How can I hold a Zenphone before buying it?

My wife is in the market for a new phone. Her highest priority is that it’s small. She has it narrowed down to a Galaxy S23 or a Zenphone 10. The Samsung is the safe bet, especially since she’s upgrading from an S10e. And even so, we can just got to T-mobile and play with one. The Zenphone is a bit riskier as it’s...

Spotify -> MOTU M2 -> HiFiMan Ananda non-stealth

“High resolution” audio is completely useless for listening (16 bit 44.1 kHz is the best it gets) and there is little value in lossless encodes for listening purposes too, so I don’t get the point of all those “Hifi” streaming services.
If you own lossless encodes, I guess it doesn’t hurt to use them even for listening as storage is cheap these days.

Speaking of which, I’d like to switch to purchasing my music though because Spotify will certainly continue on its path towards full enshittification. I want to be in a position where I own all my favourite music before Spotify will be infected with ads on premium plans. Oh and artists are somewhat more likely to be paid a little for their work that way (I hope…)
I plan to use the free YT music for discovery at that point.

First real Arch user moment [Mission Failed]

(Bonus update) I’m back on KDE6 and it’s actually working! I ran Cinnamon for about a day before missing KDE and tried a fresh install of EndeavourOS. It worked fine, Wayland still doesn’t work but I’m only getting minor bugs with x11 compared to when I tried to update from 5.27...

So you rolled back your root filesystem’s system state to a snapshot but did you roll back the kernel you’re booting into aswell?

If you didn’t, that’d explain the symptoms seen here; you might be booting into a newer kernel than the system state has modules for. Without the appropriate kernel modules, Linux cannot mount filesystems or accept keyboard input. (This depends on which modules are required by the HW and whether they’re built into the kernel or copied to the initrd though.)

For debugging, simply boot a live ISO and chroot into the system. The Arch Wiki has a page for that. You should be able to look at the journal inside the chroot and it’ll tell you exactly what’s wrong.

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

That fully depends on where your kernels are stored. If they’re in a separate partition, then no; it won’t roll back with the rest of your system.

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

That doesn’t matter. Snapshots only concern the state of any one filesystem; they do not address separate filesystems in any way.

I would not “share” it synchronously as @gratux recommended because in that case the data is only stored on one device and almost always accessed remotely. If the internet connection is gone, you’d no longer have access to the data and if the VPS dies, your data would be gone on all other machines too.

If you want to use Nextcloud anyways, that would be an option.

If all you want to do is have a shared synchronised state between multiple machines though, Syncthing would be a much lighter weight purpose-built alternative.

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

It really depends on what it is you’re trying to share between machines.

I don’t use syncthing but something that fulfils a similar function (git-annex). My Documents repo is set up in such a way that all instances of the repo try to have a copy of everything because documents are very important data and don’t take much space. Other (larger) repos only try to have two or three independant copies; depending on how large and important their data is.

I would not buy a CPU without seeing a real-world measurement of idle total system power consumption if you’re concerned about energy (and therefore cost) efficiency in any way. Especially on desktop platforms where manufacturers historically do not care one bit about efficiency. You could easily spend many hundred € every year if it’s bad. I was not able to find any measurements for that specific CPU.

Be faster at transcoding video. This is primarily so I can use PhotoPrism for video clips. Real-time transcoding 4K 80mbps video down to something streamabke would be nice. Despite getting QuickSync to work on the Celeron, I can’t pull more than 20fps unless I drop the output to like 640x480.

That shouldn’t be the case. I’d look into getting this fixed properly before spending a ton of money for new hardware that you may not actually need. It smells like to me that encode or decode part aren’t actually being done in hardware here.

What codec and pixel format are the source files?
How quickly can you decode them? Try running ffmpeg manually with VAAPI decode, -c copy, and a null sink on the files in question.

What codec are you trying to transcode to? Apollo lake can’t encode HEVC 10 bit. Try encoding a testsrc (testsrc=duration=10:size=3840x2160:rate=30) to AVC 10 bit or HEVC 8 bit.

This is a false dichotomy. Just because containers make it easy to ship software, doesn’t mean other means can’t be equally easy.

NixOS achieves a greater ease of deployment than docker-compose and the like without any containers involved for instance.

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

NixOS packages only work with NixOS system. They’re harder to setup than just copying a docker-compose file over and they do use container technology.

It’s interesting how none of that is true.

Nixpkgs work on practically any Linux kernel.

Whether NixOS modules are easier to set up and maintain than unsustainably copying docker-compose files is subjective.

Neither Nixpkgs nor NixOS use container technology for their core functionality.
NixOS has the nixos-container framework to optionally run NixOS inside of containerised environments (systemd-nspawn) but that’s rather niche actually. Nixpkgs does make use of bubblewrap for a small set of stubborn packages but it’s also not at all core to how it works.

