There’s an issue with posts about which games work and which don’t.
Thanks for the correction. It’s a shame that sysadmins balcklist middle nodes too, since they won’t see any TOR traffic originating from your IP address anyway.
Make sure to not refresh the page, else it seems like all progress is lost.
I found out simultaneously that I enabled pull down to refresh the page in Firefox Android.
fclones is fast and supports hardlinking/softlinking of duplicates instead of removing them.
I’ve used it successfully to deduplicate my documents folder (and “archive”).
As its quite the amount of data, I recommend using the --cache
option to make subsequent runs way faster, if you want to dial in the options. This directory can be deleted at any point and isn’t necessary.
There’s different types of relay, including exit relays, which are the legally problematic type. Middle, guard, and bridge relays don’t face the same issues with law enforcement and IP blocking.
tl;dr

So Wayland, a protocol, is needing the addition of other protocols?
Yes. What we know as Wayland is the Wayland core protocol and a few other protocols that are absolutely necessary for desktop use (stable).
Then there is staging, which is not necessarily implemented by all compositors, e.g. fractional scaling.
Unstable also exists, which is even easier to get a protocol into (idk the exact requirements, likely the amount of support and explicit dislike by contributors).
These are often only used by a subset of compositors with e.g. XDG decoration allowing compositors to announce to clients (windows) that they support server side decorations (top bar with close/minimize/maximize buttons). This isn’t implemented by Gnome, but most other desktops support it.
Different desktops also have their own protocols, which are published so that apps targeting those desktops can implement them. Some are also supported by other desktops, if they think they are suitable for them.
E.g. wlr layer shell makes status bars possible, which are used by basic compositors like Sway or Wayfire. KDE also supports it, even though it was originally created by wlroots.
Does this make it a Wayland Distro?
In a way you could say that a compositor is a Wayland distro, as it implements a subset of Wayland protocols.
In the end this is good, because it allows for rapid development and discontinuation of protocols. E.g. if a better protocol comes around, both protocols can be supported at the discretion of every compositor.
The goal was to solve the problem of X11, where Xorg still has to support drawing UI by itself, even though no program or toolkit uses it anymore (the 80s were very different). The Wayland core is so minimal there shouldn’t be any issue with using it for a very long time.
Also, Wayland was developed by people with the goal to use it in automotive and other industry applications, where basic desktop functionalities, like multiple windows or session lock, aren’t useful.
Blender and DaVinci Resolve work better on Nvidia. AMD might work, but it will be a hassle and you’ll likely need the proprietary AMD drivers anyway.
With Nvidia supporting Wayland and the open-source NVK continuing to get better, you could even switch to open source drivers for gaming at some point, if you prefer.
Edit: I’ve had enough issues with AMD GPU’s clocking down while gaming, leading to micro stuttering. So don’t buy AMD just because everyone tells you they work flawlessly.
For CPU and mainboard, everything works well — just don’t buy a random unknown SSD from Amazon, then you’re asking for data loss and random issues.
It’s more so that you are allowed to try to block ads. If YouTube adds DRM or otherwise manages to stop usage of ad blocking, they are completely in their right to do so.
IIRC if something runs on your system, you have the right to mess with it, however you want — e.g. block specific parts of the site, or use reader mode etc.
I really wonder how you managed to uninstall nix. Editing configuration.nix shouldn’t even allow for removing .nix…
Anyway, this post made me remember why I used btrfs for my new btrfs system.
I’m honestly fine with DRM, as long as it’s removed within my definition of reasonable time. I’d say a year vor two.
Once the DRM is removed it allows for archiving and preserving the piece of media — as well as pirating copies.
I personally would be hesitant to host Immich publicly until they’ve done a security audit. The risk of accidentally exposing my photos publicly is too big for me.
That’s why I recommend using Tailscale or Wireguard directly. Personally I’m using Wireguard for me and Tailscale for other people I want to easily access my services.
Blocking incoming traffic and accepting outgoing traffic is usually the default for distributions anyway.
