    [ubuntu] Re: Windows don't get focus as they should.

    As they should? Or as you think they should? GUIs on Unix existed 10+ yrs before MS-Windows, so there was a history of how a mouse and windows should behave well before MSFT did anything in a GUI....

    Do you mean Linux Mint? If so, just use the same program. https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2021/12/install-linux-mint-sticky-notes-app-ubuntu

  3. Re: Error when running ansible-playbook from ubuntu20.04 ansible server to ubuntu24.0

    Ansible constantly changes and deprecates features while adding new all-the-time.

    BTW, would really help if you posted terminal output inside forum code-tags for readability. Ansible output is...

    Yes. This is possible. There are resize scripts in these forums. I've posted mine a few times over the decades. The move/relocate/output location is something you'll need to create in a custom...

    [ubuntu] Re: New Laptop?

    Last night I looked for a new laptop for myself on eBay. Found a number of 11-th Gen Core i5 13.3 inch Dells for less than $300. The ones I was considering were around $220. Just sayin'. It is...

    Agreed. The general idea was for back of napkin thoughts. Always get the details before a purchase.

    The specific CPU models matter, but so does the motherboard, RAM, GPU, environment, and other...
  8. Sticky:Poll: Re: Share with us your Noble Numbat installation/Upgrade Experience

    Just installed 24.04 Server. LVM is there and it is possible to customize through the installer. I even guessed how to setup a static IP on the first attempt, though that screen in the installer...

    Any standard network protocol works inside VMs, assuming you choose normal, bridged, networking. If you choose host-only or NAT, then the guest can access outbound, but not the opposite. That's a...

    Re: curlftpfs

    Plain FTP can be fast, but with any CPU made the last 15 yrs, sftp, sshfs, NFS, are very fast. The only time I use Samba is for MS-Windows. Ghost Commander on Android supports sftp or there are...

    Don't confuse encoding with the file container. ogg is a file container. Vorbis is an encoding. Same for opus - it is an encoding.

    mka, ogg, mpa, mp3 are file containers.

    Re: curlftpfs

    Nobody should be using plain FTP since 2002. Use a better protocol.

    Heck, use sshfs instead. Combined with ssh-keys, it is seamless, assuming you won't use NFS.


    mkdir ~/mount-point
    sshfs ...

    For fast transcoding, I have the Ryzen iGPU doing it. h.264 or h.265 - both take the same time. The CPU is barely touched. Jellyfin can trancode on the fly if you configure it. My Pi4 hates VP9. ...

    No way would I place jellyfin directly on the internet. Behind a VPN, fine. Behind an ssh-socks proxy, fine. Never on the internet.

    Jellyfin is too complex and has the DotNet bloat. I'm willing...

    I build new desktops every 5-10 yrs and use them until they are worth $50 ... by that point, the case is the most useful part. Definitely not the motherboard, CPU, RAM, nor GPU. Still, the HDDs can...

    I'd copy the HOME over and perhaps some system configs from /etc/ would be selectively merged, then I'd use a list of installed 22.04 packaged software (this can be created lots of different ways)...
