Beyond enshittification, why does tech oftentimes suck?
  • This is somewhat outside the box but as tech becomes easier, a lot of people tend to become weaker at certain tech skills. An example of this is directory management. A lot of folks don't organize their file structures nowadays, relying heavily on the search bar to find everything.

  • Arch Linux and Valve Collaboration - Arch-dev-public - lists.archlinux.org
  • I read through the update but I'm not quite sure what this means for Valve or Arch Linux. Can users expect better compatibility with hardware and software for gaming? Will this affect other distros or only Arch?

  • Might not even have to change the acronym
  • As a Proton user? Definitely.

  • In ref to parents bringing their kids to Hazbin Hotel panels
  • It's not only for the children's sake but also for the adults. Adult spaces are adult spaces meant for adults. Adult spaces bring people peace of mind when they know there won't be children around because they won't need to worry about a child's needs or behavior (and children can sometimes behave terribly). Having spaces that are child-free also mean adults can enjoy sharing in sensitive topics that children should not be privy to.

  • Firewalls: what SHOULD I block?
  • This seems to be some of the most worthwhile advice. I do use a pretty reasonable DNS client (NextDNS) and it allows me to configure some useful filters and such, and when I'm browsing the internet I also use uBlock Origin and manually allow any third party content one by one.

    I did configure UFW to block incoming and allow outgoing, and that should be more than enough for me. I think I'm a pretty "standard" user in the sense that I would make a fairly average target for a would-be attacker. It's not like I own a web server with goodies worth exploiting.

    A part of me really wants to learn more because at some point I'll have my own router that I'll want to ensure is configured properly because I'll likely end up making my own server for media stuff.

    Thank you for your reply!

  • Firewalls: what SHOULD I block?

    Hey there folks,

    I'm trying to figure out how to configure my UFW, and I'm just not sure where to start. What can I do to see the intetnet traffic from individual apps so I can know what I might want to block? This is just my personal computer and I'm a total newbie to configuring firewalls so I'm just not sure how to go about it. Most online guides seem to assume one already knows what they want to block but I don't even know how/where to monitor local traffic to figure out what I can/should consider blocking.

  • Jokes aside, that isn't really the case. Most folks think of the European honeybee when they think of bees, when there are actually many other species of bees native to different parts throughout the world that humans don't farm for honey. Native bee populations are REALLY important to the environment, and so are native wasp populations. Wasps play an important role in the environment because they also pollinate native plants. Don't hate on wasps, they're really important!

  • How come LED Light Bulbs only last for about 2-3 Years?
  • I'm no scientist, but I think it has something to do with actually turning the light off and on that's actually stressful to most light bulbs. I mean check out the Centennial Light (wiki link). I know it's an entirely different type of lightbulb, but they have run that light almost continuously since 1901, and it's largely believed that continuous operation has kept it going for so long (though it has dimmed quite significantly).

    I suspect that 20,000 hours operation is likely expected under continuous illumination, not ever turning the light off.

  • Watching Mr. Robot all the way through doesn't make me a cyber security expert?
  • I recently made the switch to Linux for my primary computer and I felt sad I really don't know anything about using the CLI. Thanks to your comment, I found Hacknet on Steam and it's on a wicked awesome discount right now so I bought it and have played for a few hours.

    Now I know how to at least navigate the system through directories, and that's giving me confidence enough to keep on exploring and studying more. Thank you! :)

  • DaVinci Resolve not recognizing iGPU
  • Thanks for letting me know, I think that's the best news I can get so I don't go on a wild goose chase trying out random drivers with no success lol

  • DaVinci Resolve not recognizing iGPU
  • It's just an intel i7, there's no dedicated GPU, no separate graphics card. The program doesn't seem to recognize the CPU for an iGPU.

  • DaVinci Resolve not recognizing iGPU

    Hey there folks! I recently made the switch to Linux and I really want to do some editing using DaVinci Resolve. My computer is running an intel i7 7th Gen with no dedicated GPU. I used this tutorial to get through the initial installation but now the app just crashes warning "Unsupported GPU Processing Mode," advising me to "Please review the GPU drivers and GPU configuration under preferences." This is what I see when I go to that menu. Any idea what I need to do to make DaVinci recognize the integrated GPU?

  • Fedora: GNOME or KDE?

    Hey there, folks! I'm about to do my first Linux install and I'm trying to figure out which DE I wanna use. I'm not concerned about how analogous the DE is to any other OS because I'm willing to learn and develop a new workflow. From a performance and overall compatibility perspective, does either GNOME or KDE outshine over the other for this? This is specifically considering the latest non-beta/stable versions of each. Does the Anaconda installer work in the KDE spin of Fedora, or is the install process different altogether? I know Fedora's default is GNOME, does this make for any less stability with KDE?

    Edit: I appreciate all of your comments, thank you for taking the time to write them! Initially I was really interested in GNOME for its minimalist design, but it seems KDE can be altered for a similar form without needing to rely much on third party pieces because of how much is already built into it. Although I'm certain the GNOME DE is a really nice one, I think I'm gonna give it a go with KDE simply because it has three customizability already out-of-the-box and it seems to be slightly lighter weight. Of course, there's no reason to ever settle and it's likely I'll try GNOME at some point instead. Thank you! :)

    This is why I've decided it's time to sell most of my Olight collection.

    More pictures in comments. This picture is Olight S1R Baton II (left) vs Rovyvon A23 (right). The Rovyvon uses a Nichia 219C emitter in cool white (about 5700K iirc).)

    It's the same complaint you hear time and time again, emitters with awful tint and CRI. When I was still new all I cared about was Olight, so I've amassed a pretty significant collection. It was only when I first tried a Hank light with Nichia 519A emitters that I finally understood why tint and CRI matters.

    Also, now that I've learned the Anduril 2 UI every other light just feels limiting.
