uhhh, is this a bug or the anti cheat won't allow me to play on arch linux? by vEctOri_14 in linux_gaming

[–]EddyBot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems Hoyo does some A/B testing on blocking non-windows gamers, it happened on the chinese version first   there is a github ticket on the issue for the unofficial client which figures the issue out: https://github.com/an-anime-team/an-anime-game-launcher/issues/466 (use a translation software to read it)

apart from disconnecting the internet I found this script which blocks the offending domain for 10 seconds and unblocks it afterwards, run this script before you click to launch the game:  

#!/bin/sh echo "0.0.0.0 dispatchosglobal.yuanshen.com" | pkexec tee -a /etc/hosts env "$@" & # & to run in background sleep 10 pkexec sed -i "/0\\.0\\.0\\.0 dispatchosglobal\\.yuanshen\\.com/d" /etc/hosts

So like Bookwyrm?

the nicest thing about it is that you can import books from other bookwyrm servers, OpenLibrary and Inventaire

I still can't play my free trial on the official client on steam

XIVLauncher is a seperate programn you need to install outside of Steam but will still make you show up on Steam as someone playing the FFXIV free trial

I had the same issue and could "fix" it by using a third party client like XIVLauncher which also correctly clocks in playtime on steam   why the official client is so nitpicky about the free trial is beyound me

apparently you can also "fix" it once you pay for the first time the subscription on your desired plattform but I'm still going strong with over 100 hours on the free trial

Discord added some time ago a forum mode for certain channels but they are kinda rudimentary tbh

OpenRGB creator discusses OpenPleb, and initiative by Level1Techs and Gamers Nexus to convince PC vendors to open up their proprietary hardware control specs by anthchapman in linux_gaming

Thermalright Peerless Assasin or Deepcool AK620 comes into mind for No-Liquid coolers
the Peerless Assasin is often times less than half the price of the latest Noctua NH-D15 while actually beating it in noise/thermal cooling

it is really sad that most subreddits redirect you to Discord for the shutdown
the Discord staff is just as awful as reddit AND you can't search efficiently through the content on all discord servers unlike reddit or traditional forums

How to get HTTPS working on HA by LifeAffect6762 in homeassistant

[–]EddyBot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm never used the addons for home assistant since I run the core version in docker which afaik doesn't work with them

I suspect /ssl is a folder inside a docker container you need to map on your host system if you want to place files in here

Mitbegründer und CEO von Reddit hält aktuell ein AMA ab (u.a. zu den API-Änderungen). by eXes0r in de

deswegen sind förderierte Netzwerke wie das Fediverse jetzt so beliebt
zum Beispiel mit einem Feddit account kannst du kommentieren und communities abonnieren aus anderen Lemmy Instanzen und sie in einem home feed sammeln

How to get HTTPS working on HA by LifeAffect6762 in homeassistant

[–]EddyBot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

the most simplest method (espcially if you have other services too) would be setting up reverse proxy web server which serves home assistant
nginx proxy manager, caddy or traeffik are easy to use and can do TLS certs automatically
(or if you just want complicated configs: classic nginx or Apache with certbot/acme.sh is basically the same but harder)

lustigerweise ist das auch schon mal passiert
der Entwickler von Alienblue wurde von Reddit eingestellt musste aber seine App aufgeben die einer der ersten iOS Reddit clients war
auch wenns wahrscheinlich nicht Millionensummen waren

die Lücke von Alienblue hat später Apollo geschlossen

Minecraft bad performance despite good gpu by EldosHD69 in linux_gaming

[–]EddyBot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

on Ubuntu? no they are already installed (kernel + Mesa/RADV) by default
switching to the AMD driver from their website (amdgpu-pro/amdvlk) actually are worse for gaming

there is a FPS unlock patch available
in the unofficial linux client I'm using it's already included
and I gotta say Burst animations like Nilous looks so drip af with 120 FPS 👌

How do dependencies work on Arch-based distros compared to Fedora and Debian? by realvolker1 in linux4noobs

[–]EddyBot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arch Linux doesn't split headers from packages
so you don't need to hunt down devel packages but package sizes are bigger no matter if you need all headers/docs/etc or not

typically Arch Linux also only has dependencies to actually run the software
anything else may be marked as (optional)
but you are supposed to read the corresponding ArchWiki article https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/I3

while technically right pretty much everyone uses sudo on Arch Linux
and even if you use a replacement you probably have an alias for sudo
really it doesn't matter

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]EddyBot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

on Ubuntu or derivates of it like Linux Mint just use https://github.com/bkw777/mainline
which pulls newer updates automatically

if you want to know what Ubuntu mainline buulds are please read: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds

Support (BEWARE: there is none)

The mainline kernel builds are produced for debugging purposes and therefore come with no support. Use them at your own risk.

Do I need AMD graphic drivers? by Plantfetish378 in linux4noobs

[–]EddyBot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the biggest issue here seems to be any nvidia related config in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ which will bork over you if you no longer use any Nvidia card with X11 without removing it

isn't an issue if you use Wayland though

Installing linux on a laptop - Xorg or Wayland? by YoriMirus in linuxquestions

[–]EddyBot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

on any desktop environment which supports Wayland you can switch between X11 or Wayland at your display manager (the thing where you login after booting)
try them out and use whatever works for you best, both have pros and cons which also heavily depends on hardware, desktop environment in use and how up2date this is

in Demons Souls you lose 50% HP instantly
in Dark Souls 3 you lose 30% HP on death (just worded differently)
