Most gamers prefer single-player games [teenagers prefer Online PvP tho]
  • Well when I was a teenager I liked pvp games. Now I don't. I assume when they're adults some of them will feel the same, probably

  • Caddy and forgejo
  • Not really through Caddy but for my setup I have it so the ssh port for Forgejo is only accessible through tailscale. So for push/pulling updated my ssh config file to something like

    Host git.mysite.com HostName tailscaleMachineName User git Port 1234

    Then doing git pull git@git.mysite.com:user/project.git works just fine as long as I am connected to tailscale

    Otherwise you could open the port for Forgejo's ssh so that you can access it without any vpn

  • What is the most painless and minimal way to dual boot these days?
  • Getting a second drive just for windows I think is a good approach. If you were to do so, it's important that you remove all other drives while installing windows, otherwise the Windows installer will put its boot files into whatever existing EFI partition it finds.

    Then using something like https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat you should be good to go with a relatively clean setup.

    To have a local account, I use Rufus to setup the usb installer in a way that it automatically creates the local account, and it can also disable the secure boot and tpm requirements from the installer if you want. Though I think rufus is a windows program only. I know there's the "OOBE" approach for the local account, but I haven't done that before. That could be an option too

  • Bluetooth Audio Issues when launching a game?
  • https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bluetooth_headset

    Sections 3.3 or 3.4

    I did 3.4 to disable the headset profiles cause generally it's ass

  • Kubuntu Night Control does not automatically change always
  • I have had this happen to me when my monitor turns off before the night shift starts and when I come back let's say an hour later and the night shift is not on.

    Prob has something to do with the monitor being off at the switching time

  • Forza Horizon 4 Is Disappearing And It's All Because Of Stupid Licenses [not known if music, real-world car models etc.]
  • For this same dumb reason I wanted to play Forza Motorsport 7 on PC and couldn't buy it.

    And somehow you can still get NFS games that are at least 10 years old I think

  • $843 million lawsuit against Valve already has its own website: "The Steam Claim" accuses the biggest store in PC gaming of "overcharging" players
  • The one example I can think of is the Remnant games, at least for Remnant 2 on release it was cheaper on Epic Store than on Steam, by like 10 USD if I recall correctly

  • Can I remove a git repo without resorting to `rm -rf` ?
  • A tip I saw some time ago is to do:

    rm folder -rf

    Additionally you could move the git folder to the trash folder. I think it's usually located at $HOME/.local/share/trash/files/

    Then you can delete it from the trash once you're certain you got the right folder

    Bazzite 3.0.1 Update Released
  • It mentions it fixed bluetooth issues with certain devices, I wonder if it's related to what I'm experiencing on regular fedora KDE (and EndeavorOS too) with a kernel version 6.9.3, CachyOS kernel on fedora, Liqourix on EndeavorOS, where my game controller will not connect to Bluetooth unless I restart the bluetooth service or pair the controller again.

    With Fedora's default kernel which is currently 6.8.11 I don't have this issue. Honeslty I don't know what's up, and from a quick search I couldn't find people with the same issue. I'll search again later just in case

  • How bad is Microsoft?
  • One pet peeve of mine is how in Windows 10 switching between virtual desktops was flawless, and somehow in Windows 11 they fucked it up. At first it had no animation when switching, the taskbar kind of glitches. Now it has an animation but it's kind of delayed and the taskbar still kind of glitches, it seems to reload or something. Kinda crazy honestly

  • Plasma 6.1 Beta Review, Its Perfect.
  • I tried it out for a while and I think a new feature? is that you can control de brightness of the monitor through Plasma. Cool for one monitor but I have 2 and one is brighter than the other at a given brightness %, so it got a bit annoying. I didn't look further into it but when 6.1 is released on Fedora I will probably need to.

