I actually did already mention, in Wayland you need to coordinate screen locking with the compositor (kwin), otherwise I'd be using swaylock.

VRAM or regular RAM? It doesn't use that much regular RAM.

I'm specifically looking for something that works with kwin_wayland, this being the KDE instance and all.

Not a chronic weed smoker, but how does weed help? Does it fulfill the same need?

And isn't this just trading lung health instead (and throat health, though I imagine alcohol isn't great for your throat either)

I think in terms of actually doing stuff AMD is close in terms of power draw (W/performance) but it's the little things like going to sleep and while completely idle that the entire MacBook draws so little power that needs to catch up -- and that's not entirely on the processor.

Size and easy to clean (and waterproof) is one, I have a ChefSteps Joule which is app control only, but it is much easier to clean, and much smaller than my old Anova (fits in a drawer with other crap)

Granted it is more annoying to use the app than the controls, but the trade off for us was worth it, if not for everyone.

After this news I switched to using KDE with Karousel, an animation plugin, and a rounded corners plugin (kwin scripts).

I also use a command runner plasmoid to somewhat replicate waybar from shell scripts.

Isn't this more of a litmus test of whether or not they have lime cordial in stock?

Well you have to state why it wasn't good. It was incredibly region-dependent, but if you live near one of their endpoints the latency wasn't noticeable and the quality was great, as it was for me.

In the end I got to play a bunch of games for free, and have an extra controller I still use, so there's that. They made us whole, at least, after they shut down (I even imported my into the breach save game into Steam with Google takeout after)

There are people reverse engineering the glasses right now (I have a pair):

https://github.com/wheaney/XRLinuxDriver

One of my longshot projects is to convert my framework laptop main board to exactly this. I basically use the glasses a lot more than the screen at this point (it's more convenient at night before bed)

I installed the beta with this, and I believe this fixed a bunch of flashing while streaming games from a KDE desktop in Wayland when streaming over 120fps using Sunshine (the desktop would flash every now and again, this didnt happen using Hyprland, which I switched back from)

Back during the WoW days (the flying mount expansion), every time I would walk home from Uni I'd think: "This would be a lot faster if I turned into a crow and flew over these houses".

I played a Druid.

Yes, yes, who needs speeds this fast, but it was cheaper than my 1Gbps plan before this.

Anyway, we switched for 3 weeks and it's been down twice for us now (both on weekends). It's like I'm beta testing their new backbone or something -- any other early adopters want to share their experience?

2023-07-19 Edit: since posting this it went down 3 more times. The TELUS on-hold music is starting to give me PTSD. There was something wrong with their backend where my network access hub kept getting un-registered (and my account getting unregistered), multiple times, but it's been okay for 24 hours now (knock on wood).

A tech came by monday morning to look at it, and all they did was call their backend team, but he gave me specific instructions to give the frontline support, which was useful, but still frustrating.

I'm at I think about a 50% rate on "if we get disconnected, we'll call you back".

 

I've been using gparted live for the most part to repair all sorts of stuff, but I'm wondering if anyone else has any other more modern recommendations, preferably even ones with Wifi or more graphics card support!

I also find installing deb packages to be way slower than they should be on a modern system (what are deb packages doing that alpine apk and arch packages don't??)

Bonus if they boot fast, too.

 

Does anyone have a recommendation for someone with a domain name and a k8s cluster where I can set up a simple image and/or video host?

I don't want to have to use Imgur anymore, and am more than capable of setting up cloudflared, and just want to share a screenshot or two, or perhaps show some friends something cool in a video game without having to go through YouTube or Twitch.

 

I've had the green "update available" icon forever in battle.net, has anyone tried anything to finish the update?

 

Right now when you hit Return (or it actually turns to a ✔️ in the search bar), all it does is close the keyboard. I think the better behaviour would be to do the search.

Great app btw, and didn't know you were on my home instance (and country?? 😁)

 

Just wondering how many of us use ipv6 for our local hosts, as with my router upgrade, my ISP only allows me to have 253 IP ipv4 addresses (and I don't want to have to buy a new router/gateway, a 10gbe router/gateway is expensive).

Anyway, do you guys use statically assigned ULA addresses? Statically assigned global addresses? DHCPv6? SLAAC? What do you guys do for DNS resolution, avahi/mdns everywhere (given that ipv6 addresses seem to change all the time).

I've currently mostly gotten ipv6 working (dual stack) on machines I touch, my my k3s cluster is out of commission until I can figure out a way to not have them consume any precious ipv4 addresses.

I'm not even sure what prefix I want to choose for the cluster / service CIDR, should I be using a ULA or the one specified https://docs.k3s.io/installation/network-options#dual-stack-ipv4--ipv6-networking, 2001:cafe:42::
