Well seems like you tested it pretty good. You now know It's vulnerable.
how do you feed it?
spider? and what's with the hyperspecific teams one?
shot in the dark but do you eat before going to bed? If yes, stop doing so.

YES, I'm 18 but I had a friend who only got a pc when he was in 5th grade iirc. And he had a hard time adjusting after he got it, while always having trouble fitting in conversations. To his credit it's pretty hard to talk about a videogames when you barely touched any. Until around 6th grade ish my internet was limited also and whenever I was at someone else's place I was on my phone not doing anything else. I could finally use it.
My generation grew up on shock videos and creepypastas but we're still here, everything's fine. The only real danger of unsupervised internet imo is porn, getting addicted to that is no joke.
never heard of an uneditable picture. I don't get the joke
Hungary mentioned!? No way. We're on the map! Hell ye!
The brighter the better?
Well, disclamer it's all hazy, but iirc the fact that he killed the conversation.
So at the back of the class we were talking, like 3-4 of us at least, and one guy would constantly rock up and add nothing to the conversation. There were times where he asked me aside (like to talk in private) but had no topic (just looked at me all gay-like, what?), so I just told him to piss off and went back to the group. After a while we didn't even want to hear him out, the moment he speaks our train-of-tought dies. Later it became akin to bullying.
There were more to this than that but there always is. If I have to give advice a "what are y'all talking about" so you can join in, instead of a "wow nice shirt" or some conversation starter when we are already talking about something and that something is completely irrelevant of shirts.
But ye, imagine the scenario where you are talking about how nice it was that no annoying guy were at the party yesterday, and said annoying guy joined in going "nice weather, so what were you doing yesterday?". An extreme example, but it's a bad idea to go to a group with an ice breaker when there is no ice to break. My two cents is that asking about the topic is nice caz if they don't want you to know or to talk to you they'll just go "not much" or something similar and you can instantly read that you are unwanted and leave instead of adding more fuel to the fire.
We did this in elementary, like 1st or 2nd grade. I was the bully, not really proud of it, but ama.
But genderbent, I'm male.
I'm like this with videogames, I need a 3rd party website to keep track of what I'd like to play, but end up playing what my friends are
sorry to comment off-topic. But why would you use total commander? I know of maybe two people who use it and I don't understand why. The UI is very outdated, the function keys are hard to press, and it forces two windows. I'm genuinely asking what are it's upsides that anyone would choose to use it?
I know one person who posts anime in one community, never seen any other related posts, communities or instances.
I just block everyone who tries to
I (18yo) don't! I have no idea what ppl here are talking about and I sure didn't figure out.
cyberpunk 2077 if it were good
No, that's a bad idea. What if we forget?
update: I don't think I can make minigames into watchfaces, like a roulette for example. So it can do 99% but still not ideal.
dnd was realistic all this time?

How to make watch faces
I have a samsung smartwatch, and I'd like to make watchfaces for it. The problem is that I tried once and I couldn't find any documentation, not version or basically anything. Somehow, I forgot how, but I managed to print text on a background picture. It was very frankenstein-like.
I'd like to start over with proper everything, so I came here asking on the offchance that any of you can help me with at least documentations. I remember it being in java, however if I can use other languages I would. My mate got the idea to somehow render a webview, because that atleast it's codeable, problem is I have no Idea how to render anything.
Can someone give me links to usable up-to-date docs? Or pre-written webview? I wasn't able to find anything.

