I made a git repo and started putting all of my dot files in a Stow and then I forgot why I was doing it in the first place.
The comments in this thread have collectively created thousands of person-hours worth of work for us all…
Oh. You don’t. Well, that’s probably okay. I mean, nothing will probably go wrong and render a device in need of being forcibly rebooted when you’re physically away from home.
*furiously adds a new item to the TODO list*
This isn’t uncommon. There’s a few things you can try:

The other thing that is unusual is that you said when you connected a known good device it connected at 1Gbps but in your dmesg output it is only connecting at 100Mbps. Is it being plugged directly into your router/could you power cycle that device to see if maybe it is responsible for the link drop (also the cable could have some insulation damage and is picking up intermittent EMI).

Linux@lemmy.ml•No audio for videos but only for one user and with pipewire
1·3 days agoIf you’re not super up on your systemd commands, use systemctl --user (no sudo):
systemctl --user status pipewire

2·3 days agoI had issues with media keys and ended up using a plugin to handle it: https://github.com/hoyon/mpv-mpris
This may not be the proper solution (since yours were working previously, mine never worked) but if you don’t have any other suggestions it may work for you.

Linux@lemmy.ml•isnt proton making linux dependent on windows binaries?
4·3 days agoThere is but it only applies to games without Linux versions. The default behavior is to install the Linux version and, if it doesn’t exist, install the Windows version and use Proton.
In order to install the Windows version you have to check the ‘Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool’ for that specific game and click the update button to download the Windows version.

3·5 days agoI haven’t tested this, but fairly sure you could just install vortex, mo2 or whatever other modmanager to same prefix as where the game is.
Yeah, you can use protontricks to execute any executable inside the WINE environment. You can take the command used to do that and put it in a .desktop file so you can run the program from a desktop icon or launcher.
Installing mods mostly considered a ‘problem’ by the standard of gaming on Steam where you just press play and let Proton take the wheel. If you were running games through WINE prior to Proton, it is much easier now.

Linux@lemmy.ml•"The Internet Was Weeks Away From Disaster and No One Knew" - Veritasium
42·17 days agoThe conspiracy is that the investment in this specific case requires or invites enshittification.
It’s a non sequitor, it does not follow.
Someone can come up with a story (a conspiracy) where it COULD be true and that story could fit the popular memes about capitalism… but that is not evidence. It’s just a story, fanfiction, words on the Internet unsupported by reality.

324·17 days agoI’ve found his videos pretty on point in the topics that I’m familiar with.
I’d need more evidence of misleading information than ‘A popular content creator receives an investment’. That’s not proof.
It’s not even implied by the evidence presented outside of an implied conspiracy not built on anything other than a press release.
There may be evidence of foul play somewhere, but it was not presented here.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Can I use a Linux laptop to connect a Mac to wifi through an Ethernet cable?
10·19 days agosudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward
sudo sysctl -p
Those do not enable forwarding. One prints the value of forwarding and the other loads the config file.
To set it temporarily
sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1To set it permanantly, edit /etc/sysctl.conf (or add a config file to /etc/sysctl.d/). You only need to add one line that reads ‘net.ipv4.ip_forward=1’

Linux@lemmy.ml•Sunshine and Moonlight - Bring Your Desktop's Power On the Go
2·20 days agoI have both strong opinions on things and suggestions.
The Windows software stack is completely independent of the Linux software stack. This doesn’t tell you anything about the problem. Trying Windows tells you that the hardware has the capability, but you could have learned that from a spec sheet.
If you want to solve the problem on Linux, make a post with the details of the problem and what you’ve tried so far as well as any logging that you can get out of Sunshine which would show you starting Sunshine and starting a stream.
Without any other information:I read the fantastic manual.
It looks like you’re likely running into a documented problem: Mesa has disabled VA-API for legal reasons
Without vaapi support, sunshine falls to software encoding which means the encoding is running on your CPU and that is what is causing the stuttering, so to fix it you would need to install a version of mesa that’s been compiled with the correct flags (h264enc, 265enc).
The instructions for doing this depends on our distro. On Arch, amdonly-gaming-mesa-git is listed as an optional package for the AUR version of sunshine, amdonly-gaming-mesa-git is compiled with video-codes=all which will enabled the h264, h265 support.

6·20 days agoIt works fine on my 7800XT.
They’re just confusing ‘This isn’t working for me’ with ‘This isn’t working for Linux’


I stopped the tailscale service…
… while ssh’d through the tailscale interface.
Luckily, it was my home server and I had to drive there anyway.
