It’s a gigabyte ab350m gaming-3 rev 1.0. it boots grub fine but then crashes right after displaying “loading Linux 6.x”, CPU led flashes then dram led stays on, I have to turn it off with the PSU switch.

Either it’s a rev 1.0 bug which is a thing on those motherboards, or the CPU (or igpu) is defective.

I’m currently waiting on support from both the seller and gigabyte but I don’t expect anything out of it, though I’m still yet to test it in a different motherboard.

Oh wow congrats, I’m currently in the struggle of stretching an ab350m to accept a 4600G and failing.

You’re right, you should hit PCIe 3 speeds and it’s weird, but the fact that the drives swap speeds depending on how they’re plugged in points to either drivers or the chipset.

I’m not fully familiar with the overheads associated with all things going on on a chipset, but it’s not unreasonable to think that this workload, plus whatever the chipset has to do (hardware management tasks mostly), as well as the CPU’s other tasks on similar interfaces that might saturate the IO die/controller, would influence this.

B350 isn’t a very fast chipset to begin with, and I’m willing to bet the CPU in such a motherboard isn’t exactly current-gen either. Are you sure you’re even running at PCIe 3.0 speeds too? There are 2.0 only CPUs available for AM4.

It might be that the data to both disks saturates a common link before the second disk reaches full iops capability, and thus the driver then writes at full speed on one disk and at half speed on the other, for twice as long.

DevOps was a lie pushed on devs to make them become sysadmins, unfortunately.

A few years ago there was a fantastic video detailing thorvald’s PC and it is a beast, crazy how far we’ve come

While Microsoft and Google merely pretend to like open source but transparently hate it, it is (was) not quite as obvious that red hat wanted to capture the enterprise Linux market wholesale. What red hat has done is terrible for the ecosystem, much more so than Microsoft just throwing out worthless tokens of appreciation.

Apart from the mouse thing (which I’m skeptical about), cloudflare also correlates your traffic with other sites hosted on cloudflare. Bots typically don’t visit many sites, click around there, find another one, etc, whereas humans will have visited other sites, will be slower at clicking the button, will have left comments on some sites.

So obviously this sucks, however.

Look into timewarrior+taskwarrior. They’re the only tools I’ve ever seen for these types of tasks that don’t fucking suck ass.

Notion syncs using https. It’s safe to say that as long as you haven’t specifically installed weird apps (notion is not a weird app) nothing going on on your PC is visible to anyone else.

This is of course, not true of enterprise and school devices, which usually have very powerful antivirus solutions installed that allow the work/school to see whatever you do (though they mostly don’t care, as long as you aren’t causing trouble on the network or doing things that might get them sued)

Can’t really go wrong with the old school nagios+thruk. The learning curve is a tad steep but it teaches you a lot of things about your systems.

Oh but they did. Turns out that this is specifically caused by one driver expecting another to be installed, the other one being for another of their products. If you have the other product installed, it doesn’t crash, so it didn’t crash on their machines because they have all their products installed and apparently not a single element of their test matrix has the single most common configuration they service

Good même but you can very much run lol on Linux. It’s weird around the edges especially in the launcher but it’s definitely playable.

The YouTube music app has one today.

It kind of needs that (you can use trucks to make it go away) because of the android model of apps where an app may get yeeted off a cliff if it’s not currently showing a notification. Again, you can pull some tricks but for the average user they have to do it this way.

If you turned off battery optimisations globally, it might still kill it. You specifically have to go into app options and allow it to be always on, as well as allowing all it’s notifications

Kde connect is great.

Most supercars are AWD, find one with a mid engine and yeah

It might be possible but unreliable. Your best bet is to have unRAID host a VM with a VM that has either the full steam client running on it or the appimage for the steam link app. Passthrough a GPU to it (you need to do that) and passthrough eventual peripherals to it. Connect the TV to the GPU output.

For a hardware solution, I suggest finding a cheap-ish Android tv box that has an Ethernet port, and then simply installing the steam link app from the play store. You will then be able to connect your controllers to it directly, using Bluetooth or wired. It might be tempting to go to Amazon but honestly AliExpress is 60% cheaper and the same (garbage) quality. Try to find a one that says it can do 4k, that usually means it’s capable of outputting 1080p.

All of this is completely disregarding the fact that you will likely have issues with game streaming when your host is on Linux. Try it out first with the steam link app on your phone.

Not possible really. The protocol Lemmy uses requires accounts, not only as a soft requirement, but the software your instance would be interacting with requires it to function.
