He has a fancy current gen MacBook Pro that he uses for his stuff. Then when it’s lesson time he whips out a windows 95 netbook and a daisy chain of adapters from VGA to thunderbolt.
I mean at that point you gotta admire the tenacity
Ext4 is gonna be the fastest for general daily use. The extra utility of copy on write filesystems is stuff like efficient snapshot backups, optional compression at rest for your files, and really really fast copy operations.
AMD’s drivers are fully FOSS and built into Mesa, whereas Nvidia’s are closed source, so yes, AMD GPUs are more reliable and less of a hassle on Linux. However, Mint makes dealing with Nvidia drivers easy, so it’s honestly your call there.

entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.orgto sdfpubnix@lemmy.sdf.org•is lemmy.sdf.org running poorly for anyone else?2·4 days agoYeah, it’s been slow. Maybe we can get them to update the Lemmy version while they’re at it. Lots of performance improvements in newer versions
Depends on their musculature

It also has the car infotainment as an app in the app list, at the top of the list by default.
entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.orgtohomelab@lemmy.ml•Slow networking speeds in my homelab from outside1·5 days agoIt’s possible that the lower max speed could be caused by a number of things. First of all, do you have IPv6 enabled? I don’t know about your ISP, but mine has an issue where using IPv6 causes dropped packets on uploads. Disabling IPv6 in the router fixed that for me.
Another possibility is that there could be a slow peering connection between your internet provider and your friend’s, even if it’s the same company, there could be congestion between the specific nodes depending on the time of day.

entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.orgto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How big is your media library?English4·5 days ago1,028 movies
517 shows (20,702 episodes)
Shows are all 1080p or lower except a couple seasons of select shows in 4k. Movies are 4k HDR when it’s available, otherwise best quality I can find.
I use Jellyfin because of the client apps and FOSS nature.
I tend to prefer HEVC/h.265 encodings for the strong trade off between player compatibility and smaller size for the quality level, but h264 and AV1 are also both in my library. I don’t reencode anything except through the Jellyfin server transcoding.
entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.orgto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•"Tuesday" which sounds like "twos-day" is day number 2 in the week whether you one-index and start your week on Monday *or* zero-index and start your week on Sunday.15·5 days agoIt’s from Tyr, the Norse god. Originally closer to Tyr’s day, hence the odd spelling relative to the pronunciation.
Likewise we have (W)Odin’s Day, Thor’s Day, Frigg’s Day, and Saturn-Day. Of course there’s also the Sun’s day and the Moon’s day.
The issue with the line of thinking you’re espousing is that without evidence, you’re suggesting a more complicated cause than simple chance.
Like yes, it is possible that somebody or some group lined all of these things up in advance, but it’s also entirely possible that there’s a ton of noise out there on the internet and that those with nefarious interests just signal boost the noise that benefits them.
Think of all the millions of random schizo-posters out there. You just pick whichever makes the right sounds and boost them. No need to invent the crazy when there’s crazy on tap.

This. I use symfonium for my audiobooks. Great app.

If it's crunchy, it's just an average cookie.81·11 days agoRight, that’s their point. Chocolate chip cookies can be made to be chewy when cold instead of crunchy, in which case they’re still much better than crunchy chocolate chip cookies.

entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.orgto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Is using Proton GE better than Proton in terms of performance?English7·14 days agoIt fixes issues with games. If the game has no issues with regular Proton then the answer is generally “no”.
In fact, with regular Proton you’re much more likely to have pre-compiled shaders available for your system through Steam, which should improve performance by reducing stuttering.
Totally unbalanced pay-to-win bullshit, to say nothing about the absurdly unfair random distribution of talents
