  • It's beyond my mind that x86(-64) survived to this day. It's so inefficient

    Edit: to clarify: I know nearly nothing about processors, so maybe the architecture isn't really that inefficient. All I know is that after Apple switched to its own ARM-based chips, the programs could run faster using the same or less energy. Even with the compatibility later

  • Clothes. My current phone has a few years already, but because all the new phones are huge bricks I'm not in hurry to get a new phone. Also it took me many phones to finally find one that is compact, smooth, has a clean interface and doesn't require service visits every few months (Xperia Z1)

  • How is the situation with banking apps and DRM stuff on Lineage? Would the following be possible?

    1. Unihertz would give all files necessary for LineageOS to support Jelly Max
    2. The Lineage community would provide the sources with support for Jelly
    3. Unihertz would build and sign an official build of LineageOS
  • All of these distros strive to solve the problem with having multiple versions of libraries and programs coexisting without conflicts, but Gobo took a different approach. What Gobo doesn't do is the declarative system configuration. In Nix you don't need to worry about breaking your system because you can easily restore the previous version of your config. In traditional distros you would need to set up package manager hooks to make snapshots and create snapshots manually every time before changing something in /etc

  • Well, the configuration and state in both cases is all over the place. I admit that since the move to push program directories to /usr and the XDG share/config directories the problem has been largely solved. I only shared my perception when I was learning Linux, which was right after Mandriva came out

  • Self Hosted - Self-hosting your services. @lemmy.ml

    Is VPS still considered self-hosting?

    The services are maybe hosted by myself, but the servers aren't mine. I'm only borrowing a small chunk of resources from some company, so can it still be considered self-hosting?

  • When switching from Windows, it was very confusing to me, that program files where all over the place. It was before (almost) every distro switched to the /usr directory, so it was even worse than it is now. Even now, when I understand more about Linux than before, I still prefer the Windows way.

    I think that this hierarchy is nice for people moving from Windows, but experienced enough that they could understand the docs and tweak the OS.

    I was actually surprised that this distro was designed with more experienced people in mind, I thought it was for beginners.

  • A Logitech gaming headset, I think it was G332. My main headphones broke, and I needed some ASAP, so I went to the local store and bought them as backup ones. The black paint on the padding started peeling off almost immediately and it got everywhere, like sand.

  • De Staat, it's a really creative experimental rock band from The Netherlands. Bubble Gum is my favorite, but also check out the Vinticious Versions album which contains their songs in vintage style. They also have a talent for powerful album outros. The Inevitable End and Luther always give me goosebumps

    Is the snapshot, I rolled back to using Snapper, still taking space?

    A few months ago, I rolled back to a previous btrfs snapshot using Snapper. Now I am constantly running out of space, no matter how many packages I delete and I'm wondering if that is the reason. The snapshot list looks like this:

     undefined
        
    $ sudo snapper -c root list
        # | Type   | Pre # | Date                             | User | Cleanup | Description            | Userdata
    ------+--------+-------+----------------------------------+------+---------+------------------------+---------
       0  | single |       |                                  | root |         | current                |         
    1137+ | single |       | Thu 31 Aug 2023 07:55:47 PM CEST | root |         | writable copy of #1115 |         
    
      

    Does snapshot 1137 contain all the changes made since August? I so, can I somehow delete it?

    EDIT Changed "snapshot 0" to "snapshot 1137"
