What are good harddrives to use with servers in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

At home I use two Toshiba MG09ACA18TE's and they work like a charm. I've bought them at around US$20/TB and it was the best price/TB offer at that time.

At work we use Exos X18's and Exos X20's without any problem at all.

I hope it's not the start of the decline of the Xperia 5 series.

Instance admins, how much does it cost you to run your instance? How much does that represent per active user? in c/[email protected]

wired.bluemarch.art runs on the cheapest Hetzner VPS, so €4.18 per month plus yearly domain cost. Right now there is only one active user on this instance so the price for an active user is a bit high, but I don't really care because I would pay for a VPS even when I don't run a Lemmy instance on it.

PSA: How to install Brother HL-L5210DW printer under Fedora 40 using IPP-over-USB in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

This method seems to not work reliably with Brother-HL-L2370DN-series printers right now. At least after a quick search I've found a bug report about an infinite loop problem in certain circumstances and sadly with my HL-L2372DN I was unable to print at all (infinite loop with occasional ! USB[0]: zero-size read error; CUPS 2.4.10 and ipp-usb 0.9.27).

For Brother HL-L2372DN it is possible to use Gutenprint with the supplied Generic PCL 6 Printer wide margin printer driver but two sided printing is quirky sometimes if you print odd number of pages.

Anyway, thanks for your post!

GIMP 3.0 Enters String Freeze, Inching Closer To Release (www.phoronix.com)
 

GIMP 3.0 has been more than one decade in the making as the port from GTK2 to GTK3, also transitioning away from Python 2 to Python 3 support, and a wealth of other improvements from the UI to lower down into enhancing this open-source Photoshop alternative.

The GIMP project announced on X/Twitter today that they have entered the string freeze for this much anticipated release.

What distro do you use for your servers? in c/[email protected]

Debian with Docker containers works well for my needs.

Gentoo Linux was one of the last few Linux distributions continuing to maintain Itanium (IA-64) architecture builds but that is now being phased out for those discontinued Intel processors.

Introducing Raspberry Pi Pico 2 (www.raspberrypi.com)
 

We’re happy to announce the launch of Raspberry Pi Pico 2, our second-generation microcontroller board, built on RP2350: a new high-performance, secure microcontroller designed here at Raspberry Pi.

With a higher core clock speed, twice the memory, more powerful Arm cores, new security features, and upgraded interfacing capabilities, Pico 2 delivers a significant performance and feature uplift, while retaining hardware and software compatibility with earlier members of the Pico series.

Pico 2 is on sale now, priced at $5.