    Additionally the SDR colors when HDR is turned on looked better overall. Better than Windows was able to do even. Awesome stuff

  • Japan seeks international coordination to thwart online manga, anime piracy
  • mfers raised the yearly price from 80 USD to 100 this year, and then they sent me an email that next year it'll be 120! a 50% increase in two years, insane.

  • Self-hosting Photo Alternatives
  • I use Photoprism, mainly because it seems stable so far, and it's good enough for my needs

  • which OS for transcoding with jellyfin and gpu intel arc a380?
  • May be related to this: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/11380

    I know my setup with intel integrated gpu worked prior to the release pf 10.9. Now I can't get transcoding to work. In the comments they suggest the kernel version has something to do with it but for me it didn't fix it. I'll have to troubleshoot further today

    Meanwhile transcoding works fine in Plex, so I feel it may be something specific to jellyfin

  • how to set up jellyfin with podman and selinux and an intel gpu (a380) for transcoding?
  • I can speak at least for rootless podman, I spent some hours on it and different ways I tried all ended in permission issues.

    I gave up on trying to do it properly and just set the permissions of the /dev/dri device to 666, so that my podman container can use the gpu for transcoding.

    Part of the issue with the container images that I tried is that they create a new user with whatever uid:gid I pass to the container, and so even if my nonroot user is part of the render group, the new user inside the container is not and so it can't write to the /dev/dri/renderD128 (gpu), and so transcode wouldn't work.

    That's where I left the troubleshooting at cause it was being a headache

  • Helldivers 2 received over 14,000 negative reviews today due to an update that will require PSN accounts next week.
  • I haven't tried the account linking process yet but I wanted first to log in to PSN through their website and I can't, not even from different devices.

    Anyone else having a similar issue?

  • Podman rootless Jellyfin/Plex container with hardware acceleration
  • Thanks for the resources, I'll check them out later today!

  • Podman rootless Jellyfin/Plex container with hardware acceleration
  • Yeah I'm fairly certain it's a permission issue. Having the gpu with permissions 666 makes it work inside the containers.

    The thing is also that these container images (plex and jellyfin) create a separate user inside, instead of using the root user, and this new user ("abc" for lsio images) doesn't get added to the same groups as the root user.

    Also the render group that gets passed to the container appears as "nogroup", so I thought of adding user abc to "nogroup" but still didn't seem to work.

  • Podman rootless Jellyfin/Plex container with hardware acceleration
  • Thanks! I'll take a look there

  • Podman rootless Jellyfin/Plex container with hardware acceleration

    I've been trying to get hardware acceleration working on rootless containers of Plex and Jellyfin and I can't get it to work the proper way.

    My current workaround is having my device /dev/dri/renderD128 with permissions set to 666, but I feel like that really isn't an ideal setup.

    Some things I've done:

    -Currently I'm running my containers with my user with ID 1000.

    -My user is part of the render group, which is the group assigned to:

    /dev/dri/renderD128

    -I'm passing the device to the containers as such:

    --device /dev/dri:/dev/dri

    -In my plex container for example, I'm passing the IDs to use as such:

    -e PUID=1000 and -e PGID=1000

    -I tried the option "--group-add keep-groups" and I see the groups in the container but I believe they're assigned to the root user in the container, and from my understanding, the plex and jellyfin images I've tried I think they create a user inside with the IDs I pass, in this case 1000, and so this new user doesn't get assigned my groups on the host. I'm using the LinuxServer.io images currently but I saw the official plex image creates a user named "plex". The LinuxServer.Io images create a user named "abc".

    -Out of curiosity on the host I changed the group of /dev/dri/renderD128 to my user's group 1000, but that didn't work either

    -I tried with the --privileged option too but that didn't seem to work either, at least running podman as my user.

    -I haven't tried running podman as root for these containers, and I wonder how that compares security-wise vs having my /dev/dri/renderD128 with permissions set to 666

    For some context, I've been transitioning from Docker to Podman rootless over the past 5 days maybe. I've learned a couple of things but this one has been quite a headache.

    Any tips or hints would be appreciated. Thanks!
