Prometheus/VictoriaMetrics/Grafana are pretty good, had no issues with it and thereโs an exporter for damn near anything. Theyโre pretty easy to custom write too.
Note: do that from a live CD/USB or with the source drive mounted readonly. If you dd a mounted and used filesystem, youโll most likely end up with a corrupted and useless filesystem on the target.
I get that you canโt stop people from commenting on your posts but you can still filter it out from the results.
Mastodon is arguably easier to deal with since youโre replying directly to someone, so the userโs server can reject it and be done with it. On Lemmy it really should behave as if you blocked the user: just hide it from view. Simply because if youโre on instance A, blocked instance is B and the community is on C, B has no problem posting to C as it doesnโt know youโve blocked it on A. But even defederation doesnโt address that either: you can reply to defederated users and theyโll never know for the same reason.
I think on this type of social media, not seeing it is the best you can do regardless.
They even used to be the best drivers, a long time ago when nobody cared about the graphics stack. Had ATI/AMD? You got the FGLRX proprietary driver and it was really bad.
12 years ago it was probably one of the least broken GPU drivers available. You actually got most of your GPUs capabilities.
Now with Intel and AMD going open-source, those are now the best drivers and NVIDIA is lagging behind and not keeping up with advancements in the Linux graphics stack. Hopefully the open driver and NVK catches up and brings everyone a good open-source NVIDIA experience so we can stop relying on the proprietary driver.
Yeah, if I see โSteam Deck verifiedโ, I expect the game to work 100% out of the box. Although I guess a โplayableโ rating might have been more appropriate, but with online mode being so popular Iโm sure there would be tons of complaints if Valve said it worked perfectly.
Does anyone know, or can anyone guess, the business case for predictive text? On phone apps, it is often incredibly difficult to turn off. Why is that, do you think? (The examples I have recent experience with are Facebook and Outlook mobile apps.)...
I have none of that on my phone, just plain old keyboard.
But the reason itโs everywhere is itโs the new hot thing and every company in the world feels like they have to get on board now or theyโll be potentially left behind, canโt let anyone have a headstart. Itโs incredibly dumb and shortsighted but since actually innovating in features is hard and AI is cheap to implement, thatโs what every company goes for.
I think it can also get weird when you call other makefiles, like if you go make -j64 at the top level and that thing goes on to call make on subprojects, that can be a looooot of threads of that -j gets passed down. So even on that 64 core machine, now you have possibly 4096 jobs going, and it surfaces bugs that might not have been a problem when we had 2-4 cores (oh no, make is running 16 jobs at once, the horror).

Some players are more generous in what they tolerate but the file is undoubtedly mildly corrupted.
Lemmy should not let people upload corrupted files in the first place.
Easiest for this might be NextCloud. Import all the files into it, then you can get the NextCloud client to download or cache the files you plan on needing with you.
Iโd say mostly because the client is fairly good and works about the way people expect it to work.
It sounds very much like a DropBox/Google Drive kind of use case and from a user perspective it does exactly that, and itโs not Linux-specific either. I use mine to share my KeePass database among other things. The app is available on just about any platform as well.
Yeah NextCloud is a joke in how complex it is, but you can hide it all away using their all in one Docker/Podman container. Still much easier than getting into bcachefs over usbip and other things Iโve seen in this thread.
Ultimately I donโt think there are many tools that can handle caching, downloads, going offline, reconcile differences when back online, in a friendly package. I looked and thereโs a page on Oracleโs website about a CacheFS but that might be enterprise only, thereโs catfs in Rust but itโs alpha, and canโt work without the backing filesystem for metadata.
Yeah thatโs what it does, that was a shitpost if it wasnโt obvious :p
Though I do use ZFS which you configure the mountpoints in the filesystem itself. But it also ultimately generates systemd mount units under the hood. So I really only need one unit, for /boot.
You know what I just realised? These โuniversal formatsโ were created to make it easier for developers to package software for Linux, and there just so happens to be this thing called the Open Build Service by OpenSUSE, which allows you to package for Debian and Ubuntu (deb), Fedora and RHEL (rpm) and SUSE and OpenSUSE (also...
The problem is that you canโt just convert a deb to rpm or whatever. Well you can and it usually does work, but not always. Tools for that have existed for a long time, and thereโs plenty of packages in the AUR that just repacks a deb, usually proprietary software, sometimes with bundled hacks to make it run.
Thereโs no guarantee that the libraries of a given distro are at all compatible with the ones of another. For example, Alpine and Void use musl while most others use glibc. These are not binary compatible at all. That deb will never run on Alpine, you need to recompile the whole thing against musl.
What makes a distro a distro is their choice of package manager, the way of handling dependencies, compile flags, package splitting, enabled feature sets, and so on. If everyone used the same binaries for compatibility we wouldnโt have distros, we would have a single distro like Windows but open-source but heaven forbid anyone dares switching the compiler flags so it runs 0.5% faster on their brand new CPU.
The Flatpak approach is really more like โfine weโll just ship a whole Fedora-lite base system with the appsโ. Snaps are similar but they use Ubuntu bases instead (obviously). Itโs solving a UX problem, using a particular solution, but itโs not the solution. Itโs a nice tool to have so developers can ship a reference environment in which the software is known to run well into and users that just want it to work can use those. But the demand for native packages will never go away, and people will still do it for fun. Thatโs the nature of open-source. Itโs what makes distros like NixOS, Void, Alpine, Gentoo possible: everyone can try a different way of doing things, for different usecases.
If we can even call it a โproblemโ. Itโs my distroโs job to package the software, not the developerโs. Thatโs how distros work, thatโs what they signed up for by making a distro. To take Alpine again for example, they compile all their packages against musl instead of glibc, and it works great for them. That shouldnโt become the developerโs problem to care what kind of libc their software is compiled against. Using a Flatpak in this case just bypasses Alpine and musl entirely because itโs gonna use glibc from the Fedora base system layer. Are you really running Alpine and musl at that point?
And this is without even touching the different architectures. Some distros were faster to adopt ARM than others for example. Some people run desktop apps on PowerPC like old Macs. Fine you add those to the builds and now someone wants a RISC-V build, and a MIPS build.
There are just way too many possibilities to ever end up with an universal platform that fits everyoneโs needs. And thatโs fine, thatโs precisely why developers ship source code not binaries.

No but it does solve people not wanting to bother making an account for your effectively single-user self-hosted instance just to open a PR. I could be up and running in like 10 minutes to install Forgejo or Gitea, but who wants to make an account on my server. But GitHub, practically everyone has an account.
Small projects tend to not want to spin up infrastructure, but on GitHub you know your code will still be there 10 years later after you disappear. The same cannot be said of my Cogs instance and whatever was on it.
And overall, GitHub has been pretty good to users. No ads, free, pretty speedy, and a huge community of users that already have an account where they can just PR your repo. Nobody wants to make an account on some random dudeโs instance just to open a PR.
