Thank you kind soul, that really brightened up my day.

Not the whole government, but some of it 100% yes.

I don't see anything that could be considered a "Youth bad" statement in that comment. It's a complex issue, influenced by a myriad of factors.

For example, I could dissasemle and reassemble my first PC without any prior knowledge. I had to learn to use DOS to navigate the OS and get things done. I got a book from the library about it, and spent hours upon hours just learning about how the file structure, commands, programs, external media, etc. worked before I could do anything remotely useful.

Today a PC/tablet/phone is a black box, you have to actively WANT to tinker in order to learn such about how they work. And most big tech companies try to punish you for so much as trying to replace a battery yourself.

I suspect you are projecting some personal feelings onto a stranger's comment.

Ouch. I feel that comment on many levels.

I have that. It works surprizing well. The bits don't always stay in the tool, but I consider it a good tradeoff for being able to carry 36 bits in such a small package.

Welcome to Europe! I moved to Germany almost 20 years ago, and holy batflaps am I happy about that choice.

I can only agree. The Democrats are just as bound to the funding of the billionaires as the Republicans, they just have to hide it better in order to have a chance to win something.

The Roman Empire fell slowly, and now it's our turn. I only hope that true socialism can emerge from the ashes.

That's the nature of the beast. You can't have human users on a network without at least some slop.

But the decentralized network ensures that a "techno-baron" has no more say than you or I, which is exactly what the internet is supposed to do.

That's decidedly better than a centralized system, especially now.

Ouchie. OK, I get all that, not gonna argue.

But I'm in a completely different position as a hobbyist, I have completely different criteria.

Thanks for sharing!

Prusa for the win yet again. I recently upgraded to MK4, and the thing just keeps. On. Going. Great customer support. They work with 3rd party suppiers instead of against them. Worth every cent.

 

Hi all!

I'm trying to use a local LLM to help me write in an Obsidian.md vault. The local LLM is running through a flatpak called GTP4ALL, which states that it can expose the model through an OpenAI server. The obsidian.md plugin can't reach the LLM on the specified port, so I'm wondering if the flatpak settings need to be changed to allow this.

(This is all on bazzite, so the obsidian program is a flatpak too)

Anyone have an idea where to start?

I'm setting up a backup if an external hard drive to my pcloud, and I have come across the following issue. I need the help of this awesome community.

I used to run arch on my laptop, and I set up a backup of a usb hard drive to my pcloud storage. This was extremely convenient, because all I had to do was occasionally connect the drive, start the backup service, and that's it. Any changes to the drive would automatically be backed up in the cloud.

Now I've switched to bazzite,and the pcloud doesn't recognize the external drive as the same device anymore because the path has changed. It treats the drive as a part of the "new" laptop.

Does anyone have any idea how I could get around this? I don't mind starting from scratch again, I just want to find a way to avoid this in the future.

Note: I understand that I could just get a raspberry pi or something similar to act as a new dedicated "pcloud backup device" or something like that. I'm looking first for a solution that would work in the case of a new linux PC veing used in the future to do this same job and not loose the connection.

Edit: I think it would be enough to change the name of the PC, either just for the (pcloud) flatpak or the whole PC.

 

I need some help here from the experts.

Some background below, but here's the question:

Can I run KDE and Gnome on bazzite? How can I install and manage multiple images? I feel silly asking this, but I'm just not finding the correct documentation.

Background:

I have been running KDE desktop Bazzite on my PC for a while now, and I'm loving the robust and easy system (not to mention the ease of gaming). But I have found that one program just doesn't work correctly, and I had a game (Stellaris) freeze my system several times.

I ended up installing EndeavorOS on an older PC to experiment, and found out that the program in question (openAndroidInstaller) requires a Gnome portal to access my hardware. (Long live the Terminal!) Now I suspect that perhaps the game freeze wouldn't happen with Gnome either. So I want to have both on bazzite, but can't figure it out.
