Btw just in case you aren’t aware, the nag can be done away with. I don’t have a link off the top of my head but it’s out there.

lupec ,

No such thing, we all start somewhere! :)

Anyway, you could in fact do that if you were thinking of trying out other Fedora Atomic images such as Silverblue and whatnot (see also the ublue page listing tons of others, including your bazzite!). This uses different tooling, so unfortunately not in this case.

lupec ,

I love your attitude lol

lupec ,

Nice, that’s a clean looking setup! Gotta love how flexible Plasma is.

Side note, losing write access to one’s own home directory sounds traumatic lol, even more so when you’re new to Linux. Glad you stuck with it anyway!

lupec ,

Fair enough, no judgement here either way! Unix permissions can be daunting going in, I know I’ve struggled with them quite a bit back when I was learning 😅

lupec ,

As soon as I saw it was about “the whole gender stuff” I knew it had to be some garbage bigoted take lol

lupec ,

I’ve been done with them for most of my life by now but I really didn’t think they could sound much more bigoted, at least not this loudly. Joke’s on me, I guess! This tacitly endorses several major human rights issues going on right now.

They’ve been saying the quiet part out loud for a while when it comes to gay people while also trying here and there to pay lip service to them since it’s not as socially acceptable to hate on that particular minority anymore. This though, is as official and hateful a middle finger as it gets with no punches pulled, particularly at gender diverse folks. At this point I can only hope it leads to more followers realizing the institution is rotten to the core and distancing themselves from them, much like yourself.

lupec ,

I respect your reaction a lot. The world would be a much more pleasant place if more people were willing to look past their comfort zone and see institutionalized hate for what it is.

lupec ,

Yeah, at the of the day whatever they claim comes from dogma is king so being gay/women having bodily autonomy will always be considered some form of sin, regardless of how much they try to be “welcoming” to the people whose actions they claim are inherently sinful.

As a queer person I’m definitely biased, but I’ve always seen acts like those as empty gestures, a mockery of what actual empathy and acceptance are supposed to be. I just don’t see how those can truly flourish within organized religion as I’ve known it, my way or the highway is how it all works by design so it’s a lost cause as far as I’m concerned.

lupec ,

My best guess is it’s a play at the usual “all you do in python is import libraries without knowing how they work lololol” dig but yeah, I don’t find it particularly funny either

lupec ,

Valve only makes the deck available in a handful of countries while Xbox hardware is available pretty much everywhere, so I’d say it’s natural to assume a hypothetical dexbox would too

lupec ,

My understanding is folks tend to gravitate towards that because it’s indeed very close to might’ve and whatnot phonetically. My anecdotal experience as a non-native speaker is we tend to be less affected since we usually tackle speaking and listening more seriously after we’ve already familiarized ourselves enough with writing/reading, grammar and vocab.

lupec ,

Pretty much the tl;dr here, yeah 🤣

lupec ,

Just as an additional tidbit, it’s the same in Portuguese as well!

lupec ,

Very good point, in hindsight I should probably have clarified I was focusing on the written form when I replied

lupec ,

Well, in that case I can only hope my next run goes better! Not taking a few decades to realize I’m a girl or just spawning with the right body would help a lot lol, wouldn’t mind permanently unlocking that for future runs.

I really wish Proxmox had an official Terraform provider

I might not deserve to say this, but I really wish Proxmox GmbH maintained an “official” terraform provider instead of relying on the community completely for it, à la Vates (XCP-ng). To be fair, it was the same with VMWare, so I’m not putting the blame on them....

lupec , (edited )

Yeah, I feel that. I’ve settled on telmate’s but there’s a few things I’ve had to implement as hacky post creation SSH edits on the config files, such as passing through the Intel GPU to my Jellyfin container.

lupec ,

Ah, I see. I’ll check it out!

How would I automate (VM/LXC)-agnostic templates in Proxmox without creating golden images?

