Make sure that device doesn’t require proprietary drivers (commonly WiFi or GPU). If the hardware in question needs those and you need the component to work, I wouldn’t take it for free because you’d be stuck with shitty support on an ancient kernel.

Most commonly, thio affects broadcom WiFi and Nvidia GPUs.

I can highly recommend using Nix on macOS! We never randomly update your apps (wtf?)

I haven’t used brave but I can see that we’re on the release before the one yesterday. I’d expect a PR in the coming days.

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

Minor version bumps should be mostly trivial: Change version and hash, package that into commit+PR (ckeck guidelines on that!) and that’s it most of the time.

The harder part is QA; ensuring it still works as expected. Therefore, even just testing update PRs as they come in would be a great help.
If the code change is trivial and a user of the package said it still works for them, a commiter coming along is likely convinced of the PR’s quality and just merges it.

It’s super easy to contribute to Nixpkgs in a meaningful manner :)

With fairphone at least rooting does, don`t know about flashing tho.

Source for that?

You must gain root privileges in order to flash anything; that’s what the oem unlock is for.

Whatever you flash has full access anyways.

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

That reads pretty clear to me. If you use root privileges to cause damage to your phone, that’s the same as using a hammer to cause damage to your phone and obviously not covered by warranty. As long as you don’t damage your phone with root privileges (pretty hard to do IME), you should be covered by warranty.

No, seriously. Let the distros package your software; they know how to do that best.

What are the rules of buying used storage?

I am currently expanding my Homelab setup, and want to buy a 10TB drive, for media storage. It’s a Seagate Ironwolf disk, so perfect for the job. But, it’s second hand. It was originally bought in 2019, but stopped being used after 2022. Only used for static storage, it’s been booted less than 50 times. I can get it for...

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

Original price doesn’t matter, you need to compare it against current new offerings. A drive like that, I’d buy for 8-10€/TB at max. because current new HDD pricing is 15€/TB at the low end.

What you also need is SMART output. Watch out for high uncorrectable errors, writes and whatever. I’d never buy a drive without having seen its SMART data.

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

In general nix packages are not reproducible in the sense that the output will be bit-for-bit identical.

A large amount aren’t but, OTOH, a large amount also are because Nix does almost everything it can to set up an environment without easily preventable sources of non-determinism such as general filesystem access, networking or other means of communication with some uncontrolled system.

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

There are different “levels” to reproducibility and there’s also a distinction between Nix/Nixpkgs and NixOS.

You can talk about r13y in terms of functional r13y (same behaviour, though even here you can differentiate between “roughly same behaviour” and “exact same behaviour”) and binary bit-for-bit r13y.

Nix/Nixpkgs are about producing individual binaries reproducibly. Functional r13y is the most important but binary r13y is a great boon for security testing as it makes verification simple and simplicity trumps when it comes to security.

NixOS is about building functionally reproducible OS configuration. Because it uses Nixpkgs, the binaries contained in the OS inherit Nixpkgs’ binary r13y. As Nixpkgs becomes more binary-reprodicible, so does NixOS and here we can see the point where binary r13y of the packages in the minimal ISO has reached a point where it’s thought to be fully reproducible.

The real meat of NixOS is functional r13y though; both kinds: You can reproduce a system with the exact same behaviour from a given Nixpkgs and NixOS config and you can use the same NixOS config with different revisions of Nixpkgs to produce systems which produce roughly the same behaviour.

Bringing a game to a new platform is phenomenally expensive - 7 or 8 figures for a large game. It’s not just the port, it’s testing, it’s updating docs, it’s updating support people. That is money someone has to invest up-front, so the people with the money need to know they are going to get a reasonable return on that money compared to building a new game

In this case, it really isn’t. The platform they need to support is Windows before and after. No change there.
The only actual change they need to do is set a setting in their anti-cheat middleware to allow Proton and distribute the required binaries. Obviously a bit of QA that that part actually works.
The rest is up to WINE/Proton/Valve and supporting systems and 99.9% of that should already work. We as the broader Linux community have full control over those, so there’s no further input required from the game dev after that.

It’s maybe 1-2 dev days, perhaps a week. That works out to 3-4 figures, maybe 5. I suspect that’d be offset in the first 5min of even just announcing Linux support.

