kelvie, to opensource in I'm amazed at FreeCAD's abilities. It needs a better name. Thinking of it as simply "cad software" like calling a 2-GHz computer in your pocket a "phone".

Spreadsheet

Curious to hear what it’s like making parts with a spreadsheet. Is it like coding?

I use openscad a lot, and just tried using spreadsheets – adding parameters to each property in a part still seems really clunky, compared to editing a scad file in Emacs, which I vastly prefer, especially now that there’s AI code autocomplete.

kelvie, to opensource in open source pdf editor for linux based os?

What kind of edits are we talking? Firefox can add signatures and text now in its built-in pdf reader.

kelvie, to linux in "Must Try" distros and DEs?

If you’re a tinkerer it’s kind of addicting. I thought I’d give it a try just to see what it was like, and ended up staying up all night customizing it, and now about a month later I don’t really want to go back to KDE (been using KDE for almost 20 years)

kelvie, to selfhosted in Minisforum MS-01 announced. 2x10g sfp+, 2x2.5gbe, pci slot, 3xm2 slots. 2xUSB4 40g. What do we think?

If this can handle routing 10g this is a great choice to use as a router. It’s actually quite difficult to find a gateway that’s around this price and ISPs (at least here in Canada, or my part of Canada) are offering internet over 1Gbps at the same price as gigabit, but their routers are awful.

kelvie, to linux in AMD P-State Preferred Core Support For Linux Tried A 13th Time

I didn’t measure performance, I was talking about battery life, but no, I didn’t do any benchmarks.

kelvie, to linux in AMD P-State Preferred Core Support For Linux Tried A 13th Time

Even Intel has these. I think this patch set goes a bit further and takes into account the silicon lottery differences between cores (according to the patch series)

I’m using the patch set on my framework 7840u and didn’t notice a difference though, though this is really YMMV.

kelvie, to linux in Which distro in your opinion is the best for virtualization (Windows 10 on either KVM or VMware), stability, and speed?

Proxmox is a lot more user friendly than virt-manager (yes I’ve used both, but I just started using proxmox).

kelvie, to linux in Just about every Windows and Linux device vulnerable to new LogoFAIL firmware attack

Right, I know EFI images are stored in the EFI partition, but with secure boot, only signed images can be executed, so they’d need to steal someone’s signing key to do this.

kelvie, to linux in Just about every Windows and Linux device vulnerable to new LogoFAIL firmware attack

That’s… Stored in the EFI partition or changeable in userspace?

kelvie, to linux in Just about every Windows and Linux device vulnerable to new LogoFAIL firmware attack

So I don’t get it, I have my entire boot image in a signed EFI binary, the logo is in there as well. I don’t think I’m susceptible to this, right? I don’t think systemd-boot or the kernel reads an unsigned logo file anywhere. (Using secure boot)

kelvie, to linux in Linux Audio Nerds, Take Notice — The Fedora Audio Creation SIG is being revived

You didn’t have to tweak PIPEWIRE_LATENCY or adjust the latency in guitarix? In my setup the latency isn’t great out of the box.

kelvie, to linux in 10 REASONS why Linux Mint is the desktop OS to beat in 2023

I’ve used Linux for over two decades (red hat to Gentoo to Ubuntu to arch) and I must say it’ll be a tough sell to get me back to an RPM or a debian based distro solely due to how god awfully slow the package managers (dpkg and rpm) are.

Since Docker came along and brought with it the ride of Alpine and APK, it made me realize that system upgrades on a modern processor, fast internet, and an SSD should take seconds, not minutes.

kelvie, to asklemmy in What is the least SEO-fucked search engine?

But the problem is that this is what it costs for a search that doesn’t sell your data or advertise to you. Search is expensive.

Fortunately you do get into the habit of just searching sites directly, like wikipedia, MDN, archwiki, etc., rather than using up your general purpose searches.

It’s this, or sell your data to Google for free searches.

And maybe you’re right. Maybe it’s just not sustainable for searched to be paid, but Kagi is really transparent about their pricing. It’s just expensive unless it’s subsidized by ads or data collection.

kelvie, to asklemmy in What is the best anonymous image hosting site?

I wonder if there’s a federated solution for this, which means that you just need a techie friend who can self host this for you
