mvirts, to linux in Linux file transfer speed bottlenecks?

I would put money on rsync being the issue, it’s not fast

mvirts, to lemmyshitpost in We're totally screwed

That checks out

mvirts, to lemmyshitpost in Everything I hate in one pic

Same

mvirts, to linux in Thanks for my free therapist session

I’m gonna come clean: I used awesome wm for years, never touched the configuration once 😹. Now I do the same with gnome

mvirts, to linux in What are some must have Linux compatible VSTs?

You can run vsts natively on Linux these days… Not that I actually do 😹but surge may make me give it a shot, I didn’t know LV2 is unsupported

mvirts, to linux in Does Nix's break from FHS cause problems?

Oh I remember trying this, I should give it another go!

mvirts, (edited ) to linux in How do I create a docker container with custom programs inside?

Idk anything about those softwares, but I would bet if you set up the hide.me client in a container you could add it to the same network in compose then configure all the other containers to use it as their gateway… I’m probably missing some details and you may need to rebuild all of your containers, or maybe just change the network settings in your compose yaml?

mvirts, to linux in I feel like I'm missing out by not distro-hopping

Nothing, unless you’re not using nixos, then everything 😹

mvirts, to linux in Good Nix OS series: five articles for new users.

I think ultimately

Sudo nix-collect-garbage --delete-old

Is my go-to command. For a while I was looking at generations manually, but now I just wait a while (days, a few reboots, or until I need more space) to run this after changing things in case the new stuff is broken.

I think running this as my normal user cleans out old env generations… But I’m not 100% sure.

mvirts, to linux in Good Nix OS series: five articles for new users.

I do think it’s important to emphasize the difference between installing software in user environments and system wide, which is why the tool is named nix-env. System packages must be installed via the nixos configuration file and a rebuild.

To me the biggest missing piece for new users is a tool to help manage your system configuration and reduce the frustration of having to constantly look up nix syntax or nixpkgs quirks. Maybe thinking of it as a nixos/nix IDE? Also a polished distribution built on nixos would be a good starting point (and easy to do, I didn’t realize I could just copy someone else’s configuration until well after I had my system working well enough)

The other thing that got me starting out is the need to garbage collect old packages. It’s not strictly necessary if you have a large enough disk, but it took me several iterations of filling my root partition before I figured out how to properly clean up old generations.

mvirts, (edited ) to lemmyshitpost in mHz is superior

mNs/g

mvirts, to linux in (Constructively) What is your least favorite distro & why?

You can’t have the best of both worlds

mvirts, to linux in Help w/ crash

Looks like dmesg isn’t being logged to disk… But I made my font smaller 😹 https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/7d5b658b-f029-4cce-aeeb-ddcce9760426.jpegDefinitely more to go on there, this happened while playing Minecraft with a small human so I didn’t dig into it yet. I’m pretty sure the kernel I’m running was built by a derivation that applies some preempt patches so I’ll start there. Ubuntu works fine with the adapter, but it’s also not a preemptable kernel.

mvirts, to lemmyshitpost in well grounded

And now the spell is complete

mvirts, to linux in Help w/ crash

It’s a 3770k… So super old? 😅 The USB nic is this guy: CF-953AX a.aliexpress.com/_mNfj796

Maybe I should set up a config that doesn’t use a preemptable kernel for when I want faster wifi :P

Maybe this is my chance to actually fix something kernel related

Thanks for taking a look at this, your comments are super helpful.
