Based on a thread in /r/linuxmemes, I made an interactive challenge in docker to test if you can delete files with weird characters safely

If anyone wants to be the first to try it and give me some feedback:

docker run --rm -it public.ecr.aws/p5e0b0g4/kjpgit/linux-jedi-challenge:latest

That's it. It's ubuntu 18.04 based, no tab completion :-)

What's the deal with Bryan Lunduke?

I used to watch him a couple of years ago, but it seems that stuff happened. I'll give you a few examples, but I don't see him being mentioned too much anymore, despite the fact he seemed to be quite prominent back when I watched him.

My examples: the HTTPS insecure stuff, conspiracies, his leaving social media and coming back several times, the fluctuation of paywalling his content, and more. I'm very confused as to what happened—why he's not as prominent anymore, and what happened in the interim between the time I stopped watching him (\~2018ish) to now. Can someone fill me in?

Can binaries for Linux work on different architecture or re-compilation is needed?

Linux can run on different platforms, including different ISA's. I was wondering if any binaries are used for x86 Linux, can it then run natively on arm, or Risc-V? Or does that software need to be compiled again for that specific platform?

Thank you so much in advance!

When you are addicted to noscripts in lfs

I use scratchpkg as a lfs package manager.

Long story short to avoid having to search manually for updates for packages on the internet I wrote a few noscripts to do it for me during a cron job.

May be "risky", probably lazy but it works for me lol.

4k laptop + Nvidia + Gnome 40 + Gestures support -> possible?

Hello, I really like the way 4K displays precise fonts on laptops. I'm thinking about buying a 4K thinkpad or dell precision, but it seems that to run 4K you'll need a Nvidia dGPU (there is no AMD option for 4K monitors in 15 inches).

I really want to use gnome 40 on Fedora and I was wondering how that would work if I have an Nvidia because apparently they don't support Wayland. I need my laptop to support gestures (something that Wayland supports better apparently) to be as close to my macbook pro as possible for a smooth transition from Mac to Linux.

Thoughts? Should I drop the 4K if I want gestures / Wayland support since 4K needs a dGPU to run well?
