I used EndeavourOS for about a year and a half with no issues at all. Currently testing Nobara as I wanted to try something different. Again, no issues at all.
I feel like this is provider agnostic. If you signup to a bunch of different newsletters (or anything else really), at some point your email will get out there.
Proton has email aliasing via SimpleLogin which I have found to be really good.
Not said to me but someone I know, “you’re a lanky string of piss”.
I spent some time in a live ISO and had no issues. Haven’t tried a snapshot yet though.
I booted into a live usb and haven’t had issues so it seems like a driver issue (thankfully).
I’m using a GTX 1660 TI.
Nothing has changed hardware wise for months. Last software update (before today) was 4-7 days ago.
I’m 80% sure I do. I hadn’t updated for a few days (before today) and it had been working up until earlier today.
I booted into an EndeavourOS live USB (just to keep it all the same) and there hasn’t been any freezing. So it seems like a driver issue then.

EndeavourOS keeps freezing
This started today and hasn’t happened before. Initially I thought it was an application from work that was causing issues. I SSHed into the machine and didn’t see anything strange - I used btop
.
I updated the system and rebooted. A few minutes later when I got to the machine to check everything, was frozen again. I hadn’t even logged in.
I’ve used the eos-sendlog
feature to get the logs and it seems like it might be GPU related.
I was using KDE with X11 when this happened, but I’ve been using that combination for months at this point. Nothing that I’m aware of has changed or been updated recently to possibly cause this issue.
Update: I’ve done a complete shutdown (turned the PSU off) and rebooted with the LTS kernel. So far so good. It doesn’t seem to be a hardware issue as it worked fine on the live USB.
Within the container. I’ll look at the forum post, I don’t recall seeing that particular one.
I’m using the linuxserver.io image
I had that previously but will try again later today and report back.

Hardware acceleration not working on Docker
I have been trying for a long time to get hardware acceleration to work on Jellyfin via Docker and have gotten as far as getting nvidia-smi
to successfully run -- which it wasn't previously.

I’ve been looking for something for Wayland, I’ll give this a go, thank you.

Why does my beard grow back faster after shaving?
I’ve often been told that this isn’t actually true but I can’t help but feel that it does happen. Until recently I hadn’t shaved for about a year, maybe two. Now I feel like it’s growing back quicker than what it did the last time (after shaving on a more regular basis).
I’ve not seen a stadium with this much parking in Europe. I almost always see people just taking the train/bus.
I remember seeing an article a little while back about this guy who had a similar issue. He ended up using a Raspberry Pi to avoid the ads.
Imperfect Linux-powered DIY smart TV is the embodiment of ad fatigue
A combination of Zen-browser, Firefox and Librewolf.
Curiosity got the better of me a while back. It’s horrifying and incredibly interesting at the same time.
Thank you for the very detailed response! I’ll give that book a read, it sounds interesting.

Are there any negatives side effects to using PGP all the time with email?
More specifically, if I was to attach my public key to every email — even when the recipient doesn’t use PGP.
My assumption is that “life would carry on” and there would be basically no difference but I’m not entirely sure.
the process of using PGP for encrypting content (text messages for example) is something I’m only just started understanding after some reading and practicing
EDIT
Since a couple of people have mentioned it, my email provider provides E2EE between users but it I want to have E2EE with non-users and via my aliases (SimpleLogin) with custom domains I’ll need PGP
Something like this?

Is aftershave worth it?
It’s been a few years since I last shaved my beard. If I don’t get irritated skin after shaving should I still use an aftershave? If so, what do you recommend?
EndeavourOS É A MAIOR DE TODOS.
Not sure why everything was capitalised and in Portuguese when I’m using English at the moment.
Torrenting through Tor sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Are there any differences between hosting a .onion site and a “normal” site?
Assuming I’ve got a website hosted on GitHub via Cloudflare with a custom domain. How different would it be to host the same site with a .onion address?
EDIT: I’ve had a few drinks so hopefully this isn’t too bad or at least makes sense.

How are private front-ends built without APIs?
I'm referring to projects like redlib or invidious.
I was thinking about doing something similar for a local second-hand marketplace and got curious. Redlib seems to use token spoofing to get past rate limits and Invidious doesn't even use the official YouTube API.
The only way I thought of, which would be slow, is to scrape the site (like you would with Beautiful Soup).

What makes it “Legitimate Interest“?


How would a company decide that something should be “legitimate interest” vs “consent”?
EDIT: Definition of "Legitimate Interest", when hovering over the question mark.
How does legitimate interest work?
Some vendors are not asking for your consent, but are using your personal data on the basis of their legitimate interest.

How can I fix this rotation issue?


I’m using EndeavourOS with KDE.
The display is correctly oriented when logged in but it doesn’t rotate correctly when I’m logged out.
EDIT: corrected the post. This happens when logged out, locking the screen has it displayed correctly.

