@clark I don’t know the Slim, but I wrote about Linux on my Yoga here: https://rhys.wtf/posts/sway-and-arch-with-yoga
Might be useful.
@flashgnash Yep, just once to transfer the terminfo files and resolve this.
The SSH kitten is pretty useful though. If you use it in combination with kitty’s --single-instance mode, you can start new kitty windows in the same SSH session without logging in again using its shared connection feature. Hugely convenient for how I work at least.
@flashgnash @Laser Connecting once with its ssh kitten resolves this by uploading appropriate terminfo files to the user’s directory.
@rutrum @jntesteves I have that controller. It’s the best controller I’ve used — I greatly prefer it to my Series X controller.
The back paddle buttons don’t work for me with SteamInput in XInput mode though. Reading around, I think that’s independent of Linux and a limitation of the firmware on them though.
@unhinge I run a simple 48TiB zpool, and I found it easier to set up than many suggest and trivial to work with. I don’t do anything funky with it though, outside of some playing with snapshots and send/receive when I first built it.
I think I recall reading about some nuance around using LUKS vs ZFS’s own encryption back then. Might be worth having a read around comparing them for your use case.
@ShaunaTheDead @CowsLookLikeMaps The ProtonVPN app is native. It’s basically a frontend to NetworkManager.
@jordanlund @fl42v I *think* this one could be recoverable if they had a terminal still active by using the dynamic loader to call chmod — or by booting from a liveCD and chmodding from there.
That’d likely get you to a ‘working’ state quickly, but it’d take forever to get back to a ‘sane’ state with correct permissions on everything.
@fl42v I have thousands from my early days, but my only recent-ish one was pretty funny.
On an Arch install that hadn’t been updated for a while, in a rush, had an app that needed OpenSSL 3. Instead of updating the whole system, I just updated the openssl package.
*Everything* broke immediately. Turns out a lot of stuff depends on openssl. Who knew?
To fix, booted to the arch installer, chrooted into my env, and reverted to the previous version of the package — then updated properly.
@BlackRoseAmongThorns @daisyKutter Swap is a place on disk that gets used as a slow, temporary place to put memory when your RAM is full. Windows uses a swap file on an existing partition, while Linux generally uses a dedicated partition instead (although you can use a swap file if you really want to).
Appropriate sizes for the swap partition are hotly debated. Twice the size of your RAM if you have a small amount, or the same size as your RAM if you have lots is a good approximation.
