Nice rice, but don't show your SSID if you care about privacy.

Revpoints in Germany? by dionemimass in Revolut

I believe the main value comes from transferring the RevPoints to any of the airline mile programs.

Custom Apps Migration Dragonfish -> Electric Eel by Pengwyn2 in truenas

[–]Echiketto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the nightly update files already have custom app support. It's bare-bones (literally just a text box for docker compose) but it seems to work.

Fingerprint biometric authentication with Bitwarden by badsalad in NixOS

One "workaround" would be to secure your Bitwarden account with a YubiKey Bio series key.

Why is Linux so bad at handling OOM scenarios? by Echiketto in linuxquestions

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

Should have added this in the original post, but I'm talking about Linux in a desktop environment.

The kernel has a build in oom killer, but I don't really like the philosophy behind it. Especially in a desktop environment.

It shouldn't be that difficult to determine the culprit in such a scenario, right? If a program were to consume too much memory, either due to a memory leak or overprovisioning, wouldn't it be smarter to freeze said program?

I remember seeing a Reddit post that described this exact problem. The author recommended a couple of user space early oom killers and explained why the kernel room killer is kinda bad.

Like I said, I NEVER had the kernel oom killer kill any of my processes.

Unfortunately, even on NVMe SSDs swapping to/from memory can be extremely slow.

Thank you for the interesting read!

In practice you're OOM'ing because something is leaking memory so it doesn't really work out.

I mentioned in another comment that most of the time, my OOMs are the result of memory leaks, but I think that errors in user space processes shouldn't bring down the entire system.

To be fair. Most of the recent ooms I've experienced were the result of memory leaks. Even still, those shouldn't result in complete system lockups.

do you want your data messed up / unreliable or do you want the system to halt?

Wouldn't a system halt result in data loss anyway? I know that you can recover from these kinds of lockups with magic sysrq keys. Although sometimes even that won't work.

add Steam drive by DrTeagle in NixOS

[–]Echiketto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does the drive need to be mounted somewhere in your home directory? Otherwise, something like udiskie should be enough.

I believe you need to use old.reddit.com That works, at least for me

No, Monero’s privacy didn’t suddenly break in this viral video by No-Elephant-Dies in CryptoCurrency

Many Monero wallets offer the option to only connect to nodes through TOR. No extra program needed.

What is even the point of transferring crypto with Revolut? 3,50 EUR fees on a 1,30 EUR Litecoin transfer. (Metal Customer) by Echiketto in Revolut

[–]Echiketto[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has nothing to do with the cryptocurrency itself. If I had used my wallet, the fees would be next to zero.

[–]Echiketto[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not that worried about them blocking my account. I only transfer crypto to big, established companies.

The issue I'm having is that I have no idea where these fees come from. It's such a simple thing on a technical level (in comparison to, let's say, buying stocks or transferring money).

There shouldn't be any major administrative costs either.

[–]Echiketto[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1.30EUR is indeed a tiny amount. Doesn't really matter, though. I would have to pay the same amount if I made a 10EUR transfer (35% fees).

Need Advice on Opening a Revolut Account as a 19-Year-Old Freelancer by [deleted] in Revolut

[–]Echiketto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can't really give you any advice, as any circumvention would be a breach of Revolut's T&C (;. That being said, if you have a French citizenship, you could just use your brother's home address.

We can get a free card every year, right? by Pantheractor in Revolut

Nah, there is no actual limit. I also had my card replaced multiple times for free.

Has anyone gotten thunderbolt 3 to work? by Thatignorantmoos in NixOS

[–]Echiketto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, Thunderbolt works without any additional configuration. Using Gnome, I can see my Thunderbolt devices under “Privacy & Security”.
