It’s where the users are.

Bazzite was such a pain to use, I get the concept and it sounds nice, but in practice just a super simple thing like needing say the gdu tool in my CLI was a hassle, plus it had warnings that I shouldn’t install things or I might break the supposedly stable immutable system (???)

I mean I would hope so, but even if not losing a password manager database sucks regardless if you used passkeys or not.

I think using Firefox or a fork, and just degoogled Chromium if you need WebUSB is a better idea.

So far I’ve never come across a site that doesn’t work in Firefox, a rare few need the chrome mask addon enabled, but it’s been awhile since I’ve had that happen.

Hm, so similar to websites blocking user agents now.

As far as I know using a password manager such as KeePassXC or Bitwarden solves all of these problems?

Probably not a viable game in that case, unless the dev makes people link their own API keys.

4.2x more people though, not much point in comparing only 1 figure like that without more context.

I can understand a lightweight IoT network to monitor temperatures and get alarms automatically. But why on earth would it allow controlling the fridge remotely?

Timer on my phone also does that!

It looks like a very simple game graphically, so having say 2GB VRAM left over for a small model would probably be viable?

It’s especially frustrating because I don’t think I’ve seen a single app store on a distro prominently show when the last update was for a flatpak app. Even flatpaks own website requires scrolling all the way down to the bottom of an app to see that info.

Plus the app store interfaces/apps are terribly slow and bloated, gnome software will sit in the background doing nothing useful and consume 700MB+ of RAM, searching for an app takes forever, and it will lock up sometimes while installing so you can’t continue browsing/searching for more apps. I’ve tried other stores and they all share the same issues for the most part.

Overall the whole situation is just pretty bad and frustrating. I use the terminal for flatpak updates and such, but it’s not any good for finding new apps.

Given that people playing this have GPUs, why not run the AI model locally? I can’t imagine it needs to be a very large model.

That’s fair, shutdown service + backup everything is certainly more guaranteed to work properly.

With Immich I’m not too worried about the DB potentially being off since it can rescan the filesystem, but I also backup at 3am when nothing is happening on Immich because I’m asleep!

If you have someone far enough away, with fast/reliable internet, and a safe spot to put it.

Immich uses user/YYYY/MM folders on my setup, and I exclude any thumbnail directories from the backup too. So not many dirs/files to check for the backup software and it’s very quick.

You don’t need to shut it down, pg_dump works fine while it’s like if you want to make sure it’s a good database backup. The files side of things are fine either way.

I have a storage box with hostbrr for my ~800GB of files. They have deals sometimes with 4TB boxes for like $9 a month or so. Hetzner storage boxes are also sometimes on sale.

I’m not a fan on the channel either generally, but as I remember they didn’t do anything unusual? Just installed some things and the distro broke itself.

If someone can break it by just doing average things a user would do, that’s not really the users fault.

I run Immich on a cheap dell desktop I got off ebay (7th gen i5 CPU in it), it has 2 HDDs in a mirror and sends encrypted backups to online storage at Backblaze using Restic.

I did some searching and it sounds like it just wakes up slightly faster, but even in deep sleep it’s still very fast.
