I’ve been running LM Studio on Bazzite and I had to do nothing to get it working. Just go to the LM Studio website and download the .appimage for Linux. If you open it with Gear Lever it will install like an app from the app store and show up in your launcher with an icon.

From there I have just been able to download models and use them from in the app. In fact I setup a local server to connect to my IDE and have been trying out local models for coding. It’s pretty cool

You should consider looking into fail2ban or Crowdsec.

I recently added Crowdsec to my firewall and it seems to work pretty well. I don’t host any public facing services on my network. But maybe someone else with more experience can chime in about it. I believe both tools are pretty good for stopping bots

I’ve always thought the licensing for Jetbrains IDEs is a pretty fair way of licensing software. If you stop subscribing you still get access to the last version of the software you paid for but you don’t get new versions anymore. And if you stay subscribed you get a loyalty discount after your first and second years. So it provides an incentive to stay subscribed long term but if you do leave you still get access perpetually to the last version you bought

Are they going to go back to calling it Cortana?

This sounds like it could’ve been a story about a featured build on CPU magazine. Maybe some cube shaped open air PC and how it was going to change the future of case design?

As far as things that are going to change everything performance wise maybe 3D caches? I could see there being promotional art of that with a blue cube showing how memory layers are stacked.

I know this was the goal of Nano (XNO) originally. I still love the idea of it but with all the regulations and stuff now I think nano is kinda dead (or at least unpopular) It seems the only crypto used for transactions is Monaro.

I remember years ago hearing about a Minecraft server using it as “premium” currency which I thought was interesting. I think the idea was you could earn real money on their game server.

It’s so cheap now you could probably use it as currency for a game if you really wanted

Edit: not gonna lie I think Nano is a pretty cool name for a decentralized currency. Better than some of the weird coin names out there

Any specific reason you want to run a Lemmy instance? Or just trying something new?

If you could miniaturize them I would totally take a house hippo

Would having a synced Keepass database with a composite key protect against this?

When I made my database I created a composite key file that never goes online. I locally copy it to any device that needs to access the database. The idea was even if the password got compromised you can’t access the database without the key file

I originally did this and ended up having to remake my account on .world. I just couldn’t stand the negativity and constant fighting on .ml. I was able to find a non-ml alternative to every community I was subscribed to. YMMV but it was completely worth it for me

I really want to switch but I need a launcher that lets me swipe on the dock left and right like how I can with home screen pages

I recently got into records but I wouldn’t consider myself an audiophile. I have a AT-SB727 “Sound Burger” and I usually connect it to a SoundCore Mini. The whole setup was under $200 on sale.

The main advantage for me is that it’s somewhat portable. I have 0 wires to mess with, not even a power cord. I’m sure the audio quality isn’t great but I like watching the record spin and listening to albums from start to finish.

I do have a different old record player (Sansui P1000) but it needs to be connected to AC then that has RCA connectors that need to go to a stereo which then has copper wire speakers. It sounds a lot better but also it’s a lot less portable

The sound burger does come with a line level RCA output so maybe it does sound as good when connected to an actual stereo. I want to get an elliptical stylus upgrade in the future which is supposed to help with sound quality

This reminds me of the old cloud to butt extension

So instead of selling on both Sparkfun and Adafruit, having what seems like a monopoly on Teensy style boards, Sparkfun decided it would be smarter to stop selling to Adafruit and force their hand to make an open source competitor

That’s an interesting business decision…

I run rfactor 2 on Linux. Might be an option for a more causal sim racer. It’s funny because I know other racing sims are more popular but my local VR racing sim location mainly runs rfactor 2 as well.

It runs on Linux, not sure if VR works with Linux though. I suspect the Steam frame may change that

When did cemu get shut down? Looking at their GitHub there was a commit 5 hours ago. Still looks pretty active?

Weird. These are really popular with Catholic people in Canada. They are found in Catholic Churches, schools and usually the center of dinner tables during Advent. It’s always an evergreen wreath with 3 purple candles, 1 pink candle and 1 center candle which is unusually white. The wreaths at church get lit at Sunday Mass, one candle for each week of Advent then the center one on Christmas. Generally wreaths at dinner tables are the same but you will light them at Sunday dinner (I can’t remember if they get lit throughout the week as well and you just light the same number of candles as the same week of Advent)

I know people who aren’t religious or no longer are, sometimes still use a wreath without candles as a centerpiece for their dinner table in the winter. It just provides a nice Christmas feel, similar to a door wreath

Work: RustRover on MacOS Personal: RustRover on Bazzite

Mainly language support plugins: Python, .env, mermaid

I’ve found LocalSend really nice for this purpose. If you need to send stuff over your wifi to other devices but not sync it in the background it’s really nice
