Looking for some advice - dating a Chinese girl

This isn't a race thing, more of a cultural thing.

I met a girl on Hinge, she is from China but studies in my city in the UK. We both had a good time, it was a simple coffee and walk date, I walked her home after and we agree'd we would see each other again next week.

What I don't know is, how will the differences between our cultures affect dating? I don't want to cross any boundaries I shouldn't and most of all I don't want to offend her. I plan on talking to her about these things if we go on to have more than 3 or 4 dates, but in the mean time, is there anything I should know?

I really enjoyed the company of this girl, and I can see myself having something special with her but I'm also being cautiously optimistic, it has only been 1 date after all.

Cannot get a single game working on Linux
  • Make sure you don’t have “amdvlk” installed rather than lib32-nvidia-utils

    https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Vulkan

    Arch wiki might not have correct details of package names for Ubuntu, but it’ll put you on the right track.

  • dlss3 to fsr3 mod became available
  • Since this uses a registry edit how would we do this in Linux? Through winetricks?

  • Are you ok (really, are you)?
  • It’s her I miss, beyond any doubts. I’m fighting like hell to work something out, but also trying to give her some space, it’s difficult finding the right balance between the two.

  • Are you ok (really, are you)?
  • I’ve done all of this as best I can, but I’m struggling with the eating and sleeping. I’m doing my best though.

  • Are you ok (really, are you)?
  • My girlfriend of 2 years broke up with me on Sunday, she’s the love of my life (have known each other far longer than 2 years). We have a child together, I don’t know what to do about it.

    I’m trying to talk to her and discuss how we can work through it, I don’t know if it’s going to work.

    Keep your fingers crossed for me I guess?

    I also haven’t eaten or slept properly since, I’m starving but I can’t actually put food in my mouth.

  • What's something you're oddly obsessed about? (SFW)
  • I’ve been streaming games from my PC to TV with moonlight & sunshine, now I’m setting up a docker container with steam built into it and giving it a whole GPU so I can game stream but my PC will still be usable with my other GPU.

    Don’t know why, I’m the only person who uses it lol, guess it’s a cool thing to do.

    Why are most computer cases clear and parts have tons of LEDs?
  • This is the case I use for my home server :)

  • Three gaming-focused Linux operating systems beat Windows 11 in gaming benchmarks
  • Arch is focused on however you put it together

  • Self hosted AI to train on an existing database

    I have a SQL database, and a schema document that goes with it, is there any kind of AI I can self host and train it on this data?

    The goal would be to ask it simple questions like “from which table in [dbname] can I find a list of products I’ve sold in the last x days”

    Would be even better if I could ask it to write some queries to find exactly what I’m after.

    What kind of hardware would I need to run something like this, if it exists?

    Why does it seem like women are more wont to make noise in sexual situations while men don't?
  • Well wayyy back in the day men knew they had to be quiet a lot since they were the ones out chasing food and hiding from tigers and shit. The females at the time would be in a safer area with the children. Maybe it’s survival instinct 😂

  • Remote Desktop solution that works without a monitor on host PC (Windows)
  • This paired with moonlight & sunshine will work perfectly.

  • [Discussion] Steam Autumn sale is live! What are you buying to llay on your deck?
  • I got RDR2 to play on my deck, already played it a few years ago on PS5 but I’ve been wanting to play it again.

  • Steam just lost my sale, or not.
  • I member

  • Valve updates Steam store to bring PlayStation DualSense support
  • Gotta admit this happens to me when playing yuzu on my deck, never been a Nintendo guy though

  • Which video game did you bounce off of at first, but then tried again later for it to become one of your favorites of all time?
  • Witcher 3, is was so bored for the first 30 mins I turned it off. Came back a year later, now got around 300 hours in the game.

  • we are safe
  • lol that’s not my ip, you’re like 6 numbers off

  • Valve updates Steam store to bring PlayStation DualSense support
  • Sounds like a skill issue bro, git gud

    Seriously tho, can see the issue here, I think it’s happened to me in the past

  • Valve updates Steam store to bring PlayStation DualSense support
  • Doesn’t matter at all to me, I know X means A and A means X

    Played both consoles for years it’s all muscle memory now

  • I switched it off for a reason!
  • VM’s are always an option

  • Cloudflare for self hosted services

    I’ve been using cloudflare for dynamic dns for my self hosted nextcloud, audio book service and matrix server, but I’m trying to get away from depending on a big tech company. What alternative can I use?

