Modified arch iso changes shell to bash when launching kde
  • taaz taaz 1w ago 100%

    If you exit KDE is the passwd shell of the root user actually changed to /usr/bin/bash ?
    Or is it just $kde_terminal_emulator running bash directly instead of respecting the shell selection (and possibly not opening a login shell) ?

    (Jerboa does not seem handle bad data signal too well, ignore the duplicates)

  • What are the requirements for a single user Lemmy instance?
  • taaz taaz 1w ago 100%

    Numbers from my instance, running for about a 1 year and with average ~2 MAU. According to some quick db queries there is currently 580 actively subscribed communities (it was probably a lot less before I used the subscribe bot to populate the All tab).

    SELECT pg_size_pretty( pg_database_size('lemmy') ): 17 GB

    Backblaze B2 (S3) reports average 22.5 GB stored. With everything capped to max 1 USD, I pay cents - no idea how backblaze does it but it's really super cheap, except for some specific transactions done on the bucket afaik, which pictrs does not seem to do.

    According to my zabbix monitoring, two months ago (I don't keep longer stats) the DB had only about 14G of data, so with this much communities I am getting about 1.5G per month (it's probably a bit more as I was recently prunning stuff from some dead instances).

    Prometheus says whole lemmy service (I use traefik) is getting within about 5 req/s (1m average) though if I go lower it does spike a lot, up to 12 requests within a second then nothing for few.

    Attach it to the VM

    Is this possible only with the extra, bought storage boxes ? Or is this possible even with the free 100G backup boxes offered with each dedicated machine ? (Or is this just nfs mount?)

    We have a dedicated machine in a project from Hetzner with big raided hard disks but the latency is starting creep up on us, moving some of the data off to the faster ssd/san boxes would be rather helpful.

  • Terrible performance compared to windows on Arch with non-steam games on proton.
  • taaz taaz 1w ago 100%

    Edit: I've reread your post, you are trying to run non-steam games through steam & proton right?

    Did you move/symlink compdata out of the NTFS disk?

    https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Steam/Troubleshooting#Steam_Library_in_NTFS_partition

    https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows#preventing-ntfs-read-errors

    I use ntfs3 (not ntfs-3g driver) with uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000,rw,user,exec,nofail,nocase,windows_names flags and after moving compada out (see the github link) it kind of just works.

    Also what is your HW? If you have a laptop with extra dedicated gpu or have PC with cpu with integrated graphics and extra GPU card the games might be trying to run on the wrong GPU.

    Graphical applications should definitely do this, it's rather easy to hit delete accidentally but in CLI? I wanna see a cat type rm and some valid parameters, so if the user typed the whole command out it should probably do just the one exact (destructive) thing.

  • I broke my first kernel
  • taaz taaz 3w ago 100%

    This happens to me often whenever nvidia (dkms) rebuilds and the module compilation fails (for whatever reason).

    Usually I drop into tty ctrl+alt+f2 as root, run dkms autoinstall (or just yay -S <your nvidia package> should trigger dkms rebuild if needed) and then rebuild initramfs ( mkinitcpio -P), reboot.

    Turn To Mist (Vapor Form) With Prone & Grabbed

    My PCs encountered a vampire. The barbarian successfully trips the vampire and then grabs her. Que the vampires turn and I am thinking about using the vampires special vapor form, Turn To Mist to get rid of the conditions - there is nothing preventing the vampire using it, it's not even manipulate. But some of my well-versed-in-rules players seemed to really dislike it, mainly the "free" getting up (which I countered with the polymorph trait, you are getting magically reformed). In my book it still costs 2 actions (physical to gas then gas to physical) same as removing the grabbed and then Standing up would, it does bypass rolling the fortitude check and any reactive strikes though.

    Anything without vocals so that it doesn't force me to actually think about it, just vibe.

    Lately Chikoi The Maid (maidcore rock) or Gnome (the Father Of Time album, just-riffs-rock?) to some dnb/techno stuff, depends on the mood and how hard I need to focus - faster is better then.

    Small disclaimer this is from the txt log which is not exactly complete, there are few pixels missing here and there. One second of the video is about 30 minutes of drawing (one frame contains 1 minute of drawing, 30 frames per second) Also a little bit of bragging - couldn't resist the challenge and got this all glued together in Python! Which is obviously a valid tool for this considering the rich data processing ecosystem. Well maybe except the video generation part... definitely except the video generation - Pyav - bindings for ffmpeg, are really badly documented, luckily they have at least good enough examples. The *short* story of how: - little bit of python script to convert the txt log into csv - from csv to pandas, there I made a few cleaning passes to get the "format" just right (mainly dealing with the `mod_fill` action) - pyav, ffmpeg and the world of video - oh boy: - for each one minute of drawing data - replay them over the canvas (numpy RGB array) - embed/copy the canvas into the video frame (another ndarray) - (add the timestamp above the canvas - cv2) - invoke pyav magic to *mux*/append it into the video - hope that your numpy array slices, splices, "broadcasts", pyav codec options and stream configurations are correct. Otherwise, watch as you end up with 1GB+ of mp4 file - 3 hours to watch whole (1s/30fps) with really bad resolution or inverted/wrong colors:) If anyone wants to tweak this or has ideas how to make this better just hit me up. Can also put the code somewhere if wanted. What a wild ride ha!

    So, finished RoW, I did not read the halfs (yet?) Edgedencer & Dawnshard - instead I cheated a bit and looked up the summary for these (Dawnshard mainly) as I was too hungry for more "spice" of the SA story so I wanted to continue with next SA book straight away. I did read all of the current Mistborn series we have before SA though about a year or something ago ::: spoiler So I do have some notion about the... shards, investiture and stuff but... I am still confused how the Cosmere magic works in general - I know that magic (Investiture) is different for each planet/system of the Cosmere and guessing it has something to do with the specific shards of that system... ? ::: ⠀⠀ Well, if anyone wants to chime in with pointers I would be very thankful! Meanwhile I will be scouring the wiki and WoBs to get a better picture.

    I wanted to reminisce a bit and play something that has Forestry (for the bees) and while I am not new to technic modpacks (Tekkit mainly) I don't have that much time to sink into automation now/reading wikis (that are a bit barren bc of the old mods) or going thru tons of (240p) videos. I choose E2 because I heard good things about Enigmatica in general so if I wanted Forestry it seemed like a good "latest and somewhat up-to-date" choice. Though, after breezing thru early game, going straight for dia pickaxe and making CC Turtle then `excavate` a bit to get a some ores, I found out I have no idea how to make some early-ish power generation and to top it of it looks like there is tons of different mods doing same thing, power generation, grinding, furnaces, pipes - so many different pipes and obviously three or four different energy units where I don't know what works with what. I guess I am asking if this is normal (or maybe E2 is too old?), also any tips for a "dusted-off" tekkit like experience? Or maybe something more streamlined. I would love something with forestry as my mid/end game plan is just bees. Thanks for any tips!
