Isle of Man TT Starts Today! (www.iomttraces.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://feddit.uk/post/29909330

First untimed practice runs this morning starting shortly. I'm watching it on the TT live streaming service. Weather is a little unsettled, but hopefully they can get a decent couple of weeks. Can't wait.

It’s like they don’t understand their demographic.

I wish fans at every race would sneak in "Fuck MBS" banners and hold them up to the cameras. Perhaps some photoshopped posters would do as well....

This is so stupid 30k is a considerable sum of money. It feels like this was made with just F1 drivers in mind.

Intentionally, as their fanbase thinks development is communist propoganda

Wires:

  • Ethernet ~~over~~ preferred over WiFi for non portable desktops
  • Audio gear : wired will sound better. Bluetooth headphones have batteries that almost certainly aren't repairable.
  • Peripherals, in the sane vein. I just don't get having to charge a keyboard or mouse that sits on my desk all day.

Niche Distro Users: Why? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] nerdschleife@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not sure if niche, but I use Arco Linux instead of the alternatives like Endeavour,, Manjaro, or plain arch.

Why? Its easier to setup than straight Arch. Manjaro was all over the place when I tried it a few years back. Arco, right from the ISO stage, let's you configure exactly what you want, with a handy guide on their website.

But the thing that keeps me loyal is the excellent community. The maintainer himself responds to most of your queries on telegram / discord (not FOSS reeee) and he's very active on YouTube as well with no nonsense guides and walkthroughs. Shoutout Eric Dubois

Newish user migrating to Linux (lemm.ee)

I have been using Arch Linux with i3wm for around 5 years for work, on my ThinkPad. I am fairly comfortable with pacman and setting up a distro. I have previously tried Mint, Manjaro, KDE Neon, Elementary, and MX Linux, all for the same use case (Work: where I need a browser, Slack, and a MongoDB GUI).

However, I have been using Windows on my desktop that I use for gaming and the Adobe suite (photoshop and illustrator mainly). With the increasing enshittification of Win11, I want to migrate full time to a Linux system on desktop as well. I prefer a more stable experience on this machine so I chose Pop OS (other suggestions are welcome. I like Plasma). I need some help getting started (I did some preliminary trials on a VM where I was able to run a small game off GOG, but the part I need help with needs some trickery wrt different disks).

PC specs:

  • Ryzen 3 3300X
  • 16 GB DDR4
  • 1 NVMe boot drive, 1 SATA SSD for games, 1 HDD
  • RX 570 8 GB

My copies of Photoshop and some of my games are pirated. I'm planning to run a Tiny10 VM for the Adobe stuff but the games will need to run on bare metal linux, off the NTFS formatted game drive. Edit : Most importantly, Content Manager and mods for Assetto Corsa need to work (not pirated), with my Thrustmaster T128

I would be grateful for a guide for this.

FOSS launcher options? (lemm.ee)
 

I really like the simple, stock - ish layout on my home screen, which rules out a few popular suggestions like Niagara.

  • I liked Lawnchair, but development is dead. Even the new alpha hasn't been updated in a year or more, and is missing features.
  • Neo Launcher perhaps came close to being the most ideal, but it is buggy as hell and also hasn't been updated in a year
  • Nova is what I'm using now, but I hate that it does not remember the drawer groups for each app once they're reinstalled. I work as an app tester and having to sort work apps manually every time drives me up the wall

Does anyone here have any suggestions?

KDE Connect - connection across routers (lemm.ee)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by nerdschleife@lemm.ee to c/kde@lemmy.kde.social

I have two routers in my network, one master router and another supplementary one that extends the main one using a LAN cable.

My desktop and laptop are always connected to the main router, but my phone sometimes connects to the other, due to me moving about the house. I keep having to manually connect back to the main router when I need to use KDE connect. I don't want to 'Forget' the second router as it is the only one that covers certain parts of my house, such as the kitchen.

Is there a way around this? I had earlier connected the second router to the main one without a cable (wireless extender) and KDE Connect worked well in that config. I'm sure I'll need to provide some more info about my router setups, but I'm not sure what is needed, I can give more context in response to queries.

How exactly do I use filters? (lemm.ee)
 

I want to filter out hexbear, lemmygrad, and bot-heavy instances like lemmit.online and zerobytes.monster. I have added these in filters under "Exclude domains" but I still see them in All feed. Anyone managed to get this working?
