Yep, didnt make a single sensible point. Just anecdotes and irrelevant examples. I'm bad at ignoring an argument so I went and blocked lol

That's not what a false equivalency is, but ok.

FOSS has this reputation among most people.

Most people don't have any clue what FOSS is. They just want software, and if its free and works, they'll like it.

I am genuinely curious why you think people pay money for worse software though...

I provided two reasons in my post. Superior marketing and professional support.

That was my entire point. The person I was originally replying to seemed to suggest exactly that.

Ok, but thats not what you went on to say.

You are not arguing in good faith, I don't care to continue going in circles.

How is that false equivalency? Comparing fdroid to the play store is about as close as you can get.

Like I said, there is bad FOSS software, but that doesnt make it generally false. People pay for software that doesnt have a good free alternative, they pay for support, and often they will pay to use software that has good marketing because they are simply unaware of the alternatives.

I'm not saying all FOSS software is great, but lots of software does have great FOSS options, for example, Firefox, Blender, and Bevy. Obviously there are also examples of proprietary software without a great alternative, like Photoshop. I like FOSS, but I don't avoid proprietary solutions that do a better job. Believe it or not, I still end up using mostly FOSS software.

You're not backing your points up with any actual reasoning or examples while also being condescending about it.

Works fine for me, I've used it with both Nvidia and AMD.

The fuck? There is nothing sexual about the character at all. Calling it pedophilic says a whole lot more about you than the software.

[–] priapus 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (18 children)

You can also go on the play store and find a huge list of proprietary apps that haven't been updated.

You need some actual stats to back up this point. Plenty of proprietary software is unsuccessful because it fails to profit, so its shut down. At least FOSS software will continue as long as someone finds it useful enough to keep it going. Plus the obvious, that if you like a piece of software you can maintain it yourself.

Also saying that FOSS software is "notoriously low quality" is silly. There's tons of great and important FOSS software and plenty of shit FOSS software, just like proprietary software. Your comments just ignore how much proprietary shovelware exists.

What issue are you having? When you go to patch an app Revanced should show you a suggested version. If you tap the suggestion it'll search it for you and you can download it from an apk site. When you download it make sure you get a standard apk, not a bundle.

Or they're just adding improvements to the software they heavily rely on.

I don't trust or like Microsoft, but the likelihood of there being malicious intentions in this is incredibly low. Just imagine the fallout if Microsoft tried to sabotage the kernel.

[–] priapus 2 points 1 week ago

I'm a native speaker and it sounds off to me too. I would definitely go with "black republican woman".

Genuinely what negative ramifications could come of uutils being MIT licensed? The kernel license isn't going to change and I really don't see how companies can abuse uutils for a profit.

[–] priapus 3 points 1 week ago

The Linux kernel still is and will always be GPL. It really doesnt matter if the coreutils aren't.

I am upgrading my drives and have created a new pool. The original pool had a drive fail, but it has since been replaced. Each drive CKSUM value is at 4.04k and pool had two files with permanent errors. I deleted those, but it now shows this:

errors: Permanent errors have been detected in the following files:

        zfsa:<0x8220>
        zfsa:<0x8056>

When I try to create a snapshot and send it to the new pool. After a few terabytes, it fails with this error warning: cannot send 'zfsa@zpool_transfer': insufficient replicas.

CKSUM was always at zero until the first drive failed. The data is not important and I don't care about whatever is corrupt, I just want to get the data to the new pool.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I have scrubbed the pool many times.

Another edit: I've also tried using zpool clear as well. Despite the high checksum errors I've had no issues outside the two now deleted files. The pool is used for a media server which has been working perfectly.

After I scrub the checksum errors go to zero, but they start climbing when I run the send/receive.

Edit:

Finally remembered to come edit this post with the solution I got from the Practical ZFS forums. Thanks to Jim Salter over there for the solution!

You can bypass the checks by settings a ZFS module parameter. A way to do this temporarily is with echo 1 > /sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_send_corrupt_data, which will last until you reboot. After doing this, sending the data, and a scrub, everything was fine!

I was looking to upgrade my storage and was recommended to go with used SAS drives and an LSI SAS controller. I purchased an LSI 9211-8i HBA, 8TB Seagate Exos drives, and these cables. The drives are not spinning up at all when connected to the power supply. Are these cables not the right choice for this?

Edit: I have confirmed that a regular SATA drive works if connected with an SFF-8087 to Sata cable. Either I've somehow received 10 dead drives or I'm not powering them right.

Edit 2: I'm guessing its related to this: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/84038-so-your-new-sas-or-sata-drive-wont-start-spin-up/

What an irritating issue.

So my options seem to be:

  • Tape mod the SATA power adapter or drives to prevent pin 3 from disabling the drive - cheap but tedious
  • Use a molex adapter to power the drives - less cheap, I'd need new PSU and SAS cables
  • Upgrade my PSU to one that supports SATA 3.3 - I'll probably do this. I just bought a new PSU for the purpose of powering these drives, so I can still return it.

I currently have a pretty simple media server. It runs on a desktop made of old parts and has 4 6 TB drives in a raidz1 array. It is used by a lot of friends who add a lot of media, so its been nearly at capacity for a while. The desktop has no more open SATA ports or drive enclosures, so I'm not sure what the best option for adding more drives is.

I know the most obvious answer is buying NAS, but I think it might be a little complex for what I need, because no other devices need any access to this storage. I was considering purchasing a DAS, as it seems like a simple option, but I've seen many people say its not worth purchasing a DAS over a NAS. Any opinions would be appreciated.

Edit: Thanks for the suggestions! I'm likely going to go with a new case for some extra drive bays and a PCI-E SAS controller, this seems like the best option for the simplicity and price!

On new Proton Experimental, most mods can now just be extracted/copied next to the game .exe, without requiring any extra steps like setting WINEDLLOVERRIDES. This change will also be in future stable Proton releases.

Fairly recently, I saw an app that served the same purpose as Barrier or Input-leap, allowing you use one computer to control the keyboard and cursor of multiple. I'm fairly certain it was designed with GTK 4, or maybe 3, and it had Wayland support. I've had no luck getting input-leap working well on my devices, so if anyone knows what app this was (or any other options) I would really appreciate it.

Update: Despite searching for 15 minutes before posting, I found it seconds later, thanks to DDGs reddit bang. It is lan-mouse. Will leave this up in case this software comes in handy for others.

Sharing this video because this game is seriously an underrated gem, I can't recommend it enough. Love supporting an indie dev with such a unique concept.

Do any of you have any software you can recommend for removing unwanted audio tracks and subtitles? Some of my shows and movies have multiple, and the Roku app does not follow the users set default language, leading to it playing the wrong track when autoplaying.

I've tried unmanic, but its unfortunately too heavy for my server, just slows everything to a crawl.

I'm not the creator of this video, but I wanted to share it because Warfork is an incredibly fun game and more people should be playing it. It's not super populated, but you can usually find a good match. Highly recommend trying it if you enjoy (or want to try) arena shooters!

Got this from a post on the alien site. From previous discussion on Lemmy it sounded like Linux users had good things to say about this game but were discouraged about the upcoming FaceIt implementation such that they wouldn't be able to join anticheat enabled matches. Those users and Linux gamers on the fence would probably appreciate hearing this news.

With this announcement on the dev team's community Discord, it appears Linux users will NOT lose access to matches with anticheat.