Any differences between Namecheap and Spaceship?

I used to have a really cheap domain from Namecheap before, and I used Cloudflare as my DNS. I’m going to buy a new domain, and Spaceship seems to be the cheapest registrar for my domain right now (I’m only buying for one year), however they seem really new. Are there any differences between Namecheap and Spaceship, and...

Or pay a fee >$10 for transferring the domain to a different registrar.

Not entirely of course as they have their own products they sell but they worked together on Proton.

Where did the abbreviation "w/" for "with" come from?

Hi, English isn’t my mother tongue so I was asking myself that question since I first encounted a w/… Back then I was like: “What tf does ‘w slash’ stand for?” And when I found out I was like “How, why, and is it any intuitive?” But I never dared to ask that until now

Trade Republic

App’s pretty meh and it’s generally pretty meh but it’s dirt cheap. 1€ per transaction is amazing when all I really do is passive investing.

They did notify me that they’re going to delete my personal data when I hadn’t followed up on my registrations for a few months which suggests they take data privacy serious and is the reason I ultimately went with them. Scalable Capital (another “cheap” neo-broker who I started the signup process with at about the same time) OTOH hasn’t sent a word tome to this day; I should send a GDPR request soon.

Why do they need to be part of your Tailnet? I usually just share a single machine.

I’d downvote that comment too. It adds nothing to the discussion and is deliberately confrontative and superficial.

In the meantime (how many years did it take Discord to update their electron to a not-quite-as-ancient version the last time?), one thing I’d like to see here would be the option to allow listening to global keypresses for certain apps. Yes, that makes security slightly worse I guess but I’d rather have all the other benefits of Wayland working for me while this one isn’t working yet.

Good server OS for Jellyfin

I want to make a server for hosting media through Jellyfin, and maybe some Nextcloud functionality. I prefer to use containers, but something like TrueNAS’ extensions/plugins sound good as well. This is my first server, so I don’t know what to choose. My possible options are:...

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

Based on that generic request, you’re just going to get everyone’s personal favourite server OS here. You’ll need to give more details to get something tailored to your needs.

@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

And the best part is: When you’re done trying it out and like your setup in the vm, you can simply copy your configuration.nix over to the real machine ;)

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

It is the endavourOS of NixOS.

However, making NixOS more user friendly is a lot more work than simply offering a default config. Most of the work/challenge lies in the GUI NixOS configuration editor.

There could come a point where the only way to sustainably host a lemmy instance would require some sort of commercialisation. Since hosts are the people who actually decide what users get served, they are in control.

Of course you can always fork the software but someone still needs to host that fork. If the popular instances all had ads or other malware to sustain themselves financially and alternative instances without malware existed, everyone would flock to those alternative instances. If those alternative instances couldn’t find a way to fund that load, they’d simply die.

the more users an instance has, the more donations it will get.

I don’t see this as a given. I also don’t see it as a given that donations and costs would rise equally.

The problems aren’t as pronounced yet because Lemmy as a whole is, in social media network terms, very small (3 orders of magnitude difference compared to the incumbents). If growth continues, the point will certainly come where we will outgrow the size that can be reasonably funded by nerd donations.

Note that there’s a bunch of proprietary middleware in use by games that will likely never see support on platforms other than x86_64-windows. The high-level nature of individual components doesn’t mean much when some parts are just inherently unportable.

If these are local and they’re botted to hell, perhaps get in contact with your instance’s admins. I’m sure they don’t appreciate that sort of behaviour either.

How can I find the reason my PC crashes?

Lately my PC has started crashing while it plays videos. It freezes completely, screen frozen and not responding to any input (keyboard, mouse), I mean I cannot change TTY (alt + ctrl + F(1-2-…)), and it cannot even respond to alt + PrntScr + REISUB. I have to force power off by holding down the power button....

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

In that case I’d rather suspect the CPU. Decoding video can stress certain parts of a CPU that aren’t usually stressed by other applications. YouTube commonly serves AV1 nowadays which most GPUs older than a few years can’t decode and is rather compute intensive.

Is the CPU overclocked, undervolted or overheating? Instability in the CPU can certainly cause a complete system crash.

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

I’d probably suspect PSU last.
