I'm partitioning an SD card with KDE Partition Manager. I need it to have an allocation unit size of 4096. Is that synonymous with a first sector of 4096? I'm having some troubles translating between Windows/OSX/Linux lingo.
>>107836325that's the first sector position, not size.
>>107836320Next step i want now is to learn more about the terminal and about homelabing. I want to make my personal server and have fun
>>107836368Makes sense. My next question is how does one set an allocation unit size? I don't see an option with what I'm using and searching hasn't been particularly fruitful.
>>107828234It's the same on Windows for what is worth, Explorer is abysmal, atrocious at handling any amount of files surpassing the couple of hundreds, and if it has to generate miniatures you will want to kys, you're better off using a Powershell script, or robocopy for a simple CLI tool. They skip some of the song and dance used by the UI toolkits to render progress and shit.
Light themes are objectively superior to dark themes, why do so many people still choose dark?
>>107836308>spotted the AMD GPU userThis has been an issue for years on Chromium-based applications btw.
>>107836123>floatersI went through a phase of dark theme after I first got my floatersI was deeply depressed, I didn't even want to go outside or do any activities because I hyperfocused on the thingthen I had a bit of a epyphany. you know how you baby your electronics after you first get them, and you may even get sad when you get the first scratch, but after a while you throw them around like it's nothing?I went back to light theme. I was getting paid to stare at my floaters 8h a day anywayexposure therapy, I supposenow I don't give a shit (most of the time. I still have moments when I get very sad that I'll never look at anything without it looking like a dirty bathroom mirror)your mileage may vary, though
>>107835953/thread
>>107836490I don't notice it much really just when I first go outside in the light and when I try to watch hockey because of the white rink. Winter Olympics might piss me off too.
>>107836490>>107836123> floaters I had them all my life how are they a problem? They only show up when I move them.

Will this kill Windows and make Linux the most popular OS?
>>107836418Of course I have, because I was looking into making my own atomic image.
>>107836435Hmm. Which distro do you have? Do you have opencl-amd installed?If I use the normal python gui installer, I get a version of Affinity that does not let me enable OpenCL. But the AppImage one for some reason does let me. It just breaks.
>>107830342SteamOS is not a desktop OS (yet). The ecosystem will probably benefit from having a big company like Steam contributing, but since they'll be focussing on their handheld device it will be limited.
>>107836469I'm on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed I haven't installed additional opencl packages manually.
>>107836466Maybe, but I've been burned too many times by people on 4chan saying "I did the thing" when they didn't do the thing.

>>107835547Yes, the monitor reports this information.Pic related from Linux.
>>107836130I found those too. They were my original test data set. They are fractions of a second long simple noises. Difficult to tell if they actually sound right or not.I grabbed the .mp2 files as well, but the fact that they sound ok (maybe) while the several minutes long Layer 2 file with actual music that I have sounds terrible makes me wonder if maybe my Layer 1 decoder isn't working as well as I thought either, because I haven't listened to actual music with it, just test noises.
does this work in a modular sense>modem -> wifi6 router with wifi disabled (lets say a flint2) -> wifi7 ap (lets say a ubiquiti u7, connected PoE) -> clients will connect using wifi7
>>107835547Also, pic related for querying just the active input from the console.This can be used in a scheduled script to disable the monitor when it switches away from the PC, but ideally you wouldn't need to do this because your OS should react to the change automatically.
>>107836455How would I set it up on Windows then>>107836518I don't know scripting or anything of the sort, sadly
Would you live inside Wine Desktop? Would it be insane to turn Wine into a DE for Linux like Windows 3.1 originally was for DOS? I would use the shit out of this.
>>107836191i don't know about automatic right click menus but you can chuck in a .desktop file pointing to your appimage in ~/.local/share/applications and assign a file type to it in ~/.config/mimeapps.list
>>107836208good, now all I need is a way to get rid of the HFS and Linux will be usable.
>>107832648Based and true
>Calling WINE an emulator in big 26I shiggy
>>107836302HFS isn't an enforceable standard, it's not even a real standard.You don't even know why you hate it.

>>107833620based
vim is absolutely retarded. you'd think a terminal app could open a 20 gig file but nope, it loads the entire thing into memory instead of maintaining a buffer with only the lines you see loaded. most editors crap themselves at this.
>>107834970>It has, default keybind is CTRL + SHIFT + PThanks for this anon, I never knew it was capable of that. The shortcut I had to use was Ctrl+Shift+F though.From what I can tell you can't seem to search within the results, like you can with N++, however. There's an option to show the results in another tab, but Kate doesn't seem to allow you to do any search within that new tab.Not a huge dealbreaker, but in a work scenario being able to search within the results is incredibly useful for parsing error logs.

