flashgnash,

I don’t know why I just love the random underlining and his expression

flashgnash,

I hate that the solution for them is to try to lock down users’ own machines rather than trying to secure their own servers with server side anticheat

Goes against the whole philosophy of never trusting the clientside

flashgnash,

No amount of clientside anticheat software can stop that either though, anything running on the clientside can be faked/manipulated with enough effort

Also you could argue someone could simply plug in another device that takes a video input and can simulate a keyboard and mouse

On the server side, you could check for abnormalities in a person’s stats, for example if they get >90% headshots, if they’re getting a lot of kills outside a weapon’s normal range, amount of time aiming at enemies through walls that they shouldn’t be able to see etc etc

Then, once someone is suspicious enough, flag it up to a human moderator who can watch them and verify

Not saying there shouldn’t be any clientside anticheat at all but at the point of the anticheat putting itsself in kernel space it’s gone too far

flashgnash,

Burger king has never seemed like a place I’d voluntarily go as a vegetarian. Tried walking in once and the smell alone made me turn around and go elsewhere

flashgnash,

I find YouTube unfortunately to be the best at grabbing my attention

They’ve cracked the code with their UX to make it as addictive as humanly possible

Open YouTube to watch a long form video, get shown about 5 shorts per one video and inevitably end up seeing something interesting in a short, then end up scrolling for way too long on your very own skinner box

flashgnash,

What about a WiFi enabled printer with Bluetooth support

flashgnash,

So what you’re saying is we’re already 9 layers deep in hell

If you want to automate your system install Nix is a good one to look at, nowadays when I use a new system/wipe an existing one I can just install NixOS drop my config, sign into the things that need signing into and go

Obviously doesn’t work as well if you’re trying other distros but you can still use it on them

flashgnash,

They have a getting started guide on their wiki I believe

Once you install it it should generate a config file in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix, the way I did it was reading that and figuring it out from there. (That file is your universal source of truth for your entire system)

You can install packages/software by adding them to the systemPackages block in the file and running sudo nixos-rebuild switch and you can find pretty much anything you need on nixos.org/nixos/packages.html

Also the community is pretty friendly, can generally get your questions answered on lemmy/matrix

flashgnash,

On the contrary it being open source is the only way I’d ever put a chip in my brain.

Hell no I don’t want proprietary code running with access to my brain that I don’t have complete control and knowledge of

Just look at how much sneaky crap is in smartphones already

flashgnash,

Provided you don’t want to play one of the few games that refuse to enable Linux support on their anticheat I’ve found my PC can run games designed to run on windows far more smoothly now than they ever did on windows

flashgnash,

If it’s a VPS you could just use tailscale until it’s sorted

flashgnash,

Looks nice to me, feels a lot cleaner

flashgnash,

Domino’s is expensive, delicious addictive shit that’s always available on short notice

Great in an emergency, probably not very good for you though

flashgnash,

Assuming that’s dollars and not pounds that’s alright, but often if I’m getting Domino’s it’s delivery for one reason or another and that often ends up expensive, especially if you want to customise it

flashgnash,

FancyWM

If I absolutely have to use windows it works pretty well in letting me keep my workflow from Linux along with some hotkeys for cycling virtual desktops

flashgnash,

Having tried NTFS, ext4 and btrfs, the difference is not noticeable (though NTFS is buggy on Linux)

Btrfs I believe has compression built in so is good for large libraries but realistically ext4 is the easiest and simplest way to do so I just use that nowadays

flashgnash,

That’s in the works still right now, steam deck has it and I think it’s possible to get it working on other distros but isn’t on by default in most I don’t think

flashgnash,

Made infinitely more entertaining by the fact they’re all more or less the same under the hood with minor differences packed ontop of the same Linux kernel

flashgnash,

If you’re willing to go through some setup you can make a dual booted system, then boot the windows install in a VM inside the Linux one for anything that doesn’t require absolutely all the performance, switch over to booting bare metal only when necessary

You can also run Linux on integrated graphics and pass in the GPU to windows for more performance in a VM

flashgnash,

You can do this on Linux pretty easily, just rig a keyboard shortcut via whatever mechanism your desktop environment provides to run something like pactl mute @DEFAULT_SOURCE

flashgnash,

Is there any reason you can’t just mute your mic entirely and need to specifically mute it for one tab?

flashgnash,

At that point what’s the point of doing it? I can’t imagine that even pays for the petrol

CLI Editors with Distrobox?

