Buy good hardware next time

I don’t recommend GL.inet routers. I have the Marble and it is slower than my ISPs router. It has a thing called network hardware acceleration, and it breaks my home server. Services just stop working well with it. So I keep it turned off. When I reported the issue they said it is working for them and came up with a completely hypotical setup…

With AdGuard enabled it frequently froze and I had to reboot it. For some reason even without AdGuard name resolution is noticeably slower. Doesn’t matter if I use my ISP’s DNS or not.

Also, DynDNS doesn’t support custom names, so I installed an alternative service for mywire.org.

Overally, this box came with drawbacks, but no doubt about it is hackable in the good way.

I would like to try openwrt’s own router, next time.

I would like to use my projects in work, I can’t force them to open everything, because I would have to find something else.

There’s a similar effort to have a figma alternative. It’s called penpot. But when I tried to self-host it, first it’s inconvenient, second it missed features, that was there in their official site. I wish it good luck, but Ardour is pretty good already.

What you really need is freedom. Not from AI but from corporations.

When the marketing went too far that it brought AI the wrong meaning.

The problem is not the tool. It’s the inability to use the tool without a third party provider.

I use Ctrl, Alt for applications, Super for the os/windowing. I hated MacOS which mixed these things. Luckily X.org let’s you do whatever you like, sometimes it’s just harder to configure. But I like it as it is.

urxvt, bspwm, sxhkd, and many small utilities that I built my desktop with. It’s hard to reproduce the same setup.

You listed malwares. Nvidia works tho.

Most of the time a popular distro just works, your special case did not. You should find the root cause, and report it. I’m sure windows is not bug free.

And also better than MacOS!

Linux itself is not the problem here. Which DE is it? Does it use X.org or wayland? If you disable the login manager, do the screens work in TTY right after the boot? If you use X.org, Sometimes X.org drivers needs to be configured, Some OSes come with X.org configs like Arch. So in Arch you usually just have to install the packages you need. If you use Wayland, try X.org.

Did you try windows and Linux on the same machine? Hardware limitation can cause such issues. But if it works with Windows but not with Linux then it’s not that.

Windows may use worse quality output, e.g. different refresh rate, different color profile to fit into the hardware bottleneck. You can also experiment with these.

USB controller kernel driver could also interfere in theory, you can try different kernel versions.

Multiple GPU setups have also many options that you can play with.

I hope it helps.

I mean… It’s already over-specified compared to others: “sex, gender or sexual orientation”. It’d be equally right to criticize religion for why don’t they write “belief, spiritualism, religion”, and to include identity, and expression.

They should just write “sex stuff”, and everyone is happy.

I’m not in favor of YouTube, but what exactly missing here?

I agree that flatpak is not there yet. The API is limited, and it is also hard to package an app. But I really want to see it succeed

I don’t use any of these, but I’m curious. Could you please write some examples?

I’ve never understood putting arbitrary limits on a company laptop. I had always been seeking for ways to hijack them. Once I ended up using a VM, without limit…

hey it’s free money for France
