  • Sounds like a problem with Memmy. Does this link work? https://lemm.ee/c/sfah@hilariouschaos.com

    You should be able to search communities in your app and could have searched "sfah@hilariouschaos.com" too.

    But basically communities on Lemmy are in the form of "name@host". The "name" can be whatever someone wants, and the "host" is the website / Lemmy instance where that community originates from. But because it is federated it's all available everywhere (generally speaking). For example, if you visit https://lemmy.world/c/sfah@hilariouschaos.com it should be the same content just loaded via lemmy.world instead of lemme.ee. However if theoretically someone went and made a "sfah@lemmy.world" community, that would be a completely separate community from the above, hosted on a different Lemmy instance.

  • How good is the Steam Deck really? (Not a gamer)

    Jump

  • I'll just add that another, albeit smaller, category of games that don't work are really new, demanding titles. There's not a lot of them for now, but naturally the deck wasn't the most powerful device to begin with and over time less titles will work well.

    Starfield was pointed out to me as an example of one that can't run on the deck for performance reasons (not that Bethesda is known for their optimization) and BG3 was only barely playable at the lowest settings in the more demanding areas of the game (i.e. Act 3).

    That said, for its price point, and considering most games are using the proton compatibility later, I was actually very impressed with its performance.

  • 600 more active users in the last few days, from 47225 to 47827 in two days

  • Out of curiosity, what content are you looking for? Discovery on Lemmy can be a problem, but sometimes the communities are there and even active, just buried.

    But may I also suggest searching by Top Day/12-hour/6-hour to see the most active posts. Lemmy's scaled algorithm still doesn't get it quite right IMO.

  • The CEO said they were going to add pay-walled subreddits at an earnings call.

    So... Yep.

  • I know for me, at least with gnome, toggling between performance, balanced, and battery saver modes dramatically changes my battery life on Ubuntu, so I have to toggle it manually to not drain my battery life if it's mostly sitting there. I don't know if Mint is the same, but just throwing out the "obvious" for anyone else running Linux on a laptop.

  • The graying open source community needs fresh blood

    Jump

  • Found a blog post that gives a quick overview of how to do git via email in general: https://peter.eisentraut.org/blog/2023/05/09/how-to-submit-a-patch-by-email-2023-edition

    So at least from my understanding you'd make your changes, email the contents of the patch to the maintainer, and then they'd apply it on their side, do code review, email you comments, etc. until it was in an acceptable state.

    There's also the full kernel development wiki that goes into all the specifics: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.16/process/howto.html

    (I never got through the whole thing)

  • The graying open source community needs fresh blood

    Jump

  • I'll also throw out: aging infrastructure, build systems, coding practices, etc.

    I looked into contributing to the kernel - it's already an uphill battle to understand such a large, complex piece of software written almost entirely in C - but then you also need to subscribe to busy mailing lists and contribute code via email, something I've never done at 30 and I'm betting most of the younger generation doesn't even know is possible. I know it "works" but I'm really doubting it's the most efficient way to be doing things in 2024 - there's a reason so many infrastructure tools have been developed over the years.

    The barriers to entry for a lot of projects is way too high, and IMO a lot of existing "grey" maintainers, somewhat understandably, have no interest in changing their processes after so much time. But if you make it too hard to contribute, no one will bother.

  • Valve has a new Steam Chart for the most played Steam Deck games

    Jump

  • I'm surprised by Helldiver's. Has there been some performance patches? I tried playing that on my deck near launch and it really struggled even at minimum settings - I can't imagine how it would run at higher difficulties.

  • So I know that will make it look correct in sync, but I guess what I'm getting at is that the comment is an example that looks right in other clients but NOT in sync.

    Sync should show the list correctly like other clients do.

    Upcoming releases

    Jump

  • I'm hoping the new update will include the new "scaled" sorting option. I think it will really help support smaller communities on Lemmy if more people use it.

  • I love my Deck, but the multi user setup is terrible

    Jump

  • This was my experience as well, though I did notice that many games did not properly isolate game saves from separate steam accounts.

    Tip to any devs that might read this: organize saves based on the steam account logged in, not the user of the PC (always "deck" for the steam deck) and definitely not just a single location among the game's data.

  • Alaska Airlines Ad - SNL

    Jump

  • IIRC Alaska Airlines knew the plane had issues and decided to keep flying it anyway.

    So yes, it's Boeing's fault the plane's door blew off, but Alaska Airlines also deserves blame for continuing to fly a plane that was reporting issues with the door hatch.

  • [SOLVED] TrueNAS scale VMs unable to see/connect to the host and vice versa

    Jump

  • I ran into the same thing. I've always just worked around it, but I believe I did find the solution at one point (can't find the link now).

    But if I am remembering right, I believe you need to manually create a bridge between the two networks - by default it isolates the VMs from TrueNAS itself for security reasons.

    Sorry I can't link the exact fix right now, but hopefully this will help you Google the post I found on the subject.

  • Linux doesn't serve birth time attribute over NFS

    Jump

  • Simple thing, but are you sure you mounted the NFS share as NFSv4? I don't have access to a machine to check right now, but I think it might default to mounting NFSv3, even if both sides support v4.

  • Broke a partition. Is there any way of saving it?

    Jump

  • Your "of" can also just be a regular file if that's easier to work with vs needing to create a new partition for the copy.

    I'll also say you might want to use the block size parameter "bs=" on "dd" to speed things up, especially if you are using fast storage. Using "dd" with "bs=1G" will speed things up tremendously if you have at least >1GB of RAM.

  • Second teacher at Missouri school on leave over OnlyFans side hustle: 'It’s working out ok so far'

    Jump

  • I dunno man, I think that the fact she teaches high school kids specifically, who by now all know about it, means that she has no hope of being an effective teacher at this point. It's a massive distraction, as unfair as that is.

    She had to have known this was a possibility when she decided to start an onlyfans - there's almost nowhere in the country where you won't get fired as a teacher for that, progressive or conservative states alike. Society just isn't there yet.

  • I ran into this exact situation at work - though for me it was more the case that getting approvals for new software / installing new dependencies in our system is a massive pain.

    So I went with Python since it's already installed on basically any Linux system. It was fine - I mean Python is a good language and can certainly handle string processing and data manipulation with relative ease.

    I still think the Python docs are pretty bad, and I wasn't thrilled with the options for calling a subprocess in Python - they all felt kinda clunky, though I was barred from using the newest versions since I had to run an older version of Python.

    But I ultimately got something that worked and it was certainly better executed / shorter than the bash equivalent it was replacing.
