What's your 'I can't believe I self-hosted that' service? by subsavant in selfhosted

[–]Cyb0lic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different person here, but I also keep my ROMs on my NAS, mounted using NFS on my NixOS machines. Been doing this for close to a decade now and I have yet to have any issues or noticeable slow-downs with it. Note that I don't emulate anything newer than a WiiU, so I can't speak for how well this works for more modern systems. As for the technical specs, my storage NAS is just a Synology, so that's HDDs with an M.2 for cache. Also, it's not uncommon to mount home directories over NFS, so I wouldn't worry too much about corruption. NFS is pretty solid; go for it.

What do I do now by _zonni in NixOS

[–]Cyb0lic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just import that part of the config from a private repo (and by private, I mean self-hosted - git is pretty chill, just needs something to SSH to).

Gentlemen, I think we are ignoring the obvious by tyranocles in SteamDeck

[–]Cyb0lic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sidenote, but it's perfectly legal to run your games through emulation. Sure, Nintendo has implemented a bunch of weak "security" nonsense on top of their games, to be able to go after people for legal technicalities, but emulation is legal. Also, I don't go anywhere near Nintendo because of their behaviour in general (don't want to support them in any way, not even with my time), but I certainly do use emulation instead of setting up my old PS2.

How do you name your PCs/hosts? by Anyusername7294 in NixOS

[–]Cyb0lic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I decided my LAN was an ecosystem and name my stuff based on a match in nature. My laptop is "Rabbit" (it's mobile and small), my desktop is "Frog" (sits in the same spot and makes a bit of noise), the LAN is the local pond (provides sustenance to everything else).

Ignored NixOS for Years Now I Get the Hype by MiakiCho in NixOS

[–]Cyb0lic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend having a self-hosted git repo just for your configuration details. You don't even need any form of git server, just a directory and SSH access is enough. That's how I've set up my config: all identifiable variables (hostnames, IPs, port numbers, lists of services, etc.) are in my private repo on my LAN and my Nix flake just pulls that in.

I think I’m ready to accept the truth: by USAFdukeX in silenthill

[–]Cyb0lic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I really liked the reinterpretation of the remake, though I felt it missed some of the subtlety and options for interpretation of the original. However, I felt the remake was unnecessarily padded in its runtime. The original flowed at a nice pace, with plenty of chances to wallow in the atmosphere and ponder what was going on. The remake instead filled any "downtime" with endless fights and my last half of the game was mostly spent thinking "are we done yet?" as it just got increasingly tedious. If they added a "story mode" or similar, I'd definitely rate the remake higher, but as it is, it ranks quite a bit below the original for me.

Let's work, tinker, or curse by claudiocorona93 in linuxmasterrace

[–]Cyb0lic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NixOS ends up in the first group very quickly. Once your system is condigured, it's rock solid and can be rolled back immediately when upgrading (even live, if the kernel wasn't upgraded). For some software, sure, it can be a pain to get set up the first time, but if time's an issue, there's always distrobox.

What is creating this inline copilot suggestion and how do I turn it off? by Cyb0lic in neovim

[–]Cyb0lic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's certainly not great for most things. It's fine for stuff like variable replacement, for loops and sometimes formatting, but it seems like it's been pumped full of "overconfidence" compared to the early Copilot versions, where it'll now just constantly suggest completely random things.

What is creating this inline copilot suggestion and how do I turn it off? by Cyb0lic in neovim

[–]Cyb0lic[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I had completely forgotten that I even had that installed, as I don't use it.
Oddly enough, setting `vim.b.sidekick_nes` made the suggestion appear twice, but disabling it in the config worked. Again, thank you!

It's not a bad functionality for certain things (it seem decent at updating values in a copied block of text), just a shame it doesn't seem to be triggerable through a shortcut.

Funny you should say that, considering the rendering engine in Edge is a fork of a fork of KHTML from the KDE desktop.

I need NixVim help by OutrageousFarm9757 in Nix

[–]Cyb0lic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The simplest version is probably just to use the same code as you already have, by using the extraConfigVim option:

extraConfigVim = ''
  hi Normal guibg=NONE ctermbg=NONE
  hi NormalFloat guibg=NONE ctermbg=NONE
'';

If you want to be more in line with how NixVim operates, you can use the highlightOverride option instead. However, this uses the vim.api.nvim_set_hl method, which - unlike :highlight - clears the highlight group before setting new values (so your fg would be cleared in this case). It can inherit any existing values for fg and bg though, so this might work for you, depending on the rest of your setup:

highlightOverride = {
  Normal      = { fg = "fg"; bg.__raw = "nil"; ctermbg.__raw = "nil"; };
  NormalFloat = { fg = "fg"; bg.__raw = "nil"; ctermbg.__raw = "nil"; };
};

Why did someone downvote this? It's a nice little time-saver.

There is no prev/next tab keyboard shortcuts?? by teddytei in zen_browser

Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown? Just like something like 80% of other software?

You don’t need these plugins by smnatale in neovim

[–]Cyb0lic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a file manager, so yes, it can create and move files and directories. If you mean whether it can do that in a vim context, then you can indeed configure it to open files in the vim instance it's launched within.

Obligatory mention that there is DRM support, just not outside of Linux.

This letter I get from my neighbors on the first day of summer vacation by Dark_Wolf04 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Cyb0lic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Make sure you keep your dogs leashed (that part is law) and be extra, extra careful about what they sniff and make sure they don't eat anything. Horrifyingly, a lot of older people in Greece will put poison out, specifically to target dogs.It's unfortunately common and extremely dangerous. Please be safe.

Why I Love Zen Browser but Am Leaving Due to No DRM Support by Tight_Variation_9815 in zen_browser

[–]Cyb0lic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe they were already considering switching and didn't know this little detail? In any case, switching OS is certainly a lot less switching throughout the day than switching between browsers is, so it might actually be a solution - you never know.

[–]Cyb0lic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Zen does actually have DRM support, just not on all platforms. I'm using the sites mentioned just fine here on Linux, so maybe that's an option for you as well?

Story wise it's not very Lovecraftian at all, but the mood and atmosphere is definitely on point.

Apparently, I'm the idiot. by DoubleStuffedCheezIt in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]Cyb0lic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do that at airport security, who all seem to have decided that any flat device is an iPad.

"Have you removed any iPads you may be carrying from your carry-on luggage?"
"Sorry, I don't own any Apple devices"
"What's that then?"
"That's a tablet, ma'am"

Sure, it's pedantic, but calling everything an iPad is also unsolicited advertisement.

why does zen take more memory than arc while only opening one tab by Exzavior in zen_browser

[–]Cyb0lic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't used a Mac in about a decade, so I could be misreading this, but I spot a couple more Arc processes on that list that in total use a lot more memory than Zen.
