IT with Linux.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Why is systemd disliked?

Note: I know there was already a post about this. It’s a few years old, so I wanted to ask again and see if anyone’s opinions changed.

A lot of people don’t like systemd, saying it does too much stuff, does more than it should, and saying it goes against the UNIX philosophy. I don’t really find the last point valid since Linux isn’t UNIX, but I mean whatever you want to believe I guess.

Cannot Boot Linux after Optee

Hi,

I'm working on the ZC702 board and trying to boot Linux and Optee. My boot flow is:

FSBL--->U-Boot--->OP-TEE--->Linux

Although Optee is booted successfully, Linux hangs on the 'zynq_early_slcr_init' function at booting.

Probably Op-tee OS locking down access the SLCR. So When Linux accesses SLCR, the system crashes.

How can I solve this problem?

Enforcement of AGPL

Lets say i write an AGPL program. If someone uses it in their website they have to also license their code AGPL, but unless its an obvious big modification, how do i know the code they released is the one they are actually using in the website ?

GNOME Extensions Rebooted: Porting your existing shell extensions to GNOME 40

This isn't on Planet GNOME yet, so I'm putting this out there as a PSA. If you could pass this along to your favorite extension author that would be great! GNOME 40 is almost upon on us and the extensions rebooted initiative continues apace. Here is the latest update - and hopefully we can get more extensions ported before GNOME 40 lands on distros.

Linux certifications

I'm pursuing a career in IT and want to get a Linux certification(s) which one(s) should I consider. Currently I'm taking a Cisco course on Linux that offers a coupon for the LPI exam after completion. Is this a good start?