Totally beside the point though; even if you don’t think NixOS is simpler, that still doesn’t mean containers are the only possible mean by which you could possibly achieve “easy” deployments.

Also without containers you don’t solve the biggest problems such as incompatible database versions between multiple services.

Ah, so you have indeed not even done the bare minimum of research into what Nix/NixOS are before you dismissed it. Nice going there.

as robust in terms of configurations

Docker compose is about the opposite of a robust configuration system.

Have you considered using Oracle’s free VPS tier? Should be more than powerful enough to host a read-only Lemmy instance.

It’s not ideal but if you’re short on money, it’s better than having your online data rot.

At least they now allow passwords over 8 characters (yes, serious).

Are you 100% certain they don’t just truncate your password to 8 characters?

If you’ve done an OEM unlock, you effectively already have root access to the device. You could boot a custom recovery right now and modify any system file.

“Rooting” just means using this privilege you already have in order to install a tool into the OS such that you can make use of this privilege while the regular OS is booted.

Go install Magisk and do the safetynet dance. It’s a whole thing but should give you a “clean” device from the perspective of unprivileged apps. It’s stupid that you have to do this but here we are.

I don’t get why we didn’t just do it macOS style; bundle everything into one directory with a standardised structure and wire up file managers etc. to run the correct executable inside it.

Proper, integrated packaging is obviously preferred (though as a NixOS user I disagree that that implies an FHS) but this is about “stand-alone” packages. You’re missing the point.

Issue with Valve Index

I got myself a valve index, as I’ve heard that it works well on GNU/Linux (I use Debain 12 with GNOME). Turns out, there were a bunch of hurtles. At first, my cable was just broken, so I needed to get that relaced. Later on when I got the cable, Everything worked fine, but nothinig is being displayed in the headset. The screen...

Are there any Windows-exclusive programs you use?

I had to test/fix something at work and I set up a Windows VM because it was a bug specific to Windows users. Once I was done, I thought, “Maybe I should keep this VM for something.” but I couldn’t think of anything that wasn’t a game (which probably wouldn’t work well in a VM anyway) or some super specific enterprise...

They don’t need to RE it; they have access to the full spec and everything for their Windows drivers anyways. They’d open themselves up for litigation if they implemented this behind the forum’s back though and that’s something AMD (understandably) simply won’t do.

Depends on how the cards implement HDMI. Intel cards notably have a DP->HDMI converter chip on-board requiring no software-side support for HDMI.

Atemu OP ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

It does not directly affect wayland support in any way unless you’re using one of those experimental Wayland in Vulkan modes.

It does affect it indirectly insofar as that, with NVK, you’re able to use the nouveau kernel module which exposes standardised interfaces that Wayland relies on without losing the ability to do Vulkan which was not possible previously. If you wanted Vulkan previously, you had to use Nvidia’s proprietary driver and its non-standard interfaces that cause issues with Wayland.

Atemu OP ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

Yes but I don’t see how that’s related to Wayland as nouveau (mesa OGL) is also capable of driving apps inside a modern desktop.

Atemu OP ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

Read the article.

Atemu OP ,

I’d expect extremely poor performance as Nvidia does not allow nouveau to reclock Pascal cards; you’d be stuck at the lowest clocks.

I’m not familiar with the game or how it should look like but it is quite old and was considered quite intensive at the time which may explain some of the effects present here.

I can give some general observations and tips though:

  • The fizzling you prominently see here exists to mask LOD (level of detail) transitions
  • LOD appears to be quite low overall; especially textures in the distance

I’d google for LOD issues in AC:Unity.

It’s illegal to circumvent copy protection under the DMCA (something I wholeheartedly disagree with), but it’s not illegal to make something that can be used to circumvent copy protection.

It is explicitly illegal to produce any thing whose purpose it is to circumvent DRM:

(1) No person shall manufacture, import, offer to the public, provide, or otherwise traffic in any technology, product, service, device, component, or part thereof, that—
(A) is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing protection afforded by a technological measure that effectively protects a right of a copyright owner under this title in a work or a portion thereof;

I’m telling you, that law is mental.

In fact, there are exemptions to that provision and one of them states that circumventing copy protection in order to play a video game using assistive technologies is legal.

Could you point that specific exception in the law? I can’t find it.

The dumps are just that: Dumps; 1:1 copies.

The tools don’t decrypt anything; that happens within Yuzu. Why else would users need to provide the prod keys to Yuzu?

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

The actual text for reference:

Video games in the form of computer programs, embodied in lawfully acquired physical or downloaded formats, and operated on a general-purpose computer, where circumvention is undertaken solely for the purpose of allowing an individual with a physical disability to use software or hardware input methods other than a standard keyboard or mouse.

That explicitly only applies to physically disabled people. Yuzu is not specifically targetted at providing a different input method (at all) and certainly not solely for the physically disabled.

That exception is not relevant to this case.
