what do you think of people who use linux but use non-linux related stuff as their wallpaper??
  • Eyy! Glad to hear I'm not the only weirdo in this sub!

  • "moov atom not found" while trying to play a invidious live stream through yt-dlp.
  • You are absolutely right.

    Anyways, the idea is to mimic the ytsearch1: feature but for invidious -- search for a video id based on its title, drop id on an invidious stance, and play it. I've got half of it.

  • "moov atom not found" while trying to play a invidious live stream through yt-dlp.
  • Forgot to mention that live streams play just fine as well, but only if played directly on youtube.

    We already have Linux at home!
  • Should we integrate easier access to running Winblows apps on GNU/Linux?

    Why "we" should bother with that when -you- can do it yourself? Linux is a "free" ""operating system"" (Not absolutely free, but at least way more "free" than Windows) -- learn the ways to do that and implement these changes yourself.

  • Linux distro designed for emulation?
  • It could be (pretty much) any distro you want -- considering scripts like armbian-gaming exists and can give you a "one stop shop" experience.

    Why running scripts like these instead of downloading the "real thing"? When you have "obscure"/unsupported sbcs and you need to "make your own" version of it.

  • Any recommendations to my blocklist?
  • I’m not upset about it,

    You just mentioned about 5 posts not being an "appealing Lemmy experience". Only. Five. Posts.

    It's time to take a break my dude.

  • Any recommendations to my blocklist?
  • If the internet upsets/bothers you -THAT- much... why don't you simply find a better hobby? I mean, the moment that (pretty much anything in life) starts to give you more stress/anger above everything else... that is where you should stop for a moment and rethink your life decisions/choices.

    In other words... this is meant to be a distraction, not your third job.

  • What is your best (or worst) "We are all losers here" moment/story?

    Lutris has been abandoned? Also, best Lutris alternative?

    Title. Just noticed that it has not been updated since a while. Also, what are the best alternatives to it?

    Thanks in advance.

    Creating zram, and then making it a ramdisk for .cache, /tmp, etc -- does it do any difference?
  • -EDIT- Nvm that, I've tested several methods to make this work and none of em worked as I was expecting -- a ramdisk with zstd compression.

    Oh well.

    Title.

    Worst case scenario I've figured out a formidable way to make the "ultimate" ~/Downloads directory, heh.

    Thanks in advance.

    for those worried about the impact of sanctions on linux, is any of the bsds a better alternative?
  • a lot of people i know

    So...gamers, and maybe a few youtubers with less than 10 subscribers? Nah, we güd.

  • Is it possible to use the NPU as "another" CPU?
  • Well, then -- how about making the NPU process zram workloads (only)? I'd even ask "how about making it behave like a GPU instead of a NPU" but eh, I don't think it'd top or even have a similar performance than... any GPU available in the market?

    why you would want to do that.

    Because apparently everyone and their mother wants to stick a NPU on every PC, and I'm not planning on using AI ever, so... why not give it another purpose instead of letting it collect dust?

    -EDIT- Oh, how about making the NPU behave like a CPU but it (only) process "low-process-demanding" applications like video editors, window managers, etc? If anything, freeing up a few extra %'s might be a good idea for a few PCs.

    Is it possible to use the NPU as "another" CPU?

    Title. In other words, to make the system redirect workload to the NPU -first- and then to the CPU when it reaches 100% usage? Like both NPU and CPU were a single, huge CPU instead of being separated?

    Thanks in advance.

    Raspberry Pi launch their own SSDs and SSD Kits, along with SD Cards
  • As someone who is (somewhat) interested in doing a similar setup like yours -- does it stack? As in, energy is divided between all pis that are connected to that single cable?

  • Finally did it, got my parent on linux.
  • Last time I tried convincing em to install Linux, they said "I'm on it" to end up ghosting me after like I was a weird, random beggar they met on the street.

