  • opening the linked thread like:

    Anyways I'm gay and transgender, so I've decided that from now on I'm saying that I'm transing my desktop.

    Jokes aside, going from repressed neutral boy clothes to vibrant and colorful girl clothes and makeup and feeling cute has been such a great part of transitioning. This is kind of how I see customizing my desktop now. It always comes with such boring dry defaults, so I trans her gender and give her a makeover and now my computer is all pretty. So I'm sticking with transing.

  • tbh you should prolly use pgrep instead of piping ps into grep

  • Lot of people mentioning kde connect. I'm going to take a moment to clarify, kde connevts functionality is modular. you need the sshfs package for it to mount the phones filesystem over ssh. Once you've done that, it works pretty normally.

  • This is speculation:

    I think a lot of it is temporarily leased or loaned. i was watching a retrobytws video recently, cant remember the exact name. but it was about this console that was 'designed for girls' (read what old men in suits think teenage girls want). He said a lot of.yputubers have made videos on it, but console is actually pretty rare. One or two people own pne amd loan it out to others for their videos.

    Also auctioning. I gotta imagine some of it can be flipped.

    Maybe donated to a museum.

    That's just me speculatong tho.

  • Hmmm, that's a lot to go over in there. I have family sharing setup with, let's say, my found family. There are a lot of improvements listed, but also many things I'm worried about.

    The one year period of waiting after leaving one seems excessive. I hope they have good separation of the logical family and the physical pc's, It's really annoying to resetup stuff with my partner every time one of us installs a different linux distro.

    I understand why they're doing the ban sharing, but it's still funny.

  • lmao what are they going to do? press a bunch of poor africans into service for them and then leave them all dead in a ditch again?

    French officials also clarified that any potential forces sent would likely support operations such as de-mining rather than direct combat with Russian forces.

    lol, lmao

  • I gotta imagine that each planet in a sci fi setting would have its oen airforce, where as the compasion of space to a vast ocean makes sense for the organization tasked with patroling it.

  • tbh why not jsut set them up with an ssh key that doesn't have an associated passphrase? Besides that, if you don't care about encrypting like you say, then you could replace all calls to ssh with telnet.

    At least that's my immediate thoughts.

  • I'm well aware. While I don't personally work on the gpu related stuff, I do work at a company that has to do a lot of gpu computing. My opinions on this topic are mostly informed by coworkers who do write gpu code, specifically a lot of opencl kernels. opencl has a lot of shortcomings and issues, and the kernel model is a bitch to work with. However, that isn't the point. The point is about compatibility. You can have a really good gpu but if you don't have adversarial compatibility with your competitors, it will just die. Specifically, amd have done a shit job at making cuda run on amd gpus. rocm is a disjointed mess, it sucked when I had to work with it in uni, it still sucks now. Cuda is bad and proprietary, but any modern gpu should still be able to run cuda crap simply because it's useful to be able to do so, and there's a lot of things already built with it that should remain accessible.

    The fact that amd have not been able to get a component as critical as their adversarial compatibility layer working while Moore has already implemented it for their early generation of cards shows:

    • how profound the failures of amd and western computing companies is
    • the breakneck pace and incredible technical achievements of chinese gpu development
  • What really fucking gets me about this article is how they note that Moore already has a stack that can run cuda crap on it. This shit that AMD has not been able to pull their god damn heads out of their asses and do fully and completely for years, and here they already have it ready to go as they're essentially at the beginning of the chinese homegrown gpu story. Like, this is something that's going to be a decades long project, and they already have that critical part built. American computing is a fucking joke and should be burned to the ground.

  • Jesus fucking christ this is a hell of a project, Ill finish reading when I get home today.

    Hats off to you for pulling it off. Why is it that every time I read something by a NixOS person I get the inpressiom that they are very smart but are completely mad.

  • juan guaido has declared himself the interim president of Florida International U

  • They do but it's 1+charisma mod per day uses. The 5e players I know would immediately start stabbing people just to save on resources.

  • bcache is inherently designed to be an ssd cache that sits in front of slower bigger disks. Bcachefs is an extension of this into it's own filesystem. iirc the words of the bcache creator were: 'we've implemented 80% of a filesystem here, might as well go the rest of the way'. So how much it thrashes a disk is based on what position you give it in the architecture. The caching ssds are going to be used heavily, taking advantage of their fast random access to manage all random accesses, while sequential operations generally go to the slower disk that's set as the background device. The background disks will tend to be accessed less.

    Soy yeah, it's based on what kind of disk and position in the bcache, and what caching options you enable. If you want to look into it further, bcache is fs agnostic, so if you can find some tests that have been done for bcache enabled for classic linux filesystems, like ext4 and xfs, that include hardware degradation info, you'll probably end up with similar usage and hardware wear with the actual bcachefs.

  • Finally, I've been waiting forever for this. btrfs is a mess and zfs in oracle jail forever. Finally we cna have good COW on linux without stupid hoops.

  • there's a group called johncena141 who do linux specific repacks. They put the windows game in a dwarfs read only compressed archive, and then have an editable layer on top of it where saves and changes get written. The windows games are put into a wine wrapper and then you can run them while they're still compressed. It's pretty cool, but can be a bit finicky. Getting dwarfs installed can be a pain depending on your system. I find their stuff can be very hit or miss, but I like that they exist.

    Besides that, ymmv with all the other repacks. Sometimes fitgirl works fine for me, sometimes it fucks up completely. Same goes for dodi. though I've found dodi to be a bit more reliable on wine than fitgirl.

    That's my two cents on stuff.

    Hey, we should all really stop using racist slang to refer to customozation

    Meta post I've decided to make. I enjoyed the unixporn subreddit a lot when I used reddit more. I enjoy customizing my linux de as much as the next nerd.

    But you definitely shouldn't use racist slang to refer to the process.

    To be clear, I didn't know the origin of the term 'ricing' until fairly recently. I was chattimg with my friend and used it to describe my de setup. They informed me that apparently it's from car customization, and is a pejorative against generally asian men who customize their car to look like a racecar.

    After learning this I was sad to realize just how engrained it is in linux de customization culture. I personally have stopped using the term, and I would ask everyone here stop as well.
