I’m not sure about MSI, but most Lenovo, especially if it’s a business model, will be supported pretty well and will probably have a page on the arch Linux wiki dedicated to it or it’s series.

Yeah I was surprised. I’m hoping it was a manufacturing defect and assuming they replace it it doesn’t happen again. If they don’t replace it though I have to stick to my convictions.

As an avid dbrand fan, their grip case for the Pixel 9 Pro was disappointing. The plastic around the USB port is super brittle and broke after less than a week. Now the bottom is deformed and I’m waiting on a reply to my support ticket before I find an alternate case and kiss my skin goodbye

There are some great mobile games out there. A few of my favorites include Dawncaster and Slice & Dice. Personally when I’m looking for a new game I use https://www.darkpattern.games/ to check if they are exploitive.

I’ve seen it a few times in passing and always assumed it was like, a tech demo or proof of concept.

I’ve had bad tinkering break my system before, but never had an update break it irreversibly. The closest would actually be on Silverblue itself, when an update to the kernel was using different signing keys that cause the system not to boot. Fortunately it was simple, I selected the previous deployment and I was in (on a non versioned OS I would have selected the previous kernel which most are configured to retain the last few). A quick Google revealed Ublue had a whole kerfuffle and after verifying it was legit, I enrolled the new certs into my MOK.

Although one time on Arch I had installed an experimental version of Gnome from one of their repos, and was pleasantly surprised when that version finally released and I removed the experiment repo and did an update absolutely nothing at all broke. Nothing.

LUKS, or anything that relies on the server encrypting, is highly vulnerable (see schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business’s response).

Your best bet would be encrypting client side before it arrives on the server using a solution like rclone, restic, borg, etc.

Programming and self hosting the results when I was ~14 is what led me to a tech background. No university, but I’ve been working professionally in both IT and software for over a decade and self hosting even longer.

The new gamer’s nexus review outlines some pretty specific prerequisites that AMD sent to fix performance on Windows, and AMD didn’t communicate those until they’d had the review units for days.

Bookmarking Arkane. I’m a huge fan of Fedora Atomic but miss AUR.

Running Fedora Atomic (Silverblue) has definitely saved ms a few times already, being able to roll back to the previous state, or to a state I pinned. The first time was due to the ublue signing key change, the second had no apparent cause. Both issues would have given me more of a headache without the built in ability to roll back.

I haven’t checked in a while, so they may have walked back on this, but supposedly we finally get coop in the next one.

Due to the nature if those charts, they’re usually web based, not desktop native, and will probably have to be self hosted, even just locally. For example, Redmine supports Gantt charts and can be spun up fairly easily from its Docker image.

The command modifies the firewall to allow all incoming traffic on the docker0 network interface (which is created by Docker). It’s basically a bypass.

You can configure Docker to not try and manage it’s own rules, here is some discussion on the topic: https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/22054#issuecomment-2241481323

They’re pretty insecure anyway, my current P14s Gen1 has a working fingerprint reader on Silverblue but I haven’t really used it.

I haven’t used a T14, just the E14 and the P14S.

New ish. My current Thinkpad is a P14s Gen 1 with a Ryzen 4750U 16GB of RAM, and it came with a 512GB SSD. I paid just under $300 for it on eBay and well worth the cost. I wouldn’t get anything that is still a TXXX variant anymore though (e g. T490), they simplified the product line. So T490 was replaced by the E14 Gen 1, and the P14s Gen 1 is an AMD variant.

Highly recommend. One thing worth noting though is to double check the fingerprint reader if you desire that, the E14 Gen 1 has a reader not compatible with Linux in a functional way. The P14s Gen 1 however does.

Safety Net was replaced with the “Play Integrity API”. The current workaround I’m using is “Play Integrity Fix” by chiteroman and playcurl by daboynb. I believe this is still limited to Android 14 but could be wrong. The xda thread for it could shed some light.

I’ve been using Porkbun for over 5 years and haven’t had any issues. I switched from a mix of Google Domains and Namecheap.
