From a networking perspective, does the Fediverse strike anyone else as "optimistic"?
Usually, when you open a website, that site might be pulling live data from somewhere, but it’s from a database on the same server. If you click a Fediverse link, and no-one else from your instance has already done so, it seems like your instance has to contact a remote site, pull the data and render it, in the same timeframe...
State of Android emulation on Linux (with viable 3D performance)?
On Windows, the go-to emulators are Bluestacks and NoxPlayer (both closed source), especially when gaming is concerned. Unfortunately they are not available on Linux, and the Nox devs’ dismissive attitude towards Linux also makes it unlikely they’ll ever make a Linux port:...
Any recommendations of countries to block from server logins?
I run my own email server, and a friend received a compromised laptop from work which resulted in a spam attack from Russia yesterday. Turtle settings saved the days with thousands of emails still in the queue when I saw the problem, however it made me realize that everyone with accounts on my server are local, do not travel,...
CS.RIN.RU's Gdrive links are down and no longer accessible. Is it just limited to that site or did google do something and screw GDrive for Piracy ?
A bit out of the loop can some one provide some info.Thanks in advance.
I'm so sick of distro hopping!
I need to just pick a distro, install it on all my laptops, and become an expert on that one. Forget the rest!...

Do I need to use a VPN when torrenting with a Seedbox (especially giga-rapid and ultra.cc)?

Jellyfin audio is always out of sync
About a month ago I set up the arr apps to download media. I was using Plex but have recently decided to try out Jellyfin. With Plex, I could easily adjust my audio offset for anything that wasn’t in sync. In Jellyfin I am not seeing this option and everything I have downloaded is out of sync by about 50-100ms....

VMware Horizon client in Wayland?
I’m old school Xorg, but want to give Wayland a go. The application that has me stymied is VMware Horizon client . It explicitly doesn’t support Wayland, but shouldn’t it work under Xwayland? How do I explicitly make it run with that, and not fail telling me Wayland isn’t supported?

Why is it usually advised to power off your computer to have Bluetooth work again if it stopped working after a kernel update?
Often with a Linux kernel update, or even after a first install of Linux in place of Windows, Bluetooth stops working and the advice is usually to just power off your computer, wait a bit, and then turn it on again. Bluetooth then miraculously works again....
Getting Hybrid Graphics working *better* with Manjaro (GNOME 44, X11) Enabling HDMI on nvidia laptops
The most annoying thing about using Linux on my laptop is that the HDMI doesn’t work out of the box because by default, “hybrid graphics” means your nVidia GPU won’t be turned on until it’s told to run a single program using PRIME offloading....
Windows+Mint Dual Boot: Food boot record after replacing the disk that had the boot record?
I had multiple disks in my PC, one with Windows and one with Linux. The drive with Linux had the boot record I guess; I removed and replaced that one with a new disk and again installed Linux on it (so the Windows disk has been the same the while time), but I can no longer log into Windows while this new disk is installed and...

"You should migrate to Linux"
Dual-booting Windows 11 and Fedora 38. Gaming on Win 11 is, as expected, most times great. I want to migrate to Fedora and use it as a daily driver, and while it does a damn good job at doing just that, it’s disturbingly aweful at gaming. I’ve installed Steam and I set out to try a couple of games to see what it would...
How do you containerize stuff you install from source in a way that you can completely remove later?
I’m doing a bunch of AI stuff that needs compiling to try various unrelated apps. I’m making a mess of config files and extras. I’ve been using distrobox and conda. How could I do this better? Chroot? Different user logins for extra home directories? Groups? Most of the packages need access to CUDA and localhost. I would...

What are some physics-based arguments against hard determinism?
I don’t believe free will is real. I’m not a deep physics person (and relatively bad at math), but with my undergrad understanding of chemistry, classical mechanics, and electromagnetism, it seems most rational that we are creatures entirely controlled by our environments and what we ingest and inhale....

What are your thoughts on bots and people posting only news articles on lemmy?
As the service grows, I have noticed more and more people and bots popping up, only posting links to a news article and that’s that. Usually there is no post, no summary and nothing from the OP but the link....
help: var folder on ubuntu won't stop filling up
I’ve had an Ubuntu 22.04 setup going for around a year, and over that year I’ve had to increase the size of the partition holding my /var folder multiple times. I’m now up to 20GB and again running into problems, mainly installing new apps, because that partition is again nearly full. I’ve used commands sudo apt clean...
