>>107839282are you on a "stable" distro?if so you most likely need a newer kernel than the ancien one those stable distros providefor amd all you need is to install mesa if you dont have it installed. dont know if distros install it even if you use an nvidia gpu
>>107839065Zsh cause it's has better fzf integración according to the documentation
>>107836780>>On an unrelated note, is it common for ungoogled chromium to fail to compile due to new-ish ninja versions?Chromium is garbage code, its build-system is a piece of shit. Even Gentoo gave up and has bundled toolchain enabled now which downloads clang/llvm from Google and then uses that to compile it instead of using the system compiler.
>>107839448Just use Firefox or Fuck Suck Go or something that isn't chromium
>>107839471I already do. I have Ungoogled Chromium installed too but via the Flatpak. That would be my advise to anyone that wants to use it. Don't bother compiling it.
IPS or OLED?
>>107839187That's fine, I liked plasma
>>107839192Then just get a plasma. Basically SED.
>>107821187Whatever that is cheaper as long as it's not a fucking VA panel.
>>107839200In terms of visual performance and quality to price, OLED.
>>107836107Nvidia's "G-Sync Pulsar" monitor at CES was showing off adaptive brightness & color as if it was a high end feature. So maybe it'll become more mainstream? I agree that's bizarre that it's a standard feature on phones, seen on some laptops & yet absent on desktop monitors.And while I'm complaining about the lack of feature parity. How is it my laptop can turn on it's display in half a second & yet my desktop monitor takes multiple seconds with a stupid brand splash screen before it'll display anything at power on. I know it's a small thing but the amount of times I've missed a startup message during this time window is galling.

How the FUCK do I keep qbittorrent from using so much RAM? I have 6 total torrents and only 3 are seeding, but after several days of leaving it unattended memory usage is up to almost 4GB. I tried both libtorrent v1 and v2, both seem to have this issue. I'm running it in a container thoughbeit, can/should I just hard limit the RAM/swap available to the container so I can just stop caring anymore?
>>107838822If the same program shows a fluctuating free space then your OS or some program is creating files (or deleting them). It's normal.>>107839439How are you checking memory usage? Post screenshot.

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?
>>107838921C# appeared in 2000.Mono appeared in 2004.Microsoft bought it in 2016..NET 5, available for all platforms, happened in 2020.So yeah, 4 years of nothing and ENTERPRISE status acquired way later.
>>107838989What do you mean by "ENTERPRISE status" and why does it matter?
Dotnet being proprietary and single platform prevented me from having the motivation to learn it. I only did that after they released and ported core. A language isn't useful to learn or write in if computers can't execute it.I imagine I'm not alone in this. C# has existed for a long time now but I think wider spread adoption was stunted by its closed begining. So they have a lot of catching up to do in that regard compared to other languages like Java.Which is kind of frustrating for me personally because I really like PowerShell and wish I had learned it sooner. Although the utility of it and what I appreciate today is only related to the modern versions so it wouldn't have mattered then, it only matters to me now. But that means for like a decade I put 0 thought into their entire ecosystem of tools, languages, libraries, etc. and contributed nothing to it myself. I imagine some other people have had the same kind of experience.

Luddite cope thread
I'm trying to recover data from a Windows 98 PC, and I would like to back up the hard drive (which appears to be failing). I can still read data intermittently, and it sounds like it keeps doing repetitive seeking before it gives me data read errors and general drive read failures. The computer doesn't even detect the drive half the time, and it won't boot from that drive at all.I would like to try and boot from a Linux recovery distro and see what I can do, namely clone the failing drive before doing anything else, but the optical drive doesn't appear to be plug-and-play (I can't boot off of it because the optical drive only works after drivers are already loaded), and I couldn't get a USB stick to work, so it seems like the only option left is to boot from a 1.44MB floppy disk and get the computer to clone the hard drive itself. I've added another drive, and that one works flawlessly, so it seems only the master drive is bad.It's actually harder to get a straight answer on which linux distros you can boot from a floppy disk than I would've thought. It doesn't even matter if it has to be an old version, people are saying the wrong version number is capable of doing so (like with RIPLinuX, so I don't know which ridiculous version to use), and I'd prefer one centered on data recovery anyway.It's a "Proteva Pro Series" PC, I guess. (Not pictured.) It doesn't sound very distinct, but apparently they thought it was distinct enough to brand it that way.
>>107838276>ddrescueThis is the correct response. You need to use ddrescue to clone this drive as fully as possible to new media. Only then can you start thinking about repairing the filesystem or using something like testdisk to scan for known filetypes. I've used ddrescue multiple times to pull data from storage that was failing. So many other tools assume your storage is healthy & will crash the moment your SATA/USB/etc link drops out. ddrescue just picks up from the log file & keeps copying.
>>107838366You keep grinding at a failing drive you're going to kill it for good.Get the IDE-USB adapter OR find a computer that has IDE + SATA or whatever OR try installing an OS to another drive on that 1999 computer.Meanwhile chill (the drive, as in put it in a ziploc bag in the freezer) until you're ready to do the data rescue, sometimes that works on drives from that era.
>>107839265Everything on and about the computer says 1998, but I'm doing it right now, I just need to add more RAM cause I guess "65"MB isn't enough for Clonezilla. I'm also adding a soundcard and seeing what I can do with salvage parts.Some idiot who was in here before me put the CPU fan connector on the chassis fan output.
>>107838240Take it out and image it externally.
>>107838299>What if I don't have another computer that can interface with IDE drives,There are literally adapters out there for that purpose, anon.

Alright this is wildBefore the sale started, I had some items in my basket, total after shopping credits was £3.80 or soNow the sale has started, the exact same items cost £7.11 total after shopping credits. I knew sales were fake, but I didn't think things actually got more expensive during them. Should have just ordered when the going was good. Bah....
>>107835386>>107835474I just thought it would be funny
>>107833672Returns have been pretty good in my experience. Don't get angry with them and don't half-ass it and you'll be OK. Provide whatever pertinent photographs, videos, and background information you think is necessary. You can say something like "while the lights are all on on the device, in the device manager the value at (whatever indicates the problems) shows that blah blah blah". Essentially just explain it to them and make sure they know you aren't just too retarded to use the product.
I'm trying to wire together 6 LED bars off of one power supply, & want to use a power distribution board rather than twist the cabling together. This is the sort of thing I'm finding but it's more costly than I expected & doesn't come with any case. Does anyone have suggestions for low voltage power distribution?
