Could it be that the manjaro repos have older versions of the HIP runtimes then what blender 4.0 is built for? Just a thought. Either way I would report it to the blender devs so they can fix it if it’s a bug

Was going to upvote then saw them install chrome. Just why? Use Firefox or Chromium

Don’t you mean coreboot, as the point of Libreboot is that it’s a coreboot distro that’s as open and libre as possible

Void user here. If you’re having trouble with musl then just use the glibc base image. As they offer both C implementations.

Hardware security key options?

I've been thinking about getting a hardware security key and have heard of yubikey before; but I want to see what my options are and if they are worth it in your opinion.
My current setup is a local KeePassXC database (that I sync between my PC and phone and also acts as TOTP authenticator app), I know that KeePass supports hardware keys for unlocking the database.

I am personally still of the belief that passwords are the safest when done right; but 2FA/MFA can greatly increase security on top of that (again, if done right).
The key work work together with already existing passwords, not replace them.

As I use linux as my primary OS I do expect it to support it and anything that doesn't I will have to pass on.

PS: what are the things I need to know about these hardware keys that's not being talked about too much, I am very much delving into new territory and want to make sure I'm properly educated before I delve in.

Nitrokey would probably be my choice as both the hardware and software are open source( in fact you could probably build your own if you wanted to). I don’t trust yubikey as the firmware that runs on them is closed source so you just don’t know of it’s actually secure.

I’ve been reading to much manga, I started reading the panels backwards😅. Great comic though!

I'm looking for a privacy respecting vacuum robot

I’m looking for a vacuum robot preferably under 500€ and with a cleaning station. My main concern is that most robot vacuum providers seem to need to be connected to the internet. Are there any providers that either don’t need that, where I can block the internet connection or any other way not getting a spy in my home?...

Why don’t you get a shark vacuum cleaner. Honesty those make vacuuming kinda fun( it even has headlights!). You can stick some headphones on, listen to some music you like, and you even get some exercise! And you can still vacuum when the WiFi goes out!

Now if you’re disabled or something I understand the need for a robot, but otherwise you could save a ton of money, get exercise, and have zero privacy concerns.

Wait so it’s not just that my vps only has 1gb of ram?

You guys with more ram still get crashes?

Happy new year!

I’m looking at switching to 90% terminal applications this year.

It looks like a cool distro if you want/need a highly configurable package manager that makes your system easily reproducible.

But if you’re just looking to learn more about Linux and learn more about how your system is set up then your average distro you might just want to go with Arch, Void, or Gentoo.

Matrix client

  • iamb a CLI matrix client with a vim like interface

Bookmark manager

  • BMKS works with or without dmenu and or fzf

Password manager

  • Pass the standard Unix password manager

File managers

  • lf like ranger but faster and written in go.
  • vifm another terminal file manager with vim style key bindings

I don’t know if Lemmy can do it yet, but I remember Reddit and also Facebook( I think) lets you set a minimum account age to post in a community. So we might want to get our mods to do that.

I wouldn’t call mint old. It has

  • Massive repos and tons of 3rd party ones
  • A reasonably modern desktop environment( if you don’t like it get a theme pack, or are you to lazy to install a theme.)
  • Stability which most new users will value a lot, as I’m sure they don’t want to learn exactly how Linux works on day 1.
  • Everything just works out the box on reasonably well supported hardware( aka the manufacturer gives a dam about Linux users or it’s a thinkpad)

So I don’t see how mint is a boomer OS because unless you’re a dev or an enthusiast it has everything you need

Because every totalitarian government in history has gone so well for the people under them

Gentoo goes Binary (packages) (www.gentoo.org)

To speed up working with slow hardware and for overall convenience, we’re now also offering binary packages for download and direct installation! For most architectures, this is limited to the core system and weekly updates - not so for amd64 and arm64 however. There we’ve got a stunning >20 GByte of packages on our mirrors,...

@LainOfTheWired@lemy.lol avatar

I think it’s a good move. It doesn’t take anything away from people who want to keep compiling everything, but now people on especially old laptops can enjoy the distro too.

Though I will probably continue being a void user this makes me want to use gentoo more then it did before.

That looks epic!

Please add the ability to view images with an external image viewer as I find a lot of social TUI apps seem to lack that.

Add that and you’re making my ideal Lemmy client

Wouldn’t you want to just want to type q! As you’ve probably opened it and accidentally made changes you didn’t want to. So you wouldn’t want to save the config file. Or the text file you just created.

If you want something that’s under £100 and don’t mind Bluetooth check out the soundcore life Q30s.

Honesty the first time I tried them I though they cost double what they actually do, and they’ve been my daily driver since.

For some reference I also have some audio technica ATH-M50Xs, but I find these more musical and they have ANC so I daily drive these and use my M50Xs for critical listening when needed( I’ve added that just so you know that I know what decent audio sounds like and don’t think that cheap beats knockoffs are good).

If you want to talk about underrated look into POWER CPUs.

Motherboards like the tallos 2 are completely open source( except for an nvme storage controller) and they already offer x86_64 levels of performance. The only con right now is software support and the cost.

LainOfTheWired, (edited )
@LainOfTheWired@lemy.lol avatar

and the cost.
