  • Randomly stuck at "Reboot: Power Down"

  • Already used these drivers on previous installation, was 525 iirc (Linux Mint), but also went from 530 to 535 on Arch and it persisted. Thing is problem started the exact day I also flashed BIOS firmware so it's likely that it could come from there, but trying lts kernel now

  • It was from a GitHub Gist but idk which exactly it was, there are multiple. Keep in mind some files need to have copy-on-write deactivated (swapfile, VirtualBox disk images). The Arch Wiki mentions when copy-on-write should be turned off for a file

  • What do you mean with "birds part"? Learned from YouTube Videos, Arch Wiki, and experimenting on bare metal and in Virtualbox. Hardest part for me when installing Arch 1st time was partitioning and bootloaders

  • You might install an older kernel version from /var/cache/pacman/pkg and then regenerate the initramfs. If not using NVIDIA, it's very easy to have multiple kernels installed (e. g. linux, linux-lts) to have another option if one kernel causes trouble.

    I'd generally recommend having the lts or mainline kernel additionally if you use custom kernels, like zen or self compiled

  • In the Gentoo wiki it is also mentioned that "While it is true that Btrfs is still considered experimental and is growing in stability, the time when Btrfs will become the default filesystem for Linux systems is getting closer.". I don't know how many distros out there use Btrfs by default (never distrohopped), but it seems to become much more widely adopted than zfs.

  • I wrote this more or less for fun; it is slightly more extensive than the installation guide geared for a more advanced setup. The wiki is mentioned in the article as well and is encouraged to be used too

  • The Bootloader itself cannot be encrypted afaik, but the Kernel and initrd can reside on a LUKS Volume (GRUB_USE_CRYPTODISK). But, in order to prevent having to input your passphrase twice, you need to use a keyfile, and I have no experience with that, so I have gone another route. I don't think that a kernel and initrd necessarily need to be encrypted

  • Problem with new GRUB version? (grub-2:2.06.r591.g6425c12cd-1-x86_64)

    Jump

  • Do you have GRUB installed into the ESPs fallback path? (esp/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI) I haven't tried grub-install --removable yet, but maybe stuff got confused.

  • Problem with new GRUB version? (grub-2:2.06.r591.g6425c12cd-1-x86_64)

    Jump

  • Had the problem only on one machine. Do you have, by chance, a MSI motherboard? Can't myself think of other causes and having the kernel and initrd on btrfs instead of ext4 can't be the problem?

  • Its been one day without Reddit

    Jump

  • Element is a client for Matrix, a decentralized chat protocol featuring end-to-end-encryption. Lemmy seems to support DMs over the Matrix Chat protocol. Matrix is federated, so user1@matrix.org can talk to user2@matrixinstance.space.

    Some fediverse apps can work together seamlessly, some can't, and support seems to be growing over time. E. g. Mastodon users can comment on PeerTube, but Lemmy users can't (not that I know of), but it's not impossible that will change in the future. But, kbin for example integrates seamlessly into Lemmy.

  • Lemmy also has an API that clients can get information/content from. The Web frontend (lemmy.world) is one of them. Apps like wefwef and Jerboa also ask the Lemmy API for content and display it in their own way.

  • You can also try installing the PWA (if your browser supports it). On https://sh.itjust.works, Somewhere on the browsers web page options, there should be something along "Install" or "Add to home screen". PWA is basically the website but without browser controls, so it feels more native.

  • Good to see Lemmy grow, but I hope that the decentralization will work out so that the large influx of new users will spread out as evenly as possible. General purpose instances help balancing the load, and last time I checked join-lemmy.org there have been several general purpose instances, which seems promising.

  • [Done] New try at upgrading to 0.18.1 July 1st 20:00 CET

  • Just looked. First 1/2 loads were slow but after that it's lighting fast! I think by not everyone establishing a Websocket connection and just loading once performance should increase a tad bit.

    What happens if the AT Protocol will get large adoption? Will it be a good or a bad thing? Will it lead to more fragmentation? Will it be compatible with ActivityPub?

  • Problems with Arch's mirror

    Jump

  • Try pacman -Syu or just yay, if it doesn't work after that get new mirrors from here: https://archlinux.org/mirrorlist/, and paste them into /var/pacman.d/mirrorlist. Comment out/in mirrors as needed. If you did the latter, do a full system upgrade (yay) again just in case

  • Yeah flatpak packages bring their own runtime packages so they're more independent of the underlying system. I installed the steam flatpak now and it works just fine

  • When I upgraded lib32-nvidia-utils was already at 535, and the problem itself is still there for me. The probable cause is libcef invalid opcodes (dmesg)
