  • Getting the right setup for Vaultwarden compose.yaml

    Jump

  • Never run something like Vaultwarden with unencrypted traffic. Throwing in a self signed cert is basically free insurance. You never know when even in your "trusted network" something starts listening in. Just why risk it?

  • Venturing into the world of black teas, I finally decided to try Earl Grey

    Jump

  • I heard him say in an interview that he tried to get the producers to let him use "Lapsang Souchong" (also a black tea), but they didn't go for it. I guess it was about something still ubiquitous enough so people would know it?

  • TUXEDO Gemini 17 Gen4 Debuts as Affordable Linux Desktop Replacement

    Jump

  • People seem to keep ignoring the part where I couldn't find any. Yes their naming sucks, but it won't say "Nnidia" next to the listing for the GPU, so that isn't the issue either.

    To go into a bit more detail: I was looking at linux-adjacent laptops (that I can buy without a Windows-license) up to 15" display, with gaming being a primary use case. This obviously includes that all components work with linux, and ideally it should ship with it. Preferably it should not be from one of the major brands (HP, Dell, Lenovo, ...), but if they got the linux compatiblity down, that would be fine. Finally it should have good repairability and allow me to open it to swap components (RAM, NVMe, ...) without affecting the warranty.

    So in the end I mostly looked at Tuxedo computers, Slimbook, SKIKK and one or two more where I can't remember the name. None of them have a laptop with AMD GPU at all, only iGPU. Furthermore, when you check the price comparison websites in the "notebook" category (like idealo for example) they let you filter for this sort of thing. Obviously they don't list every laptop that exists on the market, but they do list the popular brands (again HP, Dell, Lenovo, ...). When applying NO filters at all, there are over 6k laptops listed. Roughly 1500 of those have a dedicated Nvidia GPU. The total for AMD/Radeon? 16. yes. SIXTEEN.

    So I'm back to "functionally, they don't exist".

  • That is the iGPU, integrated into the processor. Of course they exist. I'm taking about dedicated, separate GPUs that are connected via PCIe. Like the mobile versions of Nvidias 4070 for example. I did look and search, but couldn't find a single example, so I concluded they don't exist.

    While iGPUs have come a long way, there is still quite the difference in performance compared to dedicated ones.

    Jump

  • As far as I can tell, AMD doesn't make dedicated mobile chips. Or they are so uncommon that I couldn't find any laptop with it that is Linux-ready.

  • Options for remote Wake-on-lan. Or I guess wake on WAN.

    Jump

  • Ssh over Internet is fine as long as it's properly setup (no password auth, root not allowed, etc.). Obviously a VPN is even better.

  • What's the story behind your username and avatar?

    Jump

  • You guys have avatars? Too much effort...

  • Qogir-style icons for Books, Build, and Games folders since the icon pack doesn't have them by default.

    Jump

  • Can't you have them be added to the pack? Open a pr or something?

  • Tmux 3.6 Update Adds Scrollbars, New Theme Mode

    Jump

  • I've been using Zellij whenever I can cause tmux is so limited. It'll also be probably years before this release hits Debian repos, so if I'm having to manually install a binary, might as well get something modern.

  • Locked

    I dunno

    Jump

  • But the USA seems to use PEMDAS? I'm confused now...

  • Framework stops selling separate DDR5 RAM modules to fight scalpers

    Jump

  • It's the same with other vendors though. I man those that allow you to swap internals without losing warranty. Bought my laptop with just a 16g stick (base price/included), then bought 2x24g for the price one additional 16g module would've cost. And now I got a 16g module left over, too.

  • E-ink smartwatch Pebble, back from the dead, now open source

    Jump

  • Doesn't have and never had an E-Ink display. It's a tLCD (t for transflective). It shares the property that it gets easier to read the brighter the ambient light is. It does not need to be cycled like E-Ink and is generally fast in comparison (closer to LCD in speed).

  • DFRobot router board with a CM4

    Jump

  • Or if you have separated your devices into subnets/VLANs. Which becomes more important as your get more hardware that you don't really trust.

  • Screw it, I’m installing Linux

    Jump

  • I had blocked the user, might have been before writing my reply. I guess that caused it to fail to the top level, weird. Deleted the comment as it doesn't make any sense there.

  • Might want to calculate out what the actual number is those "small" 3% represent. Or how the curve looks over time. how it changed from a mostly flat line to a very clearly and relatively steeply climbing curve.

  • CachyOS is basically vanilla Arch, from a resource point of view. They have their own repos, but they just mirror the arch repos. The arch wiki fully applies. For the very few special things, there is documentation (basically a few notes on gaming related performance options).

    So why use it? Carter it's trivial to install, and everything you need is preconfigured to just work with sane defaults. Installing it is like Mint or Ubuntu. But it uses optimized repos according to your available CPU instruction set, and optimized proton and wine (their own). Games just work (even more so than they already do generally), and are faster. Programs are faster (where it matters). But you don't need to do anything for that, it's just there by default.

  • After 9 Months on Mint I switched to Kubuntu and I'm loving it!!

    Jump

  • I would personally suggest looking into CachyOS or Manjaro.

  • Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be.

    Jump

  • They can't sell this at a loss, or at least it would be incredibly risky. This is (intentionally) "just a PC". It ships with SteamOS but you can of course install whatever you want, including windows. If it is (much) cheaper than a roughly equivalent normal PC, companies might just start buying them in bulk but obviously not generating the supporting sales needed.