Zoomer here... isn't it weird how it became accepted to just not able to change the battery on tech you own, and having it become a brick after 1 year of use because you can't swap the internal rechargeable battery? When did this become the norm with consumer tech?
>>107830452The shift happened in the 2010s, driven by the pursuit of thinner, "premium" unibody designs, waterproofing, and planned obsolescence. It traded user repairability for aesthetics and higher repair profits. The EU's new right-to-repair law is a direct rebellion against this norm.
>>107834371This anon would rather have us go back to shitty micro USB and 5v only charging because it's more "standard" (it never was)
>>107830465Pretty sure that Pixel 10 phones already have an easily replaceable battery in advance of the EU directive. It's weird and suspicious for Google to not do something completely abhorrent for once, but it is what it is.
>>107830521you don't know what hot swap means.
>>107830452>isn't it weird how it became accepted to just not able to change the battery on tech you ownI can.
The Sovereign Tech Agency (Germany) funded $562,800 (half a million) worth of development on ALPM (Arch Linux Package Management) work. That work was focused, almost entirely, on creating “Rust libraries and tools” for Arch package management which “aims to maintain compatibility with pacman”. As of this moment, the Rust ALPM has not replaced Pacman entirely. But common sense would indicate that replacement is a goal (otherwise the heavily funded development would be nonsensical).By the way, existing Arch package management tools (such as Pacman) are licensed under the GPL. The new, Rust-based libraries and replacements are licensed under the MIT license.
>>107835347i've been wanting to move to artix, but maybe i will switch to gentoo
>>107836053Now that Arch is dead Gentoo really is the last unpozzed Linux distro.The question is how do we avoid losing that too because there will be nowhere left to run otherwise.
>>107836151>the last unpozzed Linux distrokys https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Source-based_Linux_distributions
>>107836179That list includes NixOS, which is very much pozzed.
>>107835347>existing Arch package management tools (such as Pacman) are licensed under the GPL. The new, Rust-based libraries and replacements are licensed under the MIT license.ugh>>107836269at least nix core is LGPL
Thank you xi
>>107825629>this is common no matter where you get your lipo's from. the technology is shit.I've been using Lipos in drones and rc cars for years getting all sorts of abuse and never had anything more than slight puff.I'd love to know what retarded shit people are doing with their lipos to get them blowing up like balloons and catching fire.
>>107823841>the bagright, like ram isn't used by anyone other than ai fags. no, they are enjoying gouging consumers with an excuse. and just like playing card companies selling 'rare' printed cards on third party websites for bank, these companies are selling gpus through third party sellers that suspiciously never run out of stock for 4x the amount and just blame scalpers (despite having the ability to prevent people from ordering more than their share)
>>107836139To overclock memories automatically
>>107818621NOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO BE MAD AT CHINA FOR THINGS THE JEWS DID TO OUR MANUFACTURING AND ECONOMY!
>>107836162I've been wondering the same thing and especially so now. The market is ripe, someone should decided to become a winner. It might sincerely be that easy despite everyone saying how impossible it is. Even if it's not easy, surely it is worth doing.
>try to install software on linux fresh install first time>this happens and cant install anythingAHAHAHAHAHA linux is a fucking joke. It just doesnt work. Nothing ever works on this joke OS.
>>107836426Patch Discover to mandate updates before flatpaks, or to give an error message that explains the situation better than >>107834802.Or don't call your system ready for the public.

Does /g/ use "wrappers"/replacements for their programs, like Vencord for Discord & Millenium for Steam as an example?I had to force myself to use them because the default software is just dogshit, and I'm forced to use the software because normie friends, so was wondering if theres any more hidden gems like Vencord and Millenium out there that /g/ uses.
>>107822722i use vesktop but only when screensharing because audio doesn't work for me on wayland when screensharing from firefox
>>107830494Steam development team has billions of dollars to not over rely on Google Chrome or create problems every Tuesday for maintenance. But no you rather defend their awful service than demand better services.
>>107822722I use the web version. No reason to install the app as niggers at discord still can't figure out a way to connect chromium APIs that let you do screenshare and global hotkeys, both of which actually works in chrome.Also I can html edit people's messages and blackmail them, I have no idea why normies eat up discord screenshots as absolute truth.

How come C# isn't more popular when it's basically Java but better? Is it because people distrust a language maintained by Microsoft, or does the JVM have non-obvious but crucial advantages over the CLR?
>>107835594But C# runs on Linux these days. Do you think they aren't using it because the consequences of C# being cross-platform haven't propagated yet, or they distrust Microsoft enough that they wouldn't have chosen C# even if it had always been cross-platform?
>>107835911>But C# runs on Linux these dayswith a fully-featured cross-platform UI library?
>>107836370There are a few I think, Avalonia is one, and I think Xamarin had some as well. And you can always use IMGUI or something, it’s relatively easy to call C libraries from C#
>>107835911Companies don't just change their tech stack because another tech stack happens to be as good or slightly better.There's a tremendous cost involved with changing core technologies.
>>107836370>with a fully-featured cross-platform UI library?What can Godot do?
the "decentralized" fediverse is as scam.
>>107835875>>107835512Wait wasn't mastodon some twitter offshoot for lolicon artists? I thought the name referenced mammoth/dorontabi.

>>107835854Woah, I didn't know I could post on 4chan with a Reddit account. Sure looks like you are doing it though, fucking tech illiterate faggot
No, it isn't.
>>107836310Are you thinking of the Mastodon instance pawoo.net? It was originally created by pixiv, the Japanese illustrator platform.
