Two of my friends switched recently.
They had none to very little experience with anything Linux before, their previous win11 installs just over bloated and the copilot bullshit pushed them over. Both (indie/non-pop shooters) gamers btw.This is the year of linux.

taaz@biglemmowski.winto Linux@programming.dev•What is your most useful Linux app which others might not know about (please don't just give the name but a link and why it is good for you) ?4·26 days agoUnsure how well known it is, but flameshot (screenshot tool).
I prefer CLI usually, so: zoxide, the zsh git plugin for aliases (e.g.: gst is git status), fzf zsh plugin and the tldr command comes in handy sometimes.
Also, this might be useful just for me, but due to orientation of my living space, I have to fiddle with monitor brightness at least three times a day so I made myself a little Qt tray wrapper around ddcutil’s ddcquery which can change standard vesa monitors brightness/contrast (DDC/CI communication).
There is also ddcui/gddccontrol GUI that does the same thing.

Friend just hopped to Bazzite from Windows.
I was hoping the atomocity would be a great boon - you kind of can’t break it right.Well, he wanted to configure RGB lighting on his mouse but the flatpak openrgb did not work, supposedly the udev rules included in bazzite by default, are not up to date or there was some other problem.
As such we had to install openrgb the usual system-wide way, with rpm-ostree in terminal - something I was hoping he would never had to do.
Unless the vendor is rolling something super custom, for the communication TO the keyboard, it should use USB HID.
Start Wireshark, filter for hid, connect the KB and the first message should be a HID descriptor of the KB, look for Output Reports (it’s meant from the POV of the usb master) or Feature Reports.
Though, this will probably not yield much insight - vendors love to do the easy thing, reserve opaque 32x8 bytes as a “downlink” Output communication in the Vendor Usage Page and stuff their own protocol/encoding in there.On linux I can recommend hid-tools for working with this, in windows I believe your only solution is Wireshark.

Happy Hacking!

Could be a different species doing it though, not a pidgeon nerd lol

Also recommend checking out this demo of NotCurses https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYhZ7myXyyg it’s great
taaz@biglemmowski.wintoLemmy Support@lemmy.ml•Deleting images doesn't actually delete the imageEnglish6·2 months agoIt could still be cached by your instance infra, in your case I see cloudflare headers and cache HIT so it might take a bit before the image goes away, depending on the settings of your instance.
E: it’s also possible your instance does not have cache revalidation configured correctly and as such the image could be cached almost indefinitely (the headers currently say it can be cached for a maximum of a year). @[email protected]

This is what flared usually looks like
taaz@biglemmowski.winto Programming@programming.dev•Courses for SIMPLE, website-orientated, javascript developmentEnglish31·2 months agoNot a frontend dev but whenever I need to make something web, I just use Bootstrap. I believe that was the way to do web UIs after jQuery and before all the big frameworks.
So, maybe look into bootstrap guides? It’s basically html+css+js with premade goodies (at least it was last time I had to do web stuff).
taaz@biglemmowski.winto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Missing votes on self hosted Lemmy instanceEnglish5·2 months agoMy instance is close to two years old now, and on average has had about 2 MAU, with no (local) communities.
Currently we have about 700 active federated communities (that had any federated activity within last month), out of 900.[1]
The on-disk size of both lemmy and pict-rs database[2]
postgres@postgres:~$ pwd /var/lib/postgresql postgres@postgres:~$ du -sh data/ 31G data/
I use pict-rs with S3 provider and the bucket size is currently at 22.82 GB (read: external network storage, this is probably mostly just thumbnails[3]).
So in total there is almost 54GBs spent just for lemmy.
So assuming you have 100G remaining after system stuff and dedicate that box only to lemmy (and pict-rs media files) and use it mostly for yourself [4], you should be alright for about 3-4 years (assuming that I am gaining about 27GBs total per year and that you will federate with a similar amount of a similarly active communities).
If you offload media storage to a hosted S3 bucket[5] then you should be good for a lot longer as you will only need space for the postgres databases.
The rest is either dead (instance gone) or no one is subscribed to them anymore (as such my instance is not getting any new content from there: neither posts nor comments or votes) ↩︎
Postgres itself reports about 2G less, don’t really know why but I am guessing it has something to do with the filesystem being btrfs ↩︎
Edit: I currently do not use the “privacy” mode of pict-rs where it proxies all content (so that a bad guy can’t post an image link to his server and unmask users IPs), this would increase the S3 size and slightly postgres size. ↩︎
You should use Lemmy Subscriber Bot to automatically federate little bit of random communities so that public All feed is not exact copy (minus NSFW comms) of whatever you as the only user subscribe to. ↩︎
Though keep in mind that S3 buckets eventually cost some money too, for example Cloudflare R2 charges $0.015 per 1GB, above the first 10GBs. ↩︎
taaz@biglemmowski.winto homeassistant@lemmy.world•Recommendations for Zigbee BulbsEnglish5·2 months agoConsidering this thread, guess I should look into why zigbee with mqtt is better then just the default zigbee HA gives.
taaz@biglemmowski.winto Linux@lemmy.ml•[Solved]I might have mis-configured something now my PKGBUILD use this vim like editor? I don't even have vim installed, it only print out plain text in the terminal before, how can I revert it back?English1·3 months agoHow did you open this? Maybe something overrode your default text editor application (look in settings for Default Applications).
Also maybe check your EDITOR env variable (echo $EDITOR), though that is only used when a different CLI program wants to open an editor for you (in CLI)
taaz@biglemmowski.winto Android@lemdro.id•Google rolling out auto-restart security feature to AndroidEnglish6·3 months agoSadly, it seems todays law allows them to force you to unlock it, otherwise they straight up treat you as a terrorist.

Hunt Showdown, it’s literally a slow shooter - old, single shot weapons and similar.
Have a few thousand hours between me and my friends, its decent but someone high up in Crytek seems to be pushing for “popularization” - it’s not as fun and slow-ish as it used to be.
There is a different game coming up with possibly slow game play too, HUNGER, not much known yet though.
