Bleeding edge gaming distros with driver managers?
  • What do you mean by a driver manager? I'm not familiar with that term, it sounds like a gui for managing and updating drivers. Or maybe you want something to help you switch between integrated graphics on your cpu to your dedicated gpu?

    In most cases, updating drivers doesn't require a GUI and can actually create more work. For instance, compare this Manjaro video of how to use its gui to install Nvidia drivers vs this line of code to install/update the Nvidia drivers on endeavorOS.

    eos-update --nvidia
    

    Ofcourse if you use an arch based distro you can also use the arch wiki to help you manage your drivers exactly the way you want. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA

    If you want to control which apps use your GPU or integrated graphics, than you can just install prime and prepend a package name with the string prime-run when opening or in steam launch settings.

  • Bleeding edge gaming distros with driver managers?
  • I used to like Manjaro but they way they handled the recent pacman changes were so terrible that I no longer recommend it. It still has a great GUI and I think other arch based distros could learn from.

  • Man-of-war fish
  • Huh. Why is both the Man-of-war fish and the man o' war (aka man-of-war) jellyfish (although its not really a jellyfish) both also called bluebottle?

    this fish lives within the tentacles of the Portuguese man o' war, feeding on its tentacles and gonads.

    Oh.

  • Reminiscing about smaller phones
  • Totally. I have one of the newer pixels and it's on the smaller side relatively, but it's the biggest phone I can use comfortably.

    I wear a size medium glove and it's insane to me that it's hard to find a phone I can use comfortably in one hand.

    At the same time, I've started to realize that I should do less with my phone anyway. So I really don't need it to do to much besides get a good reception and have a day or so of battery life. The most demanding thing I've asked my phone to do recently was to emulate some Nintendo games and run llama3.2:1B. But both things are better done either on a device meant to perform that workload or via a self hosted server where my phone is just a client.

    I'm with you on those specs. Maybe the best features of new phones is the water resistance. Idk of its possible to have both water resistance and removable batteries and SD cards, but I miss being able to swap out to a fully charged battery or upgrade the storage at a whim. If I hadn't choose tho, id stick with the water resistance.

    So to add to your specs I'd like:

    • water resistance
    • 256 SD card minimum
    • battery last 24hr minimum
    • ability to switch from WiFi to cell mid call
    • don't need more than a 1080p oled display on a phone
    • comes without any bloatware preinstalled
    • runs linux with ability to sudo
  • Jurassic [Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal]
  • I like the fan theory that jurassic park could have worked if they followed modern guidelines for zoos in terms of meeting the minimum enclosure sizes per animal and making sure that the animals were properly stimulated. But John Hammond just cut every corner he could.

  • It's easy to imagine yourself withstanding torture in order to save a loved one... until you hit your thumb with a hammer or stub your toe IRL
  • What if the torturer put you in a dark room with a bunch of steel IKEA furniture and bedfames, (no mattresses) and a heated floor with 2 zones (only 1 is on at a time) so that you would have to either brave the gauntlet of IKEA to keep your feet warm or tell them what they want to hear?

  • New jellyfin front end using flutter: fladder
  • Awesome. Will try this out since the android version of the official client doesn't seem to work for me.

    I think it might have something to do with my private DNS settings, since it will only connect to my server via fqdn if don't use encrypted DNS.

    Edit: the official jellyfin client is working with my encrypted DNS just fine now. Will still be testing this out.

  • Georgia republican AG claims not carrying a smartphone makes you a criminal
  • Its honesty insane how much either not having a smartphone or not wanting to install an app to your smartphone makes you a somewhat of a marginalized class.

    You might not be able to park, eat at a restaurant, view a receipt, or go to an event.

  • Donald Trump will ‘work the fry cooker’ at McDonald’s in Pa. this weekend
  • Agree, working at a McDonald's today is not about the "work". It's about the pay and the ability to live the lifestyle that job would afford. Which is not something either candidate would ever experience, after todays wages, cost of living, and inflation is factored in.

    However, Harris probably has an idea of what that life would be like and has the ability to empathise. Where as Trump will just use the photo op as a way to get free McDonald's

    I think one of the two most beneficial things that could be done for America would be to enact a proper living wage that is in line with inflation. Not only would that help the minimum wage workers but it would also increase tax revenue.

    However the best way to increase the tax revenue would be to tax the rich. Either way, Trump would definitely not do either.

  • Governments Are Suddenly Shutting Down The Internet - Here’s Why

    What are your backup plans for an internet and telecom shutdown?

    I don't believe trusting in satilite internet companies (especially one owned by a fascist) are very practical.

    Outside of radio and ad-hoc networks however, I'm not sure what other options would be feasible for the average person that wanted to prepare for something like this.

    We might need to add some more logic to the recommendation algorithm

    I love Jellyfin. I did think these recommendations were a bit funny however since they were so off.

    Maybe the recommendations need to also look at the movies mpaa rating? Like something PG shouldn't be recommended after watching an R and especially not vice versa.

    I guess it becomes complex quickly if you want to add other rating systems to the mix.

    TIL about competitive scything

    I was shopping for a new scythe blade when I found this beautiful and incredibly long competition scythe blades.

    !

    In the video, they seem to be judged not just on time but also on how well the area is mowed. I find this fascinating.
