moist_towelettes,

Unless your computer is exposed directly to the internet, your router’s firewall should be enough. Fedora typically has SELinux and AppArmor enabled by default which should protect from something nasty executing on your machine.

Don’t execute things as root if you don’t know what it is and you should be fine.

A level 0 master scheduled part is a form of blow-through part that forecasts at a high level among products of a similar design and can be disaggregated to level 1 and netted against actual demands to yield supply proposals within the planning time fence.

moist_towelettes,

Am I the only one who thinks the Popeyes sandwich is the greasiest fuckin thing ever? Everyone raved about it but I couldn’t finish it, I really gave it an honest try. It was gross.

moist_towelettes,

Really pleased with the Sony Xperia 1 V. It’s made out of this really nice grippy material and I’m getting 2 to 3 days on a full charge. Great camera too, and it’s basically stock Android.

moist_towelettes,

Profile switching is a big one for me.

Also kind of nitpicky on my end, but I would like to at least have the option for H.265 support. I know they can’t include it OOTB, but I can’t even buy a license compatible with FF.

moist_towelettes,

Syncing 2 different sets of extensions, bookmarks and browsing history across devices reliably. I wish it did work, I hate running Edge on Linux. Even regular Firefox profile sync is kinda flaky for me though.

moist_towelettes,

The profile manager isn’t available on mobile, at least I couldn’t find it or switch accounts without completely signing out. Checks all the boxes for me on desktop though.

I travel a lot for work and stream Plex. All my media is in HEVC and I dont want to have to buy a video card for the server just so I can transcode it to Firefox when everything else can play HEVC out of the box.

moist_towelettes,

On desktop yes but not mobile.

Loving PopOS but apparently I can't get the latest Nvidia driver? (Your regularly scheduled "What Distro should I use" thread)

Basically the title. Loving PopOS as my daily, but I understand that PopOS uses their own process and makes sure that only a checked driver gets wide release. Great for stability, less great for playing games that just came out. Is there a distro that this community generally recommends for gaming?

moist_towelettes,

Gentoo. It will be the last distro you hop to. Because it’s whatever you want it to be. Don’t be afraid. It even has a special command and portage repo to install all the support files and ancient libraries from 2002 your old games need in one shot.

You can snag a binary kernel, browser and some compilers now too if you don’t want to deal with that. It’s not much more difficult than Arch nowadays.

moist_towelettes,

The Black Mesa HL remake took 16 years to release (2004-2020).

moist_towelettes,

Pydio and Seafile are alternatives I’ve tried. Pydio was pretty fast too. I agree with you on Nextcloud, I want to like it but I inevitably start having issues and it’s slow even after tuning. It just tries to do too much and shouldn’t be that complex to spin up a file server.

moist_towelettes,

I skimmed through their privacy policy and I’m not confident Mozilla would approve. They can share the telemetry that comes from your car, including it’s physical location.

The MLB Slugfest series. I don’t even like baseball, but they’d sneak these one liners into regular commentary and it just killed me.

“Everyone that came out to the ballpark today is getting a free piece of sandpaper”

moist_towelettes,

Yes the GameCube version’s controls sucked, it’s a bit better on the PS2 IMO.

moist_towelettes,

Canadian islands because I ran out of bears.

moist_towelettes,

I find I can’t get into them if I physically play them on PC. One look and I get the “potato graphics” feeling and start increasing AA, texture packs, etc. Now if I stream it to my TV or phone, it’s like “oh okay this is normal for this thing” and it tricks my brain to not caring.

Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now?

I’ve noticed in the Linux community whenever someone asks for a recommendation on a laptop that runs Linux the answer is always “Get a Thinkpad” yet Lenovo doesn’t seem to be a big Linux contributor or ally. There’s also at least six Linux/FOSS-oriented computer manufacturers now:...

moist_towelettes,

I bought a System76 Pangolin 11, then replaced it with a ThinkPad X13 within a few months because the battery life was trash. Total workhorse but it would die on me in meetings if I was sharing my screen.

moist_towelettes,

Something a Gentoo user might care about is the distro’s compile time options. Ubuntu uses -O2 and LTO, Debian uses -O1. Debian has always been noticably slower overall for me.

Don’t do what I did and go with Tumbleweed. It gets more updates than Arch.

moist_towelettes,

It doesn’t make much of a difference in the kernel, but I definitely notice it on Debian’s Firefox vs Flatpak.

moist_towelettes,

I have a System76 Pangolin 11 with the Ryzen 7 and the battery life is trash. It would die on me during meetings from a full charge if I was sharing my screen. Not blaming System76 on this one, its probably the AMD chipset all things considered.

Replaced it with the Thinkpad X13 Gen 2 and love it. Easily gets 8 to 10 hours on OpenSUSE, and everything just works.

moist_towelettes,

I try to find ways to make my setup more bulletproof or faster whenever I get the itch. As an example, I recently switched to OpenSUSE and Podman to take advantage of the LTO optimized packages and rootless containers.

I tried to run my online life through self hosting but I found a lot of the services weren’t reliable or capable enough to get real work done. So I went from 30 containers to about 7 and have a lot less to tinker with.

moist_towelettes,

No just LTO. Right now only Ubuntu, Fedora and SUSE Tumbleweed turn it on by default.

I’ve rebased a few of my containers with SUSE and noticed some improved load times on my web services as well. I don’t run anything demanding either, just bored. It’s like half a second improvement lol.

moist_towelettes,

They have a Dockerfile that enables hardware accelerated transcoding. It’s not available on their Dockerhub unfortunately. Works great with Nvidia.

How to set up Podman with NVIDIA GPU acceleration and macvlan networking on Gentoo (gist.github.com)

Getting GPU acceleration working is a common task for those of us running Plex or Jellyfin. There is not much documentation for getting the NVIDIA container stack to work with Podman, even less on Gentoo, plus there have been a lot of changes to NVIDIA’s container toolkit lately....

moist_towelettes,

Thanks!

As I understand it, it bind-mounts the /dev/nvidia devices and the CUDA toolkit binaries inside the container, giving it direct access just as if it was running on the host. It’s not virtualized, just running under a different namespace so the VRAM is still being managed by the host driver. I would think the same restrictions exist in containers that would apply for running CUDA applications normally on the host. Personally I’ve had up to 4 containers run GPU processes at the same time on 1 card.

And yes, Nvidia hosts it’s own GPU accelerated container images for PyTorch, Tensorflow and a bunch of others on the NGC. They also have images with the full CUDA SDK on their dockerhub.
