the issue is that things like the DHT and PeX can leak your own home ip address, and local peer discovery can leak the torrents you’re seeding to local network devices.

Mullvad is very privacy oriented, hence it giving this advice.

on my normal desktop I use the flavor of the day DE, gnome is only used on my 40 inch touchscreen, because its the only one I could imagine being good on a touchscreen

If the issue is more prominent when the cursor is showing, it could be the hardware cursor (default on KDE) causing the issue. When you use hardware cursors, the cursor is rendered on a different ‘plane’ on top of the rest, possibly causing desync. You could try disabling it with a environment variable (I think it was KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR=1), forcing to software render the cursor.

550+ has Explicit Sync, which indeed causes a variety of issues still. Newer versions does bring things like multi monitor VRR, increased performance in VR and Wayland hardware cursors (and probably more).

DX12 support is usually handled through VKD3D, which has an open issue on the latest Nvidia driver. The ticket suggests you have to run at least Kernel version 6.9.3.

Rolling back the driver version would probably be through downgrade together with nvidia-utils and lib32-nvidia-utils, you can chain them in one command to satisfy the dependency resolver. e.g. sudo downgrade nvidia nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils. Make sure to check if you run nvidia or nvidia-dkms.

You could try clearing the cache in Heroic? It’s under settings -> Advanced

please killall

I see…

Simplest solution would be to setup the nfs/smb as storage for backups and making a backup schedule. Datacenter -> Storage -> Add -> SMB/CIFS

Datacenter > Backup > Add

“A bit loud” is understating it, those drives rip and tear (we use exos X18 drives). I pity the person trying to sleep next to those.

They are good though, while we had one (of 5) fail within the first week but that was quickly resolved.

All Linux iso’s, right?

A smart powerplug and/or a fingerbot would solve that problem I guess? But at that point it’s probably cheaper to buy a network connected picture frame.

You could use something like the Toshiba flash air?

Or the tld is .mobi

Systemd timer to poll upower when running on battery power, when battery is at 20%, use either system beep or set system volume and play a sound?

When a new game is released I usually check if it’s steam deck compatible, if it isn’t for no specific reason (like, a 2d platformer, I’m not going to expect a high fidelity 3d game to work) I’m way less inclined to buy it. The market is there and really should be picked up.

I don’t directly have a game recommendation, but make sure to launch the games once before your flight to get the dependencies installed too :) I forgot that last flight and couldn’t play half of the games I planned to because of it…

Missing the joke here? We run a 3090 and a 3900x just fine on ArchLinux.

My mind directly went to Laserdisc before I realized you were talking about the generic category 😅.

cd/dvd/blueray doesn’t become bad that fast, properly stored they can easely live to 50+ years (except the writeable variant). they are physically etched which helps with longevity.

VHS or other types of magnetic storage is more of a chore, they often don’t survive the passing of time.

Full 32 bit on 64 bit Unix support is a big thing in my opinion, even though most people won’t notice it (as an “extra” this also will allow running 32bit games on osx games and proper wine support on arm64 devices like your phone).

Also the additions to directshow will get more (older) games working properly.

From what I read this was some great work in the foundation of wine and hopefully accelerate their work even more.

The biggest feature of Wayland for me is mixed refreshrate monitors works OOB. On X this is a pain to get even remotely working and it’s impossible if your monitors aren’t dividable (120/60 works, 144/60 stutters).

This is from my experience something that is starting to be a way more common issue (high refreshrate laptops with 60 external monitors at businesses or high refreshrate monitor for gaming and a smaller secondary monitor for info lookup/discord).

other than that, Xorg does win the “more stable” prize for me, but if I wanted stability, I should’ve become a carpenter.

It’s quite a bad UX, but generally error 2 from make means the called program resulted into an error.

Usually this is accompanied with another error somewhere up the log. Multiple cores can make this a challenge to scan the log for however, so maybe try compiling without the -j argument, that should get the actual error closer to the end.

From my experience, it’s usually an outdated config for the kernel (like using a config for 5.1 while compiling 6.7) or a missing dependency. However the real error will be somewhere among the logs, who knows, maybe it’s a missing processor instruction (it’s really bad UX).