How do you all handle this? I’m going to start poking around with NixOS but anticipate Python dev to be impossible on the base OS, so curious what sorts of options y’all use when connecting your configured editor to a container- e.g. if I have Neovim configured in my host, is it better to re-set-up Neovim again with the same...

flashgnash,

Python is easy on NixOS, you just need to use python venvs and you can use pip like normal

(python -m venv .venv) to create the venv (only need to do once per project)

.venv/bin/activate to enable the venv (Vscode should do this automatically if you create the venv through the python extension)

Then just pip install to your heart’s content

(Probably a good idea to pip freeze > requirements.txt every time you install a new library too to make it reproducible

Also you should probably add the venv directory to gitignore if you’re using git as it’ll add a lot of crap to source control that can be easily regenerated from the requirements.txt

flashgnash,

I find the main issue is that for it to be loud enough to be clear over the shower (audiobook) it has to be loud enough that I worry it’ll annoy my neighbours upstairs/my flatmate

flashgnash,

I have to disagree with this, with home-manager you can pretty much put just put your normal config files inside your NixOS config and map them into wherever they’re meant to go, except now they’re managed by nix

The built in config options are really nice but you don’t have to use them in the slightest as long as the package itsself is in nixpkgs

flashgnash,

I’ve definitely had it wake me up the first time I drank it, was grumpy and tired late in the evening, had a shot of espresso and was bouncing off the walls

flashgnash,

Depends on whose organs you’re donating

flashgnash,

Honestly the double standards these days

Made the switch to KDE

I’ve been using Fedora for a couple of months now, and have been loving it. Very soon after I jumped into this community (among other Linux communities) and started laughing at all the people saying “KDE rules, GNOME drools,” and “GNOME is better, KDE is for babies.” But then I thought, “Why not give KDE a try? The...

flashgnash,

Gnome and KDE are both great for different reasons. One of the things that’s great about Linux as a whole is it gives people the ability to choose the stack they like most

flashgnash,

Glad to know teams isn’t just the bane of my existence on linux

flashgnash,

From what I gather teams-for-linux still uses the web version doesn’t it? Would that not be subject to all the same problems?

flashgnash,

Might give it another go then, the problem for me is not that it doesn’t work, but that it doesn’t work reliably though

Have been using it as a PWA and half the time it forgets I gave it mic permissions or resets my audio settings/doesn’t even recognise my mic in the first place

flashgnash,

Edge I haven’t tried yet. Have been trying to use degoogled chromium where I can but that’s a battle I might have to give up on in this case

flashgnash,

Did you know teams personal exists and they’ve added features to it for gaming? Why anyone would voluntarily use teams I will never understand

flashgnash,

I guess so, have never heard of anyone actually using it but it’s built into windows so someone probably will at some point

Laptop not working after installing nimdow

I have installed nimdow window manager. I have auto-login enabled. Nimdow is the default option. The only options I have at boot are (from the bootloader): default, timeout, edit, resolution, print and help (help is not working). How am I supposed to go back to GNOME or disable auto-login? I tried accessing the recovery shell,...

flashgnash,

Just be ready to have to lean on the community a lot to begin with

flashgnash,

I don’t think OP is looking to remote into servers here, personally for servers ssh is great but for accessing my laptop from desktop/vice versa the terminal can be a bit awkward when there are applications with no cli behind them which is where a graphical remote desktop comes in handy

Spam calls and texts are driving me fing crazy anyone have suggestions?

After repeated data breaches that no company really seems to give a s— about my phone is blowing up with literally hundreds of spam calls and texts month. I get and make MAAAAYBE 2 or 3 important calls per month, 180-200 of the rest are literally all spam. Anyone have any suggestions, apps ect that they have found refuge with?...

flashgnash,

I find if you answer their calls and fuck with them for a bit they tend to stop calling

It depends if you’ve injured yourself, you can generally tell when pain is from a workout and when it’s from an injury

Generally you can ignore the acheyness and get on with your day, it will rarely impede you other than a little discomfort

That said, not a good idea to attempt to exercise that muscle again until the ache is gone

flashgnash,

You try going fast

And end up going slowly

Bikes might be faster

flashgnash,

Hallmark red and hallmark blue. There are certain characters you can only get through trading with someone who watched the other film

flashgnash,

Unfortunately this doesn’t really work for me, the ideal use case is either have reader mode automatically enable where firefox thinks it should be able to (which is not always that accurate anyway)

Alternatively I might look into making an extension that just has a whitelist of all the sites/domains to use it on that everyone can contribute to

flashgnash,

It’s also Nvidia and will bring pain and suffering trying to game on linux

flashgnash,

But it’s really funny to watch, especially if both of them are wrong and won’t back down

flashgnash,

It’s a lovely day, and you are a horrible goose
