Word of warning on “Safe removal” of external harddrives: You really want to click “Eject” or “Safe removal” every time before unplugging. This is much more important than on Windows, due to the way Linux handles buffers and caching. A copy operation will be “finished” but still live in the write-cache and not securely written to disk.

NTFS is no problem (But as mentioned earlier in the thread the permission system is different). I usually format all my external devices with NTFS so they’ll work on both Linux and Windows machines without any fuss.

Input devices (including tablets) is one of the 3 current overarching Goals of the KDE project, so now might be a good time to get involved with testing.

If you’re on KDE there is kdotool , kdotool - a xdotool clone for KDE Wayland that works in conjunction with ydotool

The main one is KiCAD (electronics design).

They have a good article on the challenges they’re facing on Wayland, worth a read https://www.kicad.org/blog/2025/06/KiCad-and-Wayland-Support/

Yes now you can. But not initially. The old cube effect was removed and later re-implement

Thanks for sharing! TIL about autofs. Now I’m curious to try NFS again.

What’s the failure mode if the NFS happens to be offline when PBS initiates a backup? Does PNS try to backup anyway? What if the NFS is offline while PBS boots?

EDIT: What was the reason for bind mounting the NFS share via the host to the container, and NFS mounting from NAS to host?
I did the NFS-mount directly in the PBS. (But I am running my PBS as a VM, so had to do it that way)

I run PBS as a virtual machine on Proxmox, with a dedicated physical harddrive passed through to PBS for the data.

While this protects from software failures of my VMs, it does not protect from catastrophic hardware failure. In theory I should be able to take the dedicated harddrive out and put it in any other system running a fresh PBS, but I have not tested this.

I tried running the same PBS with an external NFS share, but had speed and stability issue, mainly due to the hardware of the NFS host. And I wasn’t aware of autofs at the time, so the NFS share stayed disconnected

For those who didn’t know: tldr is an actual command:

The tldr pages are a community effort to simplify the beloved man pages with practical examples.

Can recommend, Dolphin makes life on windows slightly more tolerable. Kate for Windows is also amazing

On the other hand, seeing this symbol more and more on other random videos outside that bubble does give a very nice sense of “I am not alone”. It does more for users to find eachother than it does damage to big corpos.

But choice of the symbol itself is questionable… Why use a big tech symbol to protest big tech? -__- And not just any big tech, but super evil 90s monopolistic giant Microsoft

There’s a nice cartoon in this thread we’re clippy is if he could have, he would have harvest all your data.
