Migrating Account

Is it possible to migrate my account or should I just link it in the new one? I’m worried about the .zip in lemmy.zip and would like to bite the bullet and change over to another instance.

Question: Creating Community in App

Is it possible to do this? From my understanding, it’s not mentioned in the README or any way to create a community in the app.

does anyone know how to install steamrip games on lutris???
  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVuabEckMMA

    (From https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/kqw0si/guide_on_how_to_easly_run_pirated_games_on_linux/?rdt=44586)

    • Download pirated game
    • Install Lutris and find your game in it
    • Install original game through Lutris
    • Using WINEPREFIX="/Lutris/game/prefix (eg. /home/USER/Games/originalgame)" wine piratedgame.exe install pirated game into this Lutris prefix
    • Apply crack
    • (optional) Copy your saves into this prefix' c:\Users\Documents folder
    • Change game executable in lutris from platform exe (like EGS or Steam) to your pirated game's .exe
    • Run game using Lutris.

    If Lutris is having issues, you may have better luck using Bottles, also trying the non flatpak version if you are currently using flatpak.

  • Deleted
    *Permanently Deleted*
  • Loglevel was at 7 before changing, systemd-analyze also seems to have an error with counting firmware on startup which seems to be the case with others as well. Aside from changing to a static address, I disabled a service that was waiting for eth0 which did not exist.

  • Downloading Websites

    I’ve been looking online for ways to download websites (game wikis mostly), in order to have them all in my collection and ensure that they dont get taken down or changed.

    After trying linkwarden, which is fine for singular web pages, one has to manually link each individual page of the wiki in order to make a pdf.

    With this in mind, the only other option that I’ve discovered is using wget recursively. Do any you of you have experience with this or reccomend alternative ideas? Any and all help is appreciated.

    PS: I will most likely download official game guides which will cover most of the games, but looking for something to cover all my games library.

    Good “Buy for Life” Brands
  • I didn’t think about military surplus stores. There seems to be some items that people really enjoy, like the army poncho liners or old ammo canisters for containers.

    I’ve been looking for a genuine army poncho liner but can only find knock offs online and cant find a reputable surplus store online if it exists

  • What are your ear buds cleaning rituals?
  • I got an airpod cleaning multi tool from Amazon and it actually works really well.

    Also if you have the Sony xm1004, they have little foam bits in them and over the years they get soaked up with sweat and earwax, it’s really gross. So if you think your sound is super quiet and have earbuds with foam inserts, first use some tweezers and something to gently squeeze out the foam and clean with isopropyl alcohol.

  • Tools of the Trade

    What are some lesser known items or tricks in your profession that most people don’t know about?

    For me one thing would be Thrift drain cleaner. I was having issues with my drains being clogged and nothing really worked, but looking around on forums and advice from plumbers lead me to Thrift and now my drains work great.

    Good “Buy for Life” Brands

    Some that come to mind are:

    Benchmade - knives Darn Tough - socks Carhartt - good work gear Doc martens - footwear

    What are some good reputable brands that you have had for 5 years + with little to no issues or with a lifetime warranty.

    Is there a sponsor block situation for Podcasts?
  • I think the only reasonable way to do that would be using AI since the sponsors are placed randomly throughout usually. Unless you listen to a specific podcast and they do same length of sponsor in same time slot every video you could automate something that cuts it out.

  • My Linux Journey
  • Fair enough, I most likely broke the system due to not understanding it when using Endeavour. From my understanding now, someone can choose to not install de specific programs and additional endeavouros apps.

  • Printable Walkthroughs
  • Most of the guides I will try to add to my kindle or save on my laptop. Looking for Doom 2016, Doom Eternal, Animal Crossing, Elden Ring, Demons Souls. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it and may make a personal list of all the games and links.

    Printable Walkthroughs

    Hello everyone, I remember the times of walkthrough guides being used for older games and was wondering if there is a central area for game walkthroughs for both newer games and older games through late 90s and early 2000s. There are official game guides which I may get, but fan guides would be cool as well.

    I’m looking for a somewhat easy to read printable pdf format for games including the dark souls series (all fromsoft games), doom, skyrim, etc etc. My job requires me to be offline for extended periods of time, and I really do like the use of guides in order to keep track of my progress and as a quick reference.

    Thanks for any and all help you can provide.

    My Linux Journey
  • I appreciate the big response, and definitely have to look into compiling and the build process, using git, more terminal centric applications, etc. I’ve seen that there is a distro to learn Linux that comes in stages, I don’t know what it’s called off the top of my head.

    Setting flags does seem very annoying, it’s hard for me to keep track of programs and settings already.

  • My Linux Journey
  • I forgot to mention Fedora Silverblue. I’ve used it after Micro os and it was a better experience. Fedora seems to have a better out of box experience and had no issues.

  • My Linux Journey
  • I understand now, maybe give Debian a try with KDE.

    Edit: or Fedora/Opensuse and their immutable versions (I believe the kde ones are in beta for immutable but work great if all you need is flatpaks)

  • My Linux Journey

    Hello everyone, I’ve been using linux on my main system for the past few years and am very happy with the results. From repurposing old family laptops to give them new life, to being able to play triple A games with little to no issues, Linux has turned into my OS of choice.

    Through all of the ups and downs, learning about the different distros and desktop environments/ window managers has taught me a lot about what each distro is aiming for and how they want to achieve it.

    The purpose of this post is to mainly help encourage others to make the switch. Regardless of use case, I believe that it can be done better with Linux. Don’t be discouraged by the overwhelming amount of distros out there, I can say that I have spend the first year taking Linux more seriously messing with different distros and seeing what works well.

    This is a list of distros that I’ve used in chronological order and my thoughts on it:

    • Ubuntu - Used as email and web machine for family members on old computers, worked fine
    • Linux Mint - Looks more like Windows, seems faster than Ubuntu
    • Pop OS - Used for their easy install option for my Nvidia dual gpu laptop which was a pain on anything else, worked okay
    • Manjaro - Was a bit more difficult to get used to, ended up feeling buggier than Linux Mint
    • Endeavouros - Slightly better than Manjaro, still had random bugs and wiki was not very helpful
    • Garuda OS - Similar to last two, just reskinned
    • Opensuse TW - First distro that I truly enjoy, more up to date and easy to manage
    • Opensuse MicroOs - Wanted to see what the immutable distro thing was about, works fine but gets hairy if you want to install non flatpaks or give flatpaks access to system files. I definitely see the use case, just not suited for what I’m doing
    • Debian - Similar to first 3 without extra customization of distro, not as up to date in some areas but the tradeoff is a much more stable less bloated environment. In my opinion its the best for a system that you want to work every time with little to no issues as long as you don’t mind missing cutting edge feature
    • Arch(btw) - My current distro. Spent a whole weekend trying to install it wondering if it was worth all the time. After installation, system works great on AMD hardware and is set up for dual gpu passthrough to play nearly any game with no issues. The wiki is amazing and has helped me solve any issues that I’ve come across.

    To conclude, Linux is difficult at first, but after learning more about how things interact and understanding more of what’s happening, the result is extremely stable with so much to learn and discover. I also reccomend taking the dive into more terminal based applications when possible, they have been more efficient and less buggy in my experience, although I understand not wanting to live in the terminal. In the end, it’s your system and you can customize it however you need, take the time and find out what works best for you and you will be very happy with the results.