  • Raspberry Pi launch their own SSDs and SSD Kits, along with SD Cards
  • I don't think that'll be a good idea to promote the usage of microsd's considering the competition is (almost) going full nvme -- which is (obviously) miles better than any microsd.

  • Can corruption happen by powering off the computer (not properly shutting it down) during balance or scrub of a btrfs volume?
  • software problems

    Not having "out of the box" support does not make it a problem tho.

    quality of distros

    All distros are the same, considering they all run GNU/Linux and anyone can configure em at will.

  • Can corruption happen by powering off the computer (not properly shutting it down) during balance or scrub of a btrfs volume?
  • It's pretty good. Even better than the raspberry pi 4 considering its performance and comically low power draw (It doesn't go over the 2W mark even with both cpu and gpu at 100%.). Other than that, it's perfectly usable, despise its lack of (out of the box) support.

  • Can corruption happen by powering off the computer (not properly shutting it down) during balance or scrub of a btrfs volume?
  • As a proud Orange pi zero 3 owner (which I'm using it as a "lab rat" by testing several things, including shutting it down like its a router)....? Nah.

  • /home dir on a separate partition? Why/Why not?
  • A separate /home partition means you can set $ROOTFS as read-only (and /home as rw) and have a "pseudo-everlasting but not really" file system.

    (And before someone says "Why not simply disable logs instead? It's the same thing." -- yes, yes it is. But sometimes you want a "just werks" solution, even if it is a dumb one. Which is (obviously) disabling writes all over $ROOTFS.)

  • should I completely jumpship to linux when windows 10 ends support/am ready or dualboot ltsc and linux
  • You can always consider the experience of using Linux as a "game" itself and DU ET NAO!

    ...no really. Do it.

  • This is why I love linux
  • ...and that is why I love Linux as well! Gotta love my little potato Orange pi zero 3.

    How about a cmatrix clone that is (only) 30 KiB?

    tl;dr: Run "docker run -it --rm --log-driver none --cap-drop=ALL --read-only --net none --security-opt=no-new-privileges --name ascii-matrix defnotgustavom/ascii-matrix" for a perfect cmatrix clone + ascii elmo.

    How do I run a command on a remote PC and make it display the result on its screen instead on the client pc?

    Title. Yep, I'm trying to multitask with a Orange pi zero 3 (remotely) without the need of kvm's.

    Both client and remote PC's are wayland-related. Trying to connect w/ ssh.

    Does leaving a single board computer caseless can be a problem or not?

    ...other than the logical factors of dust and the damage it can cause to components.

    t. Got a orange pi zero 3 running caseless for almost an year.

    Throwing all files in a .dot directory -- does it improves security of a docker container?

    Title. In other words, make a .dot directory, make it as $ROOTFS, in a distroless image, chown it to a specific user and group and then pack everything in it.

    Does making a tmpfs at $ROOTFS/tmp and then symlinking it with ~/.cache affects performance in any way?

    Title. Because I just did it on my Orange pi zero 3 and performance feels a bit slower albeit more stable compared to making a tmpfs out of both directories. That, or I might be speaking gibberish, idk. Just curious.

    Thanks in advance.

    So apparently if you echo "export PAN_MESA_DEBUG='gofaster'" > ~/.bashrc it will make pretty much everything faster. Now, if you do that but with "gofaster:gofaster" it will make things even FASTER...

    ...at the expense of breaking some commands here and there. Why is that? How come env values can have this much impact in performance "for free"? This MUST have some caveats, right?

    Thanks in advance.

    How do I check if a specific command is playing sound?

    Title. I'm trying to come up with a bash script that starts playing gregorian chants when a live stream is not playing sound. And to stop playing when the live stream stars playing audible sound again. Maybe something that monitors the volume of a specific command? I've no idea, honestly.

    Being a bit more specific... the live stream is being played via ffplay/yt-dlp and I'll use mpv to play the gregorian chants. Alsa.Thanks in advance.