For context: I want to automatically enable Intel SGX for every VM and LXC in Proxmox, but it doesn’t seem like there’s a way to do it using APIs AFAIK (so Terraform is out of the question unless I’ve missed something) other than editing the template for the individual LXC/VM....

lupec ,

I don’t have much actual experience with it but you can run arbitrary shell commands in at least cloud-init, the others should be able to do the same. Maybe that could work? Definitely better than manually running scripts, at least.

lupec ,

Yeah, you’re probably right. I didn’t connect the dots that’s what you’d need here, my bad.

multimedia manager by series (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

is there a media server/manager that supports multiple types of media (i.e books, series, comics, etc) natively and allows media to be ordered by series? i came across this problem when trying to organize a series in my media collection that contains movies, series and books; i tried searching for a solution on jellyfin...

lupec ,

It’s not a feature I’ve used myself but I’m pretty sure you can create Jellyfin playlists and collections spanning different libraries, so that could work if you’re okay with some manual curation

lupec ,

Turns out most were seemingly glad to comply when Netflix pulled that bs so I’ll be legitimately shocked if most major streaming services don’t follow suit within the next few months. I’m glad my seafaring ass hasn’t had to deal with that kind of annoyance in years lol.

lupec ,

Lol I appreciate your self awareness! That sounds just like the kind of questionable idea that’d be great for a joke GitHub repo, if nothing else.

lupec ,

I use Proxmox, running a mix of regular and NixOS based LXCs. One of those also runs Docker for simpler services.

Issue: Audio resumes before logged in to desktop

Hi there, I’m new to Nix - but i’m not sure if this is a Nix or a KDE specific issue or not. So basically I just opened my laptop this morning, and whilst typing in my password, the audio from the movie I was watching (via Jellyfin) started to play before I had actually logged in. I assume this is the system getting things...

lupec , (edited )

Some quick research on my end seems to suggest there’s a setting for that scenario in advanced power settings called “Pause media players when suspending”, I’d try that before anything else

Edit: As for why it happens, assuming it woke up from suspension/hibernation, for the most part programs are going to pick up exactly where they left off unless the system goes out of its way to tell them to perform some action (in this case, pausing). Since your lock screen is pretty much “on top” of the entire running system, so to speak, it results in the behavior you’re experiencing.

lupec ,

No worries!

The check box for this settings was infact already checked. So maybe if I change what happens when I close the lid, from sleeping to hibernation or something else this could fix this maybe?

Ah, I see. Guess you may as well give that a go. I’m guessing what might be going on here is KDE doesn’t count it as a media player for whatever reason. Are you using Jellyfin in a browser or with the dedicated Jellyfin Media Player app?

lupec ,

Right. I’m a fellow Jellyfin + NixOS user so I’ll try and investigate if I manage to find some time over the next few days. I’ll report back if I find anything of note!

lupec ,

I just came across this GitHub issue and sure enough, it seems to confirm my theory. Since it doesn’t show on KDE’s media center, it probably doesn’t know to pause it before going to sleep.

I saw at least one person with your exact issue, and a few suggested workarounds but not sure how easy it’d be to apply them to an actual Nix derivation. I’ll keep looking into it. 🤔

lupec ,

I second home-manager, it was my Nix gateway drug and I can’t recommend it enough!

lupec ,

People abusing that is also often brought up as a reason or at least excuse for publishers to bleed developing countries dry when it comes to pricing, ask me how I know :/

lupec ,

I wouldn’t say unusable but NVIDIA definitely makes things way more painful than they ought to be with their closed source drivers and general stubbornness to support newer technologies under Linux, see Wayland. Mint’s generally older packages also might be working against you.

In my experience, I’ve had the smoothest experiences with gaming focused/adjacent distros which just include the NVIDIA drivers out of the box, such as Nobara or Bazzite. Those just work for the most part with no user intervention, and you don’t even have to think about it.

lupec ,

My understanding as a NixOS user is a lot of its fundamentals are very strongly coupled to systemd. It’s responsible for things like running system activation scripts and managing any services it exposes options to, so replacing it sounds like a tall order.

I’m not aware of any Nix-based alternatives, but I’d definitely welcome them! Oh and also, as others have pointed out, Guix might fit the bill depending on your needs.

lupec ,

It really does, I need to check it out sometime!

lupec ,

I overshare my Nix setup at the slightest hint it could be relevant and I also feel like I’ve shilled Bazzite at least once basically every week or so ever since I created this account, but I guess I’ll settle for second place 😛

Joking aside, thanks for sharing, that was a great read. Good for newcomers and skepticals alike IMO, I’ll keep it handy!

lupec ,

I’ve been thinking about that. It’s the one walled garden I don’t mind, I’ve poured shameful amounts into it but the thought is always there in the background that it can’t go on like this forever.