How much storage do I need and what codec should I use for large video files?
I'm planning a huge playthru of a game, and I'd like to be able to look back at it years down the line. However I'm expecting it to be 100s of hours (maybe around/over 1k, but I hope not longer than 2k) and years to finish (I'm not planning on playing 8+h a day).
What are he most optimal settings for OBS to save as much video as possible, while it's still watchable?
I could record in 1440p 165fps. I know that's dumb, but idk how low I'm willing to go. 1440p sounds awesome, but lower than 1080p would lose too much information. Same with lower than 60fps. I don't have a clue as to what bitrate would do well, and what encoding is best. For bitrate I have a clue that it needs to be as high as possible. As it can be a bullethell and there are way to many particles/effects on screen, while everything that matters is small. (I'm not trying to be secretive here, game's modded Terraria)
I'd also state that I'd like to error on the storage side, I don't mind buying another HDD, they really ar

Alternative email?
Sorry if I'm the millionth to ask this, but what are some good trustworthy email providers? Even if paid. But if I'm paying it'd best if it's privacy focused. Thanks!

Encrypt whole system?
My laptop isn't under my supervision most of the time. And I'd hate it if someone were to steal my SSD, or whole laptop even, when I'm not around. Is there a way to encrypt everything, but still keep the device in sleep, and unclock it without much delay. It's a very slow laptop. So decryption on login isn't viable, takes too long. While booting up also takes forever, so it needs to be in a "safe" state when simply logged out. Maybe a way that's decrypt-on-demand?
I'm on Arch with KDE.

Java uses double ram.
Let's be honest: I only use Java for Minecraft. So I only debugged with it. But all version, server or client, all launchers. All of them use double (or more) RAM. In the game the correctly allocated amount is used, but on my system double or more is allocated. Thus my other apps don't get enough memory, causing crashes, while the game is suffering as well.
I'm not wise enough to know what logs or versions or whatever I should post here as a cry for help, but I'll update this with anything that'll help, just tell me. I have no idea how to approach the problem. One idea I have is to run a non-Minecraft java application, but who has( or knows about) one of those?
@[email protected]'s request:
launch arguments [-Xms512m, -Xmx1096m, -Duser.language=en] (it's this little, so that the difference shows clearly. I have a modpack that I give 8gb to and uses way more as well. iirc around 12)
game version 1.18.2
total system memory 32gb

Looking for fictional books
I've recently gotten into reading. I realised how much I love fiction, and a couple of tropes. So I'm here asking maybe some of you know any books that have them.
I love it when the story focuses more on world building rather than character. The theory crafting I can do in my head, or just before I sleep, is priceless.
Here I'll contradict myself by saying a character development related point, but the more important one. I'd like to read more works that show some mysterious big-bad first as a rivalry, later as a friend. They soften up with the MC and we they become friends or allies or whatever. We get to see a BBEG of sorts's friendly and weak side. I get that it's a bit childish, but I lost my mind of how cool of a character they made the first time I read it. Now, it was in a manga, so I'd love to read an example that made this best or first.
Thank you in advance, even if you just name some genres or authors.

How does OLED burn-in truly happen and why doesn't my phone show any signs of it?
Title almost says it all. OLED monitors are getting more and more affordable, but it's almost out of the picture when buying a monitor because of toolbars and HUD elements. I don't understand why monitors "burn-in", when I shine my LED flashlight or some LED xmas lights they won't simply start emitting the same light even when I turn them off. I know it's a dumb comparison, but still, what happens?
The other thing that I don't understand is the fact that I've never seen any signs of burn-in on anyone's phone. Alright, technically that's a lie, I did see some on a work phone (or two), that only had some chat app open, seemingly since ages, and the namebar was a bit burned-in, or something like that, as you'd guess I also didn't interact with that phone a lot. As as said above "but still," I've had my phone for a while now, so does my family and friends, some of us even doomscroll, and I've never seen any signs of burn-in on any (actually used) phone.
so, I can watch my background all

KDE keeps bugging out.
I haven't yet learned how to replicate the bug, it keeps happening at seemingly random intervals. Right now it happened after walking away from my pc for a while, and when I got back it happened.
I find my taskbar (Set to be on the bottom) at the top, when I open the edit tool it says that it's still at the bottom. The add widget button just doesn't do anything. The notifications are at the middle of the screen (however they are set to be bottom right).
This all started happening after I updated to plasma6. I searched online and found that typing killall plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell
into alt+space fixes it for a while. But it's not a permanent fix.
Also pre-update I didn't had any problem with my screen going blank while watching Youtube, but now my screen goes to sleep when I watch fullscreen Youtube.
I'm sorry that I got no more information, if I should supply some logs or screenshots, please tell me and I will.

