luthis, to asklemmy in What are the best fediverse alternatives to youtube?

I use Odysee, it has plenty of content. I’d like to hear what other people use as well.

That’s not federated though, just an alternative that uses LBRY

Kill bread, fuck pasta, and marry rice.

That beautiful delicious rice. mmmmmm

luthis, to linux in Using cgroups to limit I/O · André Carvalho

I just discovered cgroups, so it’s cool to see some practical examples here.

Looks like not far off having easily managed load-balancing for I/O which is pretty cool.

luthis, to linux in What happens when Linus dies/retires?

Can’t you compile your own kernel with exactly the things you want? Would be a fun project to do

luthis, to linux in New Linux user here. Is this really how I'm supposed to install apps on Linux?

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.

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

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, to linux in Package up and transport a linux?

It’s really hard to [accidentally] permanently break Linux to the point of requiring a reinstall.

Here’s a really good tip: Keep a live distro (I use Mint) on a USB drive. If something real bad happens, you can boot into the live distro, and chroot into your OS and do the repairs you need. While also having a live distro with web access and a browser to help.

I broke my GRUB once (or twice) and fixed it again this way.

Keep a backup of your /boot folder, GRUB (or equivalent) configs, etc, also check documentation on Arch wiki for boot process. 99.9% of the time you should be able to fix things to at least get to a TTY after boot.

luthis, to linux in Why does the new version of Kubuntu take longer to start the wifi connection?

True, but for this purpose it’s totally fine.

There’s also a big disclaimer at the top of the file:

cat grub.cfg

DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE

It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates

from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub

Wording could probably be less DOOM SHALL BEFALL YE, as long as you aren’t messing around and just adding logging it’s not an issue.

More info on grub here: wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB

luthis, to asklemmy in What would happen if we put a giant glass tinted dome over each city?

Is this a viable solution to way to avoid the effects of climate change? It’s unrelated. The whole thing is to emit less carbon. If the dome does that, then yes.

Would it be cooler in the dome? Dude, domes are very cool. That’s why chrome-dome is such a compliment. In terms of temperature, probably not. Heat needs to dissipate, and any sealed area is going to maintain thermal momentum more than an open space. Unless you started out cold, then it would stay cold for longer than an open space.

Would there be any negative repercussions? Yes. But you’ll have to be more specific. It would be a huge undertaking that probably wouldn’t be possible, emit lots of carbon, probably be protested by a lot of people, huge waste of resources, etc etc. Not to mention this experiment has been attempted many times and never been successful.

Would clouds form inside the dome? Could it rain in the dome? If it was big enough, and therefore yes.

Would the rain be more toxic than usual because car fumes wouldn’t dilute as well? How big do you want this dome to be?? It would have to be absolutely massive to make it worth having cars inside.

Could outside lightning break the dome if it got struck? Well, it’s going to be pretty thick isn’t it, so unlikely. It would blacken and melt the glass over time. But at the scale you’re suggesting, it’s essentially a mountain that would peak above the clouds.

Would there be a single point in the dome that the sunlight would be directed to that everyone would just have to avoid, else they just burst into flame? As … fun as it would be to be smitten by the sun, I expect the glass would be so thick, it would be quite dim inside so, I don’t think so.

luthis, to asklemmy in Should an altruistic organ donor be allowed to restrict their donation to a specific group of people? (e.g. women, gingers)

Excellent question. I have to put myself in their shoes. I don’t want my kidneys going to… a member of the North Korean dictatorship, or the CCP. Or any of the elite in Dubai. I don’t see anything wrong with my preferences there, so we would have to allow people to discriminate indiscriminately. I guess I would have to be in favour. There are people that I think are more deserving than others. Jeffery Dahmer isn’t getting my organs.

luthis, to asklemmy in do you guys shop on places like aliexpress/Temu and if you do what items have pleasantly surprised you?

ClimateTown really drove home how hilariously bad fashion is for basically everyone

luthis, to asklemmy in Why do Gezendong-style-tankies support Putin and Xi-Xinpin so much ?

I’m quite prepared to believe the US is involved here. There are lots of weapon sales and talk of investing in the rebuild.

Follow the money

luthis, to linux in Looking to switch to Linux in the somewhat distant future

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.