At the end of the day I don’t mind too much and just try to enjoy it while it lasts, since worst comes to worst I’ll just have to sacrifice some convenience and dive back into full-time piracy to regain access to the vast majority of the content anyway. The wonders of an open platform!

lupec ,

Since you want a just works deal, I’d go with a ublue based immutable distro, my favorite is Bazzite. You can pick between KDE and Gnome, and change between them cleanly at any point. User apps auto update in the background, your system also updates while it’s running and you only need to reboot to apply. If anything ever goes wrong, you have painless rollbacks. All that with up-to-date fedora packages and kernel.

I’ve been running it on my deck for a while now and it’s never let me down so far, really pleasant experience. It generally keeps out of your way and takes care of the chores while still allowing you to mess around if you want.

lupec ,

I haven’t actually finished DD1 but that’s 100% on my attention span, it’s an amazing game and I’m super excited for the sequel! Never played anything quite like it, the way you explore and how dark and terrifying nighttime is will always stick with me. I started on that hard difficulty setting way back when, forgot what it’s called, and it was a really fun ride right up to the point I suddenly stopped playing for no particular reason I can recall.

Oh and it’s got some of the coolest spells I’ve ever seen in a game. Take something like the tornado spell. Most games would hand you a moderately sized green wind burst or something and call it a day, DD actually gives you what feels like a city destroying one you take ages to cast lol. Most of the ones I remember are like that and I love them so much.

Steam input gyro aiming feels great

Following this tutorial, I tried gyro aiming on my Dualsense controller, which has analog triggers and gyroscopic motion controls. I set gyro to act as mouse, activated by a right trigger soft pull. If you use Steam with a controller I highly recommend this; it gives you almost as much control as a mouse and keyboard! Along with...

lupec ,

My feelings exactly, I can only hope the leaked Sebile controller does come to exist as a finished product someday. Gyro and proper haptic feedback would basically put it on par with the Dualsense sans touchpad and it’d mean all major platforms have gyro available by default.

lupec ,

Taking a closer look, you’re right. I was fooled by the headline there, serves me right for not double checking 😅. As a Wii owner back in the day I’m all too familiar with the limitations of accelerometer only controllers so that’s massively disappointing.

I’ll probably be sticking to playstation controllers for the foreseeable future anyhow for how feature packed they are, just wish gyro became more widespread.

lupec ,

Yup, that’d be fantastic! We also probably wouldn’t have to choose between gyro and analog triggers when it comes to third party controllers and their usual Switch Pro Controller/xinput modes if that became a thing.

lupec ,

The way companies try and upsell retro games rarely ever wins me over, so I just stick to emulation on my Deck, whatever pocketable emulation device I own at the moment and PC 99% of the time. I’m a technical user and I have no qualms with pirating unrealistically priced or hard to access content, so the barrier of entry is basically zero to me. The only collections and such that catch my eye are the ones with additional QoL features, good supplementary material, stuff like that. I don’t even mean basic features like filters, scaling options, save states or rewinding, RetroArch probably does it better anyway, I mean things I wouldn’t be able to get otherwise like added difficulty settings or expanded content.

The perfect examples of what I’m looking for are things like Atari 50 and The Making of Karateka. Unrealistic to expect of most, granted, but the gold standard as far as I’m concerned. A good, more vanilla example is the Mega Man Battle Network collections, since they have proper online play and content that was previously Japan only.

lupec ,

Others have brought up open source solutions already so on a different note I’ll say I’ve used the (closed source and paid) Insync client successfully in the past, and it worked fine. An interesting bonus is you can have it on both Windows and Linux pointing to the same set of files if you dual boot and it’s supposed to work just fine.

lupec ,

Not OP but that’s good to know, thanks for the heads-up!

lupec ,

Best Brazilian representation in gaming bar none tbh, love the guy

lupec ,

Going by how OP worded their comment, I can’t imagine they’re too enthused about homosexuality being acknowledged as a stable sexual orientation either

lupec , (edited )

Right you are, I didn’t mean to gatekeep. More of a subtle dig at the IMO out of place bigotry on display on the original comment.

lupec ,

Haha you’re good, thanks for the heads-up! I just assumed I’d missed some sort of controversy lol
