Chromebooks are locked down yes, but they do give you the keys. It involves unplugging the internal battery to be able to modify the hardware write protection, entering dev mode to disable the write protection, and then flashing a Coreboot port onto the firmware. Even then, a lot of basic things may or may not work once you're booted into Linux. From experience I don't recommend.

Installing Linux bare onto a Chromebook involves unplugging the internal battery (or buying a cheap special USB thing) to disable the hardware write protection and flashing a custom BIOS. Some models have issues with basic things like sound output not working through speakers or headphones or both. From experience I don't recommend.

If you still really want to though there are two websites that are really useful and should have up to date information.

Database server had a kernel panic (crashed). You can get status updates from the telegram channel.

 

I'm on unstable and updated my flake.lock and 2 of my Steam games stopped working: Tiny Tina's Wonderlands and Elden Ring. Rolled back to my previous generation and they work again.

Is there a way to roll through nixpkgs commits to find the breaking commit? How do I gather the logs they will need and where should I report it to?

I just cloned the existing rule for Elden Ring as a custom rule, but changed the extension to match the co-op save.

I don't know about other people, but the only thing I don't like about Signal is that it is centralized. It seems to be the only option to actually get everything right for security though from what I hear.

Old games don't use "HDR" the same way we use it today. In old games, enabling HDR makes the lighting calculations in the game engine have infinite range which will then be mapped onto SDR colorspace, which is all software and very much supported in Linux.

If anything the screenshots show a gamma calibration issue. From my experience on Linux native Team Fortress 2, the in-game gamma slider does not do anything.

Assuming USA:

The software can absolutely be declared illegal under DMCA and has already been done to the DVD decrytion software DeCSS. Nintendo would just have to convince the courts that the primary purpose of the software is to circumvent their DRM, and I doubt any lawyer would want to defend that when circumventing copy protection is absolutely happening.

Relevant DMCA passage:

Section 1201(a)(2) of the Copyright Act, part of the DMCA, provides that:

"No person shall . . . offer to the public, provide or otherwise traffic in any technology . . . that---

"(A) is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under [the Copyright Act];

"(B) has only limited commercially significant purpose or use other than to circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under [the Copyright Act]; or

"(C) is marketed by that person or another acting in concert with that person with that person's knowledge for use in circumventing a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under [the Copyright Act]."

How much of the "coins" actually go to the artists and writers?

His actual computer related stuff has good advice in it but a lot surrounding that advice is indeed pretty sus or extrapolates to clownish end analysis. Like Ford patenting a speeding snitcher to put in their cars that reports other nearby speeding vehicles to the police is going to lead to the end of non-autonomous driving. I wonder if "car dependency" means anything to him. Just engage with it critically.

They want to get to the equivalent of vim's :

Unbind ctrl+e from your window manager / terminal emulator. The shortcut is never reaching Micro at all.

 

Does anybody know if there is a website or resource that has NixOS modules you can include in your config?

What software is out there to verify that NSPs are authentic and unmodified? I would prefer one that runs on a Linux terminal.
