I assume SSH is not exposed to the internet by default on openSUSE? I have not used SSH on my install so should I be safe if I just update?

raptir ,

Planning on hopping on as soon as the kid's in bed!

raptir ,

Just wanted to report back that this worked perfectly.

raptir ,

For any one who finds it in the future - I just set a Steam launch with gamescope set to half my native resolution, fullscreen and enabled fsr. Games run at the weird 1128x752 and FSR makes it look even better but I get great performance.

raptir ,

This but I don't have time or knowledge.

They're also doing the same thing with Google Play - arguing that collecting user emails for osm login doesn't count as collecting data.

Voice control for activities will no longer be available on Fitbit Sense and Versa 3 devices. You'll need to use the buttons on your device to start, stop, pause, and resume activities. You can still voice control activities on Pixel Watches.

Wow. Removing an existing feature from an older and cheaper device and leaving it only on the newer, more expensive device?

    You can’t just install an arbitrary Linux distro on an Android tablet.

    If you want to run Linux, buy something like the Juno or Librem tablets.

    Maybe I’m old but I’m really getting annoyed with apps becoming so bloated with features. The podcast integration was part of why I left Spotify. I was tired of having podcasts pop up on my home screen. Tidal luckily is free from this for the moment.

    raptir ,

    Ha yeah I run openSUSE on my laptop and Debian on my server.

    raptir ,

    I moved to Tidal + Plex. Loving it so far.

    Is there any issue with switching frequently between Wayland and X11?

    I can’t imagine there is but I’m wondering if I am missing something. I use GeForce Now and unfortunately it does not work in Plasma Wayland (issues with input redirection). Is there any problem with logging into an X11 session whenever I want to use that but using Wayland generally?

    Did you know that mastodons were relatively short? Despite being nearly 40% more massive than modern African elephants, the American Mastodon was 25% shorter on average!

    Don’t be afraid to customize your install with YaST. You can add/remove packages before you do the installation.

    You’ll need packman if you need restricted codecs for video.

    Update with zypper dup as a general rule.

    Since you’re talking about city travel, do you care about traffic? That has been my main issue with any alternatives.

    • Osmand: solid overall, you do need to buy Osmand+ in the play store if you need Android Auto functionality though (the f-droid version does not work with AA). But no traffic data so you’ll get the best route if there was no traffic. Another quirk is that you need to download the region you’re navigating in - you can view maps online but can’t navigate without the downloaded maps. And downloads are large chunks - it is by country or state/province so you’re likely using a lot of storage that you don’t need.
    • OrganicMaps: a cleaner interface than Osmand while using the same map data. No Android Auto support. It still needs to download maps but can auto download as you go and uses smaller chunks so you can download more locally.
    • MapFactor: one of the early offline options on Android before Google Maps offered the option to download. It has traffic data but I’ve found routing to be mediocre. It’s also subscription based rather than a purchase.

    If a request is for a generic person, sure. But when the request is for a specific character, not really.

    Like make one of the undefined arms black.

    raptir ,

    It’s tricky because the data itself is going to be biased here. Think about it - even the video game is specifically called “Spider-Man Miles Morales” while the one with Peter Parker is just called “Spider-Man.”

    Katniss is actually a good example. I was not aware of the details, but the books apparently describe her as having “olive skin”. The problem though is that if you image search her all you get is Jennifer Lawrence.

    That said, Homer is yellow.

    I’m honestly getting a bit disillusioned with Cast. I replaced all my Sonos with Nest speakers because of the better voice assistant functionality. “Fully supported” services like YouTube Music (that can be integrated as your default music service) work fine. But when I’m trying to use Plex or Tidal I run into issues if I try to include things like my Nest Hub in a group or dynamically add/remove speakers from what’s playing.

    raptir ,

    The issue is with different Cast firmware versions. The Nest Audio is at 2.57 and my Nest Hub is at 1.71. The CCwGTV is likely kept up to date with the Nest Audio.

    raptir ,

    Yeah my Shield TV is on 1.68 and it works so I guess it's not the specific version. Still, the inconsistent performance is annoying. Not bad enough to get me to sell the speakers, but bad enough for me to not recommend them.

    raptir OP ,

    Because it’s an excuse.

    raptir ,

    The main issue with Usenet is retention. I don’t mean that you should worry too much about retention on your particular providers, but just as a general concept the idea that after 10-15 years files go away means that it can be tough to find older media, especially media that is not popular enough for people to reupload.

