I recently moved away from Bitwarden to proton pass. I really only moved because I was already paying for proton unlimited for other services. That said, it’s been great. Does everything I need it to quite well on IOS and as a browser extension on Linux

Thanks! I didn’t see that one

 

Ever since the database maintenance two Weiss so, I’ve seen far less content in my home feed. I decided to dig a bit today and found that I’m just not seeing content from certain subscribed communities such as [email protected]. Turns out the most recent content from there is 15 days old. That lines up perfectly with the db maintenance.

Sooo. Are there any known issues since then? Maybe something with federation?

I use proton vpn and Firefox Focus on iOS. I’m not sure which of them is doing the heavy lifting, but I rarely see ads on my phone.

I was having some issues today as well. My client (Voyager) was acting like I’m subscribed to zero communities. I had to log out and back in to fix things. Given the timing, I bet it’s related.

I normally don’t post scores because adding the spaces on every line is a pain on IOS. But I got a good score today 🤣

I’ve played a few times and got big scores like that. My top was 358 or something around there. The big scores were cool but I spent waaayyy too much time chasing those big words. Maybe 2 hours spread throughout a day. I’m no longer playing this one daily because I couldn’t make it a casual effort.

If you can be happy playing the game and not worrying about beating everyone’s top scores, then I suggest simply enjoying the game

Well this was fun. I may try this for a few days to see how it holds up

Maybe try it out on standard Firefox as a quick test? While annoying, this would help validate that the issue is with the librewolf changes to standard Firefox.

Also note that I also use both proton mail and drive from librewolf. Even today. If it’s a general issue with this setup, it hasn’t hit my machine (yet)

Markdown is my preference. It’s certainly not perfect for formatting. But it’s fantastically simple because it’s barely more than plain text. And it’ll usually look good in the end

 

I just stumbled on this new community. Having a young child, I figured I should join and learn! I also noticed that the Lemmy instance has a .au domain. I’m sure the theories and ideas will apply globally; but what about information regarding law, school systems, etc? Is this community intended for Australian info? Or is it acceptable that I ask questions specific to the US?

 

I made some changes to disk partitions. Now I'm seeing an issue with mounts. It's not a big problem but it's definitely confusing me.

[alex@rog-g15dk dev]$ sudo mount /home-temp
mount: /home-temp: can't find in /etc/fstab.
[alex@rog-g15dk dev]$ cat /etc/fstab
New                                         Partition    /home-temp   defaults            0 0 # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a device; this may
# be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices that works even if
# disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
#                      
UUID=5E74-A00E                              /efi         vfat         noatime             0 2 
UUID=53a2c9bc-31dd-4e52-902f-633867253481   /            ext4         noatime             0 1 
tmpfs                                       /tmp         tmpfs        noatime,mode=1777   0 0 
/dev/nvme0n1p2                              /home        ext4         noatime             0 2 
/dev/nvme0n1p3                              /steam       ext4         noatime             0 2

Can anyone explain what 'mount -a' is trying to mount?

Here's the context on the changes I made. My desktop used to run windows. I recently installed linux as well (dual boot). A bit later I destroyed the windows partitions. This left the beginning 2/3 of the disk unused.

Today I decided to reclaim that disk space. I created 2 new partitions, copied some data to them, updated fstab accordingly, rebooted, and grew the steam partition to 700GiB. That process had a couple of small bumps, including a partition that was mounted to '/home-temp'. I destroyed that partition before using it all.

So this error is definitely caused by me. That's fine. I'm just trying to understand what's going on and how to clean up the little mess.

I'm ditching Windows in favor of Linux on my personal desktop. And so I'm looking for advice on which distro I should start with.

About Me

I use Linux professionally all the time but mostly to build ci/cd pipelines and for software development/operations. I've never been a Linux admin nor have I ever chosen the distro I use. I'm generally comfortable using Linux and digging into configs/issues as needed.

Planned Usage

I use this machine for typical home usage: Firefox, a notes app (currently Notesnook), maybe office style tools like word and excel. I also use this for gaming: Steam, Discord, etc. Lastly and least important, I use this for a small amount of dev work: VSCode, various languages, possibly running containers.

What I'm Looking For

I'd like an OS that's highly configurable but ships with good default settings and requires very little effort to start using. I don't want it to ship with loads of applications; I want to choose and install all of the higher level tools. Shipping with a configured desktop is perfectly fine but not required. Ideally, I can have all of this while still keeping the maintenance low. I think that means a stable OS, a good package manager, stable/automatic updates, etc.

Last bit. Open source is rather important to me. I prefer free and free.

Anyone have good suggestions??

Edit

I'm aware of tools like Distro Chooser. They've recommended Arch Linux and Endeavor OS to me so far. But I'm not ready to trust them yet. I'm looking for human input.

Edit 2: Hardware Info

I'm running on an ASUS ROG Strix GA15DK. It's just over 2 years old. The hardware was shiny but not top-tier at the time. It’s not new at this point but also not old by Linux standards.

  • AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Processor
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
  • 16GB DDR4 3200 MHz RAM

Edit 3

It's official. I installed EndeavourOS! I got it to work without any issues. Yup, first try. It definitely didn't take me ~10 tries :D

Thanks for all the input all! Wonderful crowd here!!!

 

I love the new feature to hide posts! But it's a bit clunky if I want to find an older post. Any chance we can get an option to not hide posts when viewing a specific community? I.e. Only hide posts when I'm scrolling through the main feeds.
