This sounds like thinking I had as carer for my mother with dementia/Alzheimer’s. If so, I found introducing new things to be not useful, it will be soon forgotten, (If not, good, and ignore this, but XY-Problem indeed). What I found actually useful was remote video monitoring on my phone (using a few RasPi’s, I’m sure there are better solutions, but I was poor, and it worked) allowing me to go out in necessity. The other thing I wish I’d done earlier is reach out to any and all available support earlier rather than later, it’s a marathon and every edge you can get will allow you to do better for all concerned, not least yourself.

That said, watches with automatic fall monitoring, with SMS alert to you would be useful. Ideally, something like Alexa (but preferably not as privacy invading, still, needs must as the devil drives) or whatever allowing her to just call out “help” and get a call to you on a speaker / microphone is probably achievable now, perhaps someone can chime in, or you can go searching. Best of luck!

You realise KDE’s had tiling for years, right? (Bismuth and then native)

Try setting it explicitly to be sure, and make sure you’ve mapped the port in gluetun.

I do this, along with pamusb, so I don’t need a password for sudo etc. (which allows a longer more secure password than I might otherwise use). Depending on the threat model, I think it’s fine to just leave it in. One day I’ll get it to shutdown --now on ripping out the key drive without dismounting first, sort of a break glass in emergency thing. Same thing can be achieved with pulling the key and holding the power button though (even if it’s a bit rude to the filesystem)

Radicale has been so good I’d forgotton it existed, carddav and caldav sorted. Unix principle at its best, do one thing well (or microservices for the newbies). Why are you dogwhistling for a closed source marginal replacement for syncthing ?

Noice!

Why wouldn’t NVIDIA want its drivers made for free, gotta wonder… (might have to do with artificial segmentation, which is getting more redundant as game GPUs go through the roof)

If I just happen to get the bad module that craps out after 6 months, the positive reviews are not that helpful.

That’s what RAID(5) is for, if a drive craps out you just shrug and get a new one (or warranty), no data loss. Easy enough to cobble together with a PCIe card and 4ish smaller drives, faster too…

Yep, as can happen easily if you buy in a batch. Just like ransom (related, no?), non-sequential serial numbers please.

I see this a lot, but do you really think the big players haven’t backed up the pre-22 datasets? Also, synthetic (LLM generated) data is routinely used in fine tuning to good effect, it’s likely that architectures exist that can happily do primary training on synthetic as well.

Fedora is a “batteries included” distro

You obviously don’t have NVIDIA, kudos, but no CUDA… Also, some of us like codecs, etc.

MalReynolds ,
@MalReynolds@slrpnk.net avatar

I was more referring to the need for RPMFusion (batteries), which is a stumbling block for newbs unless they check the what to install after you install Fedora sites etc. I appreciate the purity, but the poor confused person coming from winblows may not…

It’d be really nice if df -h actually worked for btrfs…

Also, the discrepancies can be way worse than that.

Which is not to say don’t use it, it’s a way superior filesystem, just needs some polishing with these things. Also, remember to occasionally sudo btrfs balance, or better, set up a systemd to do so…

Oddly specific, but totally a red flag.

Figured. Commiserations…

I've Installed multiple Linux Distros on my Editing Rig to see how well Davinci Resolve Studio works. Here are the results.

So a couple of weeks ago, I made this post asking for help from those who used Linux and Davinci Resolve, and their experience. To those who’s response was effectively “I use arch btw”, I hear you, but that wasn’t the question I wanted to ask....

Got as far as

I can install the driver from Nvidia itself and install it that way

and noped out. Protip, never, ever install the driver from Nvidia, that’s windows thinking. Find out how to install it from your distro (in this case RPMFusion, or better for this person, bazzite). It might even work, but it will break on updates.

Edit: Also foot shooting behaviour with cinnamon, get things working using distro default, then try on cinnamon.

I have an old, spinning rust WinBlows, easily inserted in the ex-cdrom slot of my bathtub movie lenovo t440p, because once a year or so I need to upgrade the firmware of some crap that has no other option. Wastes about 24 hrs of (annoying but small) power updating each time. May this pass, in time. (like tears in rain :)

I should get around to imaging it onto a SSD, but I don’t, due to distaste, and then I need it again. :(.

Ah, yes, bad phrasing on my part which assumed knowledge. The OS is immutable, but those three are mutable. I should also have pointed out it’s prudent to spin up a new user if switching between Gnome and KDE due to dot file overlap, I’d be unsurprised if that applies to other DEs/WMs…
