zingo,

Valorant is a fucking awful game with über ban techniques when you force quit a game for some reason, like needing to go to the bathroom in middle of game play.

I can’t understand anyone can accept such a thing.

zingo,

Yep. The world is full of trash, that’s for sure.

zingo,

Interesting!

zingo,

Even Hillery knows that one.

Come on!

/s

zingo,

Shotgun approach I see.

zingo, (edited )

Starter edition - with no option of changing wallpaper and a 3 app multitask limitation.

Proprietary telemetry built into the kernel.

…Microsoft will die on that hill.

;)

zingo,

Worthful quality lifehack right there.

It’s the little things that makes all the difference.

zingo,

Yes. Another product from Zorin Industries.

zingo,

Still not going back to Windows!

LOL!

zingo,

Spin up a Windows VM in Linux for those apps.

Or at least dual boot if you are into Linux.

Or at a minimum put Linux on another device with older hardware…

;(

zingo, (edited )

The new kernel driver 545 is constantly throwing error on cold boot. It will reach a workable desktop though.

If I reboot after the cold boot, the driver loads normally without error.

This is the first time I see information at startup about the nVidia driver loading.

Edit: I’ll just buy a AMD card next time and be done with this crap.

Also on a side note, I can’t even logon to a Wayland session, like ever. The desktop is black with only the cursor and after a couple of seconds Kwin always crashes.

I’ll stay on x11 for now.

zingo,

Yeah. Going with freetube desktop app (flatpak) on Linux.

No slowdown here.

zingo,

Just give me a black screen and a white blinking cursor, I know how to do the rest from there.

That’s exactly what happens on opensuse when I log into to Wayland. Kwin also crashes 100 % of the time. I’m using a 1050ti.

So my default is always x11.

Can you shed a little light how to fix the Wayland issue.

Thank you.

Edit. I misread your post. Its not the command line but the GUI. Also its a black screen with a mouse cursor followed by a kwin crash.

zingo,

Yes, the Infinity for Reddit fork.

The cool thing is that I just imported my settings from IFR to Eternity flawlessly.

zingo,

Is that Paul from “Paul’s Hardware”?

zingo, (edited )

Nice!

Get those f*ckers!

However, the latest trend in the EU, is to pave way for a legislation to intercept encrypted messages on a government mass surveillance scale level.

They can achieved this by (pre)installing MTM (man-in-the-middle) software on new devices. Or require a user to install a (Trojan) app on their phone to be able to access a particular public service etc.

Now, That’s troubling news indeed.

Edit: The EU is turning into a police state.

zingo,

Yes, tech enthusiasts are a minority and most people are tech illiterate.

zingo,

Can’t even login on my desktop on Wayland. Kwin crashes immediately.

I have a 1050ti BTW X11 runs like a champ.

zingo,

Too bad it slow as molasses on my older phone, while Cromite is a snappy endeavor.

I would prefer Firefox than chromium on phone as well, but it’s just a bad experience.

zingo,

It’s free If you copy one command into powershell.

From there you can even create a shortcut on the desktop.

zingo,

IPhone scans your photos even!

They say its to protect the children.

LOL!!

Facebook Puts a Price on Privacy in EU, EEA and Switzerland: It’s 9.99€ a Month + 6€ for Each Extra Account (www.wired.com)

Ad free Facebook and Instagram is officially on. I’m trying to stay open minded but honestly it’s too expensive especially with this sneaky account center rule unless you’re in an unfortunate position where you need to spend a lot of time on these platforms....

zingo,

I never had a facebook account.

Swear to God.

zingo,

Yeah, my exact feelings as well.

Why on earth would I advertise my life to a bunch of strangers.

Before FB, IRC was the thing with nicknames - all text based, as you mentioned.

Those were the days.

zingo,

You might as well go the whole way for desktop supremacy! ;)

zingo,

Firefox for the win. Or Librewolf even better.

zingo,

Well some sacrifices has to be done.

I use an add on called “Dark background, white text” or something like that. Less bloated than Dark Reader.

Has to be somewhat usable while privacy oriented.

zingo,

After the war, the Ucranian flag will have a drone painted in the center.

zingo,

Urbackup - Set and forget.

zingo,

…or extracting the decryption key from RAM.

Moral of the story:

Always shutdown the computer when you are not using it, kids.

zingo,

Sorry, but wouldn’t you need 2 video cards for that to work?

One for regular desktop and one for the VM to access to game properly?? (GPU pass though)

Edit: Or does it work on Intel CPUs aa the desktop could use the igpu while the windows VM uses the dedicated one?

Ryzen users is shit outta luck if that’s true. Ramming 2 dedicated GPUs in one computer might be a more expensive affair.

zingo,

OpenSuse Tumbleweed is an excellent choice, if you want the most stable rolling release distro.

High quality OS.

