This just stops working on either my Linux laptop or my phone randomly. I’ll need to kill the process and restart it Does anyone know how I can fix this? Battery optimisations are turned off on the phone.

nerdschleife ,

Sorry, I meant optimisations for KDE Connect in particular. It has a persistent notification enabled as well.

nerdschleife ,

Does the Infinity Reddit app still work?

nerdschleife ,

Does this charge the Dev for the credits we use? I have no issues patching Spotify or YouTube tho

nerdschleife ,

More AI in places where a standard algorithm would prove more useful. Look at how effective iPhone locking is compared to android. I switch Roms on my android and often don’t even get the prompt to prove my ownership after resetting the phone.

nerdschleife ,

Stop making massive phones! I would buy a moto if they made at least one model that fit in a normal person’s hands

nerdschleife ,

Or the least tendency to deal with whatever the corpos throw at us?

nerdschleife ,

Not available in my country sadly. The pixel 4A was the last small phone here

nerdschleife ,

I’ve got one of these, for work. I adore the compactness.

They’re all the weak man’s idea of a strong man

Newish user migrating to Linux

I have been using Arch Linux with i3wm for around 5 years for work, on my ThinkPad. I am fairly comfortable with pacman and setting up a distro. I have previously tried Mint, Manjaro, KDE Neon, Elementary, and MX Linux, all for the same use case (Work: where I need a browser, Slack, and a MongoDB GUI)....

nerdschleife OP ,

I’ve found the package manager to be infuriatingly slow

nerdschleife OP ,

Will take a look at this as well.

nerdschleife OP ,

I do use krita / gimp on my laptop for quick edits. I’m not a professional by any means, the time sunk into learning these in depth isn’t really worth it for me.

nerdschleife OP ,

Always the high seas for me and corporations

nerdschleife OP ,

I’ve had instances where the system breaks,usually when I don’t update for a while. I don’t want to face that on my ‘stable’ machine

nerdschleife OP ,

Thank you for the detailed reply. I am not too bothered with PS and the rest working natively or with gpu acc (I don’t do advanced work) but I’ll save this for later

nerdschleife OP ,

Manjaro is a distro I’ve given up on. Broke itself twice for me. I much prefer Endeavour OS or Arco (shout-out to that excellent community)

nerdschleife ,

I’m afraid there is no quick way to get an honest recommendation. I usually resort to YouTube and spend 2-3 days watching some related content. It sorta filters itself out, there will be a creator or few that you vibe with, and you trust their choice.

Happened to me with audio gear (I trusted crinacle, for example.)

What's a good piece of hardware to run a jellyfin server?

I’m wanting to set up my external Seagate drive with all my media on it to run a jellyfin server but I’m not sure which device to use. I’m thinking a raspberry pi but I’m not sure which one. From what I can tell from running the server on my laptop it is fairly CPU intensive for lower end systems...

nerdschleife ,

I use a raspberry pi 4 with 3 simultaneous sessions sometimes. Direct play, it works fine. It can’t transcode at all, though.

nerdschleife ,

It’s been 2 decades since grandma bought a pc

nerdschleife ,

Had you installed the native programs or everything on docker?

nerdschleife ,

I faced this without an OS installed, my storage wasn’t encrypted. Something to do with orangefox, because twrp worked normally.

nerdschleife ,

Plus Google doing all they can to make rooting harder. Beginning to think it isn’t worth it anymore. I definitely need it now to get rid of the horrid MIUI skin, but for my next phone I might just go for one with a stockish skin and keep it as is.

nerdschleife ,

I work around 45 hours a week and earn around 35,000 rupees monthly. Translates to around 5k USD yearly. This is on the lower end for someone working in tech (I’m in QA, not a dev), developers can expect from 6k to 24k USD on average. They are also expected to reach work harder, though. There are exceptions to this, obviously.

nerdschleife ,

Wouldn’t recommend Oneplus anymore.

At the high end, Samsung has been pretty solid with their S lineup. The FE models are a good compromise as well. Pixels are a hit or miss, I’d recommend waiting for issues to surface before deciding on the 8/8 pro.

On the more budget - midrange side of things, Motorola has been doing a fairly solid job. They do have a lot of models, so some youtube videos should give you a fair idea on what’s right for you.

nerdschleife ,

Severe inconsistent quality issues in both software and hardware, treating their customers as beta testers, random motherboards dying, etc.

They are still riding the ‘flagship killer’ wave, but they are just as overpriced as Samsung, while offering unfinished products.

nerdschleife ,

I’m losing it in the hospital corridor lmao

nerdschleife ,

A good general rule of thumb is to avoid the E and L series, and stick with the X, T or P series, or the X1 Carbons. Depending on your use case, choose one with the processor and display you want.

I have a T460 with linux on it that I use for work and it has been rock solid even when I spilled coffee on it.

nerdschleife ,

Would suggest jellyfin over Plex due to the latter’s increasing corporate greed.

  • Radar - for movies
  • Sonarr - for series
  • Prowlarr - for indexing

Optional:

  • Jellyseer - a nice frontend for the above
  • Bazarr - subtitles

This is a super simplified list, but the wikis are easy enough to get started with.

Edit: cjf has listed some useful links for the same

RethinkDNS got updated and it's amazing now (lemdro.id)

This is a secure dns and adblocker that has evolved into a great privacy app. Yesterday i noticed it has added support for Wireguard and TOR as well as proxy. The app comes with a customizable firewall. It means you can have secure dns combined with vpn/proxy and firewall in one app....

nerdschleife ,

Can this somehow be used in the Private DNS android setting?

nerdschleife ,

Manjaro. It just breaks itself randomly, and performs poorly. Endeavour / ARCO Linux are more stable

nerdschleife ,

Honestly straight arch was more stable for me. I barely knew anything about the AUR back then, I didn’t break it installing or tweaking anything. I just customised KDE a bit. I didn’t even have a dedicated GPU - I was using Intel integrated

nerdschleife ,

Isn’t catturd one of Elon’s greatest fanboys? Lmao


<span style="color:#323232;">I might be wrong on this though

nerdschleife ,

TKAMB is a must read.

Personally, I couldn’t get through Sapiens. Ikigai was great though, and it is pretty short.

nerdschleife ,

Damn site is nothing but AI generated garbage, just straight ads ripped and reworded into “articles”

nerdschleife , (edited )

The point isn’t the profit, the point is that a new, maybe secret prototype could have fallen into competitors hands. LMG made a thousand on it? The small, indepedent company that made the water block just lost their main product

nerdschleife ,

Sean Lock, Bob Saget, Norm MacDonald, Gilbert Gottfried, how many more did I miss?

nerdschleife ,

Saved you a click: it’s Motorola’s Moto G Stylus 5G (2023)

nerdschleife ,

Studio 3T over MongoDB Compass. Despite the comparatively dated UI, S3T is way more capable

nerdschleife ,

Lemmygrad is hilarious, but I’m rather confused by hexbear. I genuinely cannot fathom if they’re serious or trolling
