Kinda weird when both Unreal Engine and EAC, both owned by Epic, actually already have Linux/Proton support, yet games that exclusive to Epic Store won't support Linux, or drop Linux support once they become Epic Store exclusives.

Are you living in a UTC -6.5 Timezone?

I'm actually still evaluating it. It can returns results normally buried on google, and you can block or prioritize sites permanently on your search settings. So far it's pretty good, but it's still too early for me to decide if it's actually worth the money, though I have signed up for unlimited plan so I can review it further. Google and Bing have this perverse incentive where making their search a more ineffective would result in large increase in revenue because you'll search more and thus see more ads. The premise of paid search engine that don't have any incentive to make you do more searches seems appealing to me. In fact, Kagi has huge incentive to make their users search as little as possible (and thus must deliver good search result) in order to be profitable because they said it them cost 1.5 cent per search.

There is a trial account with no credit card required that can be used for 200 searches.

If you have multiple users and want things such as quota management, groups, mounting external storage providers, or perhaps some advanced features such as sso (either as a client or server), then keeping nextcloud would make sense.

If you use Kagi, you can add this "lens" to limit search to these 10 largest Lemmy instances: https://kagi.com/lenses/qB39IMQCFQRpBL8fPKGmQ1wMw9nWGHNc

Instances: lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, kbin.social, lemm.ee, programming.dev, sh.itjust.works, lemmy.ca, beehaw.org, lemmy.dbzer0.com, lemmy.blahaj.zone . I'd add more, but the limit is 10. You can edit the instances list when you save the lens.

Kid even write down the tracking parameters!

If you're using an AMD GPU, you can try using gamescope as your desktop session.

I'm pretty sure you can use aptx codecs using a Bluetooth 4.0 dongle and pipewire/bluez5. Just be aware when using them for gaming, if the game is cpu-bound and starved the system out of CPU time, the bluetooth audio might start to stutter. A Bluetooth audio dongle never stutter because they have their own independent Bluetooth stack, but they're about 10x more expensive than a Bluetooth 4.0 dongle (~$50) and can only be used for audio only.

No but it's way better than the standard SBC codex. The latency is supposed to be ~32ms: https://soundsightheadphones.com/guides/bluetooth-5-0-codecs-and-other-bluetooth-formats/

Actually I haven't been able to get Bluetooth 5 dongles to work on Linux. I only have success with Bluetooth 4 dongles.

What are you going to use the Bluetooth dongle for? Connecting Bluetooth peripherals, or headphones? If it's exclusively for Bluetooth headphones, using a Bluetooth audio dongle (which is detected as a USB audio device in Linux) works much better than using the Bluetooth 4.0 usb dongle for audio purpose because you can use low latency aptx codex and Bluetooth 5 without messing with random drivers from some github repos

I like how the site getting darker and darker as you tick more checkboxes.

That's a funny looking stray cat.

For the wasps.

Just some tips when using nextcloud official docker container. Do not use the 'latest' tag. Instead, use the version tag (e.g. "27-apache"). This is to prevent breaking your install when you accidentally upgrading between major versions that way too far apart (say, v23 to v27).

When upgrading nextcloud containers, always upgrade one major version at a time. For example, if you're currently in v25 and want to upgrade to v27, upgrade to v26 first before upgrading to v27. Not sure if nextcloud already added some safeguard for this, but this issue often bites new nextcloud selfhosters in the past.

We're still taking about Korean ISP charging streaming company for bandwidth, right? If the streaming service setup some TURN servers to help people behind cgnat, then they'll going to get charged by the ISP because the traffic originate from TURN servers operated by the streaming service instead of peer-to-peer traffics among users. These ISPs rejected Netflix offers to put their caching servers inside their network afterall, so the TURN servers will have to be located outside their network and thus subject to the bandwidth charge.

I'm behind cgnat myself and I can download but can't seed. If everyone is behibd cgnat the swarm would be dead fast. In Korea, there are only 3 ISPs and if they collude to use cgnat with client isolation, they can kill these P2P scheme used by streaming site and boost their profit sharing revenue.

Actually if you look closer, there was another tiny bot rushing the flame bot at the start but it got destroyed right away, so it was 3 vs 1.

So, if the ISP eventually deployed cgnat and broke P2P, they'll going to be screwed, right?

Maybe try Marker, which uses AI stuff as part of their OCR process.

Stirling also support OCR using OCRmyPDF.

You can also use GPT4-V (e.g. via this library) to perform the OCR. It'll cost money though.

As its name suggests, LogoFAIL involves logos, specifically those of the hardware seller that are displayed on the device screen early in the boot process, while the UEFI is still running.

Me using an old PC with BIOS instead of UEFI: 😏
