jntesteves , in How to create a sandbox folder, restricting write access to all files contained in it to that folder itself?
@jntesteves@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve created a tool for similar of use-cases: https://codeberg.org/contr/contr
You could run your workload inside, say, an alpine container:

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">cd path/to/evil/dir
</span><span style="color:#323232;">contr alpine
</span><span style="color:#323232;">❯ # inside container, run dangerous program
</span><span style="color:#323232;">❯ ./dangerous_program
</span>

If the program needs extra dependencies, you’ll have to write a Containerfile and build an image with the dependencies installed – there’s an example in the repository. Just installing the dependencies at runtime inside the container is also an option, but all changes inside the container are lost on exit.

Really cool thanks for the share.

curioushom , in a proposal to add opt-out telemetry in fedora is being discussed on fedora forums

gnome-initial-setup will default to displaying the toggle as enabled, even though the underlying setting will initially be disabled. (The underlying setting will not actually be enabled until the user finishes the privacy page, to ensure users have the opportunity to disable the setting before any data is uploaded.)

I see what they’re saying here and how they’re trying to give users options for users to opt-out before “accidentally” sharing data.

We are not interested in opt-in metrics. To make this a little more confusing, metrics collection is actually separate from uploading. Collection is always initially enabled, while uploading is always initially disabled. The graphical toggle enables or disables both at the same time.

Given all this I have even lower confidence that the opt-out will be bug free, especially over time. If the settings are separate then why just one toggle? If it were separate, I might want to collect then inspect the data and maybe even choose to share (or use the data myself some other way).

Few users would opt in…

Well yes, if it’s all my way or the highway. I understand that this is a tough problem to solve and a tougher one to message correctly. Hopefully someone will figure it out one day.

I’m a Gnome user, with a few extensions but mostly vanilla.

For me efficiency and less eye strain is important. I want my eyes to be at the center of the screen for the majority of my session. Gnome is my goto for that reason but any tiling windows manager would do as welll.

KDE and the windows start bar lookalikes constantly have your eyes going to the corner or sides to open and find apps.

waspentalive OP , in Drive (s) wrecked?

Here is a related question - when I was writing random or zeros to the raw device (/dev/sda) I was getting speeds of 1.7 or so mb / s now I am getting 25 mb/s writing to a file in the partition.

Why the difference?

MisterDigital , in Drive (s) wrecked?

Have you tried it with a different enclosure or directly connected to your PC? My last two “faulty” HDDs actually just had a faulty controller in the enclosure. Drives were fine.

waspentalive OP ,

This enclosure was working up till when I stopped a dd to try something faster.

If you’re gonna do btrfs snapshots, you may also want to create subvolumes for certain directories to exclude them from the snapshots, similar to rootco.de/2018-01-19-opensuse-btrfs-subvolumes/

Boring old X11 Gnome for me, it looks pretty, it’s reliable and it has all the stuff I’d expect out of a desktop environment

Wayland doesn’t play nice with my GPU and I’ve heard it’s not great for gaming anyway

Gaming has been pretty good for me on GNOME Wayland.

Sentau , (edited )

I’ve heard it’s not great for gaming anyway

Gaming on wayland now has more or less the same performance as on x11. Some things like vrr (atleast on plasma) is even better/easier on wayland than on x11

flashgnash ,

Vrr? Did you mean vr?

Also maybe I should try it on my PC then, haven’t tested it there though can’t really see any need for it as my monitors are similar resolution there

Sentau ,

I meant variable refresh rate by vrr.

though can’t really see any need for it as my monitors are similar resolution there

Well wayland may help if the refresh rates of the monitor is different. Also Wayland will be the only one supported in the future as if I understand correctly, X11 is no longer supported

flashgnash ,

One has 144hz 1440p and one is 60hz1080p, I’ve got one of them running on 170hz on x11 afaik, what’s normally the problem with differing refresh rates?

boonhet ,

Variable refresh rate changes the refresh rate of your screen dynamically according to in-game fps. Think Freesync and G-Sync.

flashgnash ,

What’s the advantage of doing that? Surely just leaving the refresh rate at 170 and running at 60fps would be fine?

boonhet ,

It’s for eliminating tearing.

flashgnash ,

Can’t say I’ve ever experienced any tearing but fair enough

To be completely safe I’d just use a VM, if you think that is an overkill then I suggest bubblewrap

appoloin ,

Firejail is another option

I have a dell G15 5525 with rtx3060. No issues besides the general Nvidia driver issues. You can check the Arch Wiki.

minkshaman , in Best distro to turn my old laptop into a server?

Try UnRaid!

Merulox OP ,
@Merulox@lemmy.world avatar

checked out their website, and it seems great!

minkshaman ,

It is so easy.

It’s all built on slack so the core of it runs on potato.

The idea is you whack it on a USB and boot off that. All your drives become an array for UnRaid and you can easily generate a swarm of dockers or VMs to do whatever you want.

They have a massive catalog of docker apps ready to rock, including a WefWef Lemmy client!

TCB13 , in RustDesk (Open source TeamViewer / Citrix alternative) 1.2.0 released
@TCB13@lemmy.world avatar

One more version without the obvious UPnP. At this point I think they’re not implementing UPnP in order to somehow profit from the lack of it in the future. Who on their right minds wants all traffic going over a server when in most cases you can simply use UPnP? This makes no sense.

packetloss ,
@packetloss@lemmy.world avatar

Also yet another version with the address book not implemented, but I bet the sign in button is still on the client to continue to confuse new users. Almost 2 years that button has been there to do nothing.

Always cool to see it progress!

Rewritten with Flutter

Wasn’t it from the start?

Fryboyter OP ,

I am not sure myself, so the following may be wrong.

In my understanding, the rewrite refers to the RustDesk desktop whose interface appears to have been created with Sciter, which was replaced by Flutter.

github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/discussions/533

QuazarOmega ,

That looks right actually, so they had been using Flutter already for mobile and finally decided to align their desktop codebase to it too, makes sense
