redcalcium,

Don’t use the official Reddit app. Instead, grab the last release apk of Sync for Reddit from apkmirror, then use revanced manager to patch it with your own api key (and probably patched out the ads while you’re at it).

See this guide for more info.

redcalcium,

If you missed them maybe you can persuade those wikifeet contributors to join your lemmy instance.

redcalcium,

Could’ve been worse. Could be unprettified json.

redcalcium,

How do you curate your mastodon feed? How do you find interesting people to follow? I haven’t created a mastodon account yet because I honestly not sure how to do this.

redcalcium,

My desktop crashed three times so far after updating gnome, linux kernel and nvidia driver two days ago. Not sure who’s the culprit, but I’ll blame nvidia by default.

redcalcium,

Thanks! Some of the tips are certainly not obvious to people not familiar with mastodon like me (follow a lot of people first to discover stuff they boosted then prune it later, follow people that boosts a lot).

redcalcium,

“read the friendly manual”

redcalcium,

It’s a long shot, but sometimes when I have issues with proton which I can’t figure out, switching from Wayland to X11 (or vice versa) magically fixed it.

redcalcium,

Can you write your own kernel module for your WiFi card without sneaking into Broadcom headquarter to stole the internal product documentation?

redcalcium,

The one that bother me the most about Wayland is the future of *BSD desktop. Can you run Wayland on NetBSD/FreeBSD yet? Also, currently you can run x server on Mac so you can run X11 apps remotely for example. Is there any attempt to make waypipe work on MacOS?

redcalcium,

Scientist: Tell us what side effects the medication caused?

Test subject: my diabetes somehow is acting up again

Scientist: Oh

redcalcium,

My desktop would crash back to login screen after playing mass effect legendary edition. After exiting the game, if the desktop idle for a while, the moment the automatic screen off kick in, the CPU fan would whirl and if I wiggle the mouse, the desktop would immediately crash back to the login screen. Not sure whose fault it is, nvidia 545, EA, wayland or gnome.

redcalcium,

VLC usually can handle everything you throw at it. The other popular and capable media player is MPV, though it’s not as user friendly as VLC but has tons of advanced features.

redcalcium,

No! If capitalism gone, my 0.0000000001% chance of becoming a billionaire would be gone as well!

redcalcium,

CoD players won’t play another games because there’s not enough storage left to install another games? Sounds like what Activision would do.

redcalcium, (edited )

Wait, so the benchmarks mostly contradict claims that bcachefs is almost as fast as ext4 except in application startup time? What kind of test performed for that application startup time benchmark?

redcalcium,

I think it’s not btrfs that’s slow, it’s bcachefs that’s insanely fast. Bcachefs almost as fast as ext4 while having that many features is insane.

redcalcium,

People behind cgnat is probably less likely to seed and thus less likely to get their IP address logged by these outfits. That’s just my pet theory though, not sure how to confirm it. Anyone ever heard of someone behind cgnat and still got the love letter?

redcalcium,

No amount of funding will make native desktop icon happen if the devs simply don’t want to implement then.

redcalcium,

These days I don’t even bother installing fail2ban or changing ssh port anymore. I’ll just disable root and password login and be done with it.

redcalcium,

“You do you, bro 👍”

— Jesus probably

This might work:

  • install an x server app in your phone (e.g. XSDL) and start it
  • install Termux from f-droid (the one in play store hasn’t been updated due to changes in play store policy that prevents Termux package manager from working)
  • in Termux, run something like DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0 ssh -Y user@hostname
redcalcium,

Here I am admiring how the AI finally get the fingers look right until I noticed the extra arm.

Hedgehog’s spine, anteater’s snout: Long-lost mammal rediscovered in Indonesia (www.cnn.com)

Scientists have rediscovered a long-lost species of mammal described as having the spines of a hedgehog, the snout of an anteater and the feet of a mole, in Indonesia’s Cyclops Mountains more than 60 years after it was last recorded....

redcalcium,

Kempton’s team survived an earthquake, malaria and even a leech attached to an eyeball during their trip.

Yep, just your average Papua forest exploration experience.
