I love how no one really cares about angle and cef, they just want steam on Wayland

(Me included)

I have a similar setup and it works. So you are probably doing something wrong, I don’t know what. Maybe look at dmesg for a filesystem error.

That is not a good method for testing. Maybe the filesystem still requires new files to be smaller than free space. Or maybe the file could be not really compressible, for example, you won’t be able to compress random data. You also won’t compress already compressed data, like videos.

You could write a real text file of some kB and then check the compression ratio with something like “compsize”.

The mount command mounts the disk with the options you give to it but only once. Now, because you don’t want to manually run mount everytime you use your disk, you must set it up so it is always mounted with the options you want. Udisks2 is one of the tools for that.

edit: apparently compsize is btrfs only. You can use “du” with and without --apparent-size and check the differenze

So, first of all, there is no gui for this, that I’m aware of, so you will have to do it from terminal. Second, on f2fs, compression works that you don’t enable compression for a folder, instead you mount the drive with compression enabled, and new files will be compressed automatically.

So what you need is to set up your disk to be mounted with compression. There are many paths you can follow here. If you want your drive to be (almost) permanently connected, the easiest way is to use “/etc/fstab”. If you want to use it as a regular SD card, mounting and ejecting it from your file explorer etcetera, then you should go here and learn how to have udisks2 mount your device with compression, which should be what your desktop environment uses to mount drives. I suggest you set that up for your specific device, and not for all f2fs devices. Good luck.

You can look up other useful f2fs options on the arch wiki. I suggest you add all those options that reduces writes to your disk and improve durability (like lazytime).

You should use zstd as compression algorithm, and because this is a slow and small drive, you can crank up the level of compression.

If you manage to pull this off, the next time you install a (bigger and faster) drive on your pc, you can try to look into zfs.

If it’s a flash memory (sd card, usb stick, ssd, etc), you could try f2fs, it’s very light, and it supports compression and is meant specifically for that kind of devices (well, more for ssds).

But judging your experience from your comments, I suggest you don’t delve into niche filesystems until you have more experience with Linux, especially for something like 128MB. I especially suggest you avoid zfs for now.

From what I see, the dolphin bar requires walking up to it to change mode. We want to enable and disable the IR by holding a button, and other combos in general. Also, I don’t know if the dolphin bar still lacks pointer smoothing, but we have it, and it’s even configurable

Thanks!

You can buy an usb-powered one for a couple euros from AliExpress, or you can hook 5V to an original bar. But the bar itself is just two Infrared lights, there’s plenty of substitutes (i.e. literally two candles 20cm apart).

P.s. do not leave the bar permanently on, you will burn out the LEDs. The Wii turns it off with the console

P.p.s. you can configure esperto-wiimote to run a command when you connect the First wiimote, and disconnect the last. It’s meant for turning on and off the bar, if you can do it programmatically

Fedora desktop (any DE, and most desktop distros, for that matter) uses networkmanager to configure networks, because it is powerful and offers an API for DEs to configure networks, so as long as you have the drivers, networking will work the same. However, If I recall correctly, Gnome and KDE use the same frontend library for networkmanager, just with different GUIs, so they really are going to be the same, and they have for many years. Cosmic being new and rust based might have rolled its own frontend or used a different library, and it might not be as mature as what the other DEs use.

Try configuring your WiFi manually, editing networkmanager’s config files directly, instead of the gui. And see if that work. I would even suggest straight up copying the config files produced by gnome or KDE.

👀👀 uh? Do tell me more!

I’ve been using it on my Amazon firetv stick, and I’m loving it. I first tried it because I cannot use revanced on the fire stick, but it’s actually pretty good.

Also, you can link it to your official YouTube app and control it from your phone

Mainly two reasons, one about architecture, and one about vendors

In the PC world, the entire ecosystem is designed to be modular, and people expect to be able to put windows/Linux on any pc and have it work despite the manufacturer. The kernel just wakes up on one of the cores, figures out the CPU, wakes the rest of the cores, and from there it figures out the rest of the computer. By contrast arm systems are tightly integrated, each SoC is unique and there’s no way to figure out the rest of the system, the kernel wakes up on one of the cores, reads out what SoC this is, and mostly has to already know the chip and any additional hardware connected to it.

But, sure, there are only so many SoCs (kinda), and displays, cameras, and touchscreens are mostly similar, you are bound to find a way to tell the kernel what hardware is running on and have it work, right? Except a lot of phone hardware is proprietary (duh) and requires bespoke proprietary drivers, google pretends to encourage vendors to submit their drivers upstream, but this doesn’t really happen. Now, if you are familiar with running external drivers on Linux, you probably know how picky the kernel is in what to load, but android’s kernel is specifically modified to be less picky, to allow vendors more slack. Mind you, the API is not more stable, the kernel is just less picky.

Bonus: running Linux on arm laptops is indeed proving kind of a challenge (nothing impossible, but resources are limited), that’s because they are built like a mobile phone.

First of all, they were developed around the same time; second, no one said that a protocol should remain unchanged for 35 years. And lastly, the people in “what’s wrong with these people” are the people pretending gopher is any good today, and a reasonable alternative to the web, which factually isn’t the case as apparently it did remain unchanged for 35 years. And if it didn’t remain unchanged but did not add certificates, it would just make things look even worse.

Wait, gopher didn’t use certificates? What’s wrong with these people? And of course these are going to be just gpg certificates, not authoritative I imagine, or it would defeat the entire decentralised thing.

I really don’t get this stuff. If you want pure text websites, just make them, you are allowed to use pure html, you don’t have to use JavaScript if you don’t want to. You can get real certificates for free from Let’s Encrypt, and you can use any free DNS service you want

Is this just yet another gopher protocol? Or does it come with anything interesting

Fucking finally

I hope everyone else follows soon. If you like it when you are trying to open a link on a new tab and your system randomly decides to spew a selection from another app into a random text box you are free to configure that yourself. Remember to configure in a cilice wrapping your thigh while you are at it, it’s unix-compliant and has been around for centuries.

It will hurt less being disabled

You can look for a second hand office pc with a newer socket, so you can comfortably upgrade the CPU without having to buy new motherboard and ram, but that would still leave you with an old GPU.

Maybe look for a second hand server/workstation on eBay. The CPU might not be the best for gaming, but you might upgrade that later, and you would get an upgraded gpu. Or you could just delay the GPU upgrade
