I know this is satire but Arch is like the worst distro for a newbie…

Technology@lemmy.world•Valve describes just how brutal RAM negotiations are in 2026English
1·18 days agoI have no problem competing with kbm players using controller. Gyro plus touch pad on DS4/Steam controller is a game changer. I regularly get crowns on Fortnite.

Technology@lemmy.world•Signal warns it would pull out of Canada if made to comply with lawful access billEnglish
7·2 months agoMaybe we should be looking at the larger picture here this is exactly why Signal or any other privately owned centralized messaging system can never be trusted. Stop using Signal or WhatsApp.
Look at alternatives like Matrix that are immune to this sort of thing.

Technology@lemmy.world•MSI's $80 AMD motherboards with DDR4 support swoop in to rescue gamers amid the global RAM crisisEnglish
2·5 months agoI just did the same thing 100 bucks 32gb ram I had lying around, still very cheap. Managed 4.7 GHz overclock with my existing 8350 cooler. It’s the best CPU with DDR3 though I hear there are comparable xeons.

Technology@lemmy.world•Discord Distances Itself From Age Verification Firm After Ties To Palantir’s Peter Thiel SurfaceEnglish
3·5 months agoThey definitely can track you just based on your RF profile a lot of big stores have these orb things that aggregate everything… Bluetooth, Cellular, WiFi signals and can track you wherever you go in the store along with video, at which point you buy alcohol and a computer scans your ID or you use a credit card and bam you are fucked. ID barcodes also include your address. It’s also the easiest one to fake.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down.
8·6 months agoAt home I leave it down, of I’m at a dive bar or something I leave the seat up so the next guy won’t piss all over the seat. That benefits everyone.

Linux@programming.dev•Initrd Support Could Finally Be On Its Way To Being Removed From The Linux Kernel
5·11 months agoClearly post does not understand kernel booting. Initrd will never go away, you need a way to tell the kernel to start systemd, which is usually part of initramfs. Both can be compiled as part of the kernel image which can be directly booted from EFI. So basically EFI->Kernel->Decompress InitramFS->Run Initrd Boot Script (usually ends by kicking off SystemD). Initramfs is compressed to reduce boot partition usage, load faster into ram (more noticeable on HDD). You want the bare minimum of kernel modules available in initramfs to load storage drivers, filesystem, LVM, LUKS. Everything else should be modules on the root filesystem, unless it needed for boot. You can compile these static into the kernel too. Generally modules are preferable as they can be unloaded/reloaded if there is an issue. Also updating initramfs modules is annoying. I wrote my own initrd scripts and custom initramfs. You can build it all with bash scripts and configure the kernel to include the payload.

Work Reform@lemmy.world•AI Killed My Job: Translators
1·11 months agoThe AI translations still suck big time. Yes I run whisper on my local stuff, but I shouldn’t be able to tell that much from Crunchyroll. Like common at least review the subtitles… What the heck am I even paying for

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Round Two: Can I manage to set up Jellyfin correctly this time?English
8·11 months agoIt’s perfectly fine to host jellyfin online. Use a proxy server to enable TLS and do not use default ports 80/443. Use letsencrypt for free certificates. No need for VPN to access here either. Do not expose any other ports such as SSH on default ports. Lock down your jellyfin server and any other related services behind a VPN service and block access to Internet through other interfaces (except for port forwards on your ISP for jelly). Go high on port ranges since they typically aren’t scanned or blocked. Go dual stack for best results and don’t use your router address for IPv6 more than likely you have your own /64 choose a different address for port forwards. Do not assign this address to your internal servers. Use a reserved unrouted IPv6 range internally and do NAT6. Do not allow any raw IPv6 internet access


So annoying that technology is so much more expensive these days. My steam deck is getting old and still appreciating in value its not how this is supposed to work. Like what the fuck. I am really fucking pissed. My old laptop from 2022 has 64GB of ram. I shouldn’t have to beg for more than 16GB of ram. Glad I built my server before all this nonsense started my $400 memory kit now retails for $4000. AI is complete fucking bullshit. It can’t be trusted at all. Every single google has wrong answers. Can’t even find legitimate websites anymore. We are so fucked. LLMs aren’t good and they never will be. Like yeah they can be useful but everyone is using them the wrong way. I started poisoning my reddit posts out of spite. Fuck them all. Ugggghhhhhhhhhhhh
