autistic fixation with IPV6

Sure, someone helped me setting up a script to share the wl socket between namespaces so I can run GUI programs in isolated namespaces, and if you look at this post you can check the namespaced-openvpn; also check vole's answer if you want to run GUI programs

You can configure this behavior for CLI, and by proxy could run GUI programs that require elevation through the CLI:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Sudo#Using_visudo

Defaults passwd_timeout=0(avoids long running process/updates to timeout waiting for sudo password)

Defaults timestamp_type=global (This makes password typing and it's expiry valid for ALL terminals, so you don't need to type sudo's password for everything you open after)

Defaults timestamp_timeout=10(change to any amount of minutes you wish)

The last one may be the difference between having to type the password every 5 minutes versus 1-2 times a day. Make sure you take security implications into account.

Timeshift, make sure to "include hidden files" to recover any configuration for desktop environments

After a few mess ups, you may find yourself not needing to backup everything, only the file(s) that messed up, and that's still a good thing to have Timeshift for

Arch is having internal discussions to increase it. Might be something upstream may adopt if all major distributions end up increasing it.

Happened once around two years ago, s botched update from mainstream or something like that. Made me learn systemd boot which is simple and never EVER use grub again

I figured the root cause of the problem and a workaround. Journalctl shows this info when starting SVP:

• Video: 0 GPU OpenCL device(s) on rusticl [OpenCL 3.0] (Mesa/X.org)*

this thread says rusticl is broken

https://www.svp-team.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3167&p=17

therefore disabling hardware acceleration, for now, makes svp work again

3rd gen i7 is outdated

Even a 8th gen i7 struggles to keep cool and quiet compared to Ryzens from 2019 onwards running the same stack

I had a chuckle with his description because "Redondo" translates to "round" in Spanish
