- Comment on PSA syncthing-fork has changed owners 1 week ago:
The new repo has two releases in it now. These releases are not signed with the original key as far as I can tell. Further, GitHub is silently redirecting to the new repo, even in Obtainium, meaning it’s possible that if you had this previously installed via Obtainium and updated now,** you may have unsigned apks installed that may or may not contain the changes in the repo**.
This is a mess. I deleted the repo from Obtainium (luckily I don’t auto install updates) and will wait to see what happens over the next few months. Might just save my notes in a network share instead of using syncthing from my phone. Idk, notes are all that I was using it for.

If the house flips, though, then the Epstein investigation along with other things can proceed, and the House can block bills before they go to the senate or president. So while it won’t fix anything outright, it can stop more damage.

- Comment on LLMs Will Always Hallucinate 3 weeks ago:
I know about this. But what you’re doing is different. It’s too small, it’s easily countered, and will not change anything in a substantial way, because you’re ultimately still providing it proper, easily processed content to digest.
- Comment on LLMs Will Always Hallucinate 3 weeks ago:
Their data sets are too large for any small amount of people to have a substantial impact. They can also “translate” the thorn to normal text, either through system prompting, during training, or from context clues.
I applaude you trying. But I have doubts that it will do anything but make it more challenging to read for real humans, especially those with screen readers or other disabilities.
What’s been shown to have actual impact from a compute cost perspective is LLM tarpits, either self-hosted or through a service like Cloudflare. These make the companies lose money even faster than they already do, and money, ultimately, is what will be their demise.

Containers are better than any other option, so of course they’re being used!

Hmm, strange that the config file didn’t work - that’s actually how I do it (but with Mullvad and wireguard). No installation necessary if you can figure out why it’s not working.

Totally fair - you gotta find and use what works for you!

Ah, yeah, if your VPN only provides a run script you may need to try it in distrobox and see if it works there. It’s probably trying to put libraries in immutable portions of the install. Good work figuring Linux out, I know it can be a bit daunting at first but you’ll get the hang of it!

Yes, and to be clear, a huge part of the risk is that even after heated, the bacteria will die but leave behind toxins that will make you very sick. This Chubbyemu video (a doctor that makes videos covering odd, scary, or “interesting” medical cases) is about the same bacteria and the resulting death from it. While death seems to be pretty rare, it will still make you very sick.

That’s what immutable means in this case. You can’t modify outside of your user directory, at least not directly, on immutable distros. The files outside of your
~home path are read-only. You can override that a few different ways, however. If your VPN has a flatpak, that’s the easiest way to get it up and running. If you don’t care about more space (minimal, if you only do it for your VPN) being used, you may be able to follow your VPN’s fedora instructions, replacingdnfwithrpm-ostree. That will likely allow you to install as you can in other distros.Feel free to ask any questions if you have any, I’m happy to help.

For real, full AMD on Fedora is incredibly stable and smooth.

You keep saying this, but do not elaborate. Bazzite is not more complicated, it’s actually a lot less complicated and difficult to break by design, as are other immutable distros. This is precisely why it is pushed to new Linux users. It’s a good starting point to have something that just works and not have to worry about much.
It’s okay to suggest other options for sure, but don’t get snarky when people are suggesting what works for them. The main benefit of Linux is that you have a choice in the first place, and you aren’t going to be stuck with whatever distro you’re using if they decide to do something catastrophic.

I’ve never had an issue with any community tools on an immutable distro. Especially distros that have distrobox, but for the most part, the community tools I’ve needed use lutris or flatpak and do not require compilation. Do you have an example of some of the tools you’re talking about? I’m not necessarily doubting you, I just haven’t encountered it before. You can also still install things (at the cost of image space) with rpm-ostree.

Did you set up secure boot during setup of Bazzite, out of curiosity? It has the ability to function with it and should prompt you if I remember correctly.

Cachy won’t necessarily be a magic bullet for Nvidia drivers, especially for older GPUs.
It’s a good option though, I just wanted to set expectations.

People suggest Bazzite because it just works and is difficult to break or otherwise have things to wrong. I’m not sure what you mean by “struggles to keep up”, can you explain?

They think line won’t go up if they don’t shove it down every user’s throat. They’ve put most of their eggs in that basket.
