Do you have an AMD or Nvidia? Because I’ve heard that even though it’s gotten better in the last year, Nvidias are still evidently a pain in the ASS on pretty much any Linux distro.

LifeCoffeeGaming ,

I’m on a 3060 on popOS and I’ve literally had one driver issue I had to rollback in the year I’ve been daily driving it.

InternetUser2012 ,

I tried a few other distros, and popos just works. The only minor issue I’ve had is after days of playing some games, it will start to freeze up for a second or two every second or two. If I log out and in, it’s fine again for a while.

cyborganism ,

I have an Nvidia card and it’s going great. I don’t know what people with trouble are doing to encounter problems because I’ve been using nothing but Nvidia cards since the early 2000s with Linux and I’ve never had issues.

CaptDust ,

I’ve had a 1070, 3060 and now 4080 on the same install. No problems here expect when the 3060 malfunctioned - replicated with windows. Some distros though can be nvidia horror stories because they don’t ship updates fast enough, I use arch nvidia-dkms btw

Enragedzeus ,

I’m running the latest Fedora on plasma with a 4080. My only issue is the main screen on steam looks like white noise from a tv in 1990, outside of that though I have had no issues

Only issue I’ve had beyond installing drivers is steam big picture. Gamescope does not play nice with Nvidia, everything else is great

sourquincelog , to asklemmy in What's the hardest you've ever hit your head on something or something hit yours?

At around 13, with no experience outside knowing how to ride a bike, attempted a 6 foot BMX bike jump, the kind with a near-verticle lip. After two bailed attempts, I committed to MORE SPEED on the third try. I went straight up, couldn’t position the bike forward, and fell directly backward onto my unhelmeted head and back onto packed dirt and gravel. Always kind of felt dumber, slower after that day

I went looking for the implied ‘A’ language but couldn’t find it. Did find this though:
…m.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_programming_languages

Surprising how many single letter names there are.

leopold ,

B was based on BCPL, which I assume is where the name came from.

But the actual A language would be APL, which stands for A Programming Language. It’s a few years older than B and was pretty popular, so it could’ve influenced the name.

A Programming Language

Gotta admire the wherewithal of continuing down the alphabet rather than just “Another Programming Language”, through “Yet Another Programming Language” to “Dude, Where’s My Programming Language”.

ReveredOxygen ,
@ReveredOxygen@sh.itjust.works avatar

That trend probably didn’t exist at the time

atzanteol ,

It goes back further than you may think. YACC was written in “B” originally.

LeFantome ,

It is hard for me to believe APL was popular. I forgot that Microsoft claimed to be making it for Motorola and Intel.

lordnikon ,

Ada would be a good stand in for A based on the historical context of the name.

possiblylinux127 , to selfhosted in Confused about Podman

The pi 3B+ is not powerful enough for all that. I would get a used minipc as even a old one will run circles around the old Broadcom CPU.

Podman is similar to docker except for the fact that it is daemonless and rootless by default. To expose things on lower ports you will need to battle permissions. Also podman has pods like kubernetes.

possiblylinux127 , to selfhosted in This happens after 3-4 days of running the server, then I have to restart it manually.

Does it have a Nvidia GPU? If it doesn’t then the nouveau modest does nothing.

My guess it that you are using a badly support realtek device. However I would need to see the full dmesg

KillingTimeItself , to asklemmy in What are your favorite open-source games?

minetest is a rather neat game engine, good bit of gameplay there, even more with the mods and other games you can play.

But then go and decide to use a square base... SMH.

Varyk , (edited )

The great pyramid appears to have an octagonal base.

discovery.com/…/Eight-Faces-Great-Pyramid-Giza

Not like a full equitable octagon, but four faces each split via a small concavity.

I think the attached picture is the original one an RAF pilot took at dusk when he noticed that the shadow wasn’t uniform across the face of one side.

https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/02c6ed3d-b14e-4689-af9c-fe021d576827.gif

I know the 8 sides are contested, some people say the concavity is an optical illusion.

marduk ,

I’m amazed there hasn’t been some kind of laser scan to determine this

Varyk , (edited )

Egyptologists are conservative and won’t allow any measurements of practically anything anymore.

No looking at the sphinx shafts/cavities (there’s an entrance up top), no tomb inspections, no measuring a bunch of stuff.

