I mean, it’s bits of configuration all over the place that I’ve built up over time. It isn’t a single script on one machine, and you’d need to change a lot of things if you weren’t running Slackware. I can’t really copy and paste it all.

Network namespaces and policy based routing are black magic, IMO.

I’ve got a VPN set up on my router and separate VLANs set up for ordinary traffic and VPN traffic. A device doesn’t need to support VPNs at all, I just connect it to the VPN VLAN and all its traffic goes over the VPN whether it likes it or not. I’ve got separate wifi SSIDs for each VLAN.

My desktop is connected to both VLANs with a network namespace set up for the VPN VLAN, so sudo vpn rtorrent runs rtorrent in the namespace that’s connected to the VPN VLAN.

My setup is nice, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who doesn’t want to learn quite a bit about networking.

Yeah, but because pricing jumped like someone set a firecracker off under it’s chair people are actually still using vintage GPUs.

The devs have been working hard to hammer out those troublesome edge cases. There’s a lot less of them than there was a year or two ago.

IIRC Nvidia needs explicit sync support to work reliably. It’s fairly new and might not have landed in some distros, especially the stable releases.

IPv6 has privacy addresses, though. Stuff on my network generates a new random address every day and uses that address for outgoing connections, so you can’t really track individual devices inside my network.

IPv6 has a policy of throwing more address space at stuff to make routing simpler, though.

IPv4 will individually route tiny slices of address space all over the world, IPv6 just assigns a massive chunk of space in the first place and calls it a day.

Well, for starters, unless you’re running a quite old card you should be using amdgpu, not radeon. You seem to have them both loaded.

Post a dmesg?

My point is that gaming could abandon “A/B” in favor of something more like an actual spectrum of Height, Weight, and Gender Presentation instead of just awkwardly renaming the binary? I wouldn’t get so up in arms about gender replacing body type.

Okay, but an in-depth character creation system that lets you pick and adjust individual features is a lot more work than just manually creating two models and asking the player to pick one. Adding that means something else gets cut.

Putting in half a dozen body types and a boob slider shouldn’t be a ton of work, but devs who only offer two player models to choose from in the first place probably aren’t putting that much thought into character creation.

Reports are mixed.

If you want to post logs, I’ll have a look to see if I see any obvious problems: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Proton-FAQ#how-to-enable-proton-logs

I think you only get the VRR setting if the screen does support VRR. No point asking the user if the system can’t do it.

ERROR: […/src/amd/vulkan/radv_physical_device.c:1877] Code 0 : Device ‘/dev/dri/renderD128’ is not using the AMDGPU kernel driver

This is the smoking gun, btw.

I see you’ve got it working, so I’ll just add a bit of explanation.

AMD GPUs used to use a driver called radeon. It was replaced with the current amdgpu driver. For a while, you had devices that were supported by both drivers and you could choose between the stable radeon driver that was missing features like Vulkan and HDMI audio or the brand new amdgpu driver that had the newest features but was unstable and not well tested.

The kernel has a policy of not unnecessarily breaking things with kernel changes so even though amdgpu has been well tested in the years since, devices from that era still default to the radeon driver and need to be forced onto the amdgpu driver.

Or an email client where you double click the link text to select it and press copy, and somehow this puts the link plus a trailing space in the clipboard to be pasted into a browser.

So after it’s done you can adjust it’s cooking time, but instead of a cook time knob that you turn they try to pretend it’s AI?

Slackware just does as it’s told and gets out of the way.

I meant to do this when I built my old system back in 2018, but I found the handful of games I regularly play worked okay on Linux so I never got around to it, and Linux game compatibility has improved leaps and bounds from there.

If it’s a Steam game, for most of them these days you only have to tick a box in Steam’s settings to tell it to use Proton for all games and the game will just work when you click play.

You might give it a try. Or don’t, I’m not your mother.

I don’t even have the software for my mouse installed. I think she’s massively overestimating the value of mouse software updates.

She’s just trying to figure out how to make renting cheap peripherals make sense so that you can keep paying Logitech forever.

I’d argue that power is more the issue. All that processor time the antivirus spends scanning and rescanning is a chunk of battery gone.

Sure, but you couldn’t analyse an individual’s purchasing behaviour over time and show just that person ads for baby clothes because you think they got pregnant.

We didn’t used to have tracking, you know? You used to just put up a billboard or put an ad in the newspaper and you just hoped it’d lead to new customers.

It’s a bit weird that the advertising people implemented fine gained tracking without asking anyone and now we’re just expected to pretend there’s no other way for advertising to work.
