Not sure what proxmox has to do with this? All this is doing is allowing VMware workstation to run without out of tree modules, it means nothing for anyone else

Wut? Game is f2p?

I’ve heard that too but CSGO is a source 2 game and while I don’t play it I do play dota which runs amazing native and valve seems to think it’s good enough as the steam deck config has it run native as opposed to another valve game like HL Alyx which valve has configured to run under proton

Did he actually use proton to run a native game… that’s just silly

According to the article they did allow it. They got rid of that clause in a license update, just didn’t allow you to modify your fork lol

…that’s…a good question 🤔

If you can’t change your default shell that’s not really a lesson you should have to learn. You should be able to set your own default shell and this is coming from someone who’s shell preference is bash.

The pedant in me dictates I must say you probably mean UEFI and not BIOS

Maybe it’s just been good luck, or maybe I pay enough attention to what apt is going to do and know how to deal with it but I’ve been daily driving sid for years and am convinced it’s more stable than arch based on friends I have that run arch…maybe it’s just I’m more experienced but it really doesn’t break that much. Obviously ymmv.

How are fedora or SUSE valid alternatives “from the same repos”? They’re not even based on Debian or Debian repos?

Linux remaps 0.0.0.0 to 127.0.0.1 when you attempt to use it as an address…does the same thing for :: remapping it to ::1

The decision not to support GPLv3 makes sense and I understand Linus’ perspective on that. GPLv3 branched out into something beyond traditional copy left by ensuring that users can run the modified code by restricting hardware design. That’s a separate thing. I disagree with the decision to go with a permissive license in most cases including this one. Permissive licensing leads to the problems the BSDs have with companies like Sony taking the code and running with it without giving back and it’s why I prefer strong copy left licenses like GPLv2 or v3.

One other thing, yes it was rough in the past but now due to the massive market penetration Linux has we have a large swath of GPLv2 drivers making it far less of a relevant issue.

Eh? I daily drive only FOSS software with basically no problems, the only exception I make is for firmware and JS, firmware because it’s realistically not a choice and JS because it’s extremely sandboxed and I use librewolf with container tabs to isolate cookies etc cross sites, even drivers are not exempt from this rule. FOSS specifically being programs under a GNU approved free software license or software found in the Debian main repos and therefore complying with the DFSG. It’s, surprisingly easy. In fact when I made the decision to do this it was primarily because I needed so little proprietary software that it just wasn’t even much of a challenge?? I guess my main point in saying this is I don’t get where you’re coming from, I’d love a Linux phone but it’s not realistic there, but on the desktop? It’s extremely realistic??

I didn’t know KDE had layer shell 🤔. I knew it had some wlrootsy stuff but that’s interesting. Looks really nice though

/mnt or /media usually. I use /mnt for permanent filesystems and /media for removable ones but there are no hard rules. My home folder is a separate filesystem from my rootfs, just depends on how you want things setup.

All good. I do, I have 2 geographically separated load balancers that do edge caching for images on my screenshot site. The 2 load balancers are anycasted(I have my own ARIN address space) so clients are routed to the nearest PoP based on AS Path. Maybe one day I’ll add more PoPs but I only setup 2 as otherwise it’ll get kinda expensive for my personal screenshot website for little to no gain. It was mainly a, I want to setup my own CDN, rather than anything practical. I will say, when loading the home page while signed in you can SEE the load time differences in the cached images vs private images which are flagged to bypass the edge cache so it does work.

No I haven’t 🤔. That’s an interesting idea, I don’t have a blog or talk about my projects really. They’re just something for me to do and learn. I guess I just kinda assumed that since I’m using it as a learning experience I’m not really qualified to write about it

I find I ask less questions now because I’m a better programmer and just visit the site less in general. I used to ask a lot. I actually don’t find that many duplicates though, usually when I have a question there isn’t already an answer… usually because when I have a question I’m doing something insane, I find I do that a lot lol.

Consistently? Not that I can think of either but there was that one judge in the Oracle v Google Java case that I believe learned enough programming to call BS on oracle’s claims.

Meanwhile one of my projects is running my own caching CDN for my sites(personal not production)
