Whats up with Snowshoe Siamese that make them compulsively knead biscuits on soft things like that? Mine does exactly the same and he’s all serious business, if I pet him while he’s doing that he gets miffed af

I’d say keep that machine as is, and whenever you build a new one, just put whichever distro you like. If possible I’d roll back to win10 and after support ends, keep that machine VLAN’d off the internet. This way you turn it into a music production appliance without disrupting your workflow

Best Graphic card for Linux Gaming (lemmy.wtf)

Are they some graphic card benchmark for linux environment ? From my windows experience, drivers are important, and often underestimate. My linux gaming experience is very bad, lots of my game are unstable, and others use a lot more resources than with windows. However, when I ask people, some of them have no issue at all, even...

Willdrick ,

If using a somewhat modern distro, this isn’t an issue anymore (unless you run a really old OpenGL game).

I run my PC in this way with little to no performance degradation: monitors go to my motherboard (r5 2400g CPU with vega11 iGPU) and games use my RX 5700XT without having to do anything at all… Pretty smart handling tbh

Willdrick ,

I’m running vanilla Fedora 40. Haven’t installed that, and just checked and it’s not even on fedora’s repos

Don’t forget about the whole desktop rain effect!

Who would dare to ask why

The archive file, right?

RIGHT???

Recommendations for an authentic mousepad?

Hiya peeps, my mouse mat has served its time, and it is time for a new one. Until now, I’ve had one of these huge ones, that cover half the desk. But I think this time I’m gonna aim for a normal-sized one. I’d also like to avoid cheap Chinese wares or anything low-quality. Anyone got any nice recommendations for mousepads?...

Willdrick ,

I’ve used an A2 Olfa cutting mat for a long time (those dark green ones with the grid)

It was really beat up but the underside was pristine. Mice glided a lot. after getting a new mouse I decided to get a traditional cheapo deskmat because I didn’t want to wear the mouse skate pads.

By the amount of exploits and privilege escalations he pulls off (and the fact that everything is stuck in 1999) I’m almost positive that the matrix is running on some sort of WindowsNT

Maybe a bit of a low tech solution, but I have an older RPI 3B running a second instance of PiHole.

I just checked and at least on LineageOS 21 (android 14) you indeed can add specific apps (and notification categories, eg calls) to bypass do not disturb

Check out Emudeck.It will be far easier than doing each game by hand

Willdrick ,

If you’re on Linux, gnome-web uses the same engine as safari. And it’s a mess

Safari is the new ie6

Edit: also blink (used by anything chromium) is based off WebKit (safari)

Good riddance, spent several years hooked to League. That being said, the fragmentation argument is bullshit, they could ship a read-only container in a flatpak and it’d run everywhere.

Kernel level is a huge risk and it doesn’t guarantee anything, especially in the age of Ai cheats and network mitm cheats

Willdrick ,

That’s the point. A read only container to keep low hanging fruit at bay, and flatpak to distribute without having to repackage to every distro under the sun.

I don’t fuck with the game, the game doesn’t fuck with my system.

Willdrick ,

Probable firefox theme and addons to replicate the Arc browser layout

Willdrick ,

Around that time too, UT99 shipped with Linux binaries on the friggin cd

Willdrick ,

Hold down meta and you can drag the window from anywhere (on gnome at least thats a default)

Willdrick ,

Check AnythingLLM out, its just an appimage

Willdrick ,

There’s a dockerized version if you need those

github.com/Mintplex-Labs/…/HOW_TO_USE_DOCKER.md

Willdrick ,

No idea if its better, its the thing I tried and it was pretty seamless to set up. With my aging hardware and AMD GPU, I have been pretty much sitting in the sidelines with this whole LLM thing

Willdrick ,

No need, at least on Firefox you can hold down shift (or alt? I never remember) + right click to bypass such restrictions

Help using Mangohud / Gamemode with Flatpak version of Lutris and Steam

Like the title says I am trying to understand how these things should work together. Part of my issue is I don’t have a good mental model on the Flatpak permissioning / sandbox model. My use case is running a game on Lutris, which is a Flatpack, and using my package install of Mangohud. I am also curious if I should using a...

Willdrick ,

The easiest way is going to Flatseal, selecting steam and under the folders section add the paths to your libraries.

Willdrick ,

Tasks.org and logseq here, ended up being the simplest way after bouncing off grocy and other overly detailed systems.

Tip: before going through with hosting NextCloud, you could get /e/ accounts, they don’t give much space but since it’s just rebranded NextCloud, you can try it out and see if it works for you.

