Alright everyone, let’s get this party started. The title asks the question pretty well. What is the main use of your Linux install? Is it gaming, programming, just to dump windows etc…

Let’s have some fun everyone.

Hey everyone, just wanted to touch base with y’all. I’m really a little worried about our community.

As of this writing we have 295 members, but we only have 11 posts, including this one. We really need to get some quality posting going on here.

So this is what I was thinking, let’s start a mega thread of conversations around Linux in general. I would like to see what we can get going here. Also please talk to your friends that are on here and invite them to the group.

I know a lot of us, myself included, tend to just lurk until something pops up for us to interact with. I’m asking everyone here to help interact with our community. We aren’t just a help desk here, we can also have fun conversations.

For tonight my household is having lasagna.

This is a delicious pizza. It’s got homemade Italian pork sausage, pepperoni, green peppers and bacon.

Basically a pork lovers pizza with freshly chopped green peppers. I put mozzarella cheese on the pizza sauce. Chopped up some fresh green pepper, then the pepperoni and sausage followed by Colby jack cheese and bacon bits. Bake for 18 minutes at 450 degrees (F). I am also including the recipe for the crust below.

1 cup hot water (105-110 degrees F)

1 TBSP active yeast (not rapid rise)

1 TBSP granulated white sugar

3 -3 1/2 cups all purpose flour ( do not use self rising)

1 TBSP olive oil ( you can use vegetable oil if you want)

1 tsp salt

In a large mixing bowl add yeast and sugar then add water. Allow yeast to activate, it will look foamy, about 5 to 10 mins. Add oil salt and flour, mix with a spoon until a lightly firm dough all forms. Use hands to knead the ball until not sticky, add flour if needed. You can use right away or if you want you can let it rise 10 to 20 minutes. Put flour on you counter top and press out by hand until almost the size of your pan. Transfer to baking pan stretching to the correct size. Add sauce and toppings.

This will make 2 thin crust pizzas or 1 hand tossed/thin pan crust pizza.

Let sit 5 minutes after coming out of oven, cut and enjoy.

This is actually a recipe from bettycrocker.com. However I usually make my own “pie crust” with flour, eggs, baking powder, milk and seasonings. I also use more cheese than the recipe actually calls for.

Everyone loves this meal. 30 minute comfort food.

Inn B love the app, been using it since the original beta came out on test flight.

My feature request is to either mark everything in the inbox as read, or have it automatically moved to the all section in the inbox automatically after reading and closing the inbox to go back to the main feed.

In the image below, none of these comments need replying to by me from my comment, but to clear them I have to login into Lemmy from my computer to mark them as such.

Before anyone asks why not use the phone browser, for some reason I can’t login to Lemmy on any of my phones mobile browsers. This has been brought to the attention of Lemmy devs via bug report.

Hi all, I really appreciate the number of member we have here at linuxscripts, and we have had a few posts besides my own on here.

What I would really like is for some of you to post things if you have them, and of course let others know about our existence.

You don’t have to post content to o be a member here, but please help contribute in any manner you can. I am opening the community up to more content today allowing for memes and crossposts of news surrounding Linux. If you cross post please denote that in your post so others know. I do ask that you don’t cross post unsolved help posts unless it is your own. However, if you get a solution to your problem and it’s not on here please let me know so it can be locked.

Thanks everyone.

Something I’ve been meaning to post about, it seems in the app you can’t click on !community@instance.name and be taken there.

For example !linuxscripts@lemmy.zip is not clickable in the app but it is clickable through a regular browser. Is there a way to add this functionality to Memmy?

Thanks

This is a database script i made to trigger when database events trigger a database lockup.

# Make sure to change your database info and what instance of DB you are using (i.e. sqlite3, mysql, postgres etc...)
# This script will rotate for a total of 5 logs so you can compare previous errors with current one without taking unnecessary space

# There's no strict requirement to place it in the root directory of the server, but you have some options for where to put it:

# Root Directory: Placing the script in the root directory could work, but it's generally not recommended to clutter the root directory
# with scripts. It's better to create a specific directory for your application and put the script there.

# Custom Directory: Create a specific directory for your application, and place the script there. 
# For example, you could create a directory called "my_app" or "database_error_logger" and place the script in that directory.

# Scripts Directory: Some servers have a designated directory for executable scripts. 
# You might check if your server has a "scripts" directory where you can place your script.

# Regardless of the location, it's essential to consider file permissions. 
# Ensure that the script has the necessary permissions to execute. You may need to use the chmod command to set the appropriate 
# permissions, depending on your server's configuration.

# Lastly, consider setting up a virtual environment for your Python script to isolate dependencies and avoid conflicts with other 
# applications on the server. This can help ensure that the required Python libraries are installed locally for your script
# without interfering with system-wide packages.    

# This script was created by Edward Freeman and is covered under GPL V3. You can modify this script as you need
# However, you must retain this GPL V3 standard, and leave credit where credit is due to the original author.
