I already have a desktop, but.. So, in bed.. I have socket right next to me. No problem. Uni? There is always a free socket.

Like, I probably will get a battery somewhere down the line, it is just, not a requirement or priority at the moment

So.

After long time of.. desire.. I ordered an used T430, for a bit below 100 euro. It seemed in a good state, had SSD, and 1600x900 screen, so, seemed good enough for that price. Albeit no battery, but I don't need one.

Now I am excited, waiting. Though, still not sure, if I will slap NixOS on it, or maybe go wild, and maybe.. Guix, or OpenBSD.

And maybe I will use that as excuse to finally poke keyboard-oriented web browsers as well, e.g Nyxt, qutebrowser, but will see

Caan'tttt waittttt

Pascal GPUs on Linux in 2023? by Nyoelle in c/technology@beehaw.org

[-] Nyoelle@beehaw.org 7 points 10 months ago

I think I will survive without Wayland.. I will miss gamescope a bit, but, it is what it is.

Steam UI.. good thing I don't spend much time there.

Proprietary driver, shouldn't be a problem. (seems it is easy to install, at least on NixOS) And I don't run secure boot, so, no issues on that front :D

No DLSS, I will survive. FSR cute anyway :3

Also thanks for extensive reply, I appreciate :)

Pascal GPUs on Linux in 2023? (beehaw.org)

So.. I used to run GTX 660, then moved to RX 560 as it released, because more comfy drivers, but...

Now, it so happened, that I will be getting 1070Ti. Which, I am really happy, but, I am curious, how is... Nvidia nowadays on Linux?

e.g Whether gamescope works, or how bad the performance degradation of DX12 games via VKD3D on Pascal is?

Steam.

A linux client that works, and actually gets fixes, improvements, and features, that is a lot.

Davinci Resolve

Really good video editor, and also, has Linux client.

how's your week going, Beehaw by Nyoelle in c/chat@beehaw.org

Pretty meh. But at the same time, decent, but not.

So, on one hand, I got more time to spend time with friend in Hunt Showdown, fun game. On another.. I Kinda went down on reading time.. I am still averaging over hour per day, buut, it would be nice to read more q.q And I want to read more in Japanese, but some days, its just... struggle train.

As in title, preferably open-source, but doesn't have to, I will start:

KOReader - Amazing reader app, and being able to use the same app across various devices, even non-android ones, is pure bliss. Japanese support is pretty good too, which makes me happy. Though.. Sadly no vertical text support :c

Syncthing-fork - Being able to keep a library of books, and some files, and easily keep the shared folder across various devices, is mega comfy. Tachiyomi - Cute manga reader.

NewPipe - Really pleasant youtube client, that i sometimes use to listen to things in the background.

Kaku - An useful Japanese OCR app, that works.. quite decently for when I encounter kanji that I do not recognize, and is not text.

EinkBro - A web browser, that on e-ink devices, is quite comfy. Has few... quirks, but works well on e-ink

UPDATED: There are now multiple iOS / Android apps in development for kbin & lemmy! by Nyoelle in c/foss@beehaw.org

[-] Nyoelle@beehaw.org 10 points 1 year ago

It is real nice to see how lemmy/kbin, and activitypub in general, progressing. It kinda.. gives me a bit of hope for the future? Either way, am happy :D

In your opinion, which FOSS software is by many considered "old" or "obsolete", but are in fact, in your opinion, in many ways better than the newer alternatives? by Nyoelle in c/foss@beehaw.org

[-] Nyoelle@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

Yep. It is a bit funny, and sad to see how we are regressing, despite the technology going forward...

Sadly, oftentimes, Forums are replaced by discord, despite... how different those are.

And, discord is inferior in so many ways. Not only you can't easily search for the content, you also need an account on centralized proprietary software, that also is quite resource heavy. Not to mention the privacy concerns.