Trouble running Baldur's gate 3 on Arch.
The game starts but I have extreme performance issues. I'm not talking about low fps or input delay, I have a decent gaming pc, and it's relatively new. I'm talking about stutters, heavy ones. I manged to snap two screenshots of this happening on 60fps cap and uncapped:


Almost all video settings are unrelated. If I lower them the freezes also lower in number, but I don't think it's a hardware limit.. if this can't run it on high-med (as I had it) nothing can. I ran some benchmarks and stress test, both on Windows and Linux, both Vulkan and Dx11, It didn't stutter.
Some other things to mention is how I run it. From Steam, normally. I have no forced proton selected, I did no other configs. However I might have something fucked as:

Is there other options outside of Linear and Tactile?
My friend says that there is, but I told him to show me the it's chart, and he said that it's not about that (?).
So here I go asking: Is there any other type of chart (g/mm) outside of the two?

Clipboard randomly clearing
I just started noticing it like half an hour ago. I'm fairly new to this OS, so I have no idea where to look for any logs or anything.
I took a screenshot with Spectacle, and instead of it putting it into the clipboard it cleared it. Then when chatting on Discord (thru Vencord) and pressing ctrl-A & ctrl+X to write another message first, ctrl+V didn't paste as my clipboard was empty. the screenshot happened multiple times, text only once. I can't replicate it. I'm on Arch KDE, checked the clipboard setting, I don't have a hotkey that I may be fat-fingering. I tried rebooting.
I tried abusing the clipboard while writing this, and just to mock me everything worked. So this might be a spam post without me even knowing, in that case I'm sorry; But please tell me how I can look at the logs, maybe I can catch it red handed still.
edit: no problem since, I haven't done anything. Sorry for wasting your time.

Follow-up for surround sound config.
well it's less about surround and more about sinks in general. I have 3 hardware sinks. My headphones, my monitor and my mic for some reason has a headphone jack. When I pick the virtual surround sink as default it works perfectly. However the device I'm hearing the sounds from is uncontrollable. It likes to choose my microphone, so I get no sound. The way I figured out I can temporarily change this is by setting the default to my headset, and back to surround.
Now I wouldn't want to do this every time I start listening to anything. How can I make it so that the virtual sink's output is at a specified device. Or alternatively I looked into, maybe I can just disable these unused sinks, turns out I can only turn off alsa ports, which won't do as it'd disable my microphone's source part as well.
Arch, kde, pipewire-pulse and wireplumber is installed but I didn't find a use for it so far
and I haven't even touched Eqs and bitrates. I fear I'm gonna post a lot. You guys are the only reli

How do I get virtual sorround sound working?
You have heard the story "I have moved to Linux (arch btw).", well.. this is also my story. Anyways I have problems with my headset's virtual surround. I realized that almost all of the drivers are just simply not working on Linux, but also that there are a bunch of alternatives. I have a HyperX cloud 2 (it was cheap), it's 5.1 by default and 7.1 if toggled. Since I switched to Linux it has been stereo only. And I also feel like the sound quality is worse.
I heard somewhere that any headset can be virtual surround if configured correctly. And they sell "gaming junk" because people don't know of this. I'm writing this so that hopefully some of you can teach me how to make any headset surround. I feel like I also must learn how to do this if I'm planning on gaming on Linux.
PS: I tough about buying an actual good headphone, but if it's not capable of surround than that's kind of a deal-breaker. I don't play that much, but I remember playing shooters on stereo and they were unplayable,

Real quick question about the "break"
I'm studying programming, and I don't agree woth my teacher. She basically said that if we use break (and continue too maybe) our test is an instant fail. She's reasoning is that it makes the code harder to read, and breaks the flow of it or something. (I didn't get her yapping tbh)
I can't understand why break would do anything of the sorts. I asked around and noone agreed with the teacher. So I came here. Is there a benefit to not using breaks or continues? And if you think she's wrong, please explain why, briefly even. We do enough down talking on almost all teachers she doesn't need more online.

