bionicjoey , to linux in Would being a Linux "power user" increase my chances of getting a job in IT/tech?

I’ve hired for junior positions on a sysadmin team and Linux as a hobby is the number 1 thing I look for. It moves your resume to the top of the stack.

PrivateNoob OP ,

The AUR wiki never fails to amaze.

UTJD16 , to coffee in brewing @ work?

I set up a coffee station in my office and it has made working in the office much more enjoyable! I have a cheap gooseneck kettle and 1zpresso KMax hand grinder, along with a scale and carafe. My office mate and I bring various beans from roasters around town or when we travel. We have various methods for brewing to choose from: V60 size 02, Hario Switch size 03, Orea v3 (with negotiator option for no bypass), and an AeroPress.

Wistful , (edited ) to asklemmy in Where to find reliable reviews/ratings for movies?
@Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

What does reliable mean? You want the crowd’s rating of the movie to align with yours, which is pretty much impossible. I find Letterboxd ratings to be more sensible than IMDB’s, so that is what I use. But I also read a few positive and a few negative reviews to get a better idea.

There is a site called Flickmetrix which has advanced filters and also an average ratings (critics, metacritic, IMDB, Letterboxd). Maybe that would be helpful to you…

lurch , to linux in Is there a data recovery tool for Linux to recover a Minecraft world?

This won’t help you right now, but in the future: If you don’t have time to setup some super good backup, just get a cheap TB USB stick and sudo tar --one-file-system your partition root directories onto it.

tar has a test option, so you can detect if the USB stick is maybe broken.

This stores everything but some boot stuff, which can usually be restored with booting some live medium (like the install medium you used) and going into a chroot. Almost all live mediums have tar, chroot and can mount your USB stick, so you can restore your stuff.

Despite some people being afraid the USB may lose the data, it takes several years for it to do so. Enough for home PC backups.

PrivateNoob OP ,

Hmm this sounds like a great idea, although I was already planning to get a new nvme SSD, but good to know options like these exists.

If it’s not a cheap knock off USB stick, then yea it’s probably more than enough.

cmnybo ,

Make sure you get the flash drive from a reputable seller. Sites like amazon have lots of fakes that are actually a much lower capacity than they report.

Another option is a SSD and external enclosure.

Unaware status-seeking behavior. Almost everyone does it.

How is there not a Single mention of celeste? It is one of the few things that can keep me focussed for hours.

MonkderVierte , to linux in What is something you want to use, yet are NOT using?

My TV. *arr stilll not set up and the gaming rig is still in its planning phase.

HStone32 , to linuxmemes in Best choice

As someone who is admittedly addicted to windows hate juice, can we start getting more memes extolling the virtues of Linux/Unix, and fewer memes about windows being bad? We could be talking about Unix’s amazing shell environment, or its devotion to text-streams as an interface. Complaining about Windows just makes us look like we aren’t confident in our decisions to use Linux.

SkaveRat , to android in PSA: Grayjay is really good

Even I tried it at release, it wasn’t usable when you had a lot of subscriptions. Gave up after a couple weeks of trying it

Did they manage to fix this?

Cowbee , to asklemmy in What is the current state of Lemmy?

It’s stable and largely fun, especially more active but niche communities.

Stovetop , to til in TIL kobolds in Japan are dog-people because of a mistranslation in a copy of AD&D in the 80s

I don’t know if the “reptilian” description applies to all Western media. I think it might just be D&D, as I was always used to seeing dog-like Kobolds in EverQuest and rat-like Kobolds in World of Warcraft.

CitizenKong ,

In Germanic folklore, kobolds just look like small people that are often also depicted as being green and having large ears. They are spirits of the home and sometimes benevolent and sometimes mischievous.

also the spirits of mines that are sometimes benevolent and sometimes malevolent
cobalt is named after them because it was a toxic ore seen as a contaminant that caused injury and death to miners

@boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net avatar

You know Minecraft works natively on Linux? Except if you run the more optimized, faster “Bedrock” version, which for very important Microsoft reasons is Windows-only. it is not

Only my stuff so far.

For recovery you can use testdisk. Shutdown the PC as fast as possible. Dont open programs! Dont play games!

On SSDs the data will quickly be overwritten otherwise.

Make a Clonezilla live usb and use that for recovery

dukatos ,

Bedrock also runs under Linux. At least, it did 6 months ago, when I tried…

boredsquirrel ,
@boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net avatar

Interesting didnt know that.

Wait, or is this the mobile version which runs through an Android container? Emulator?

dukatos ,

Yes

boredsquirrel ,
@boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net avatar

So not native on Linux. Is the Android version even usable?

boredsquirrel ,
@boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net avatar

How is it today? I find it crazy that not even the most rewarding game of the world couldnt be fully rewritten in a faster language.

@independantiste@sh.itjust.works avatar

It semi does, iirc it’s a port of the Android version, which probably works because android uses a Linux kernel

palordrolap ,

It was (and may still be) possible to make an older version of Pocket Edition run on Linux through unofficial shenanigans, but the official launcher says "Not playable on this device".

minecraft.net also explicitly says: "Minecraft: Java Edition runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux; Minecraft: Bedrock Edition runs on Windows. Deluxe Collection content only runs on Minecraft: Bedrock Edition on Windows."

Other unofficial shenanigans that may or may not work include but are not limited to: Running under a VM, running under something like Wine.

So, yes, technically it runs, but Microsoft are pretty clear that it's not supposed to.

PrivateNoob OP ,

Well I actually use native Minecraft too, if the Prism Launcher actually creates native instances by default. Luckily I have realised that there is probably a saved version of my world on a cloud storage, but I will def try testdisk out! Thank you.
