Not sure exactly how many blobs I need to install Linux on my pc. I know there’s proprietary stuff for my Nvidia card (optional) and possibly NIC, but most hardware is supported by the kernel these days?
Also, the play store. That’s my biggest issue with Android. Everything depends on the store.
I was afraid someone was going to point out that AOSP exists, but it’s not very useful.
The Android that everyone uses and talks about is very closed, because everything depends on the playstore.
I don’t have the answer to the best form of government, but communism doesn’t work. That has already been proven?
And capitalism is actually pretty good, until it turns everything into ads and destroys the planet :-/ I wish there was something better.
So why do so many people seem to think Linux needs to become bigger on Desktop?
Personally I am not looking forward to the consequences: capitalism will make sure there will be something on Linux to make money off. They will try to conquer it, introduce walled gardens, stores you will have to pay for, by watching ads.
Android was Open Source once until Google decided to mainstream it.
Thank you!
I still hate the trend of creating video’s of something that can be summarised in 2-3 lines of text. So I can ask, right?
And yes I am also a lazy mongrel. I think. What’s a mongrel? I am lazy.
How is that related?
Tl;dw?
I’m playing “Better than adventure” which has the Beta feel and without most of the stuff that was added afterwards (no hunger, xp, enchantments). Early game is hard! :)
I just reached the Brass age in my Create world (+ some QoL mods).
I’ve added Rotary Skies to my list of mods I’d like to try.
Based on 1.7.10? Woah. Was there a reason for that?
I could not turn off mouse acceleration, which was a deal-breaker for me.
Actually not Wayland’s fault if I remember correctly, something about libinput changing it’s format, and my window manager wasn’t compatible with it yet. After trying for several hours I found a bug report (can’t find it right now). The Devs thought it was a minor issue, but for me it was huge so I decided I’ll wait another year.
I must say, Wayland was smoooooth, didn’t even experience X as slow until I tried Wayland.
I think that that’s on purpose, don’t make it so easy to get all enhancements? Getting mending on your tools is a project or if you play on a server: something you can set up a shop for and earn diamonds once you’ve done it.
Care to elaborate?
I’m a hetzner user for years and if they are bad I haven’t noticed yet.
Ah but then you are talking about servers? That would be a different story! The machine that I use for development (laptop) should always work (I would trust nixos with this) and if I want to spin up a container (docker run) or install an application (apt install)or change my vpn client configuration it is currently effortless and I’m not sure nixos can do that.
Actually using nixos for some of my private servers would be a nice use case…
I’m very critical of all the immutable distrubtions - as an old timer in tech I’ve seen so many things come and go. I’m also curious, ofcourse, and already tried out a VM with NixOS and everything seemed fine. But I’m going to wait it out before something like that becomes my main driver, I have a job to do (development, systems, stuff) and I cannot afford to say “sorry little to no progress today, my OS needs tinkering”.
(Feel free to tell me I’m wrong :-) I love to tinker with new stuff).
Could even be a hard link… (some applications don’t like symbolic links).
Edit: or a mount point.
Make sure to stop the application, mount the drive and link it, start the application again You have a backup? :-)
I have good experiences with managing inputs and outputs with pavucontrol, which has a nice GUI. You can choose output per application (I have multiple outputs, headset-microphone on jackplug for meetings, a USB device for HiFi headphones, and a USB device that goes into speakers for when I’m home alone and my noise doesn’t bother anyone - pavucontrol covers that).
If you really want to go into the deep end you might try https://jackaudio.org/ but that’s a very deep end and I hope you won’t need it, but it’s very powerful.
Tuxedo is German? I had a laptop from them and it was perfect:-)
(It was a company laptop, unfortunately had to return it when I got a new job)
Incoming mail is very doable.
Outgoing mail is hard because no one will your trust your server, the easy way is let someone else send your mail.
People get stressed about your receiving server being down sometimes, but this actually not a big deal. Mail senders typically will try for 48 hours or so to deliver mail, and if it doesn’t get delivered it will be sent back to the sender with a “could not be delivered” message. Very little gets actually lost.
