Btrfs doesn’t have built in encryption, if you want to encrypt Btrfs you still need another layer (e.g. LUKS).

I made it to Linux! What is your must-have FOSS or Free Software for linux?

Thank you so much, comrades! I am feeling pretty comfortable with linux mint, and now would like some suggestions for some absolutely necessary FOSS or free license software for the OS. So far I have the standard, Firefox, ThunderBird, LibreOffice, yada yada. Thank you again to everyone on the linux comm! sankara-salute

  • syncthing - Sync files across internet, works very well
  • netdata - Very comprehensive monitoring software for servers
  • Firefox
  • wine - Without it (including proton) I couldn’t make the switch, it’s kind of a necessary evil but it’s not wine that’s the evil.
  • KDE Desktop - My personal preference, I used Ubuntu and Pop OS, gnome doesn’t suit me.

Tailscale server can also be self-hosted, look into headscale.

From my own experience, I still can’t setup headscale on my Android phone, I think latest tailscale APP fucked up setting custom server function. Don’t install from Google Play

axzxc1236,

You mean didn’t ?

axzxc1236,

I see 1823 as in the past when it’s currently 2023, didn’t know about that wasn’t a English word then .

axzxc1236,

Also recommend lowendspirit.com

AFAIK LET do shenanigans like requiring service providers to pay to create post there now.

Phoronix article: Coreboot Lands Support For The MSI PRO Z790-P Motherboards

On Dasharo (who worked on support for MSI boards) has pre-flashed motherboard for sale on their website, but looking at the price it’s expensive, but it comes with some support.

axzxc1236,

Syncthing has built-in file history function, it’s not enabled by default but it’s easy to configure.

axzxc1236,

When I started playing Horizon zero dawn, for first dozen hours I was in the state that fears the machines and sneaks everywhere.

Aloy’s voice still terrifies me, I wish there was an option to turn off her random monologues.

Yes, rx 7800 xt. I can confirm DRI_PRIME does switch to integrated GPU on demand

do you also have a dedicated graphics card?

Yes, rx 7800 xt

My worry s that playing a 1080P video need 30 watts (assuming amdgpu_top is not wrong), I would like to move that workload to integrated GPU, which I enabled in BIOS.

Thank you for your answer, I can confirm by switching to VA-API it lowers my power usage by a lot (from 45 to 20~21 watts reported).

axzxc1236,

Through some more testing, I found out mesa related hardware acceleration package can cause these power surge, on Archlinux it includes mesa-vdpau and libva-mesa-driver.

If I don’t have these package installed, VLC reverts to libplacebo which doesn’t seem to cause more power usage.

axzxc1236,

Turns out in my case it’s mesa driver causing my problem, after removing mesa’s VA-API and VDPAU drivers VLC can still play things just fine, CPU is at 2~3%.

axzxc1236,

The problem has been solved, it’s caused by mesa’s video decoding package, I will answer anyway.

Yes, VCN (Video Core Next) column stays at constant value while playing video (3% for VA-API with mesa, 5% for VDPAU with mesa, 0% for libplacebo), GFX fluctuates between 0% and 1%.

Just playing a 1080P video (not even a high bit rate one) is enough to make GPU fan go spinning, disappointing.

axzxc1236,

When source code is lost or unavailable.

axzxc1236,

This is a set seed speedrun, first attempt failed (caught by cobweb) so the streamer used mod to reset speedrun.

The stronghold is that close to spawn, I checked that myself with seed in description.

When ender dragon hit the player, the speed can be transfered to arrow if you time it correctly, so one shot ender dragon is possible. (expatiation video is linked in video description)

axzxc1236,

There is a “point” in ender dragon’s hitbox, when player gets close to it gives the player very high velocity, by shooting an arrow before player gets damaged and go flying, the velocity is transferred to the arrow, one shot the ender dragon.

minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/End_portal#Generation

Each individual end portal frame block has a 10% chance of containing an eye of ender, as determined by the world seed. This means there is a one in 1 trillion chance for all 12 end portal frames to contain an eye of ender,

axzxc1236,

I never thought about using instant messaging platform… and that makes so much sense I feel stupid.

axzxc1236,

distributed forum.

Some boards in one server, some boards in another server, glued by miracle someone’s hardwork.

axzxc1236,

I will give a version of event that I have observed, simplified (a lot of things glossed over), and maybe inaccurate.

  1. LinusTechTips (one of their employees) criticized Hardware Unboxed and Gamers Nexus do banchmark videos in a lab tour video (on MurfsGaming channel), HUB fight back on Twitter(X), Linus (the owner of LMG) double down in their WAN show saying some creators are unprofessional, this leads to Gamers Nexus doing a long video point out how unprofessional LTT is (many errors in their videos).
  2. In Gamers Nexus’s video, they shared a story that a company send their working prototype for LTT to review, but LTT doing the testing wrong (use the prototype with incompatible hardware), then sold the prototype for charity when they have been requested to send it back twice, screwing the startup company on top of giving inaccurate test results.
  3. Linus (the owner of LMG) fight back in forum post with no apology (basically spraying gasoline on fire) and made up fake event saying they have already agreed to compensate the startup company.
  4. Gamers Nexus says in their next video that they communicated with the startup company and LTT only contacted them two hours after previous Gamers Nexus’s published, debunked Linus’s claim that they already made a deal to compensate the startup company.
  5. An ex-employee publicly talking about the time she works at LMG, bait-and-switch working contract after she moving all the way where LMG is, sexism, sexual harassment, threats, unhealthy work environment.
axzxc1236,

People that switched from Reddit.

axzxc1236,

For my last self-made program, I just wrote a config.py, and call import config from other code files and write my config in Python.

axzxc1236,

Not who you replied to, but I can guess what they are trying to say:

If you only download new torrents, there is a high chance someone have opened their port, thus allow you to download without open a port.

If you want older / not popular torrent, it’s different story.
