They’re portable and don’t require that I install anything. If I’m looking for an odd tool, it’s usually the easiest way to download and test something out. It’s just nice to have a standalone executable.

Flatpaks are fine, I really have no problem with them in theory but I spend twice as long configuring them as I do with a native program, and I have to trust that the maintainer is affiliated with the project, which isn’t always the case.

I think they were getting at Flatpaks, Snaps or AppImages (my personal favourite)

Sounds like something akin to the Dimensity 7100 based on spec sheets. Wi-fi 6, BT 5.4 both narrow the scope down significantly.

Mid range SoC, but still supporting LPDDR5 and UFS 3.1

New season soon too!

…Lyft Bieber?

I think HTG used to be, but they seem to have pivoted to more than just their tech listicles and have a few writers that cover niche tech topics

I hope this has movement that feels in any way similar, but aesthetically this looks interesting.

Yes, you got it.

It’s possible that however your ISP provided router is designed, it’s got some hidden port forward configuration. If that router has an option typically referred to as “bridge mode”, you could bypass its routing features altogether and use your own router instead.

ISPs often have clauses about using their residential internet for hosting servers or exposed services, and it’s possible your has taken a different approach to mitigating traffic from those sources.

If you can, I’d recommend using your own router rather than what the ISP provides.

If I understand correctly, it sounds like you moved from an ISP that uses CGNAT to one that does not. Does your ISP provide a modem? If so, are you relying on the software features of that modem, or do you have a router inbetween?

I’m using Fedora 43 Plasma under Wayland, with the regular Discord flatpak. Vesktop works, but I recall some oddly hacky things I had to do to make it work

It works and has worked for a while. Application specific sharing for audio is an oddity though, since it can’t seem to isolate and you get all desktop audio excluding discord

Because they actually are. There’s effectively no rules barring women from competing on regular esports teams, it just never seems to happen. There isn’t the same drive or interest, and there isn’t enough in the overall culture to support it. This isn’t some kind of proposed physical separation, it’s intended to drive interest and representation from a competitive standpoint.

It’s best practice to keep it separate, and that mostly just has to do with how the different file systems are handled.

Wayland works differently than X11 in this regard. Using Fedora 40 on a Lenovo Yoga 730, I had to enable Tablet Mode from the KDE settings and then auto-rotation worked fine

Surface devices might be different though, so I can’t say too much about them. There may be a specific sensor library or tool required, since Wayland communicates with your device differently than X11

Interviews do typically count, it just has to be citable. Videos are sufficient in that regard as well, not just articles or books. It would be different if Torvalds had edited his own wikipedia page, but an editor who updates the page and cites this video would not be in the wrong.

I’m all for this. Wayland has its downsides, and X11 has its place, but I appreciate much more that Wayland is built for a desktop experience, and the broad support for different display technologies that KDE has made a priority in Plasma 6 is a large reason for why I made the jump over to Linux full time.

XWayland hasn’t caused any significant issues for me either. As far as the experience goes, it’s pretty much transparent to the user. For the average person, the biggest difficulty still to solve is probably the XWayland video bridge that doesn’t quite work as seamlesly as it should yet.

I mean, I feel like he outright confirms it in the video. It’s his distro of choice since it allows him to easily use his own compiled kernels in testing. Anything else is an inconvenience to his work.

These Zen-esque chips have come up before, though it sounds like this might be the first time they’ve been used in a marketed product. A couple other companies born out of the remnants of Centaur also seemed to have borrowed architectural notes from the early Zen CPUs, potentially as a result of their competitors like Hygon making that deal with AMD almost 10 years ago. It’s the first time one seems to be almost a boilerplate 1700x though.

How’s the overall health of the drives? You might want to get a quick SMART report.

Otherwise, this sounds like pretty normal drive activity. It could be the result of anything from indexing tools to casual background processes doing a read.

If it’s periodic in a way that’s consistent, then it’s almost definitely something in software. What docker services are you running? Do you have any auditing tools or security processes that might be actively logging activity?

It’s pretty unlikely you’ve contracted malware unless you’ve gone out of your way to expose the server to outside sources, so I think you can alay those concerns.

This is convenient. I’ve found that for most software though, especially legacy software, Heroic seems to work more often than not. Not having to configure some of the parameters myself that are required to get DX7 games to scale properly is appreciated.
