From Forbes and Money content farms, to Google search algorithm changes promoting generic and generated content and big media platforms over specific results, to Google prioritizing ads, overpriced, and other worse results.

ashaman2007,

Archive.org is essential. I donate regularly, they are a key part of the infrastructure of the internet now…

So, basically shitposting poisons AI training. Good to know 👍

ashaman2007,

Same here 👍

I need to wake up early (lemmy.world)

All the vibrating alarm clocks I could find do not sync with your phone, and have to be set manually. I thought about getting an Arduino, but then I will have to build the whole thing by myself. The only logical conclusion I could come up with is to get a programable vibrator. But most of them are either very expensive of look...

ashaman2007,

I used to use this, you can turn the audible alarm all the way off and just use the shaker!

If you haven’t I would join the Matrix space, really helps when there’s a gap in the docs!

The game/screen is captured and streamed to the client, and screen size doesn’t matter. I tried playing Elden Ring on my phone and it worked 😂 although touch controls were shit

ashaman2007,

If you are experience flickering in apps and your windowing system is Wayland, there is likely a fix coming this month in the next NVIDIA patch. And, Gnome and KDE either already have or are working on their side. Here’s a good jumping off point to understand why Nvidia support for Linux is essentially incomplete until this gets flowed out to all users: www.phoronix.com/…/Explicit-GPU-Sync-XWayland-Go

Gamescope is a Valve thing that is also related, helps make stuff work on Linux

I use openSUSE Tumbleweed and it has BTRFS and snapper (snapshot manager) set up by default, with all necessary system subvolumes already created. It’s been a great experience for gaming so far, and actually the best experience with NVIDIA drivers I’ve had! All you would need to do is create a separate BTRFS subvolume and snapper config for your games folder and you’d be good to go, without worrying about any other setup! No need to use EXT4 at all. Additionally, there is very detailed snapper documentation on the openSUSE website.

doc.opensuse.org/…/cha.snapper.html#id-1.4.3.4.2.…

Additionally, you can get support from the community in the openSUSE Matrix Space: matrix.to/#/%23space:opensuse.org

Use the support channel (:opensuse.org) or the gaming channel (:opensuse.org)

What am I doing wrong (OpenSuse)?

I’ve been trying Tumbleweed for my gaming needs and so far it seems to be working relatively well. My issue is about removed packages. When I first installed TW, I removed quite a few packages I did not want (KSudoku, LibreOffice, and a few others). It has been a little since I’ve turned on my PC but yesterday I noticed that...

ashaman2007,

Right… does it even make sense that installing all recommended packages is the default zypper behavior? Lyx for example will install a 2GB Tex distribution by default, which will conflict with any existing Tex install. Why on earth is that the default… If you are installing Lyx, you very likely at least understand that you need to choose a Tex distribution.

ashaman2007,

You can already write a for loop that handles whitespace in file names, just use quotes around the file name variable:

ashaman2007,

Wow seeing this meme upvoted made me exhale slightly, the placebo works!

ashaman2007,

I use Lyx with a local Texlive install, and it works great (openSUSE tumbleweed)

Fake but hilarious

github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom

I recommend installing it via asdf, which is described in the installation section of the github readme

ashaman2007,

Yeah I believe asdf is a kind of package/version manager, so probably similar. And yes when you install you will see the Proton-GE version as an additional Proton version you can apply in the game options, but it does not overwrite the already installed proton versions

ashaman2007,

😂😂😂

ashaman2007,

Yea, and I’ve tried this before and had issues (Fedora 39). But seems to work just fine on Tumbleweed, which was a nice surprise!

ELI5: The Linux xz backdoor situation

PLEASE. I keep seeing it in memes. As I understand it the latest version of the xz package (present in rolling release distros like Arch and SUSE Tumbleweed) has “a backdoor”, but I have no earthly clue what can be done by malicious folks with access to that backdoor or if I should be afraid or how to check if my distro is...

ashaman2007,

Fairly simple explanation by arstechnica: “The malicious versions [of xz], researchers said, intentionally interfere with authentication performed by SSH, a commonly used protocol for connecting remotely to systems. SSH provides robust encryption to ensure that only authorized parties connect to a remote system. The backdoor is designed to allow a malicious actor to break the authentication and, from there, gain unauthorized access to the entire system. The backdoor works by injecting code during a key phase of the login process.”

Also from the article, you should check if your distro is offering a downgrade from the affected 5.6.x packages. Right now the exploit is not fully understood. For example, openSUSE recommends a full reinstall of Tumbleweed if an SSH server was enabled, just to mitigate risk.

arstechnica.com/…/backdoor-found-in-widely-used-l…

news.opensuse.org/2024/03/29/xz-backdoor/

ashaman2007,

Just to be sure, you should check whether SSHD is enabled: sudo systemctl status sshd.service If you never enabled it and it’s disabled+inactive, then no need to reinstall Tumbleweed per the current guidance. Also you can double check your version of xz to make sure it’s downgraded, the downgraded version for Tumbleweed should look like this:


<span style="color:#323232;">sudo zypper search -vi xz

TL;DR It uses the Matrix protocol to make every post E2E encrypted in the same way a Matrix chat is. Except they added more separation between people in the “Circles” functionality. Instead of everyone seeing all content like in a chat room, you have to invite people to follow your timeline. And only those people who have been invited can see your posts, and vice versa. I’m not sure he said it specifically, but it was implied that unless people have invited each other to see their posts, they can’t interact with each other in the same circles (he used an example of two people not liking each other and both being able to see a 3rd person’s timeline, but not each others timeline/posts). So essentially it offers encryption and social media like usage but with a sane privacy stance…aka nobody can find you via stalking your mutuals and nobody can just google and DM you out of the blue. Basic photo and sharing is available, apparently improving those features is what is planned for this year. You can also self host it if you wanted, as it just runs off a Matrix server (although they currently provide a US and Europe matrix server run by the FUTO company that funds the app development). Looks like they plan on charging for storage space (1.99$/month for 10GB is what it says in the app right now), and I’m not sure how much storage you get for free.

ashaman2007,

Yeah thankfully that’s the only part of the metaphor that holds… american evangelicals are about as far from a hardened warrior society as you can get…

ashaman2007,

Having BTRFS snapshots set up for root: 😀 Elbow on the keyboard issues this command before the sudo timeout: sudo rm -rf ./testdir/cd $HOMERIP home directory 😭 and still figuring out the best way to do snapshots of home without using timeline snapshots and using a ton of space…
