What do you use to scan for devices on a network on #linux? I used Advanced IP Scanner on #Windows in the past.
I'm sure this is going to be something fairly obvious.

@nprofile…wm95 I’ll wait for the review then to get your more detailed thoughts on it.

@nprofile…wm95 which one did you go for? I’ve got my eye on the “Stellaris Slim 15 - AMD”

Just paid €7 for a pint at my local. I remember when it was less than €6 #ireland #guinness

@nprofile…57rm @nprofile…0tvd The same here, then I saw the light. I have been reborn into vim

@nprofile…7wld I’m glad I’m not the only one who was thinking of it in terms of boolean logic.

I’m embarrassed to admit how long it took me to realise that `if` and `of` in `dd` are `input file` and `output file`. It makes complete sense, it just never occurred to me until recently while watching someone mention it on YouTube.

@nprofile…wm95 this reminded my of a section of lyrics from a song by a Brazilian artist living in the US. The song is called, “Life of an immigrant”
“Funny, Here I fill out forms and say I'm latin or
sumn
But then when I'm back in Brazil I don't feel latin enough”

@nprofile…sr9k @nprofile…dpz3 Thank you for adding Ireland! Is there any chance it could have an English option as well? Most people here don’t speak or understand Irish (Gaelic).

#Instagram is now making you wait and watch ads in your home feed before you can continue scrolling. You can get rid of the ads for €8 a month!
Please boost to spread this, it’s ridiculous! Not entirely unsurprising though.

@npub1pta…55nl I saw that on the Arch wiki but it didn’t work for some reason — I don’t remember the error.
I think there may have been some corrupt packages (pacman mentioned that as a possible cause). I ended up doing a bunch of different things and this (I think) is what solved it. Someone on Reddit shared it after they had the same issue.

@npub1pta…55nl `error: gperftools: signature from "Balló György <bgyorgy@archlinux.org>" is unknown trust`
This was the general format with the name/email changing. This was the only one I was able to get from my browser search history.

Is anyone else having issues with PGP signatures on #archlinux today? I get an error message when trying anything with yay/pacman. Yes, I have tried refreshing the key ring.

Is it possible to have #GitHub or #codeberg verification on #mastodon? Ideally without having to link to a specific repo. I think I had it working on GitHub when I was on mastodon.social but it doesn’t seem to work for me now.
