this is kinda how vrchat makes me feel

I used some distro with vim back in the day and I just kept using it. I lose my shit when I use something with just nano and my muscle memory tries to do a vim thing.

I ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed

I have a display with HDR and VRR but VRR is fucked on all same and older generation oled panels I found out later, and the brightness flickers at dumb times so I can’t use it regardless. There’s a very specific case in which it works iirc, but it would require consideration for every game.

But apart from me and one guy several tax brackets above me, everyone I know uses ~2016 basic model tvs and monitors from fbm or similar era gaming displays from friends that upgraded. Some of them have old HDR capable displays but I feel like oled without HDR beats lcd with HDR any day. The average gamer still uses pretty shit tier hardware and GPU is definitely a generally preferred upgrade over display when you can get old 1080p’s free or 4k for cheap used, lack of buzzwords be damned.

Yes that is my blind spot that I have created. I go into a store, I see g-sync is nvidia, and assume it won’t work. I have been avoiding stuff that I know doesn’t work or suspect won’t within the decade, for decades. I’ve been recommending friends and family avoid certain specific brands/tech buzzwords on the basis that it probably won’t work in a few years when the maker decides to drop support for version 1 and similar scenarios, or the ‘surprise’ real life case of windows really crossing the line on how shitty they can get away with and making people want to switch and coming to me to ask if this or that linux distro would work for them.

IDK where you find ‘normies’ that have any idea what vrr and hdr even mean and those types tend to not even notice when they are running 60hz on a 265hz monitor with the resolution set wrong. My users are a bit more advanced than that but I’ve had 7 more people ask me to help them switch to bazzite or arch based distros since should be built in apps like notepad started bugging out for them and apart from things like ‘how install repack?’ or helping with mods, which they would have asked me for regardless of os, I haven’t had to do any further actual work on their systems and the one that had an hdr display proudly told me about looking up how ge proton and one steam launch option/environment variable will enable it.

the part I always forget is that I almost instinctively avoid hardware with linux issues and never have hardware problems with any particular distro, leaving me to hate on gnome or the distro maintainers making corpo choices

Bazzite works on all but my mom’s computer which for some reason works with aurora. A lot of people seem to hate on atomic distros but thanks to them I haven’t done any bullshit idiot level tech support in so long and I can finally have panic attacks and anxiety over just work and current events

Family connect to my server with tv. If tv is in the same house everything is blocked and select things are whitelisted.

I need lidarr to support them

I’m running it on my server but I haven’t actually used it yet, but it will be there when I need it so I don’t have to use some janky site found online

I have other issues with opnsense lately but it has some sort of bufferbloat mitigation that seemed good enough. On the 1000mbps from isp I get 0ms latency increase at the expense of like 100mbps, or 0ms average with some spikes with a 50mbps loss. Can it be done without any download reduction?

How is x86 openwrt? I’ve been on opnsense but my APs are openwrt and maybe I’m remembering wrong after a long time of not touching the management page but I could have sworn it used to detail what rate cables connect at and it doesn’t seem to any more without unrememberable shell commands, and at some point my lan domains stopped working, among other minor annoyances I could also swear are new since my absence.

Man it doesn’t even feel like that long ago that my mind was blown by 100mbps. Also blown over how I just made a bunch of cat5 (not e) patches for my brother’s brother printer and other non gigabit devices and he mixed it up with the 6a and connected the computer and it seemed to actually work at 2.5gbit. Still put the proper one in though as I can’t trust that and wpnt always be around to babysit it.

One vote for mini pc router with poe wifi ap. When I first set it up I had a tp omada wifi 5 and switched to a yuncore/kuwfi wifi 6 ap flashed with openwrt and I didn’t even have to touch the router config, although I did so the new ap would get the same ip as the old one.

As a path to ease in I was also considering keeping whichever of my older tomato and openwrt routers was more powerful processor wise with the wifi off and using the standalone APs as an upgrade to wifi5/6, but the used pc with 2.5gbe and 10gbit sfp+ came into my possession cheaply so I went for it.

PC router has opnsense though. I haven’t tested x86 openwrt. I also got it cheap because the sfp nic didn’t work, warning of checksum error but I fixed that using intel eeupdate (have to pirate/have nda breaker friend) on a portable windows 10 install.

its the year of child abuse platforms on linux!

last I checked it couldn’t run on the colour models or the same gen non colour

I move my container workloads around sometimes whenever I decide a partucular machine should be prioritizing different tasks and the built in apps may not always be as portable. Not sure about synology but on truenas I often end up switching to the docker container when some random problem comes up. I’ve been considering trying out kubernetes because of how much migrating I do but the learning path seems a bit cursed. I do have a few computers doing nothing though.

I’m just waiting for something like this with native podman support

I’ll use this for various things on my domain while having no actual involvement with cloudflare
