Very common mistake. In fact, the name Scrotuclese also appears several times in surviving records of a different culture that lived in the area at the same time, but in reference to a completely different cautionary tale.

That's why it's one step above. The user is given an option to read the PKGBUILD (or a diff with the cached copy if it exists), but beyond that, it's still unverified arbitrary code from an external source (the project's actual source, binaries, or packages from another repository). Packages in the official Arch repos are verified by the downstream packagers. For AUR packages, it's up to the community to moderate itself, and the user to determine whether the package is trustworthy, and I'm willing to bet that not many people do it. I certainly don't vet everything I install.

yay, a utility to access the AUR, where users share build scripts instead of binaries. It's just one step above curl | sudo sh in terms of security.

Recommended, yes, but I've had issues with the pre-compiled modules before, so I switched to nvidia-dkms to make sure the binaries are always freshly baked.

Not the right place to ask. Try the official forums of your distro, or one of the many Linux communities on Lemmy.

Is that HDR? I can tell you right now that HDR is still experimental on all Wayland compositors (Plasma seems to be the farthest along, but still not reliable), and will never be implemented in X11.

How about you sudo apt-get better jokes?

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 63 points 2 days ago (6 children)

pacman -S nvidia-dkms

Hollywood, here I come!

We're all friends, until someone mentions systemd, or Rust, or Wayland. Then the gamemode switches to PVP.

I can't believe you'd say that, R. DlozaO is the best!

Uhhh, yes there is. Other than some limited special cases, a circle with red border and white (yellow in some countries) background is a prohibitory sign. The pictogram shows what's being prohibited.

INTERFACING [Trivial: failed] - The umbrella bounces off the side of the bin with a clang and a clatter. It comes to rest on the cold concrete, in the middle of a puddle of trash juice. It is no more pitiful a sight than before.

Philip Rebohle, DXVK's founding developer, stated in an interview that he started the project "to get one specific game to work". Later, he explained in a forum post that he was a bit of a Nier fanboy, and that it was a relatively simple game to use as a test subject for DXVK.

Rebohle was later contacted and hired by Valve. Wine already had a D3D11 compatibility layer, but it wasn't nearly as far ahead as DXVK at the time. It's fair to say that Linux gaming wouldn't exist in its current form if not for one guy's appreciation for Nier Automata. Rebohle still works at Valve, currently conributing to VKD3D-Proton.

 

re: this article.

The title is a joke. "Free, but you have to make an EGS account" is a bit too rich for me.

 

About half a year ago I bought a used UPS. It didn't have enough output to power my main PC, but it's perfect for my home server and network.

Starting on Christmas eve and continuing even today, my neighbourhood has been getting intermittent brownouts. It's only affecting one phase (house is on a three-phase 240V connection), which happens to be the one powering my network (also all of the light fixtures, stupid Soviet house), and the UPS works beautifully. I didn't lose any of my services even once. Without it, I would probably be reinstalling Proxmox and praying to the RAID gods to restore my hard drives.

"It pays for itself as soon as it is needed" is proven true once again.

It is the polar opposite of the hustle culture, and I despise the hustle culture. Here I can be comfortably adequate and still feel valid.

I haven't done a damn thing today at work. My inbox is empty. The helpdesk is stagnant. Nobody's come into my office with an emergency. I've been watching Star Trek TNG interrupted only by toilet and coffee breaks. I'll wait for the cleaning lady to check the trash cans (they're empty), lock up, and go pick up my dad's gift.

What a perfectly adequate day.
