Don’t worry about vainfo. That should only matter if you use VA-API as the interface for hardware encoding your video. For Nvidia GPUs you would use NVENC instead.
What does your sunshine config look like? Do you have the debug logs for it?
Firefox/Mozilla as an example is a bit of a stretch, given the fact that Mozilla Browser/Firefox is originally based on the open-sourced version of Netscape Navigator
Inner join and outer join were right there
Sorry, there are no PPAs that have all codecs compiled in? Is it illegal to distribute or something?
Can’t you just install ffmpeg from a PPA rather than compile it yourself?
No, it’s one person who is so unironically salty that they post memes about how much they hate Linux several times a day.
Am I right to assume you’ve got a laptop? Otherwise 70C is a terrible temp to hit at idle
Not sure this qualifies as insane. Seems more like a self-defense maneuver to me. People have harassed and stalked this man to an absurd degree over features they wanted and bugs that bothered them that in some cases only existed in forks like Swanstation.
This is on top of this guy working a full time job. He can do what he wants and give away free code to the world on whatever terms he sees fit.
Basically, he got too famous and entitled assholes started treating him like a public slave.
It sucks and I’m sad to see him turn the project away from a true FOSS license, but I’d rather he contribute public code than not.
There are powered extensions, so one of those might work, but a hub is certainly a comparable price and a more compact solution
Both Mint and Pop are based on Ubuntu and neither one ships with snap. Both use Flatpak and native packages instead. Mint also has LMDE, which is based on Debian, if you want Debian-but-more-beginner-friendly
Happy to help! I love uncommon words and love to see them used correctly
Vis a vis is used in an uncommon way here. It typically means “in relation to”, “compared with” or “regarding”
“The poodle needs more grooming vis a vis most other breeds of dog”
“The poodle needs more grooming compared to most other breeds of dog”
The use of erudite is slightly wrong. It’s an adjective meaning knowledgeable, but you used it like a noun.
“Steve is really erudite”
“Steve is really well-read”
There’s a series of novels kinda based around that idea. Magic 2.0 is the name of the series. Basically various hackers from different time periods discover a file that controls the whole universe and learn how to edit it with code/macros and become wizards because of it
The Hyprland devs (or one of them, I don’t exactly know who) is toxic and known for it. Is that person this guy?
Yes, it’s this guy.
TaskGroup in Python is great
Nah, XP was peak. The last time the backwards compatibility worked with any sort of consistency
NVME SSDs vs HDDs, perhaps?
I run LMDE on my N100 mini-pc that I use as a server. It was super easy to setup
Deleted, apparently
