I’d just like to interject for a moment. What I’ve been referring to as “being fine”, is in fact, Dysthymia/being fine, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Dysthymia plus being fine

Oh they are when they first set up Windows

Krtek ,

oflag=sync also works instead of && sync. Might as well drop a status=progress in there too

Krtek ,

It works fine with Firefox funnily enough

Krtek ,

Valve contributes a lot to Wine too

Krtek ,

Did the same thing, though I’m handling the tabs with Sway

What distro would you recommend for a 32-bit old Acer One laptop? (kbin.social)

It's an old model (Acer One D257) Processor is Intel Atom. Memory is 1GB DDR3 with 320 GB of HDD. I currently Have MX 21 running on it, but I need to reinstall because I forgot the root password. Since I'm reinstalling the OS, I thought I'd ask here for recommendations for an OS that makes the most of this oldie.

Krtek ,

If you don’t have to use it but want to keep it functional, why just not reinstall MX again? You know that and how it works

Krtek ,

Would like to see how much the background work is impacted over time. Seems like a scheduling issue to me

Linux way way slower than Windows?

So I jumped ship from Windows to Kubuntu last night, and It’s mostly been pretty good. However my general performance of the computer has been abysmal. Like it takes upwards of 5 seconds to open anything. All of my hardware seems to be running at max speeds, so I have no idea why it would be so sluggish? It’s as if I’m...

Krtek ,

or the pump has failed

I recently set up a laptop for a friend and he was so pissed off that the user folder was just named after the first five letters of the Microsoft Account that I had to redo it with a local account

Krtek ,

Only requires stuff like editing the registry and probably signing a pact with Microsoft, but it was possible from what I read online

Ask Lemmy: Traditional vs natural mouse scrolling; which do you use?

Despite being a heavy cell phone user for more than 25 years, it only recently occurred to me that vertical navigation on most phones is inverted when compared to traditional computers. You swipe down to navigate upward, and up to navigate downward. I recently spent time using a MacBook, which apparently defaults to this...

Krtek ,

Wow, that’s bad UX, every other OS lets you change it for individual devices or types of devices

Krtek ,

Do you use Btrfs? With that you could extend the Fedora partition even though the free space is not where it should be

Krtek ,

yoo that article is from 2002

Wisest Upgrade from Raspberry Pi (artemis.camp)

I am several months into the self-hosting journey and I feel I have outgrown my Pi 4 B 8GB. I'm only running around 3 dozen containerized services and it seems to struggle to keep up. But I'm not sure of the best bang for my buck. I'd like good, long-term performance, but I don't really have a grand lying around for a Lenovo...

Krtek ,

laptops are sold at the same price with similar components, so no

I have this red number 1 next to my file manager in Fedora 38. No clue what it means or how to fix it

Hello all, I am brand new to fedora, so Im still learning the ropes. I’ve been noticing this red number 1 next to the file manager in the dock. Being a debian/ubuntu guy at heart, I don’t quite know how to troubleshoot this. Hope you guys can shed some light; pic is below!...

Krtek ,

Clicking delete while pressing shift should do the same thing in most file managers, just use it with caution

Krtek ,

I’d say it’s essential on a SMR drive

Krtek ,

I use jdupes for that

Abnormally high ram usage on idle (NixOS)

My computer over the last week has (after using the computer for a few hours) shown very high ram usage, around 50 - 60% out of 32GB, even though nothing in htop appears to be the culprit with the highest consumer being Firefox at 1.6% ram, even in a tty, around half of my ram is being used up even though no process shows over...

Krtek ,

I hate that this is the default answer to these questions, most tools by which less tech savy have detrmined that something is using a lot of ram are accounting for buffers and don’t subtract it from the free space. Every time when I clicked on someones post (well on Reddit, here its the first one) regarding their ram usage being high and this website was posted, it was not the buffer/cache. So while it is obviosly important to get to know how OP determined that something was using a lot of ram, directly assuming that they read it wrong is imo simply not helpful and in most cases just more confusing

Krtek ,

My experiences with a 4700U/5500U and 5600G has also been great on just Fedora

Krtek ,

300€ HP 255 G8 works very well, the physical buttons below the pad feel like they’ll fall apart with every press as they are only hinged somewhere in the middle

Best current hardware solution for selfhosting?

