I was recently diagnosed epileptic and I’m starting to experience this phenomenon where I’m unable to tell the difference between dreams and reality.
I’m not even supposed to be driving yet, but I was under the impression that I had been for a while (in my dreams) only to find out my odometer hadn’t changed when I tried to drive IRL. Really jarring.
Unless your computer is exposed directly to the internet, your router’s firewall should be enough. Fedora typically has SELinux and AppArmor enabled by default which should protect from something nasty executing on your machine.
Don’t execute things as root if you don’t know what it is and you should be fine.
On desktop yes but not mobile.
The profile manager isn’t available on mobile, at least I couldn’t find it or switch accounts without completely signing out. Checks all the boxes for me on desktop though.
I travel a lot for work and stream Plex. All my media is in HEVC and I dont want to have to buy a video card for the server just so I can transcode it to Firefox when everything else can play HEVC out of the box.
Gentoo. It will be the last distro you hop to. Because it’s whatever you want it to be. Don’t be afraid. It even has a special command and portage repo to install all the support files and ancient libraries from 2002 your old games need in one shot.
You can snag a binary kernel, browser and some compilers now too if you don’t want to deal with that. It’s not much more difficult than Arch nowadays.
Really pleased with the Sony Xperia 1 V. It’s made out of this really nice grippy material and I’m getting 2 to 3 days on a full charge. Great camera too, and it’s basically stock Android.
Syncing 2 different sets of extensions, bookmarks and browsing history across devices reliably. I wish it did work, I hate running Edge on Linux. Even regular Firefox profile sync is kinda flaky for me though.
Profile switching is a big one for me.
Also kind of nitpicky on my end, but I would like to at least have the option for H.265 support. I know they can’t include it OOTB, but I can’t even buy a license compatible with FF.
Pydio and Seafile are alternatives I’ve tried. Pydio was pretty fast too. I agree with you on Nextcloud, I want to like it but I inevitably start having issues and it’s slow even after tuning. It just tries to do too much and shouldn’t be that complex to spin up a file server.
I skimmed through their privacy policy and I’m not confident Mozilla would approve. They can share the telemetry that comes from your car, including it’s physical location.
Yes the GameCube version’s controls sucked, it’s a bit better on the PS2 IMO.
The MLB Slugfest series. I don’t even like baseball, but they’d sneak these one liners into regular commentary and it just killed me.
“Everyone that came out to the ballpark today is getting a free piece of sandpaper”
It doesn’t make much of a difference in the kernel, but I definitely notice it on Debian’s Firefox vs Flatpak.
Something a Gentoo user might care about is the distro’s compile time options. Ubuntu uses -O2 and LTO, Debian uses -O1. Debian has always been noticably slower overall for me.
Don’t do what I did and go with Tumbleweed. It gets more updates than Arch.
No just LTO. Right now only Ubuntu, Fedora and SUSE Tumbleweed turn it on by default.
I’ve rebased a few of my containers with SUSE and noticed some improved load times on my web services as well. I don’t run anything demanding either, just bored. It’s like half a second improvement lol.
I have a System76 Pangolin 11 with the Ryzen 7 and the battery life is trash. It would die on me during meetings from a full charge if I was sharing my screen. Not blaming System76 on this one, its probably the AMD chipset all things considered.
Replaced it with the Thinkpad X13 Gen 2 and love it. Easily gets 8 to 10 hours on OpenSUSE, and everything just works.
I try to find ways to make my setup more bulletproof or faster whenever I get the itch. As an example, I recently switched to OpenSUSE and Podman to take advantage of the LTO optimized packages and rootless containers.
I tried to run my online life through self hosting but I found a lot of the services weren’t reliable or capable enough to get real work done. So I went from 30 containers to about 7 and have a lot less to tinker with.
They have a Dockerfile that enables hardware accelerated transcoding. It’s not available on their Dockerhub unfortunately. Works great with Nvidia.
A level 0 master scheduled part is a form of blow-through part that forecasts at a high level among products of a similar design and can be disaggregated to level 1 and netted against actual demands to yield supply proposals within the planning time fence.
