…that’s your selling point? this kinda proves my point

this person opening lemmy:

dead ram definitely still happens, yes, but it’s exceedingly rare. I fix hundreds of PCs a year, and I maybe get one or two a year where the root cause is actually bad ram. more often it’s configuration issues or hardware implementation issues, for example the gigabyte x870 boards really don’t like XMP for some reason.

ecc doesn’t really have anything to do with whether a ram stick fails or not, it can help with misbehaving sticks but if a stick is dead it’s dead and ecc can’t help a dead region.

smartctl would be what your looking for even for ssds (although ssds fail quick enough that if smartctl catches something there’s a chance it’s already too late, smartd allows for scheduled tests and I’ve definitely saved data off of ssds because I had daily smart tests running that caught early failure).

I however strongly disagree with the hardware issue. there is no indication that this is hardware (honestly hardware accounts for VERY few issues like this, and RAM failing still happens but is 98% a thing of the past). diagnosing without any logs is a bit of a lost cause, we simply don’t have enough info, hopefully OP updates the post with the output of journalctl from the last boot.

my Xbox elite series 2 works a treat, just has to stay plugged in unless you wanna spend like 30$ on a dongle sold separately

I really really loved their old stuff but I can’t even sit through their latest albums. super disappointing honestly

sundowning was the last solid thing they put out imo

musl is very cool and has very specific use cases. workstations are not one of them. you won’t be able to install drivers for gpus for example.

ah. that’s a shame. I’m with them till 2028 as I bought a decent length package, but I’ll probably switch away after that or sooner if they enshittify. I only use it for p2p and torrent search so I’m not super worried about it for now but that’s good to know.

what’s wrong with PIA? I’ve been pretty pleased with it, is there something I’m missing?

I’m a big enjoyer of pushd and popd

so if youre in a working dir and need to go work in a different dir, you can pushd ./, cd to the new dir and do your thing, then popd to go back to the old dir without typing in the path again

just installed it. to be honest I didn’t mind the r2modman ui but now I’ve seen the light…

thanks haha

very cool! do you know if gale supports the exporting and importing profiles as hash codes? that’s how me and my friends tend to share modpacks.

either way though I’ll check out, thanks.

I’ve used atlauncher for minecraft without issues. r2modman works perfectly via app image for a lot of steam games as well.

worst comes to worst you can manually drop files in but the tools do exist. it just depends what you’re modding

agreed. even the internal lcds are starting to go with age. I’ve replaced a few in the past month without any physical damage. just decided their time has come I guess.

they’re all containerization programs yes. I believe they differ in some minor details but thanks to the OCI standards a image built with docker will run in podman or vice versa.

distrobox is a little more feature rich for development, meant for exposing services and are interactive by default, vs dockers run and forget methodology.

podman works well, docker is a little finicky due to some systemd weirdness and the whole immutability of it all.

it mainly tries to get you to use distroboxes which are awesome. you can even install something in a distrobox and expose it to the host.

massgrave.dev has you covered if windows throws a fit

suicidelinux?

close, but it would actually be missing the codec in proton. bazzite actually comes with a very comprehensive ffmpeg build and all its dependencies.

steam just can’t include those proprietary libs in proton. luckily, protonge exists for this exact reason.