Google Chrome to soon get a new ‘IP protection’ feature: Here’s what it does (indianexpress.com)

Google will soon start testing a new ‘IP protection’ feature for Chrome users, offering them greater control over their privacy. The tech giant the upcoming feature prevents websites from tracking users by hiding their IP address using proxy servers owned by Google....

zingo, (edited )

Looks like a great business plan to me.

Edit: Firefox is a great option for more privacy.

Librewolf is a hardened fork of Firefox, but not for everyone. Although I am very happy with it personally.

zingo,

This is what I have been doing for years on my Synology box.

Just a handful of Synology apps (mostly backup and snapshot apps) and all the rest of the ecosystem running in Docker. So the main system is bloatfree.

On Linux desktop, mostly flatpaks installations.

zingo,

Yeah, the input thread priority sounds cool and it would be nice on KDE as well, but if you have a faster computer than a potato, I’ll guess you won’t be needing that kind of “optimization”.

zingo,

Man, if you really value your privacy you shouldn’t use WhatsApp (difficult of course as everyone uses it)

and social media (difficult as everyone use it), except for Lemmy, Mastodon or Signal !!

Privacy is not an easy path as it’s against the whole mainstream society.

But its worth embracing, because it’s a human right, even if it’s not “comfortable” doing so.

Edit: there is of course other ways of communication like regular phone calls or sending SMS instead of WhatsApp messages. So feel free to liberate yourself.

zingo, (edited )

I have been running a Synology NAS, 416 play with a Celeron n3060 (I think) dual core with 8GB ram.

It runs all my docker services (around 20) with no issues. Containers are more RAM bound than CPU. Uses about 40-45 ℅ of the RAM.

The only limit is when transcoding as suppose to Direct playing a movie. Then it really taxes the CPU. But I don’t really watch movies so its a non issue.

So a NAS doesn’t need a beefy CPU if used as a file server. Can be tricky if you run Plex on it though depending on your codecs.

This is a rant about ASUS and their RGB lighting software

Back in the day, I knew what I would get from ASUS and their AURA tech. Pretty simple, just choose what you want and go. My LEDs did what I wanted, it was simple. But no… no they said. Instead we want you to download most of a gig of bullshit to do the same thing, but with extra fucking steps....

zingo,

Its still Windows. Even with RGB lipstick, it’s still a pig.

Have any of you used Tailscale's AirDrop alternative Taildrop? (tailscale.com)

I just discovered it today and I’m considering setting it up to use instead of LocalSend. Have any of you used TailDrop before? I don’t use TailScale so I’m not really sure I want to set it up just for sending files from my phone to my PC but the share menu options does seem convenient and it would be cool to be able to...

zingo,

Its available as a flatpak for all Distros.

Cyberpunk runs 30% faster on linux than on windows 11 (m.youtube.com)

The YouTube channel “Maximum Fury” conducted a technical test of the new Cyberpunk add-on called “Phantom Liberty” on an older AMD hardware system, testing it separately on Linux and Windows 11. The Linux system, specifically the Fedora distribution called Nobara, performed significantly better, delivering 31% more...

zingo,

Btw!

zingo,

Eternity - The new name of Infinity for Lemmy, which is a fork from Infinity for Reddit.

I even have imported my settings from the original.

zingo,

“Like a chump, hey, like a chump…”

zingo,

You should uninstall the Nvidia drivers for better stability and to make updates a bit faster.

Is that all?

Coming from Windows, where you should either nuke the install or use DDU in safe mode when changing vendors, for smooth sailing to paradise.

zingo,

Yeah I figured.

I’m running a nvidia card on my main rig which runs Linux.

I’m in the thought process of acquiring an AMD Card, so my question was more of a doubt when uninstalling the nvidia drivers so nothing (dependencies etc) is left on the system. Maybe you don’t have to baby Linux as windows need. I’m new here by the way ;)

Thus my reflection about Windows, where’s uninstalling the drivers, don’t get rid of all the junk unless you jump through hoops that I mentioned above. Otherwise you might get bit by conflicts.

zingo,

Abandonware?

Signal is Flawed, Why XMPP is Amazing! (new animated video) (monero.town)

Some will curse me out for discussing decentralization and freedom. I am NOT saying the average person should be concerned with CIA spying. What I’m saying is that one should promote decentralized internet infrastructures that empower the individual over corrupt institutions, even though this threat model likely does not apply...

zingo,

Yes. The number one hurdle is to get common folks off WhatsApp. Good luck with that.

So the most liable option to substitute WhatsApp is Signal, which has a somewhat big (not huge) user base, but the probability of that happening is slim to none.

Telegram is even more used than Signal but don’t trust it for total privacy and its used for funny business.

Then coming in on 4th place, you have the rest like Matrix, Briar etc. You might get your best friend to use it, but that’s about it.

zingo,

That’s what I do on my external drive. Used to use Windows so bitlocker it was with NTFS.

Now on Linux I just use it normally as its recognized without any problem.

I’m sure as hell not gonna erase my data to inplant veracrypt just for the sake of it.

For future drives, veracrypt it is.

zingo,

Yeah, I was talking about external harddrives and sticks.
