  • Moving from an internal media drive to a NAS

    Jump

  • Look into Mergerfs+Snapraid. I’ve recently started using this setup for my media drives and it works great. Mergerfs allows you to treat any mixture of drives as one giant pool, while snapraid allows you to define parity drives for that pool. However snapraid requires each parity drive to be as big as your largest data drive. But this is a flexible and economical setup if you already have disks

  • CachyOS Introduces New Repository Optimized for AMD Zen 4 and Zen 5 CPUs

    Jump

  • It also compiles packages with newer architecture feature support than mainline arch. All of its packages are compiled for x86_64-v3 and x86_64-v4, as compared to the x86_64-v2 of standard arch. This improves performance at the cost of older CPU support

  • [Weekly thread] GNU+Linux help: ask anything!

    Jump

  • Anybody use NixOS? I’m trying to run a regular Linux executable and I can’t figure out what packages to use in Nix-LD to make it work…

  • What foreign languages are you currently learning, if any?

    Jump

  • I mainly study French, I’ve just cleared the CEFR A2 ☺️

    I study a lot of other languages more casually, mostly Mandarin but also Russian, German, Arabic, and Spanish

  • Is the Chinese Economic model superior to the Soviet Planned Economy model?

    Jump

  • In terms of abolition of exploitation, availability of social welfare, and equity, the Soviet system (post NEP) was superior. In terms of integration with the global economic system as it stands and rapidity of development, the Chinese system (SWCC era) is superior. But the material conditions of these countries and the historical epoch they existed in dictated both of these structures, and I believe they are both well suited socialist economies to those conditions. You must remember the USSR’s own similar period of economic development during the NEP before making comparisons like this

  • what’s your thoughts on Linux and Windows…

    Jump

  • Linux can be secured on much deeper levels than windows, by default yes it lacks antivirus but its also much less necessary given the software distribution model of Linux vs windows. But ClamAV is a decent antivirus that I use on my Linux server. Never felt the need for one on my workstation/laptop

  • Thought on Graphene?

    Jump

  • its open source and well audited, so no I don't think they have it backdoored. they get all the info they want from people using google play services at a privileged level, running chrome, and using their other dozen services that come bundled with stock android

  • BREAKING NEWS! President of Bolivia denounces irregular mobilization of military units

    Jump

  • Further proof that Hexbear is the vanguard of world socialist movements o7

    In all seriousness though I hope to god this fails. Bolivia is such an important stronghold of the new pink tide and such a vital component of south american socialist construction. Despite its flaws, the MAS governments have done so much to materially improve the life of Bolivians and to lay the material groundwork for a transition to a socialist society.

  • Update on 'Best "convertible" or 2-in-1 device to run Linux on?' (Minisforum V3 first impressions)

    Jump

  • You could also just run android apps on Linux using Waydroid or Anbox and avoid having to use a neutered spyware system

  • [x-post @selfhost@lemmy.ml] Do you run anything on a RISC-V processor?

    Jump

  • They’re mostly in SBCs and dev systems right now. I know StarFive makes RISC V SBCs, and I think Pine64 has a RISC V tablet and SBC available. It’s all pretty low end and intended for dev work from what I can tell though

  • In a First, AlmaLinux Patches a Security Hole That Remains Unpatched in Upstream RHEL - FOSS Force

    Jump

  • Well Rocky can contribute, but they’d have to send their patch to CentOS stream and hope it gets merged, then wait for Red Hat to implement the changes. So it’s more roundabout and ultimately is dependent on Red Hat

  • NLPs

    Jump

  • Isn’t Mozilla deprecating theirs soon?

  • GTK based terminal for Wayland?

    Jump

  • It’s not nearly as supported. There are workarounds where you can create a ~/.gtk4 directory and modify CSS yourself, or you can use a program like Gradience to modify the color scheme in an accessible way. Gradience also has community color palettes so if you’re using a popular theme it could just be a matter of loading the preset

  • What lesser known free and open source software do you use daily to improve your life?

    Jump

  • It’s definitely a rabbit hole and it took me a few tries to stick with it, but after getting off the ground I don’t think I could ever go back.

    Here are some helpful resources for using NixOS:

    This video helped me understand the basic setup of flakes and home manager, as well as general NixOS syntax.

    This site from Nix lets you look up every package on the repository, and if you click options at the top you can also search through every option related to your system and packages as well.

    If you decide to use home manager for declaring user packages and dotfiles, I have been using this site which is similar to the official Nix search but specifically for home manager stuff.

    Hope it helps :)

  • Helix text editor has been in my rotation recently, I like it a lot as a regular nvim user.

    Just migrated from Arch to NixOS recently. Nix+Flakes+Home-manager define my entire system, including config files and pinned package versions, using three files. My system has never felt more stable and reproducible. I even found a flake which lets you declaratively manage Flatpaks (nix-flatpak).
