I thought 40 was gonna be an easy one... then I briefly brought it up with my gymmates and... ufff... They just automatically vote against anything related to taxes. It didn't seem like they actually read what the prop was. It literally just affected like 200 people out of millions....

Local propaganda branded 40 as an "everyone tax". Straight up lies, but people don't read stuff I guess? IDK.

    Yeah, I always assume everything that has to do with work is being monitored and stored: anonymous surveys, Slack, email, email, web searches, terminal commands, terminal output, etc.

    One pitfall I see people fall into is expecting to find the same level of polish and convenience that Big Tech has in Open Source alternatives.

    Trying to find a Macbook, iPhone, or macOS, but it's Linux is going to be a fool's errand. They're different worlds and you shouldn't expect one to work like the other. Some things have no equivalents and you will have to give them up. Don't give into the loss aversion. These were traps from the very beginning. You're just noticing them now. Focus on the newly gained freedom. You'll have to learn to like freedom more than convenience traps and shiny UIs.

    Having said that, Linux has definitely made huge strides in being more user friendly, but realistically, it's not as seamless as those billion-dollar corporations.

    I think it's Netbird with their reverse proxy feature.

    https://docs.netbird.io/manage/reverse-proxy

    Netbird is like Tailscale, but Open Source. You don't have to self-host, but you can. They have a reverse proxy feature that let's you easily expose a device to the Internet. You can set basic authentication on the service, like requiring a password to access the page or only allowing certain IPs to access the page.

    I use this with my parents. I got tired of the Tailscale app on the Google TV constantly shutting down. With the reverse proxy, there's no more VPN app. My service is publicly accessible, but protected by an IP allow list.

    My Jellyfin config has some YAML like this.

    # Sometimes work  
    devices:  
    - /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128  
    - /dev/dri/card0:/dev/dri/card0  
    

    Occasionally when I reboot my server, I end up with no card0 and instead I have /dev/dri/card1. This breaks my Jellyfin server...

    I noticed there is also dri/by-path, which I'm guessing is a more stable path than a card index... however, doing this doesn't work for me.

    # No work  
    devices:  
    - /dev/dri/by-path/pci-0000:00:02.0-render:/dev/dri/renderD128  
    - /dev/dri/by-path/pci-0000:00:02.0-card:/dev/dri/card0  
    

    I tried with and without quotes and the result is the same. Error to start. I'm guessing Docker is failing to correctly parse the string because of the colons in pci-0000:00:02.0-card...

    How's everyone else handling this problem? I've been updating my compose.yaml every time the index switches, card0 to card1 to card0... but this is getting annoying now. (This is a worse problem now that I'm running Fedora IoT!)

    Any thoughts?

     

    Yes, I'm aware that companies sell HEPA cabin air filters for vehicles. But, is it safe to install a HEPA cabin air filter on a vehicle who's HVAC system wasn't designed for HEPA air filters?

    https://www.engineersedge.com/filtration/hepa_filter_pressure_drop_considerations.htm

    By design, HEPA air filters will create resistance to flow, and a high differential pressure drop will exist across the filter. Most HEPA air filter manufacturers literature suggests replacement of HEPA air filters when the resistance due to dust loading has reached 2 in.wg.

    So if your car's HVAC is designed for high airflow and you slap a HEPA filter on it, are you adding more stress and wear on the system? Seems like it's the exact same problem of installing an overly restrictive filter on your home's HVAC return vent.

    If anyone else got this message:

    We don't do this often, so you know it's important: your Fluxer client is getting old. Like, "soon to be end-of-life" old.

    It's because the Fluxer Flatpak from Flathub is basically abandoned... for now anyway. No one is updating it because all the dev work is focused on canary.

    However, there is a Fluxer Canary Flatpak (though not from Flathub): https://github.com/yofukashino/app.fluxer.FluxerCanary

    flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists fluxer-canary https://yofukashino.github.io/app.fluxer.FluxerCanary/index.flatpakrepo  
    flatpak install --user app.fluxer.FluxerCanary  
    
     

    I spent some time reading the User Guide and some other docs, instead of going to sleep... here are my main takeaways.

    • It's like GitHub, but decentralized.
    • It's P2P, so you run a Radicle node on your laptop (but you have to opt-in to incoming connections)
    • It's very offline/local workflow friendly
    • https://radicle.garden/ is an optional centralized, always-available node that can mirror/seed/host your code. So basically YOU <-> radicle.garden -> world
    • This is what the web interface looks like: https://radicle.network/nodes/kristoff.radicle.garden/rad:z3WukSjzicL8WaZHFALbBwb2r8W52
    • There is a concept of "seeding". When a user "seeds" your repo, they add to your repo's replica count, meaning it'll have higher availability. It's kinda like a GitHub "fork", but the fork becomes a valid location to download your repo from. (Crypto makes it trustworthy.)
    • The point of seeding is to help keep the repo up, whatever the reason may be (outages, censorship, etc).
    • Repos have UUIDs across the network, so you aren't tied to a specific server or company. If radicle.garden enshitifies and you move, your users keep cloning exactly the same.
    • CLI is written in Rust... single static binary, contains everything you need
    • Your git repo carries code, issues, and pull requests, but not in literal files mixed with your code (right?)
    • You can host on Radicle, but your users don't have to use Radicle to clone, they can just do a regular git clone
    • Users do have to get on the Radicle network to post issues and pull requests though.
    • Private/invite-only repos supported
    • Release artifacts supported
    • CI supported via web hooks?
     

    Hello. I'm a PS5 gamer. Normally when I want to game with friends online, I put on my PS5 headset and it automatically connects to the console. I start a voice chat group on the console and my friend and I can chat while we play whatever game.

    How does this translate to the Steam Machine + couch? Can I just use any bluetooth headset? I thought bluetooth audio had too much latency? Or is there a special type of headset I should buy? Can I start a voice chat through SteamOS? Or do I have to use a third-party app like Fluxer to voice chat?

     

    Does anyone have any tips on how to have a good experience with IPTV? So far I've tried 2 (well, maybe it's just 1) IPTV providers and the experience just kinda sucks. Most of the time I can't get channels to load and when I do, it usually takes like 30s-40s to load the channel. I definitely can't reasonably browse channels.

    Once a channel loads, it's usually fine.

    I'm using dispatcharr + Jellyfin.

    My server is plugged in via ethernet, but it does stream over wifi to my TV.

    Are there any settings I could change to speed things up? Or is there some way I could auto-remove channels that don't load? Do I need faster internet speeds? Are the only reliable channels US channels? (I'm trying to watch non-US channels.)
