  • /etc? Never heard of her.

  • Reminds me of when I had a rogue ~ directory sitting in my own home directory (probably from a badly written script). Three seconds into rm -rf ~ and me wondering why it was taking so long to complete, I CTRL+C, reboot, and pray.

    Alas, it was a reinstall for me that day (good excuse to distro hop, anyway). Really glad I don't mount my personal NAS folder in my home directory anymore, holy shit.

  • Or ban them outright! Benefits of running my own isntance, haha.

  • Verizon carriers start switching to 365-day device unlock policy, up from 60 days

    Jump

  • Yeah, their BYOD plan works great if they sell the phone you're using. My Pixel 7 I got from the Google Store worked just fine with AT&T for two years before I upgraded. I just didn't even consider whether they sold the device or not to be important to the functionality of the phone.

  • Not with AT&T. Bought a Pixel 9 Pro Fold on a huge sale from Google themselves, but because AT&T doesn't sell it, they couldn't provision it correctly on their network. Went through all the troubleshooting, they sent me a new SIM even. Finally I did my own research online, found a reddit post where someone talked to an employee on some internal AT&T team that said they probably won't ever support it properly since they don't sell it.

    So that was frustrating.

  • I love choice. I hate choosing.

    Jump

  • I've always wondered what the use case for Gentoo-but-binary is. I'm sure there is one, I just can't think of one.

  • Sometimes I forget how awesome Linux Gaming is

    Jump

  • Not a "conflict" per se, but I know Nvidia drivers had an issue for years where it would waste a lot of CPU cycles if no Nvidia card was detected. I think that finally was fixed last year, though.

  • RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components

    Jump

  • Yep. My 64 gigs of RAM died in my old setup a few weeks ago, and instead of paying out the ass for replacement DDR4 RAM, I decided to pay out the ass for DDR5 RAM and upgrade while I was at it. Only did 32 gigs, because I really wasn't using most of my 64 gigs (I thought). A few days ago, I ended up having to set up a swap file because a Rust project I was working on kept crashing VSCode while it was running the analyzer. What are we doing here.

  • How could you do this to me?

    Jump

  • Use an Arch distrobox and install from the AUR.

  • RIP Windows: Linux GPU Gaming Benchmarks on Bazzite (GamersNexus new Linux Benchmarking is here!)

    Jump

  • Bazzite has a Desktop image explicitly to cover your last issue. The SKU picker has a "Do you want Steam Gaming Mode?" question and explains that it's intended for less secure single user/HTPC setups. If you say no, you'll get the standard Desktop image with a standard user login like any other distro.

  • Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?

    Jump

  • I'm absolutely ass at RTS, but I really really love Starcraft and Warcraft lore. Every few years, I'll replay WC3 and Starcraft 1 and 2 using cheats. I use as few cheats as possible so that I still experience as much of the game as intended, but I still make sure I can't lose.

  • Framework supporting far-right racists?

    Jump

  • Well I guess now I've gotta transition away from Hyprland. That fucking sucks, I just moved to it a month or so ago and really like the workflow. Anyone have suggestions for alternatives? Or I could just go back to KDE.

  • Baldur's Gate 3 now has a native Linux build

    Jump

  • I don't like that Steam can do this. If I force BG3 to use the Sniper runtime, then it should be the same exact build that gets downloaded to the Steam Deck.

  • Bawk?

    Jump

  • Not 100% straight, but I'm definitely heteroromantic, at least.

    Other than that, yeah, things are going okay personally. World's fucked, but I'm doing what I can. Thanks for asking.

  • Open-Source NVIDIA Linux Driver Usage About To Become Much More Reliable

    Jump

  • I've checked it, just to be sure, it's definitely a 2.1 cable, but unfortunately the cable doesn't matter in this case. My monitors are good, but they're older. HDMI 2.0/2.1 wasn't around back then. I get good refresh rates over DisplayPort (I believe they have DP 1.4), and my RX 6800 XT had three of those, so I just naively assumed a 9070 XT would as well.

  • Open-Source NVIDIA Linux Driver Usage About To Become Much More Reliable

    Jump

  • The 9070 XT supports HDMI 2.1b, and unfortunately my Sapphire NITRO+ has two of them and two DisplayPorts. None of my three monitors support HDMI 2.0 or 2.1, so one of them is stuck at 60 Hz right now, and I'm pretty annoyed about it.

  • As a T1 diabetic, artificial sweeteners don't affect my blood sugar either. Caffeine does, though, unfortunately.

  • Use a steamer instead of a blow-dryer or heat gun, next time. I just had to defrost my Samsung freezer to fix a leak, no warping with the steamer.

  • Share a script/alias you use a lot

    Jump

  • I have a similar docker/podman alias, except I pull first. This greatly reduces downtime between down and up, which is nice for critical services.
