I loved my Pixel 4a with LinageOS. It was the perfect form factor. Sadly, I had to give it up when my banking app decided that it was exclusively only for Android/IOS and deemed LinageOS to “unsafe” which was bull shit.

I’ve always been secretly jealous of Samsung hardware, then I remember how terrible their software is and buy the newest Pixel.

Yeah, I would at least try a different distro before tossing the GPU

Which distro? Switch to Wayland, I’ve only experienced screen tearing with Xorg. Edit, it’s probably your hardware.

Cliphist sounds like it might work for you. Depending on what’s running under Gnome you might need a few dependencies.

I’ve had nzbgeek for years.

It’s an old game but I recently discovered Kittens Game. I also love Balatro, but Kittens it is more complicated and deeper. It’s basically balancing spreadsheets for fun. Don’t look at the wiki until you can get 120 kittens.

Because modern hardware includes instructions that old software could not benefit from. For example H.264 video decoding has specific instructions physically designed into the silicone to speed up playback that isn’t there on older hardware.

That being said, it really depends on the use case and a lot of “modern” software is incredibly bloated and could benefit from not being designed as if RAM is an unlimited resource.

I can’t prove it but I think the Kirkland paper towels quality has gone down too.

Vinyl records, analog tube amplifiers, a good pair of speakers 🤌

Honestly though digital compression now is so good it probably sounds the same.

That’s a good point. The model weights could be voltage levels instead of digital representations. Lots of audio tech uses analog for better fidelity.I also read that there’s a startup using particle beams for lithography. Exciting times.

Well I guess I’m Doomed then.

I use it to ssh into my desktop every time I reboot because the SDDM systemd unit has to be restarted manually. Light DM had the same problem. It’s annoying, but running Arch on Proxmox with GPU passthrough isn’t easy to troubleshoot with so many variables especially when Proxmox is set up to be headless.

Ever notice how every time some tech oligarch publicly states how scarred they are of their own models a new round of burning capital starts?

When the Arch wiki was getting DDOS’d a few weeks ago I got a local copy from the AUR that was pretty handy.

Vista needs way more glass and bubbles.

I’m guessing his business partner passed from congestive heart failure, burgers are probably 🔥 tho.

Nice revision. If you’re including TOR I would say Tailscale could be considered for a VPN. I’m hosting a Gitea instance completely for free on their service. It’s on my hardware, but it’s their domain.

Congrats on the setup. Is that proxmox I see in the background?

They can pull jetbrains-mono out of my cold dead terminal.