Currently we use several tasks boards so chores are separate by type (shopping list, maintenance, bills, chores) and logseq’s journal on the app makes it flexible to take notes or whatever you need (audio notes, pics, links, etc)

Willdrick ,

Wholeheartedly agree, but most people wont do it, so you end up with signal for 1 or 2 friends, telegram for a few others, and all the crap ones for the rest (whatsapp, slack, teams, messenger, etc)

Ive ditched every messaging app but signal and telegram, and its really annoying sometimes

Willdrick OP ,

Holy crap thanks for the detailed walkthrough! Im going to set it up as soon as I can!!

Willdrick OP ,

While I was researching I found out about Squeezebox, as there are people using it in combination with HomeAssistant. Both solutions you and @cfi provided seem pretty doable, and I’ve already been tinkering with Mopidy on armbian. Snapcast is something I’ve never heard of, and I’m definetly going to tinker around it, I’d love to be able to sync several speakers around the house, specially for parties and gatherings.

That being said I think they are a bit overkill for the usecase, and I’m looking for something even simpler, maybe repurposing the guts of a cheap BT speaker I have lying around, see if I can find somewhere on the PCB where I can tap line level audio output and solder it directly inside the amp/sub box, along with a small power supply to run without batteries. (I know there are ready-made BT modules for this, but where’s the fun in that!)

Used to run eOS several years ago, as I was coming off using OSX. I quickly realised it was more of a skin deep imitation and ended up switching to gnome, that keeps all the drag&drop actions across all apps. If you have some spare time, give fedora a go, which comes with a vanilla gnome install. Flatpaks are well integeated, speedy tested updates and installing nvidia drivers is 2 clicks on the software app (scroll down on the main page to see the “drivers” section)

Willdrick ,

If gamescope misbehaves, proton-ge releases include wine fshack with fsr capabilities. Select proton-ge as the compatibility tool and add WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 %command% to the launch options. Once in game, select any resolution you like, and it’ll scale it using fsr to your display’s resolution.

Librera reader off f-droid works great for me

IIRC Uber has patented dynamic pricing based on a ton of data, including your phone battery being low. I wouldn’t be surprised if they hiked your fare just because you were on the car shop.

Obviously they say its not in use but who could check

Edit: some further reading hbs.edu/…/22-050_ec28aaca-2b94-477f-84e6-e8b58428…

Thought it was Siamon and Catfunkel

I’m on vacation and my shitty Chromebook made me rediscover how atmospheric Diablo 1 was. I’m using DevilutionX source port, pretty good IMO.

Willdrick ,

Just nextcloud will do. Get Davx5 from f-droid and give it a long term login (on NC settings > security). It’ll sync contacts, calendar events, tasks, etc on its own

Willdrick ,

Dangit, misread outer wilds… Thanks for the freebie heads up tho!

Willdrick ,

As a non pixel user I’m locked out of options like Graphene, but /e/ has been a great daily driver for me for over 2 to 3 years.

Since now I’m on a decent powerful phone, I can leverage android’s work profile (via Insular app) to keep a few annoying apps happy with MicroG. The main portion of my phone has it disabled and you can really tell the drain play services (even if used indirectly via microG) has on battery life.

Willdrick ,

BOTH, That’s the beauty of it. If the fat nerds come up with some sick new thing, it eventually gets added to the corpo distro. Meanwhile the big company can liaison with hardware vendors for drivers so that the fat nerds can spin it into their niche distro (e.g. new CPU compatibility)

Willdrick ,

Ojcar!

Is Geometric Weather displaying info on thebdetail cards for your chosen service? I changed it to OoenWeatherMap and still shows me accuweather cards

Willdrick ,

Probably overkill, but NextCloud has a health app with a pretty big suite of features

Willdrick ,

Bazzite is just an immutable fedora image with preconfigured containers, among others an arch container for running steam and adjacent apps.

Overall fedora (whether immutable or regular) feels like a rolling release. By the time a new release comes out, most packages are similar, except maybe a big suite (e.g. new gnome version). Upgrades are also pretty seamless too. My grandpa’s pc has been running Fedora since 27 (or 29) and it’s now on 38. Never reinstalled

Willdrick ,

There’s also PTS for all your benchmarking needs. www.phoronix-test-suite.com

I have Debian on a secondary laptop and it’s rock solid. I’m really tempted to go debian on my main rig but keep the gaming stuff as flatpaks for more frequent updates

Ffs i only olayed one match of Starship Troopers… Im getting dismembered by an oversized animstronic alien ant