I use my desktop PC for Jellyfin and torrenting, but I’m looking for something that I can keep on 24/7 that draws less power and run other self-hosted services on Linux. I would like to have at least 2x 14 TB 3.5" hard drives in or attached to it with the possibility of expanding in the future....

Krtek ,

There is no 3800G afaik

Krtek , (edited )

I had a 10Gbps USB Icy Box enclosure, speeds were ok but cooling was simply inadequate. Now I have just built a pc with an Asus B550-Plus and a 5600G, idles at 19W with the drives in standby but with three fans active. I thought about going with a mini pc and a better external enclosure, but that would’ve been much more expensive and I doubt that I would’ve saved that much power with that anyway

Krtek ,

So does Toyota (before cars in fact)

Krtek ,

I think just mentioning the LFA suffices

Krtek ,

I’d kinda trust it if it would detect the errors on its own, but now it’s just returning corrupt data, so I’d ditch it

Krtek ,

Using the laptops battery isn’t a good long term solution though as having it plugged in all the time will wear it down fast, not to mention that the battery is build for maximum energy density and not durability/safety. It just simply not working when it is finally needed is almost a pretty light issue when it can just also inflate and pose a huge fire risk next to all of your data. Laptops are great power efficient platforms though for servers

Krtek ,

For that the laptop has to support a charge level on a hardware level though, just setting a limit will cause it to constantly switch between using the battery and charging the battery which would be much worse than keeping it at 100%. Most older and budget systems don’t support that

Krtek ,

Now try IPv6 only :P

Krtek ,

Any reason why Filelight hasn’t replaced k4dirstat?

I just started using Linux... any great tips?

I just installed Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS (Cinnamon) on an empty laptop a couple days ago and have been experimenting a lot. I’m coming from being a Windows user since I was just a little kid playing old DOS games on my grandpa’s Win-98 PC back in around 2000. My daily driver is currently running Windows 10 but I am pretty adamant...

Krtek ,

With the terminal, use the option –help or view it’s man pages with man (command you want to know more about) to avoid having to search the Internet just to find out how commands work. You may find the terminology of certain things strange or may not understand how certain things are described at first, but you’ll have a much better understanding of how everything works when you know how to look up what exacly something does. Oh and in man use u and d to scroll up and down and /(searchword) to search, that makes looking up stuff a lot faster, press q or Ctrl-D to quit

Krtek ,

Our cats with Butterflies :(

Krtek ,

The driverless “driver” for our Canon also seems to work well, the configuration that is lacking from it can just be done over the web interface

Krtek ,

Our cats like to toss around hazelnuts, small rolls of tape and less surprisingly bouncing balls

Storage storage storage

I’m wondering what the best (cheap) option is to have as much storage as possible. I have two DL380 g7 servers with one running lemmy, npm, wireguard and busy getting nextcloud and jellyfin installed. The other one is to run a Proxmox cluster. Just for fun tbh. Amd if needed spare parts. I only have a few tb of storage....

Krtek ,

BTRFS + Seagate SMR seems to work well in my experience, especially if used like a WORM drive. No 24/7 rating, but 5TB per drive

Krtek ,

Consumer external hard drive enclosures may offer a JBOD mode, I had one from Icy Box for a few days, the transfer rates were good but the little fan didn’t cool the hard drives well enough while accessing them. Ended up buying a Define R5 instead

Phones should have 2 USB C ports

One should be at the bottom one at the top. I understand space on the phone is a premium but a second port would make the phone so much more usable. Wired headphones, flash drives, camera modules, speaker modules, keyboards, even connection to a TV, all could be used while charging. It’s a shame it’s not a thing, USB is...

Krtek ,

Can’t be that important if people don’t actually choose with their wallets (Xperia 5 II owner btw)

Was Fedora always so unstable?

I was on Ubuntu for a year. No major issues, although I used the interim releases, which are supposed to be less solid than LTS. Then, a couple of months ago, I decided to switch to Fedora, just out of curiosity. Many people stated how Fedora is rock solid, Fedora is the new Ubuntu, etc. First some rpmfussion updates broke mesa,...

Krtek ,

Also on AMD APU hardware, I was a while on Kubuntu with 5.15 as 5.16 and 5.17 had pretty frequent regressions regarding s0ix, but it was fine afterwards. Until now, though 6.3.12 seems to be somewhat stable again
