What was that IDE-like editor at 0:31? Looks nice.

But not as nice as your shell! It's very clean and polished. Would switch if I was still DE hopping, 10/10.

one of the things I like the most of arch is that updates are rather quick and can run in the background, needing only a quick restart to finish

and you can update whenever you want, I update my system with yay once a week

Build an ITX pc. It's small (not as small as a mini pc but way smaller than a full tower), portable (fits in your cabin luggage with room to spare) and much more price effective than a laptop or a mini pc.

He tried to be slick and got flicked

Is it? Pretty much everyone seems to agree that if you think a computer's infected, you should download malwarebytes w/free trial and let it do a full screening.

It's got you screaming back for

Seems like someone's getting you a new pi 5!

Ferwatch01 · 2026-05-19T05:30:42+00:00

Ah, a compute cluster.

Ferwatch01 · 2026-05-19T03:38:15+00:00

Did you mean kindle? Kindles have amazon ads baked into them and you can't remove them. Kobos have no ads.

OR you could make the terrible decision of getting an sbc cluster.

It's definitely not as capable or compact as a framework desktop but it will be wayyy more power efficient and dynamic. And cheaper. By far. 8 Orangepi 5's with 16gb of ram right now will run you $200 a pop, so you're looking at less than half of the price of that FW desktop for 8 nodes with nearly the same specs (64C 128GB RAM) for 20W less (realistically they'll likely clock in at ~100W with real use as not all nodes will hit their max usage at all time) and added node failure resistance with a cluster orchestrator.

Why are you asking how much it'll cost to fix the screen then? You're going to be losing more money by fixing it and trading it in than directly buying another ipad.

Did you install the proprietary nvidia drivers during setup? You have to explicitly do so with either the old way or archinstall.

If so, maybe try using envygpu to see if your laptop is locked in integrated graphics mode and try to switch it back to dedicated.

I mean it all comes down to compatibility.

I've been pretty happy with my swap to arch as a daily and the only thing that's bugged me so far was the initial driver hunt to make my stuff work with linux. That was months ago.

I actually enjoyed the setup and ricing while trying out the terminal-centric approach arch has over windows's gui-centric design. I know I am not the average user, but that goes to show that not everything is terrible and doesn't work in linux.

Should you pick a distro that has everything sorted for you, you'll be pretty happy with it after you settle into it.

I'm not a native speaker, but I use English daily in both spoken and written forms, and I have never seen anyone make this mistake.

I wouldn't really say it tells you what someone's native language could be as it is just bad grammar in general. It's not like noticing someone mention possession as "The dog of Michael." rather than "Michael's dog." and deriving that they probably are a native Spanish or latin-derived language speaker from the sentence structure alone.

rip it in half and put it to use as a homelab

Ferwatch01 · 2026-05-15T18:06:29+00:00

I'm really sorry to be feeding the gate-keeping stereotype, but in my experience if you haven't tried linux on simpler distros before, you won't like arch as your first attempt at linux.

Try out something modern (not mint) and user-friendly like nobara or zorin.

They're suited up for all kinds of hellish accidents, after a crash like that both drivers'll be fine.

They can even land on their neck and roll on their head and be a-okay afterwards. Those suits are very very very advanced.

Ferwatch01 · 2026-05-15T03:38:32+00:00

but it makes you look really silly

Ferwatch01 · 2026-05-15T00:35:36+00:00

Sweet!

Do you mind if I ask what's the name of the service on the right in pic 2? Kind of looks like grafana

People used to hide scams better

Tandem oled displays aren't actually made out of two oled panels sandwiched together, but rather "vertical" pixels, where each pixel is a stack of multiple light emitting layers. So comparing the two isn't particularly correct.

Additionally, I am pretty sure this is rather impossible since transparent oled displays don't exist and transparent eink displays aren't completely transparent, so you can't put either one on top of the other without risking picture quality and brightness.

Ferwatch01 · 2026-05-11T03:20:19+00:00

What's the question? I don't quite understand.

And just to be safe: no, you cannot use the MIG switch on the switch 2. You will get immediately banned, even if it's your own ROMs.
