I am potentially going to be able to put Linux on my work PC soon, have been using it on my personal PC and laptop quite happily with hyprland ontop of NixOS...
Maybe for you. Kernel 6.6, Nvidia driver 545 (also tried 535), RTX 3080, GNOME or KDE Plasma, two WQHD 165 Hz monitors. Got flickers in certain applications (for example Steam or some Electron apps), apparently related to how long they need to draw.
Along with Baldur’s Gate Vulkan API halving FPS compared to Windows/AMD on Linux, or getting black models in DX11 (DXVK), certain games straight up flickering or showing other glitches.
YMMV of course, but I find it hard to believe people have literally zero issues unless they have a very limited use case for their system.
I switched to AMD for Linux and while it’s not perfect either, it’s so much better.
This. Instead of making commits time-based (for example once per hour or once per day), make them purpose-based (say, add a database migration in one commit, and change the color of a button in another one). This also makes it easy to cherry-pick or otherwise backport specific changes to different program versions gor example.
hi, I’ve been pretty happy with macOS recently on my m1 MacBook, really only because I’ve been paying for software from awesome devs who make great apps (plenty are open source, so most I use are not paid) and I’ve found my productivity increase like a lot....
If you find that macOS and the software for it lead to good productivity, I’d advise against ditching it solely for having to allow unsigned applications to run. It’s a few clicks once per app.
I didn’t use Asahi myself. I’d imagine it works for quite a few people, but I personally wouldn’t use it as a daily driver, because the community support is much smaller compared to popular distributions. I’d get a non-Apple computer for using Linux. You could just try it out though, obviously.
Sorry if this was asnwered before, but couldn’t find it. I can’t seem to find any groups that usually release really small sized 4k rips like rarbg used to do. Movies went from ~5GB to ~20GB, and I really can’t tell that much difference in quality that justifies 4x the size....
Music purchased from the iTunes Store is DRM free though. I think they actually upgraded purchases made prior to this change to DRM free versions (called iTunes Plus or something).
It supports both links and embeds and is available on firefox for android. List of sites is on github. I’m the main developer so you can ask questions.
I like that Linus is so strict on not breaking user space because this obviously aids with compatibility and it’s probably a big part of why rolling releases work.
But I sure hope Linus’ eventual successor won’t be toxic and…cringe. It’s hard to take someone serious when he’s raging this much.
Not sure I’d recommend getting anything resembling a computer with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage nowadays, but it’ll certainly still work.
I’d probably start with a minimal Debian installation (or Arch if you prefer being on the bleeding edge I guess) and then add GNOME desktop and whatever else I need afterwards. I don’t recommend checking the box that says “GNOME” in the Debian installer, as that installs a whole bunch of packages you’ll probably never use, and disk space is at a premium here.
Performance should be doable as long as you don’t multitask a lot, but don’t expect any wonders as 2 physical cores really isn’t a lot these days.

Not sure how it provides better anonymity when all your activity is linked to your account. Should this account somehow be linked to you, a malicious actor would know everything you (potentially ever) downloaded.
I want to run only qBittorrent through my VPN but with my current setup, I have a namespace for OpenVPN and qBittorrent runs entirely through it. The issue with that is that Sonarr and Radarr can’t access it. Because of that, I would like to switch my setup to use a network interface instead. What would be the best way to do...
You run a gluetun container and a qBittorrent container on which you set the “network mode” to the gluetun container. Then you put your *arr software and the gluetun container in the same (virtual) network so they can communicate internally. All containers using gluetun as their “network mode” have their ports available on the gluetun container. You can also put the qBittorrent container in your virtual internal network but then you have to make sure that the network is marked as internal to avoid traffic leaking.
So I am planning on buying an ipad, never owned one before.

For example on android I can torrent files of any nature or size without any restrictions and...
I’m asking this because one time, while browsing the GNU website, I noticed that some of the members’ emails had “gmail” on them!! And I asked myself how would that be possible??

so is it possible to watch pirated shows and movies together over the internet? me and my friends cant meet up because we’re hours away from eachother.
You can use watchparty.me as long as your upstream bandwidth is fast enough for amount of friends * bitrate, or you can selfhost it or get a premium account so their servers stream your file (so you only have to have bandwidth for a single stream yourself).
Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.Multiple commenters are saying I’m off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here’s the proof.
If I had to pick only one of the two, I’d prefer local blocking because it cannot only not load ads, but also remove the placeholder/frame the ad would’ve been in. It’s also better at circumventing anti-adblock scripts.
That being said, DNS-based blocking is great outside of browser use, and it blocks many ads and tracking attempts in mobile and desktop apps.
A combination of both is best, really. I use uBlock Origin in the browser (or AdGuard Pro with Safari on Mac and iPhone) and then NextDNS. NextDNS is configured rather conservative though, because it can cause things to break otherwise, and that’s hard to manage when you’re not the only use of your network.
Pre-Chromium Edge wasn’t even that bad. Sure, the engine had its issues and there was probably a bit of Edge-specific JS on some websites, but I’m sure they would’ve eventually got there.
But seeing that even Microsoft abandoned making their own browser engine, it goes to show how complex it is to make one nowadays and with new web APIs/features coming out every few weeks it feels like, it’s almost impossible to keep up.
And since you won’t be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility....
No way I’ll use YouTube with ads. The amount of your lifetime they waste is what I’d consider disrespectful to their users. Even if the ads were bearable, I wouldn’t turn off my ad blocker on any Google site for tracking alone.
I also don’t see myself subscribing to YouTube Premium, firstly because it’s too expensive (stop including your music streaming service and make it cheaper maybe?), but also because YouTube is just a platform with a lot of not curated content that YouTube had no part in creating.
Let’s see how the cat and mouse games between YouTube and ad blockers and alternative frontends go. If it’s too much of a hassle, I’ll just stop using YouTube. I don’t miss Twitter, I don’t miss Reddit, and I won’t miss YouTube.
