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.


<span style="color:#323232;">$ yay mullvad

</span><span style="color:#323232;">==> _

And it’s option 1. So easy. Type 1 and press enter and you’re done.

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,

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,

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.

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,

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

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,

I think this is entirely the reason…

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,

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

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,

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