None of the forks have had any mejor advancements iirc. It's all been logo or README changes.

Damn Horizon really is a forced franchise that Sony is shoving in everyone's face.

Valve's custom kernel patches for SteamOS' kernel; how many are up-streamed into the mainline kernel already? (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 2 months ago by kugmo@sh.itjust.works to c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

11 comments fedilink

Title says all, is it possible to use a mainline kernel on a non-SteamOS install or do you have to use Valve's kernel they ship with SteamOS 3.x? Is it possible to find all the the patches they use and compile a kernel yourself?

Is the SNES emulator Snes9x no longer trusted? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

[-] kugmo@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 months ago

It's lightweight so it doesn't require the higher specs that bsnes needs (and all of the accuracy improvements you will not notice) and is more compatible with ROM hacks too. IMO it's still the go-to SNES emu.

Self hosted syncthing relay with keepass, how secure is it? (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 2 months ago by kugmo@sh.itjust.works to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

9 comments fedilink

I already have my keepassxc and syncthing setup on my phone and computers and it's great, I'd like to go a step further and have my password database sync when I'm not on my home network. From my understanding I can use relays set up by other users and they are encrypted, but if I do not trust syncing personal (encrypted) data to someone else's server how easy is it to set up a relay that only I use? I won't be using Bitwarden because in theory if I can pull this off I can also use syncthing to sync other files as well. Is setting up a personal relay a lot of work or a potential security risk for my home network?

Is there a downside to Flatpak? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] kugmo@sh.itjust.works 28 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

overly verbose way to launch them in terminal
can sometimess not even respect your gtk/qt theming
sandboxing/permission system can lead to you trying to figure out which directory you need to give access to when you want to save file if it wasn't preconfigured
uses its own libraries and not system libraries, want to play the hit new AAA game with steam flatpak? get fucked it requires a mesa commit that was merged 8 hours a go and you're stuck on 23.0.4 and can't use the git release.

Flatpak probably has it's specific uses like trying to use one piece of proprietary software that you don't trust and don't want to give it too much access to your system, or most GUI software clients having an easy way to install Discord on your Steam Deck (no terminal usage, Linux is easy yay), but native packages 99% of the time work better.

Now we just need Apple M* hardware that can be bought like a regular laptop or PC parts, but that's never happening sadly.

What would you change about your favorite Linux distribution? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I'd just want more package maintainers for Arch, some people maintaining 1000+ packages is crazy and would take a load off of them.

Ross Scott talking about The Crew's future server shutdown making the game unplayable for people who bought it or received it for free. He wants to see if a lawsuit is possible because of how fast technology is outpacing the law and needs help with who to contact.

Incorrect icons in network configuration? (sh.itjust.works)

Title, my network configuration in the taskbar is using the incorrect icons for incoming and outgoing data sent. Am I missing a font (I would love to know the name of the proper font/icon set that is used) or is my desktop not configured correctly? Using 5.27.10 on Arch.

If successful, Intel's next generation Battlemage graphics cards will benefit all gamers in c/games@sh.itjust.works

[-] kugmo@sh.itjust.works 56 points 4 months ago

How do you not know that Intel has they same type of open source graphics driver like AMD? Their kernel module, OpenGL and Vulkan libraries are all free software, only requiring small firmware blobs. That's why Intel 'just werks' on Linux without having to download a 500mb kernel module or have a separate .iso available to download specific to the hardware.

A wise man once said "cash is king"

Although that brings up a point on how reliant we are on the banks, but a private crypto currency like monero is not yet ready for mass adoption.

ISP provided modem/router combo does not have firewall option? (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 7 months ago by kugmo@sh.itjust.works to c/networking@sh.itjust.works

2 comments fedilink

My ISP provided modem/router combo (Home Hub 3000 from Bell Canada) does not have a firewall setting, is this an issue for all of the devices on my network? Or is the router doing some packet filtering or something along those lines without me knowing? If anyone has this or any other Bell modem/router and is knowledgeable about the topic that would be greatly appreciated.

Variable refresh rate and Wayland/XWayland questions. (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by kugmo@sh.itjust.works to c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml

2 comments fedilink

So this has come up may times but I can't seem to get concrete answers for some of these questions. What is the status of variable refresh rate on Wayland and XWayland, what software versions do you need? To my knowledge VRR works on Wayland (I know it works on X with 1 monitor/multi-head setup but that is out of the scope of this) KDE that's version 5.27, and need a relatively new mesa version, I run the git releases and not stable. There is also the Atomic KMS update mumbo jumbo that I don't understand at all for Kernel 6.6. Basically will VRR work with the following setup, my monitor does have Freesync but has no on-screen notification that show's that it is enabled.

The game is running in full screen
AMDGPU (RDNA2)
Display port connection
Kernel 6.5
Mesa git compiled as of October 9th 2023
KDE 5.27
Wayland 1.22

Will VRR work for only native Wayland games (do any exist? do latest releases of emulators have a Wayland mode) and will it work on XWayland programs (probably 99% of what people are playing right now).

Thanks in advance for the help/answers.
