Mmm, coffee. ☕
protonfixes added for EGS and standalone versions of guild wars 2 (thanks tvgold42)
Where can we find the details of this?
Edit: I struggle to navigate and understand GitHub as a non-coder, but I think I found the relevant changes. UMU-Protonfixes was bumped in commit 56f162a which includes changes to Guild Wars 2 (referred to as app ID 1284210). The update can be seen on the UMU-Protonfixes page where it “fixes the startup process.”
Does the rolling release model mean Nobara is based on Fedora Rawhide now?
Edit: I found the answer from the developer on Reddit.
the VERSION updates are rolling. (N41->N42->N43+)
nothing is changing in the update process. we still do a monthly snapshot of fedora and provide that to users. we are -not- using rawhide.
the “rolling” simply means when its time to go 42->43 you’ll receive those updates as standard package updates without needing to do any specific commands/changes.
Does anyone have experience using Friendica primarily as an RSS reader? Could it function as an alternative to web-based RSS readers like Feedly?
I wasn’t sure if Lemmuy-UI in the results list was a typo or an alternative interface. Now I know. 😄
No! I recently started going back to the office, so the Google One VPN was an easy way for me to bypass the restrictions on my company’s Wi-Fi network.
The title mentions Ubuntu and Fedora, but I ran cat /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count on my openSUSE Tumbleweed system and it also uses 1048576.
I no longer use Linux Mint, but I really enjoyed the decade I spent on it. The kernel change seems like a good move considering Mint is targeted towards desktop users.
I use OpenWRT on my Linksys WRT3200ACM because I used to have a cable connection that suffered from bufferbloat. The SQM feature made a huge improvement. I eventually switched to a fiber connection from a different ISP which does not suffer from bufferbloat, but I kept OpenWRT on my router.
APM is Advanced Power Management. I’m having trouble finding an official explanation for it, but it basically allows the hard drive to park the head when the OS thinks it’s idle. My hard drive makes a loud “click” every time that happens. APM is too aggressive, so my hard drive is constantly clicking unless I disable APM.
Recently, I’ve been changing distros about once a year. These are the things I install every time:
As for the config files, I always start fresh.
“Compact powerhouse” caught my attention. Unfortunately, “compact” is a 6.36 inch screen.
Unlike apt in Debian-based distros, zypper in OpenSUSE does not have an autoremove command that removes the unneeded dependencies of packages that were removed. To keep your system clean, use the --clean-deps option when removing packages.
FYI, the translation feature is available in the current stable version (v117), but it’s disabled by default. To enable it, go to about:config and set browser.translations.enable to true. I tried it earlier on a German website and it worked well.

I would expect a Star Trek instance to be the most welcoming to non-humans. I’m a Star Trek fan, but I honestly wouldn’t be able to answer that question without looking it up.
