Do you have any tips using KDE Connect with a local VPN (Wireguard)? It works great for me on the same network, but unfortunately fails to connect outside of my network despite one (or both) devices connected to my VPN
Protonmail–I’ve used them for my custom domain email for the last 4 years and have had very few problems (other than needing to recompile the Protonmail Bridge app so I could use it on an ARM server)–I think I pay around $50/year. I selfhost Nextcloud for everything else (files, calendar, news, etc.)
How does Hogwarts Legacy run on the Steam Deck? With a GTX 2060 and FX-8350 I am unable to get good frame rates, even on the lowest settings
Yes and no. As my physics professor used to say, all models are wrong, our goal is to make the least wrong model. It’s literally impossible to simulate every event. For example, what if there was an anthill under the area where the rock is dropped? Maybe that will affect the resulting sound? Maybe, but it’s not going to make a difference to the observer.
We know enough physics to simulate a huge number of simultaneous events, but at some point a model becomes far too complicated (e.g. taking a week to run on a powerful computer), when a more simplified model will do the trick just fine. I personally compare it to FLAC and MP3–FLAC is of course best quality, but will eat up a ton of storage space, and MP3 (with compression) is good enough
I thought he was de-listing January 1st?
Delisting if the fees were not changed–they were. While new devs should probably steer clear of Unity, a game where development is 95% done should be released
Savages … and legends
Very true–the specific EOS repo has given me a bit of trouble in the past, but it takes like 3 commands to remove it and then you’ve got just arch (although some purests may disagree 🤣)
I disagree–a system (even Arch!) should be able to update after a couple months and not break! I recently booted an EndeavourOS image after 6 months and was able to update it properly, although I needed to completely rebuild the keyring first
If Beehaw defederates, I will no longer think or care about Beehaw, since at the end of the day, the power of federation is by far the coolest thing in the fediverse; I am not interested in joining another Reddit clone! No hard feelings though, do what you think is right!
Thanks for the monthly reminder to open DavX5 🤣
Have you ever considered Father Ted?
I found a deal for a Racknerd KVM VPS on lowendbox.com–I’m not seeing the same one, but similar offers pop up often!

I’ve got Jellyfin on a cheap ($20/year) VPS, and used SSHFS to attach it to some external hard drives attached to a Raspberry Pi. My upload speed is only 10 mbps, but that seems enough for most movies and TV shows, and multiple users can watch simultaneously via SyncPlay. Transcoding works too (up to 1080p)
I believe typing [email protected] will redirect to the community without leaving your home instance!
I’ve been running my own Nextcloud instance since 2020, which, combined with ProtonMail, has replaced basically everything I was using Google/Microsoft for
I’ve had a ton of issues with Jerboa, but thus far Connect for Lemmy is working well!
Fingers crossed indeed!!! Latest kernels do for sure work better, but not quite there yet (crashing ~80% of the time when hot unplugging, more often if programs are running)
My last test was last week with the latest distros, I’ll definitely follow along with the latest kernel updates. I was just testing with the default installed kernel (which I think is above 5.14)–eventually I’ll need to throw on the surface-linux kernel which lags behind a bit, but I’d be happy to help contribute to that once eGPUs are supported by mainline
I very regularly complain about the eGPU issue on Linux, since I want to swap so badly–every program I use (with the exception of Drawboard PDF, which operates on a universal standard) is cross platform, and I have successfully installed a wide variety of linux distros on my laptop and got everything working well (even pen input on Xournal!!).
However, I use an Nvidia eGPU to drive three additional monitors I use for work, and on Linux I am unable to hotplug my eGPU, instead requiring a login/logout (or at least me closing all my open programs, which defeats the purpose of hotplug). I’ve tried Wayland/Xorg, and distros varying from Fedora to Pop OS (so far, my best experience was on Kubuntu/Wayland, but the computer still regularly crashed when disconnecting). I wish I were a better programmer, since then I could figure the issue out myself!
As soon as the Linux kernel has better support for hotplugging, I will never need to boot Windows again!
Edit: I am not unfamiliar with Linux, and I’ve been running Linux servers for well over a decade–I just have little experience in the realm of graphics drivers
