Molten_Moron,

Since they changed to Jagex accounts, you can’t use Runelite directly anymore.

I use this launcher now. It lets you login to your Jagex account, then choose to play in either Runelite or the official client.

Molten_Moron,

Yes, this is exactly what I did when they forced the change a while back.

It’s actually kinda nice because it’s only one login now and easy to switch between them.

Molten_Moron,

Jagex’s help site links to this github which is a collection of working Linux projects, including bolt.

It’s not perfect, but I consider it as Jagex saying it’s fine.

Molten_Moron,

The ol’ cosmic bit flip

Molten_Moron,

I believe their point is that their language is left to right, so it just makes sense to them to have the tabs structure left to right as well.

I happen to share this sentiment, but can understand why some people may like it different.

Molten_Moron,

For those that like the status bar dd provides, I highly recommend pv

pv diskimage.iso > /dev/usb

Molten_Moron,

I’ve got ProtonVPN set up through wireguard on my system and it works great. Only caveat is that you have to set up multiple profiles if you want different locations, secure core, etc. Not a big deal in my use case, but something to consider.

    Molten_Moron,

    OpenCore is what I used on my 2009 MBP to bring it all the way to Ventura

    Molten_Moron,

    Terminal emulator with cloud sign-in. Ah yes, that’s exactly where I should be entering my root password. Genius.

    Pretty sure this is just malware with extra steps.

    Molten_Moron,

    Nextcloud uses webDAV, so it definitely can be mounted as a network drive (this is how I primarily use it, and it works well).

    Question about Tails OS

    Hey folks I’ve been a Fedora workstation user for some time now and love the experience. I should have switched from Windows to Linux sooner. I have a small question today. I bought a Steam deck a while back for gaming on the go. Nice device that gives me tons of fun. I would like to use the little handheld as a backup device...

    Molten_Moron,

    Looks like this has already been answered, but I’m curious about why you’ve chosen Tails for this task? Is there something about your work/other tasks that requires the extra security and anonymity?

    Kali (while known for pen-testing) is an excellent option here. Much more feature packed than Tails, with the built-in ability to create persistence on a live drive, too. I carry one of these with me all the time.

    Or, you could fully install a distro to a USB drive. Then you could take Fedora with you, and have an environment you’re familiar with.

    I say all this as a huge fan of Tails (I also keep a USB of Tails always ready). Just offering some other options that may not have crossed your mind.

    Molten_Moron,

    Absolutely agreed, which is another reason they may not like Tails, either. It doesn’t exactly have the friendliest reputation among businesses.

    Molten_Moron,

    Why not?

    It’s a well-maintained, Debian-based distro with several DEs to choose from and live USB persistence available out of the box.

    Seems to fit OP’s needs pretty spot on.

    Molten_Moron,

    Yes, there are plenty of other options. No one is going to dispute that.

    But Kali is a fine distro, even for regular users.

    • Rolling release keeps things up to date
    • Popular means plenty of troubleshooting info
    • Documentation is excellent
    • Debian-based means the core is stable and well-tested
    • Designed specifically with USB-based use in mind (for OP)

    Don’t discount it just because “edgy haxor distro xD”. It’s a solid Linux and popular for a reason.

    Damn Small Linux 2024 (www.damnsmalllinux.org)

    The New DSL 2024 has been reborn as a compact Linux distribution tailored for low-spec x86 computers. It packs a lot of applications into a small package. All the applications are chosen for their functionality, small size, and low dependencies. DSL 2024 also has many text-based applications that make it handy to use in a term...

    Molten_Moron,

    From the announcement on the site:

    Unlike the original DSL, this version has apt fully enabled

    Molten_Moron,

    That sounds really odd; Win 10 should be way more intensive than Mint with XFCE. Something else seems out of wack then.

    What would be the best way for me to recover data from my old laptop's hard drive, which seems to have a bad superblock?

    I got an external hard drive enclosure for the purpose of recovering some of the files from my old laptops hard drive. The hard drive and all of it’s partitions show up in both disks and gparted but it wont mount. When I tried to mount it manually, it gave the error message stating that it can’t read the superblock. I’ve...

    Molten_Moron,

    As others have said, first make a full copy of the disk so you’re not working on a failing drive.

    Then, I highly recommend DDRescue
