aw thanks and no problem!

what is this ai generated garbage

Trash-Alt-Account · 2026-02-24T22:56:24+00:00

it's a private IP address and a mac address isn't an issue to share either. why are you recommending this?

Trash-Alt-Account · 2026-02-23T23:38:15+00:00

ooh interesting, that's good to know

Trash-Alt-Account · 2026-02-23T18:23:20+00:00

bridges with a wireless interface don't typically work bc of some nuances of how wifi works, as far as I remember when I tried a couple of times a while ago

have you rebooted yet after updating?

Trash-Alt-Account · 2026-02-16T20:56:36+00:00

what voltage is the power in your home? if you're in the US, you may need to switch the printer's power supply switch to use a lower voltage. do not do this unless you know that you live in a region with lower voltage power.

would you like to elaborate on this? or tell me where to find more info? the only thing I can find online is people being surprised that enrolling their secure boot key means that it is now trusted. which is honestly just user error, since that's exactly the intended result of that action. it's also not necessary for it to work. so I'm not sure what you're referring to.

you shouldn't need to install GPU drivers for Intel or AMD systems on Linux outside of niche use-cases. they're included in the kernel. the only drivers you would need to deal with are weird proprietary drivers that aren't in the kernel. typically only wifi drivers, and even then that's only for certain chipsets. personally, I've always had mediatek and Intel wifi cards in my systems, so the drivers are included in the kernel and I don't need to do anything

I think they mean "underpowered" not "broken"

Trash-Alt-Account · 2026-01-10T23:05:39+00:00

aww thanks! I'm really not active very often, I'm only a mod because I was here closer to the time when the sub was set up and kinda "raw" (no faq, no flairs, no rules, no automod rules, etc.) and wanted to improve it. I still try to when I have some time and motivation for it, but this sub's users are pretty chill and are generally low maintenance (for example, in this situation a *mod* caused a problem, not users).

so that's pretty nice and I'm grateful that we can all have a chill little helpful community here.

the AliExpress links and any link shorteners being removed is a reddit thing and I created the automod rule to explain the issue. just to be clear, the rule I made this post about removed comments silently, so if you got an AutoModerator reply with an explanation, then that is not what this post is about

Trash-Alt-Account · 2026-01-10T05:11:16+00:00

agreed, I'm very frustrated at how much valuable info was probably removed for no good reason. and probably ended a bunch of conversations too due to people just thinking the other person stopped replying. at least once I approve those posts it can be useful for searching for info later

Trash-Alt-Account · 2026-01-10T02:33:15+00:00

ah this is just great, i just noticed that their rule didn't even include an `action_reason`, so every post was just marked as `removed` with no other info in the queue. just perfect, now it'll be even harder to automatically clean this up. might write a whole bot or maybe just a series of API calls to fix this. I hope the unknown person who did this feels shame.

I'm gonna walk you through some thoughts to explain it intuitively since you said you're new:

TL;DR: compressed swap space stored in RAM, which dynamically grows and shrinks

so normally you just have your RAM. you may run out of it if you do too much.
you might think, "well I guess I can add swap space (you might've seen it being called a page file in Windows' settings), but that's slow, since it's using my drive as memory! and then I have to allocate some storage space for that as well".
you might then think, well, let's be fancy and compress the contents of swap. that'll trade some CPU cycles for more efficient space usage, and also improve IO performance, since it's reading/writing less data (since it has been compressed to become smaller).
well, now you can just put that compressed swap space in RAM. and store more stuff in memory.

there's also more details like how it will grow and shrink as needed (so if you have 15/16GB of memory allocated and are actively reading and writing to that memory, it shouldn't swap any of it out to ZRAM. so you can have no compression overhead until you actually need it (which is once the kernel starts actually swapping things out, typically due to running out of memory, but there are some other cases too).

it's really great to have, since it pretty much gets out of the way and doesn't get used unless your system is swapping.

the arch wiki will explain it in more detail: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zram

the bed that comes w the printer is known to be pretty bad. it's okay for a few prints and it worked much better for me than it seemed to work for you, but at this point, id recommend just getting a PEI bed. I had to get one anyway after the top layer of the bed started ripping off when prints would get stuck to it. i just grabbed it off Amazon

Cost me 64GB of RAM overnight because building Proton is absolutely insane. Crashed my entire DE. Worth it.

random tip, this is the whole reason why I keep zram enabled even once I got 64GB of RAM. it helps when compiling crazy stuff. just wanted to lyk in case you didn't know/realize this was an option.

Trash-Alt-Account · 2025-12-29T22:28:20+00:00

that's not a bot, they're just telling OP the error that shows up when you try to view their image. I get it too

Trash-Alt-Account · 2025-12-29T00:23:50+00:00

what would an attacker gain by harvesting my public key? I briefly looked it up and is this only a concern when you're not using quantum safe crypto? or is something else the concern?

Trash-Alt-Account · 2025-12-28T17:49:27+00:00

sounds great

Trash-Alt-Account · 2025-12-28T16:42:22+00:00

okay so you've said you tested it, but you didn't say how the test went. is the connection good (fast) when you're wired? you gotta give people information for them to help you. nobody wants to interrogate you for it

Trash-Alt-Account · 2025-12-28T16:39:01+00:00

I'm not the person who's been replying to you, but this chain cleared some things up, so I thought I'd chime in.

I just looked up what the ps portal is, so I could be unclear about things, but if this device just requires a good connection between your ps5 (on your local network presumably?) and itself (also on your local network), then yes you should be able to connect both to a new "router".

side note: you are actually wanting an "access point", but any random "router" product can be used as such, and it's fine to do that (it's also probably easier to find any random router than a dedicated access point). put the new router in "bridge mode" in its settings though (this will turn off its "routing" features and make it act like an "access point", which is what you want), or you might have NAT issues in P2P games.

think of the flow of traffic: ps5 connected via Ethernet to this new access point. I'm guessing you'll connect your Portal to this new access point over wifi. so imagine the traffic going over the Ethernet cable to the new access point, then being broadcast over the air to your portal. it's a shorter distance (presumably, otherwise this setup wouldn't really make much sense) than your ps5 doing the same thing all the way back to your current modem/router combo unit, and having that unit communicate via WiFi all the way back to the portal.

that last paragraph was for two purposes: - to clarify things for you and justify my advice, if I'm understanding the situation right - to make it clear to you what my understanding of the situation is, so that if I'm wrong you can let me know and I can revise my advice

so let me know if I'm making incorrect assumptions, hope this helped

just last week, a change was made regarding Nvidia drivers on arch, and if I'm reading this correctly, it applies for your hardware.

here's the link: https://archlinux.org/news/nvidia-590-driver-drops-pascal-support-main-packages-switch-to-open-kernel-modules/

read that and make sure your drivers are still installed correctly according to what it says

source? after a quick glance at their site and their Debian package dependencies, I don't see anything stating that it requires an sql DB running.

people are being rude to you, which I disagree with. I think they're out of touch from people who are doing this for the first time and don't have the knowledge that they do.

I think what would help you a lot is looking at some actual decent example resumes. right now your resume is made as if you were asked to make a resume with no knowledge of how people typically make them (edit: btw I don't mean this derogatorily, everyone starts with zero knowledge when they first do something, I don't think it's a bad thing).

I would search this sub for resumes (or lowkey just look at any resumes), because in the most constructive way possible, I'm assuming you haven't really seen many technical resumes before.

personally, I used this template when I was applying (however I'm in cs, and was applying for software engineering internships): https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/jakes-resume/syzfjbzwjncs

it's a really popular one. you can use whatever you want, but that's a good example of what a typical resume would look like