Parents with bilingual children, how did you do it?
Although I mention parents specifically in the title, this isn’t just for parents to respond.
My wife and I are trying to raise our child to be bilingual (English and Portuguese). Currently we’re both speaking a bit of both to our child and when they eventually go to school we’ll speak more Portuguese as they’ll be exposed to English everywhere else.
Is this a good approach or is there something we can do better?

Are business cards still a thing?
Do people still hand out physical business cards at events or is it all digital now?
i should have asked before ordering 50, lol
EDIT:
Thank you for all the replies, I’ve got the answer I need but I’ll add some more information just in case anyone wants to know.
- I’m based in Europe and not Japan
- I’m working as a videographer and trying to build a film company
- I plan on doing more event coverage so I’ll bring them with to quickly hand out my contact details.
- The card has the following: Busines name, my name, phone number, email, and website.
- I had thought about adding my social media but couldn’t find a nice way to do it that matched the rest of the card.
EDIT 2: just now realised I didn’t complete the last sentence of the last bullet point

Gnome extension on KDE?
I know the title sounds a little strange but hear me out. The time tracking software I use for work doesn’t work on Wayland, unless I’m using Gnome as my DE. They have an extension that allows it to work in this case. Personally, I don’t enjoy Gnome on my desktop (I use it on my laptop). Is there a way for me to get the functionality that this extension provides on KDE so that I can use Wayland on my desktop as well?

Linux install script:
EDIT: I have included more files in the codeberg repo. I hope this helps.

anti-snap stance is anti-consumer
cross-posted from: https://lemdro.id/post/9650372
The title is a quote from Mastodon. I’ve always seen dislike towards snap so I was taken back when I saw this stance. The person who wrote this was referring to Tuxedo Laptops.
What are your thoughts on this?

EDIT 2:
Some clarification for those accusing me of not following the thread or being disingenuous.
Didn't bother to follow the thread?
I posted my question here before this particular response from the OP. I asked the question on Lemmy out of interest and wanting to get a wider perspective. I also engaged with the OP on the thread so that I can get their perspective on their stance.

Gaming vs Regular Distros
TL;DR: Is there really a performance benefit to a gaming distro over a regular distro? Or is it more of a “this is the least work” to get setup?
——
I run EndeavourOS on my desktop and haven’t had any issues with performance. I just like playing with new things and learning from the experience.
I’ve seen loads of people recommending Bazzite as a gaming distro for various reasons. It’s gotten to the point that I installed it on a second SSD to do my own testing but I’d still like to see others perspective.
From my research, there doesn’t seem to be that much performance to be gained (generally speaking). I’ll be testing this on my own hardware but is this generally true?
I think a big draw (especially for new users) would be that these distros would require very minimal work to get up and running into a game.
I think the TL;DR at the top best describes my question. I’ve just been thinking about this and haven’t been sure how to express it in a clear manner for ot

Is it difficult to build a web app for Lemmy?
Context, I’ve got some web dev experience but it’s all self taught from enjoying it as a hobby. Personally, the design aspect is probably worse for me.
I’ve been toying with the idea of trying to do something with the Lemmy API (even if it’s never shared publicly) but I’ve seen a handful of people complain about the API, is it really that bad?
I’d probably use React if I did do something.
EDIT: This is a prototype design I came up with, I'll play around with the API and see what I can do. I think that it could be a fun project, thanks for all the help!

Why don't more websites/services offer 2FA?
I've been going through updating all of my accounts (passwords, 2FA, etc.), and I've noticed that there are a lot of sites that don't offer any form of MFA.
I can understand smaller services that might not have the bandwidth, but surely larger organisations are able to get this setup?

Meta AI Intergration - Right to Object
Has anyone outside the EU/UK recieved a response from the right to object form? I've heard that people outside of the EU/UK aren't getting responses with their wishes being honoured.

How do you backup 2FA setup codes/QR codes?
After everything that has happened with Raivo over the last few days it’s reminded me that I need to go through my accounts with 2FA enabled.
However, how do others keep things organised? My main 2FA app is Proton Pass but I’ll be adding Ente Auth as a backup alongside my Yubikey. In the past I saved a copy of the QR codes when setting up 2FA but I’d occasionally forget to save new ones.
Does anyone have a good system for saving either the QR code or setup code (not actually sure what it’s called) for future use?
EDIT: the code I’m referring to is the initial secret code used to setup the 2FA
Final Edit: I’ve settled on saving the QR codes into a folder that is setup as a git repo.

How would you tag this?


I’m referring to the advertising/digital display. I thought of using man_made=advertising
+ advertising=*
but not of the examples on the wiki seemed to match very well.
EDIT:
I feel like an idiot for missing this but I found advertising=screen

EDIT 2: Fixed the examples link
