luthis,

Can’t I just download a file and install it?

Yes, there are instructions on the page for that, the section is titled ‘Installing the app without the Mullvad repository’

luthis,

As a side note, dealing with adding repos and keys and all that is something I will never miss from apt. I use Arch and installing things is usually as simple as… well let me check.

how do i efficiently attach audio to an image

hi all, ive tried using shotcut and kdenlive but the outputted file ends up being huge. i have a single image and want to put audio on top (releasing a song) but these programs end up making video files where they render the same image on each frame and the files end up being huge. what is the best way to achieve my use case of...

Me vs my ISP

So I was looking into getting port forwarding set up and I realized just how closed-off the internet has gotten since the early days. It’s concerning. It used to be you would buy your own router and connect it to the internet, and that router would control port-forwarding and what-have-you....

luthis,

“My food is included in rent. Which is convenient for day-to-day eating but gives me less capacity for cooking my own meals. Like, I admit it, the system works really well for normal people, I’m just a weirdo who likes tinkering with recipes, hosting dinner parties, and whatnot”

There, I highlighted the absurdity even more for you. You’re not a wierdo, you’re a tech-chef.

luthis,

Well, people have been forking recipes forever. I’m sure we will get closer to that reality eventually

luthis,

For a lot of what I do, its the only way to do it.

For everything else, there’s MasterCard.

luthis,

I just discovered that I know emacs commands because I use them in the bash terminal all the time.

Hey look, it’s us:

luthis,

Pretty sure I did with mplayer and/or feh but it was years ago

Proton VPN on Linux looks very different from Windows. How do you select one of their P2P options for faster torrenting?

Pretty much what the title says. I noticed that ProtonVPN Linux has an EXTREMELY limited interface compared to their program on Windows. I also do not appear to have the option to bind qBittorrent to ProtonVPN the same way that I did with MullvadVPN. Has anybody experienced ProtonVPN on Linux and successfully used it for...

luthis,

Something recently broke the client and now it says invalid credentials all the time. I gave up with the client and just downloaded the openvpn files and use those.

Torrenting works…

Sign up to my onlyfans and I’ll hack together a nice Linux client for ProtonVPN and Drive.

luthis,

I think this is entirely the reason…

luthis,

Can you remove the GPU and use onboard?

It is mentioning gpu in the errors, so it would be the first thing I would try, to see if the errors change, because I have no idea what’s going on here

luthis, (edited )

After boot, I’m using 2GB. I haven’t noticed Linux doing the ram-hog thing like Windows at all. But Firefox is currently using 8GB.

Just restarted Firefox and it’s using 2.5GB now. I think it stores a lot in ram from video.

luthis,

My DE is Gnome which uses a bit. Haven’t really looked into it further, because I still have 62GB of ram free after startx. Haven’t maxed it out yet.

luthis,

Arch is for advanced people

I’d say mid… the Arch install process has got a lot simpler over the years and the wiki a lot better.

If you can google duckle effectively, I reckon even a sharp-minded beginner could handle it.

luthis,

To break from the trend (because I recommend Mint as well),

Check out the options on distrowatch.com, test out any live distros you can. When you have some understanding of GRUB then dual boot, and then triple.

Inevitably, you’re going to end up using Arch because it’s so easily managed and you get to choose each component. But it’s better if you have experience with the different components first. I completely missed out on learning RPM (package manager), I went from Mint (apt) to Arch (pacman). I did resurrect a lot of old laptops and desktops with various different distros though, and I learned Gnome and xfce, LXDE, MATE, and i3, xmonad…

There’s a lot to learn but it’s all fun, and it’s all different. When you go to a tiling window manager, you’ll understand why Windows adopted (albeit shittily) tiling in it’s latest version.

luthis,

I haven’t actually touched selinux at all… It’s not ‘officially supported’ in Arch yet, although there are compatible packages available. I only recently discovered PAM which I have yet to learn too.

How to automatically assign classes in GRUB?

Hi, I'm not the most expert user, but I've been messing with my latest linux install for a few months. I costumized the look of the GRUB, but whenever the kernel gets updated and the grub.cfg gets regenerated, the classes of two entries do not generate (efi and submenu), leaving the entries with no icons (which are determined by...

luthis,

Yeah, metal as fuck WiFi regressions!

luthis,

How did you get on with this? I was looking to do this myself.

It’s that one step closer to having a customised disposable distro

luthis,

You could try kdenlive.org and www.openshot.org

I haven’t done much editing, but they are fairly popular and decent tools. They also come as an AppImage, which means they pretty much ‘just work.’

And handbrake.fr gets a mention for transcoding.

It's funny how google pretends the music on YouTube isn't straight up piracy and everyone just goes along with it

Most people have extremely weird ideas of what’s considered piracy and what isn’t. Downloading a video game rom is piracy, but if you pay money to some Chinese retailer for an SD card containing the roms, that’s somehow not piracy. Exploiting the free trial on a streaming site by using prepaid visa cards is somehow not...

luthis,

Live music isn’t what I’m referring to though, it’s the ripped and uploaded albums

luthis,

So does that mean albums ripped and uploaded to Youtube do result in royalties being paid to the artists?

What about in the case where there are no ads?
