A month with LFS (Linux From Scrath) + musl + eudev + libressl + qi package builder helper. What a great experience. in c/[email protected]

You will go back to your "usual" linux setup when you realize that most packages you set up with LFS are now broken and you'll need to redo the whole process again.

Could I theoretically keep gaming on windows 10, while doing any other work (banking etc) on linux? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Absolutely yes. You'd be better buying a dedicated PC for Linux tho.

t. Got a Orange pi 5 MAX with Linux installed. It's tricky to set up, but worths a lot in the end (low power usage while providing a decent performance -- can be used as a "mini server" to host your own personal file server or anything else you'd like while providing a smooth experience for anything your job may require from it.)

"Oh, but it's a technical detail!" does not make what I said a false argument -- you are extrapolating for the sake of "being right".

...which these "customized kernels" can (also) be applied to any other distro.

All distros are the same -- none packs a exclusive feature that makes gaming "better". Other than having predefined changes/packages that are more suitable for gaming.

"tm". Todo manager on the CLI for potatoes. (lemmy.world)
 

(The date + clock and the menu can be hidden via a toggle for extra flexibility and space. They are in the screenshot just to show em off.)

Manage your to-do tasks in a compact, slick and straightforward manner.

Includes a built-in clock for an extra flex.

Click here to grab the code and compile it with "gcc tm.c -o tm -static -O2". And then type "sudo mv tm /usr/local/bin/." to send the binary into the user binary directory. To run it, simply type "tm".

This code, alongside all my codes are under the "Do Whatever You Want" license. Modify this, sell it using a different name, whatever you want -- I don't care.

I don't mind a little "change" every now and then, but still -- "Sway" on my "potatoes" (Orange pi zero 3 and Orange pi 5 max) and "Hyprland" on my x86_64 PC.

"YTS" -- search youtube inside the CLI -and- watch videos in mpv! 100% portable and minimal. (lemmy.world)
 

Imagine a world where you could browse -and- watch youtube without using a graphical software or a web browser.

Guess what? Now you can.

With this nifty, minimal and 100% portable piece of software, you can now watch the best youtube has to offer without compromising your potato or waiting several minutes (!) for a video to appear on your screen.

The only caveat is that you need to install mpv.

And nothing else.

The code, alongside instructions on how to compile it can be found by clicking here.

What's the best way to create dedicated devices with Linux? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Dietpi user here. I've got a orange pi zero 3 w/ 1GiB of ram serving me nextdns under docker + playing a live stream 24/7 (via yt-dlp/ffplay) and it does its job just nicely.

How to have a boring and low-maintenance system? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nice cherry picking/moving the goalpost, but that is not how refuting works. A PC at NASA has a much higher "threat level" than my Orange pi zero 3, just chilling on the background. Which means, a potential "security hole" may prove harmful for these pcs... but it'll definitely not hurt me in the slightest.

And before you parrot with other links and/or excuses... yes, I'm not negating their existence. I'm just saying they are there... but, well... "who cares"? If anything, its much faster to set up my distro back up "just like never happened before" than performing any "maintenance" whatsoever. Again, "Common sense antivirus" reigns supreme here -- know what you are doing, and none of these things will matter.

"Procbal" -- dynamic process resource manager. in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Something in the line of https://gitlab.com/ananicy-cpp/ananicy-cpp ?

Well, procbal does not need any configuration whatsoever -- just run it with the command you want, and its working. Just like that. Plus, dynamic adjustment trumps static rules—procbal reacts live to CPU/memory spikes while ananicy does not. Also, a proper, dynamic nice adjustment means more free resources for other commands running on the background. Which can also mean "free" performance depending of how "potato" is your pc.

Dynamically prioritizes CPU or memory access out of a given command.

Can be run as a non-root user.

Instructions on how to compile and usage are provided inside the code right here.

-EDIT- Just improved the code with improved nice sorting, detection and configuration.

All you have to do is to install "Common sense antivirus", pretty much.

Comparing a PC maintenance to leaving the keys outside the front door is too dramatic, to not say the least...

...unless you work at NASA and/or your PC is holding something too valuable/sensitive/high-priority for others to want to hack it "that badly" -- which I (highly) doubt it.

"Work!". A "genact-esque" nonsense generator. [CLI command] (lemmy.world)

From a dvd CLI screensaver to a btop replacement.

To compile (pretty much anything available in the provided link), just do

gcc filename.c -o whateveryouwant -static

Brave crashes followed by a /usr/bin/brave-browser: line 39: 16656 Trace/breakpoint trap "$HERE/brave" "$@" error.. (lemmy.world)
 

Title. This error/crash happens with certain web pages only whilst everything else works as intended. Any ideas of what is going on? Running on sway, on a Orange pi 5 max with 16 GiB of ram. Dietpi. Thanks in advance. And yes, Firefox runs just fine without any crashes whatsoever.
