The one thing I can’t get set up on Kate is leaving temporary text files open between sessions.
Probably a bad habit of mine but I sometimes end up pasting some info into a notepad++ file without saving it and then come back much later to check it out again
I find apps very useful for discovering places I can order from. Typically I will then visit their own website and see if they are cheaper when ordering directly
Heh, I guess I was one of those downloads. I wanted to set up an old PC I had lying around for gaming over the holidays at my parents place.
In the end I forgot that I maybe would need an internet connection and didn’t have a long enough ethernet cable to actually use it but I did install the distro at least. No idea how well it works though since the PC has a GTX 1050 ti and officially the image only supports RTX cards and the GTX 16xx series.
As an embedded dev, good luck not using C
This is the first time I’ve heard of booklore. Whenever I looked for ebook management software it was always calibre, calibre-web or kavita
If you put it on very low the cat will think it has a warmed bed
Probably Excel and Word alongside the already mentioned things
Goddamnit, I just watched a video yesterday where this topic was mentioned and now I see it everywhere
I’m afraid that philosophy doesn’t quite work when you are part of a friend group that’s playing together and you are the only one who even considers using Linux. I actually do play a lot of games on my dual boot Linux install but since we are currently playing a lot of battlefield I usually start Windows instead
Unfortunately I tend to like games that are still among the damn 10%, like battlefield 6.
Out of curiosity, do yoy know how Jellyfin handles network failures with mounted network drives?
I had a navidrome server where once my network machine failed to start properly, the entire database was deleted because it looked to the server like I deleted all of my files. I luckily had my favorites cached on my phone client and was able to restore most of my playlists from there but it was still an incredibly annoying thing to go through. I have since turned off automatic scanning of files for that service since that seemed like the only way to prevent this happening again
I have a pretty similar setup currently running but I bought a public domain that I use for my certificates.
I used to have a pi-hole as my DNS server where I entered all subdomains and pointed them at the right address, namely my reverse-proxy.
My reverse-proxy, Nginx Proxy Manager, got the certificates from my domain registrar and forwarded the requests to the correct services based on subdomain.
I mostly dislike using AI to code. The one exception I recently got into was when I was fighting with a python script and didn’t understand why it was behaving the way it did. I used AI for possible causes and pretty quickly managed to fix it. Sometimes it’s just nice to have some possible causes for a bug listed so you can check them out
If I host my own smart home with zigbee devices, does that still count as consumer IoT tech? The zigbee devices themselves are the typical philips hue, ikea tradfi, etc. devices
Meanwhile I just tried to set up a VPN connection for my laptop and can’t get wireguard to work properly
Definitely agree about the comfort of reading on it. Bigger screen, bigger text and a lot easier on the eyes for extended reading. Also no screen glare when reading out in the sun.
Honestly I found plex a lot simpler to set up when I started out.
In Jellyfin I had to wrangle the settings a lot when trying to set up hardware encoding since my streams kept crashing due to some codecs not being dupported by my CPU.
Depending on the specific model it is either an SSD or eMMC storage but you won’t be able to get to it without major disassembly of the device which includes removing the glued-on screen.
This surface is an absolute bitch to repair
Same. I still use the original Proteus Core labeled version. They have since re-released the mouse 3 times I think but my original is still going strong
Mainly kernel level anticheat, though that is obviously not really linux fault.
My other personal gripe is probably stumbling across a GTK based app that works for what I want it to do but clashes extremely badly with my Plasma DE.
For example, I wanted to set up automatic file backups to an SFTP server using borg. The two common UI interfaces I found are vorta and pika-backup. Vorta only supports SSH and local backup repositories while pika allows SFTP through some kind of compatibility layer with gvfs.
Seems like pika is the right choice for me but the UI felt incredibly dumbed down and really did not match with anything else on my PC. Since both programs were kind of out, I found another backup tool in Kopia.
The reason I was looking for a backup tool at all? I was previously using synology active backup for business, which is available on all linux distros except arch.