    Can I host my own service?

    Black Ops 4 - graphical issues

    Has anyone got BO4 running reasonably well? I can get it running and join games easy enough, but there’s sever graphical issues, all the textures blend together when moving the mouse.

    I’m running through Lutris, tried multiple proton versions. 5950x, 3070 latest drivers, 16g ddr4.

    SWAG cant see other containers

    So my SWAG docker can't see other containers on the same docker network, all the conf files need the IP and Port to work.

    The other containers can see each other (sonarr and sab for example) and they are all on the same network.

    Anyone know why?

    Found the fix: !

    I need a solution for backing up images and videos from iOS

    I currently use Nextcloud and Immich, Nextcloud on iOS is garbage though, it can't auto upload files if they are too big, even with the application open.

    Immich is great, but is under very active development, so it could break any time. I take backups of the images and store it in my array, and external HDD and Google Drive (encrypted, nothing I upload to G drive is unencrypted). Immich is stores content in a complicated directory structure that goes 3-4 folders deep, I'm hoping to find something that just uploads all my photos and videos to a single folder or two.

    iCloud only gives me 5GB, and it's almost full, and I dont want to pay for G Drive and iCloud+.

    Is there another solution I can use to just store photos on my server, that will auto upload from iOS without issue?

    Case recommendation

    So right now my server (unRAID) is a PC, with a PCI SATA card installed hooked up to 6 HDD’s, 2 SSD’s and an NVME. I also have a 1070 in there for transcoding and a few other things.

    I want to move to a rack mounted case, but I don’t want to buy a different form factor motherboard or PSU (cause expensive). Can anyone recommend an ATX server case? Also a rack for it to go in?

    Controlling fans while doing GPU pass through

    I use coolercontrol to set fan curves, but the application needs to be open for it to work. If I run GPU pass through there is no X server running, so the app can’t stay open while running the VM and I have no control over fan curves.

    I tried passing the commander pro through to the VM and use FanControl for windows but it can’t see any temperature sensors, so I can’t set use it properly.

    How can I set the fan curves properly while using the VM? I use to play cyberpunk, probably the most demanding game I own, so I need to keep temperatures down to stop the game running like shit.

    Mod support for linux

    What are our options for mods in Linux? I’m currently playing cyberpunk, which has thousands of available mods but no easy way to install loads in one go.

    Vortex through lutris doesn’t seem to work at all and MO2 doesn’t support cyberpunk as far as I know.

    Are there any other mod managers I can use? The only decent alternative I have is a windows VM, mod the game then move it to my host then play, but updates would be a nightmare. Either that or just play in the VM.

    CP2077 Flatlining

    Every time I launch 2077 it glitches its way through a few frozen screens from the intro then flatlines.

    Tried multiple proton versions, KDE and i3, all drivers are up to date as well.

    Is anyone else having these problems?

    Looking for a small form factor PC to use as a router

    I'm looking for a 1L type PC, with dual gigabit, or a single gigabit (or 2.5g) port and space to put in a PCI card with more ports on it.

    Planning to use it as a router, not decided on which OS yet, probably OPNSense.

    Any advice on what to buy? Don't want to spend more than 150GBP, don't mind buying second hand either.

    Buying advice (Zigbee)

    I’m planning to put HA on a pi, with a usb antenna

    I can’t decide which bulbs to use, Philips hue looks great but it’s pricey and I’m pretty sure it’s got too much “phone home” crap. I don’t want anything to leave my network. If I can use Hue bulbs without the hub, or block the hub from phoning home I would consider it?

    I found some Sengled bulbs that look fine, but I don’t know if they are any good.

    Can someone recommend some decent bulbs? Colour ones preferably, but white is OK too.

    Any other advice? Got a home server, so can host just about anything to get this working together.