They even paved over a bunch of shafts for “restoration”.

madainproject.com/sphinx_tunnels_chambers

Every time you hear about a new radar scan or whatever, it took years to get through the bureaucracy.

The collected sourced pictures appear to be accurate at any rate.

lath ,

Regular ones. We don’t need to hear “Oy vey” every time we need to shoot something.

Waveform ,

One could do some photogrammetry and then analyze the 3d mesh. It only requires taking multiple photos from different angles. Might even be able to get something going from online photos, provided you match the time of day for the entire set…

brickfrog , to piracy in How to hardlink qBittorrent music after retagging with MusicBrainz Picard?

but metadata tagging

Not possible to keep seeding changed data. Changing the file contents changes the file hash / torrent hash. There is no way to keep seeding a torrent that expects different file data.

Not sure if it’s worth it but if you really wanted to keep seeding the original data then you’d need to keep a “torrent” copy of that data for qBittorrent and your own copy of the files elsewhere that you can tag and change as much as you like.

and renaming fucks the files up.

Similar solution to above, you could keep separate folders if you wanted.

But technically as long as you never change the file data (e.g. no metadata tagging) then you could keep two separate folders and have the data hardlinked between them. That way you can rename one version of them as much as you like while keeping the original filenames in the other folder.

e.g. simple example

c:\qbittorrent\torrentdata\musicstuff <-- all files/subfolders hardlinked --> c:\mymusic\blahblah

Alternatively you could do what the other commenter mentioned & rename the files within qBittorrent itself. Personally I prefer the hardlink method since that keeps the torrent client with the same expected file names it looks for, makes it easier to do things like re-install / re-seed the torrent client, switch torrent clients, etc.

LazerDickMcCheese OP ,

Yeah, that’s what I was expecting unfortunately… The problem isn’t the filenames, the problem is that the downloaded files lack any real metadata, so my media libraries ignore the files…I’m also talking about terabytes of files that I can’t afford to duplicate right now. Maybe I’ll make my own public torrents?

ShepherdPie ,

Have you tried Lidarr? This might help with finding files that are appropriately tagged versus those that aren’t. At the very least, you might consider duplicating the more hard to find stuff and ignore things like Taylor Swift and the like.

LazerDickMcCheese OP ,

Problem solved. I’m a damn idiot. I have Prowlarr, Sonarr, and Radarr set up…totally forgot about Lidarr. Thank you, sorry for the ignorance

Why the fuck are you asking an LLM to help you fix your Linux install – especially a tiny one that gets facts wrong as often as Dolphin does – when archwiki is right there?

muntedcrocodile ,
@muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee avatar

Dolphin is a dataset to fine tune models in an attempt to revert much of the alignment. The base model is mixtral 8x22b. Its way faster as it gives me the exact commands I need.

SexualPolytope , (edited ) to linux in How was your experience using Linux in college?
@SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I’ve been using exclusively Linux since high school, and now I’m doing a PhD in math. It’s always been pretty smooth. I used to have a separate Windows rig for gaming, but don’t really need it anymore, now that Proton works very well with most games. (I don’t really play AAA games, so that helps.)

Coming to the point, for academic stuff, I mostly needed to use a PDF reader (Zathura and qPdfView), LaTeX, and some computation and graphing software (mostly SageMath). I sometimes needed to use DOCX files, but LibreOffice works well for that. Most other software I need from time to time are usually Linux native.

Also, many universities provide access to O365. I’ve used it in some rare cases where I needed to provide input in some collaborative document. But in most cases, I was able to convince my friends/colleagues to use Google Docs instead.

Unless you do CAD, or some creative work, Linux should be perfect for your usecase.

WhiteBerry ,

I had a Maths Prof who used Mint so this kinda checks out

delirious_owl ,
@delirious_owl@discuss.online avatar

FreeCAD should be fine too.

pineapplelover ,

Blender and openscad works great also

pineapplelover ,

I’m surprised you use Google. I would assume people on Linux are avoiding big tech as much as possible. I personally don’t use a Google account so I just use the o365 school account to edit collab documents

SexualPolytope ,
@SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I dislike both. But since Google Docs is free, it’s easier to use everywhere and with all kinds of groups.
