@FrankTheHealer @KarnaSubarna Setting displays to run at 144Hz has worked for ages. VRR is a different feature, where the display’s refresh rate syncs to the framerate being pushed to it by your OS. Most environments have supported that for ages too, but some things haven’t. Mutter moving to support it is a big step toward it being universally available.
@madcaesar @otl It’s a small server running OpenBSD, configured to operate as a router and/or firewall.
Linux and the *BSDs can operate as very good routers and firewalls, usually being much more configurable and enabling you to do more complex than off-the-shelf consumer-level hardware routers. Using them on a small form factor computer with a cheap switch in front of them can give you a better performing and nicer to use alternative.
@flashgnash Yep, just once to transfer the terminfo files and resolve this.
The SSH kitten is pretty useful though. If you use it in combination with kitty’s --single-instance mode, you can start new kitty windows in the same SSH session without logging in again using its shared connection feature. Hugely convenient for how I work at least.
@flashgnash @Laser Connecting once with its ssh kitten resolves this by uploading appropriate terminfo files to the user’s directory.
@rutrum @jntesteves I have that controller. It’s the best controller I’ve used — I greatly prefer it to my Series X controller.
The back paddle buttons don’t work for me with SteamInput in XInput mode though. Reading around, I think that’s independent of Linux and a limitation of the firmware on them though.
@unhinge I run a simple 48TiB zpool, and I found it easier to set up than many suggest and trivial to work with. I don’t do anything funky with it though, outside of some playing with snapshots and send/receive when I first built it.
I think I recall reading about some nuance around using LUKS vs ZFS’s own encryption back then. Might be worth having a read around comparing them for your use case.
@ShaunaTheDead @CowsLookLikeMaps The ProtonVPN app is native. It’s basically a frontend to NetworkManager.
@jordanlund @fl42v I *think* this one could be recoverable if they had a terminal still active by using the dynamic loader to call chmod — or by booting from a liveCD and chmodding from there.
That’d likely get you to a ‘working’ state quickly, but it’d take forever to get back to a ‘sane’ state with correct permissions on everything.
@fl42v I have thousands from my early days, but my only recent-ish one was pretty funny.
On an Arch install that hadn’t been updated for a while, in a rush, had an app that needed OpenSSL 3. Instead of updating the whole system, I just updated the openssl package.
*Everything* broke immediately. Turns out a lot of stuff depends on openssl. Who knew?
To fix, booted to the arch installer, chrooted into my env, and reverted to the previous version of the package — then updated properly.