Package up and transport a linux?
I have a simple wish, with a probably not so simple solution.
I recently started with linux (Arch kde), I'm loving it, I quickly realized that this OS and almost all apps, are highly customizable, I'm laving that as well. My problem is the unavoidable reinstalls and that I have a laptop.
Is there any way that I can save all my configs, apps and my apps' configs, and transfer them over to my laptop, while almost having a very quick back-up. I realize that I could turn it into an ISO somehow, but that wouldn't work (I think) because my laptop has vastly different hardware. I also realize the partitioning problem. So in my idealistic world, there should be a solution that requires a clean install (from scripts or manual) and some .sh file, that installs all my apps, pastes all my configs and reboots.
So is this possible? and if yes, how should I go about this? did someone make a tool for this already? Or(!) can I burn it to a flash and the drivers will correct themselves/I'll deal with

Where can I find a desktop Lemmy app?
Hello all, I've only used lemmy on mobile so far there has been a million and one posts about apps for lemmy for mobile. My plan was to lurk and read something about pc lemmy, and set it up, but I haven't found any. What can I use on desktop to browse lemmy?
I know that I can just type my instance and have lemmy, but I wont be able to post in private, defederated, etc. communities. Even so if my instance is down, I'd be just locked out.
So basically my wish is to port whatever I have on mobile to pc. A multi-instance & multi-account lemmy client, bonus points if it has a bunch of features, like blocking, or if it's pretty, but that goes without saying. Even a link to a same, but older, question will help, Thanks in advance.

How do I find a party?
I'd like to play dnd way more than I do now, as my current party is bearly availabe (I'm talking like 2 sessions a year).
I know the obv that I should just look for ppl, let me tell you, it's well known between my friends that I play (at least would like to) dnd, none of them are interested.
Anyways, is there a site or some event where dnd players go and meet or post a "looking for players at xyz city" flyers. Maybe online parties, not the best ik, but I take what I can get..
Thanks for any help, or tips on how to spot a dnd player in the wild!

What do you recommend a video editing PC to have?
Hello, me again. I'd like help in workstations. I see all of you jump to pcpartpicker whenever someone wants techsupport, but I'm just looking for general ideas or spitballing. Like whether Amd or Nvidia or Intel.
The usecase will be to try out videoediting and maybe 2d animating. There will also be unavoidable gaming on this device. I'd describe it as a hybrid gaming and workstation.
My logic instantly went to RAM and VRAM. as that should be the focus, but I don't know whether the speed or the quantity is more important. I also don't know if Amd or Nvidia is better at videoencoding.
I'd like tips like this please. NVMe for speed, hdd for capacity, or sata ssd for a mix? recommended MT/s for ram with channels? What gpu cores does premiere use? do I even need to worry about 2d animating? does the x3d modells of amd cpus any good for this usecase? do core # metter or only the GHz?
closing point; I know how to pc, but idk how to workstation pc as I only messed with highend/mid gaming

I need help buying a mic
I'll be brief. I've been looking for a mic for a long time now. My current one started dying and is really bad.
All I'd like is some shock absorption, for keyboard and stuff to not be earrape.
Some sort of mic arm, I wouldn't like to take space up infront of my keyboard, and to put it behind it would probably be a bad idea.
On another note is: please don't say HyperX, I don't really like that brand.
mt budget is: as cheap as possible, but still not shit quality, AKA whatever you'd buy