    People always talk about needing multiple servers but I just use Astraweb and I have been fine. I have a block plan on another server somewhere but I honestly didn’t even set it up when I reconfigured nzbget.

    Movies and TV shows have been super easy to find on Usenet, but even with a couple private indexers I have found music and books to be hit or miss. I use Tidal with Plex and the $10 per month has been worth it to me simply because I listen to a ton of different music. That said, probably 80% of what I listen to has been available on Usenet.

    I read a lot of nerdy books (fantasy and sci-fi) and that’s been easy enough to find, but my wife’s more mainstream tastes have actually been trickier.

    I'm currently downloading a show that is on a service to which I subscribe

    I have a Galaxy Tab S7 and for a trip to Spain I downloaded some stuff to watch on the flight. When I got on the plane none of the stuff downloaded on Disney+ would play. Maybe an issue with downloading to the SD card? I don’t know, but regardless Disney offers SD card as a download destination so they should make sure it is...

    raptir OP ,

    So… what’s the point of downloading then?

    raptir OP ,

    Now I will say that Tidal worked flawlessly so I at least had some music.

    raptir OP ,

    Their help page says you can download to watch where you don’t have an internet connection. So if there is some DRM BS then that’s going directly against what their help page indicates.

    raptir OP ,

    Netflix is terrible but Disney+ 4k with HDR looks decent.

    raptir OP ,

    I use Linux but the only issues I have are 1) lower quality, since the best quality is usually restricted to Chrome and Edge on Windows and Max, and 2) no downloads.

    raptir OP ,

    We were downloading Netflix stuff to my S7 FE’s SD card since January of this year with no issues.

    raptir OP ,

    Well yeah I use VLC for the stuff I’ve downloaded.

    raptir OP ,

    Dude no. Don’t be ridiculous.

    raptir OP ,

    I was on airplane mode on my tablet.

    raptir OP ,

    I’m glad it worked for you. My problem is that if I can’t trust it to work reliably I’m just going to use something else.

    raptir OP ,

    Their support site literally says “when you don’t have an internet connection” so if it’s working the way you describe then it’s not working as designed.

    raptir OP ,

    I mean not streaming at all back with the DRM issues but I guess that’s fair.

    raptir OP ,

    I downloaded this stuff hours before I went to the airport.

    raptir OP ,

    You don’t even need to go the screen share route, Plex has Watch Together built in.

    raptir OP ,

    Yeah I was still on the plane and it was in airplane mode.

    Google gets 100% of the revenue any time someone searches using Google. What’s being discussed here is the amount that Google gives device manufacturers for them to set Google as the default search engine.

    Steam Deck Owners: What’s been your favorite game that you first discovered on Steam Deck and now you can’t seem to put down?

    Looking for those games that you may have heard about but never tried until you got a Deck. Or old games on systems you never had that you’re trying for the first time. Or new AAA games that just released in the last year or two that you picked up for the first time specifically to play on Steam Deck and have kept you glued to...

    raptir ,

    Not a new discovery, but I rediscovered Torchlight 1 and 2. The Steam Deck controls make it a lot smoother to play than a mouse.

    raptir ,

    Secure Boot is definitely possible with oS TW. You can select to enable it on install.

    With AMD you will be using the open-source drivers for gaming which means openSUSE will give you the benefit of the latest and greatest drivers for best performance.

    Honestly just install it with your DE of choice and install Steam. Even for non-Steam games I find that loading them through Steam to use Proton is typically better than setting up Wine independently.

    raptir ,

    This site was made by someone who was active on Reddit a few years back. It was made back when Steam specifically provided support for Ubuntu and no other distros.

    Am I going off the deep end by considering Fedora Silverblue or Kinoite?

    I recently switched my server over to running Plex and Home Assistant in Docker. I like the ease of transfer (just move my compose file and one directory where I have stored all the configs and I’m set) as well as the simple permissions management to give access to directories....

    Xfce does not get updated often, so by that definition it is the most stable.

    It’s also pretty stable from the perspective of not crashing, but I can’t say I’ve had much trouble with KDE either.

    raptir ,

    By a strict definition, the kernel is what defines Linux.

    raptir ,

    I love openSUSE Tumbleweed. It has a solid automated testing process that means packages will be held back rather than updating and breaking things.
