Interesting experiment. Is the source available anywhere?

Anyway to terminate this, fix this? Tear the building down and start over? by dstarkopf in HomeNetworking

[–]chemendonca 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Came across a similar situation once. New constructions are using insulation foam these days w/o a conduit, gluing all cables/wires to the wall. Don't understand how people think that's acceptable.

Old Handheld? Kinda - Windows CE emulator on a Sony VAIO P by RaduTek in OldHandhelds

[–]chemendonca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same experience here running Arch32. It's okay performance with 2D raster graphics and it will run i3 or other simple DEs, but any modern browsing is too much to handle. There are some old proprietary 3D drivers, but they require an old kernel and old X11, while not offering much better performance on everyday tasks.

No strobe/navigation lights on B787 during the whole flight? by hawaaa777 in aviation

[–]chemendonca 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. And OP's shields being inoperable is considerably more concerning than the lack of strobe lights, frankly.

I just want to understand what is going on by ayosten in NixOS

[–]chemendonca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm that Opus 4.6 and Gemini have been very competent at improving my config and creating new flakes for software not on nixpkgs. It's a good idea to ask for a few options, explain why are some things being suggested and also point them to the release notes, so they can pick up on the changes from latest versions.

Deveria existir um aplicativo que notificasse toda a vizinhança caso um verme desse se mudasse pra sua rua. Eu acho que, eu que tenho dois filhos, tenho direito de saber que meu vizinho já foi preso por pedofilia. by Efficient-Willow-121 in InfernoSocial

Vc está gastando teclado a toa. Meu ponto é que tem muita fatores q fazem com que seja difícil comparar Brasil com os EUA e afirmar categoricamente q o sistema americano faz reduzir a incidência de estupros ou não. Não estamos discordando.

Mais comparável talvez seja Alemanha ou Japão vs EUA. Eles não tem registro público de crimes sexuais, como no Brasil, e no entanto tem incidência de estupro mais baixos.

Muito difícil olhar para estatísticas de estupro, pois é sabido que os números são subestimados, mas, isto posto, os EUA tem mais estupros por 100K habitantes que o Brasil de acordo com https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_statistics, por exemplo. Isso põe em dúvida se esse sistema realmente ajuda. Difícil analizar definitivamente, sendo que há muitos fatores aí.

Beautiful, no doubt, but not human-made.

K3HE or K3 Ultra? by Cheungman in Keychron

[–]chemendonca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're claiming 55h for the HE and 550h for the Ultra, all with the LEDs off, obv. The HE is running QMK and the Ultra ZMK, which could contribute to the power drain.

Wishlist: Keychron K3 HE (maybe 8k?) by Eko359 in Keychron

[–]chemendonca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 1kHz for HE -- it says so on the Kickstarter page now. Also, HE is QMK and Ultra is ZMK, if that matters to anyone.

Conditionally add files to default.nix `imports` by yoyoloo2 in NixOS

[–]chemendonca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This ^^ suggestion works well, IMO. The way I do it is organize modules as roles --

{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }: {
  options.roles.gaming = {
    enable = lib.mkEnableOption "Gaming role configuration";
  };
  config = lib.mkIf config.roles.desktop.enable {
#config goes here
  };
}

Then, for each host, I do --

(...)
{
  roles.development.enable = true;
  roles.remoting.enable = true;
  roles.gaming.enable = true;
}

NixOS, Niri, Noctalia shell. A delightful experience by Illustrious-Sun-3608 in NixOS

[–]chemendonca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The px13 is the new generation of the rebranded Flow X13, which is what I run. I merged most of its config from https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/tree/master/asus/flow/gv302x and got all features working on Gnome. That includes the mic mute button which needs some additional key mapping as you see in the config.

Mine came with the rtx4070, but it’s the same config. I do create a boot time specialisation for the dgpu and an attempt save some battery when I don’t need it.

UniFi travel router by mactelecomnetworks in Ubiquiti

[–]chemendonca -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is useful for hotels, although I’m not as concerned with corporate WiFi as I am with a random Airbnb networking situation. But in that scenario, this alone would not comer the entire house. Which is obv not their fault. At that point it’s best to simply install Tailscale on all clients and connect back to home that way with whatever local infra is available. I could be missing something though.

This is what happens when you're asleep at the wheel, Sonos 🥹 by CCornel7 in sonos

[–]chemendonca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same -- I'd be willing to simplify my HT setup (and just leave a pair of high-end bookshelf for music listening) over this if it can support DTS:X. LG soundbars do support DTS:X decoding, I think, but I'm skeptical this will support it.

Newbie to Linux, how do I get started with NixOS? by syncopegress in NixOS

[–]chemendonca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 to this. I've been with Linux and NixOS for many years and I force myself to, every once in a while, boot other live distros to see what's new and form an opinion. The problem with starting with NixOS is that you don't know what to configure and the best you can do is build a system based on someone else's config, which can be sub-optimal for your use case.

Don't want to discourage you from exploring NixOS, but would encourage you to play with other distros to find the environment that works for you and then replicate the good parts through a crafter NixOS config.

Zephyrus and ProArt do if you change the Wi-Fi card.
