  • I've created a yet another Wine prefix manager

    Jump

  • I'll probably give this a try, thanks!

    But I'm confused about your explanation: you say you didn't wanna contribute to the existing project at you didn't know dart/flutter. Then you end up creating your project from scratch, using dart/flutter to learn dart/flutter. Why not just contribute to the existing project, or fork it, instead of reinventing the (same) wheel?

  • Google's latest reason to give them $14/month: "Watch in faster playback speeds with Premium"

    Jump

  • Nah I actually do care about the technical details, and that's the reason I watch the video. I can look up the price in like 3s myself and didn't need a video for that part.

  • Google's latest reason to give them $14/month: "Watch in faster playback speeds with Premium"

    Jump

  • Try watching videos by "explaining computers". Actually pretty good content (mostly on single board computers like raspberry pi), but he talks glacially. Normally I watch at 1.5x, this channel is one of just a few where I need to up it to 2x.

  • [Discussion] Have you experienced drift or other issues with your original Steam Deck thumb sticks? Also, people who have replaced their thumb sticks, how has your experience been?

    Jump

  • No drift yet, got an original 64gb basic edition. But I also barely use the thing, so that probably contributed to the longevity.

    I did swap the SSD basically as soon as I got it, was trivial. Thumb sticks aren't much harder as they are on daughter boards. Hard to fuck that up.

  • SparkyLinux 2025.12 Brings Kernel 6.17 and Updated Desktop ISOs

    Jump

  • Isn't PicaOS gamers Debian already?

  • Is audiophile bullshit cheating?

    Jump

  • In the same spirit, I don't know where I heard the quote, but it went someone like this:

    I use my headphones to listen to music, you use music to listen to your headphones.

    Could also be written across the "we are not the same" meme.

  • What DDNS providers you guys recommend?

    Jump

  • DuckDNS had been unreliable when I used it, but it's been a while. I swapped over to desec.io but their signups aren't always open. Can highly recommend them though, and they offer many paths to update the IP, including DynDNS(2) protocol or just ddclient.

    Also works with certbot for Let's encrypt certificates using dns challenge.

  • I upgraded to windows 11 by accidentally pressing spacebar on startup

    Jump

  • ESU runs until Oct '26. So those that can't or don't want to leave windows have that option.

  • Getting the right setup for Vaultwarden compose.yaml

    Jump

  • Never run something like Vaultwarden with unencrypted traffic. Throwing in a self signed cert is basically free insurance. You never know when even in your "trusted network" something starts listening in. Just why risk it?

  • Venturing into the world of black teas, I finally decided to try Earl Grey

    Jump

  • I heard him say in an interview that he tried to get the producers to let him use "Lapsang Souchong" (also a black tea), but they didn't go for it. I guess it was about something still ubiquitous enough so people would know it?

  • Random three-body problem (@threebodybot@mathstodon.xyz)

    Jump

  • Ok seriously, mathstodon has to be one of the greatest domain names of all time.

  • TUXEDO Gemini 17 Gen4 Debuts as Affordable Linux Desktop Replacement

    Jump

  • People seem to keep ignoring the part where I couldn't find any. Yes their naming sucks, but it won't say "Nnidia" next to the listing for the GPU, so that isn't the issue either.

    To go into a bit more detail: I was looking at linux-adjacent laptops (that I can buy without a Windows-license) up to 15" display, with gaming being a primary use case. This obviously includes that all components work with linux, and ideally it should ship with it. Preferably it should not be from one of the major brands (HP, Dell, Lenovo, ...), but if they got the linux compatiblity down, that would be fine. Finally it should have good repairability and allow me to open it to swap components (RAM, NVMe, ...) without affecting the warranty.

    So in the end I mostly looked at Tuxedo computers, Slimbook, SKIKK and one or two more where I can't remember the name. None of them have a laptop with AMD GPU at all, only iGPU. Furthermore, when you check the price comparison websites in the "notebook" category (like idealo for example) they let you filter for this sort of thing. Obviously they don't list every laptop that exists on the market, but they do list the popular brands (again HP, Dell, Lenovo, ...). When applying NO filters at all, there are over 6k laptops listed. Roughly 1500 of those have a dedicated Nvidia GPU. The total for AMD/Radeon? 16. yes. SIXTEEN.

    So I'm back to "functionally, they don't exist".

  • TUXEDO Gemini 17 Gen4 Debuts as Affordable Linux Desktop Replacement

    Jump

  • That is the iGPU, integrated into the processor. Of course they exist. I'm taking about dedicated, separate GPUs that are connected via PCIe. Like the mobile versions of Nvidias 4070 for example. I did look and search, but couldn't find a single example, so I concluded they don't exist.

    While iGPUs have come a long way, there is still quite the difference in performance compared to dedicated ones.

  • TUXEDO Gemini 17 Gen4 Debuts as Affordable Linux Desktop Replacement

    Jump

  • As far as I can tell, AMD doesn't make dedicated mobile chips. Or they are so uncommon that I couldn't find any laptop with it that is Linux-ready.

  • Open source and Smart Watches (no phone)? Advice needed

    Jump

  • Yes, but it isn't available (yet). The pebble 2 duo does not, but it has already shipped. I don't know how many are still available and/or will be made.

    Currently the app also has zero support for anything health-related, including sleep. If that will be fixed by the time the pt2 is shipping, who knows. This is probably not a huge problem for op, as he's explicitly searching for a watch without smartphone reliance.

    Even in the old app and on the old pebble watches, anything health related was an afterthought at best, and it also isn't a focus of it officially. The new ones are using the same OS, so are incredibly similar. Which is generally a good thing, but also includes the lack of features related to anything "health".

  • Open source and Smart Watches (no phone)? Advice needed

    Jump

  • The modern Pebble has no heart rate sensor, and generally no useful exercise monitoring.

  • Finally got my Linux laptop at work

    Jump

  • Teams actually has Linux builds on the AUR. Obviously they are wrapping the web version, but it does integrate much more nicely with the GUI. I'm running the version that uses your already installed electron. I don't have to use chrome for teams, which is the real upside for me.

    Will running 1 stick of 8gb ram be noticeably different than 2x4gb for just browsing and watching youtube?

    Jump

  • Don't buy anything by crucial, as you'll have trouble getting a 2nd stick in the future. They are shutting down their end user business.

  • Options for remote Wake-on-lan. Or I guess wake on WAN.

    Jump

  • Ssh over Internet is fine as long as it's properly setup (no password auth, root not allowed, etc.). Obviously a VPN is even better.
