Thanks for the info! It would be good to be aware of the term

Just a sidenote about ntfs & ext4.

ntfs doesnt require defragmentation on SSDs, and it actually might lower the lifespan of your SSD because of the increase in unnecessary read/writes.

ext4 IIRC works just fine as long as your drive is at most 90% full and you keep that last 10% free.

Its been a while since i read up on that fact about ext4 so someone more experienced can correct me if im wrong

Whats alt-tech?

After the situation with his former employee (i forget her name) coming out and exposing how toxic of a work environment that company is, i completely stopped watching (not that i was a regular viewer before) and do not give their vids the slightest bit of my time

Thanks! I just joined and registered on the server. It will be good to have that available :)

Please could you guide me through that? How would I check that its set to e1000? I looked at the xml and and the model type is e1000, but again, I’m not sure im looking in the right place. Up to now I have been rawdogging qemu, so im not that familiar with virt-manager

I considered that, and the reason I decided to go with the method I chose was twofold:

1. I of course need to be safe - that means I don’t want to run unsafe kernel code on my main machine, so a virtual machine makes sense. I could use one of my old laptops as both a host and target machine, but honestly I have my main machine set up just how I like it for development so I would probably end up using it for writing the actual code anyway. I suppose I could have one of my laptops be the target and pull code from github (exactly what I was planning to do with the virtual machine just with real hardware).

2. I didn’t want to introduce more problems than would naturally occur when going through the book while learning, by adding the fact that I have a great mismatch in kernel versions, which would undoubtedly change the APIs a great deal. I learn better when I can focus on getting comfortable with one thing at the beginning, and then building from there. If its not as tragic as I imagine it though (the mountain looks larger before you start the climb) I would definitely prefer getting comfortable with the modern kernel as ultimately that’s what I plan to develop on (this all started because I want to fix some stuff with my Genesis Xenon 770 mouse that I’m unhappy with currently).

However, I am open to the idea. Could you direct me to any resources you found helpful specifically for adapting what you read/learn in that book, to the modern kernel? Or any other helpful resources really, anything would be helpful at this point. Discords, forums, wikis, whatever you have :)

I’ve got it set up like that. In my NIC section, under device model, the selected option is e1000e, but still no eth0 interface or anything other than lo and sit0

Edit: unless I misunderstood and that’s not enough to use the e1000 driver

Is it weird that i dont want to be remembered? I just want to fade into nothingness. None of it matters anyway

This. Im not french, and while the surrender jokes can be slightly amusing at times, i feel a great sense of pride(?) everytime i see on the news that theyre protesting some new tyranny. Wish my lot were like that. Alas, we not only get trampled by the boot but kiss it as it passes by

Yes exactly! Thank you

How can you look through/search through all current initiatives without needing someone to supply a link?

Eve online for me too. Ill be logging in in a few minutes 😃

As for the social aspect, even though im in one the big alliances, if i just dont feel like it on any particular night then theres no need to be social. I can do my own thing.

I changed how i look at communities when i switched to lemmy. Instead of just looking at the part before the @ i look at the whole thing and consider that to be its name.

So instead of the gaming community its gaming@xyz.qr and gaming@abc.de as a whole.

Tl;dr: theyre different separate comminities and the name is for all intents and purposes the entire thing.

I suggest subscribing to all of them for the topics you want and slowly through exposure learning which ones youd like to keep.

Use chapstick

Read a book in public

Not go to gym

Play certain more “feminine” games

Those off the top of my head. I live in a nation of backwards idiots, so there for sure are more

Could someone compile a list of maintainers associated with israeli companies to highlight the hypocrisy of removing russian associated maintainers to comply with international sanctions, when the ICJ has an ongoing case of genocide against israel?

Excuse me if this is a stupid question, but is this something that would be used to achieve the functionality of something like chezmoi? Basically a dotfile manager?

I’m almost done with my CS degree, I started learning programming at age 10, low-level software development like drivers and embedded really interests me and that’s the direction I want to go in for a career, but I had to ask my friend who was studying with me to help me build my PC. Hardware just scares me. I’m worried ill bork something :3

Yeap, I ended up looking there and there were hints to use certain proton versions buried in the reports. Will update my OP now with the solution. Thanks!

I tried swapping the files so that the sh3.exe.Backup (original file) was the one being run and the patched version was renamed to something else and it still does the same thing. Could it be something else causing the crash? How can I track it down?
