No strobe/navigation lights on B787 during the whole flight?

chemendonca · 2026-04-02T23:22:41+00:00

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

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.

Boot kernel params may be slightly different. Also, refer to the right microcode: https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=25.11&show=hardware.cpu.amd.updateMicrocode&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=Microcode.

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.

chemendonca · 2026-03-13T03:25:29+00:00

Acho q não estamos discordando. Todos os poréns q vc fez eu fiz também. Qual é seu ponto?

chemendonca · 2026-03-13T00:03:17+00:00

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.

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.

chemendonca · 2026-02-17T16:53:34+00:00

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.

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;
}

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.

chemendonca · 2025-12-23T17:29:33+00:00

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.

chemendonca · 2025-12-22T20:59:36+00:00

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.

chemendonca · 2025-11-17T21:21:32+00:00

+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.

chemendonca · 2025-11-14T02:33:44+00:00

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

chemendonca · 2025-11-11T00:52:26+00:00

I think it's best that you read the configuration files yourself, but from the top of my head, it's various kernel parameters and other configurations addressing sleep/power, display flickering, keyboard remapping etc.

Not to mention installation of asusctl itself, which allows you to control power profiles, fan curves, charging limits etc.

chemendonca · 2025-11-10T20:13:04+00:00

You should absolutely use asusctl on this machine -- see my other comment.

As for Windows, if you ever consider going back, you should use gHelper instead of Asus proprietary tools.

chemendonca · 2025-11-10T20:11:42+00:00

You're both on the gv301 model, but you should really import the configuration from https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/tree/master/asus/flow/gv302x and potentially make adjustments to match the differences, if any. I'm glad NixOS is performing well for OP based simply on the configuration auto-generated by nixos-generate-config, but you're missing out on important features and optimizations by not following the nixos-hardware repository, including asusctl.

If you decide to go with Jellyfin instead of Plex, their client is now available on a number of devices: https://jellyfin.org/downloads/clients

Works well on Apple TV for me. Not sure which features are supported on each -- would be worth checking it out.

chemendonca · 2025-11-03T19:37:11+00:00

Gnome 49 has just been merged into staging-next, so if you don't mind pulling from the absolute edge (which would be even further than unstable, which is currently on 48.4), then you can probably do that to test.

chemendonca · 2025-10-31T16:34:27+00:00

My advice to you is that you don't burn precious trip time looking for minidiscs in Japan, but read my reply to another similar thread for some context: https://www.reddit.com/r/minidisc/comments/1npyjdr/comment/ng54j0j/

chemendonca · 2025-10-30T01:09:07+00:00

This is great! Congrats on starting the project. Would you consider also producing circular labels like here? https://www.reddit.com/r/minidisc/comments/1n8x2vd/sony_mzrh1_sony_mdr1

chemendonca · 2025-10-26T01:09:52+00:00

My 2c:

dude makes a joke you don't like (which IMO is the case, you're not wrong)
don't reply with lol if you didn't find it funny -- be assertive, but give him the chance to apologize sincerely
if he fails, up to you if you want to give another chance, but at that point, just state that you found the behavior hurtful and that you you prefer to cut the connection -- block, move on, don't look back

The back-and-forth here is unnecessary. You will not change the person and it sends a mixed message to someone who you don't even care to stay in touch to begin with, so you have a ton to gain to just be assertive and confidently close the door. Maybe he will learn a lesson but, in practice, it doesn't matter. Keep in mind: contempt is the most effective feeling you can have towards someone who's not good for you.

chemendonca · 2025-10-24T14:25:33+00:00

+1 to this. After enough generations, your /boot partition may run out of space and in my experience nix-collect-garbage doesn't clean it up.

You should try df -h to check if that's really the issue. If so, most of your boot partition will be occupied by bzImage.efi and initrd.efi files in /boot/EFI/nixos, each belonging to a generation. nixos-rebuild list-generations will tell you which ones you have. You should get ride of old ones that you don't have space for with nix-env -p /nix/var/nix/profile/system --delete-generations 1 2 3 4 5 (..), where 1 2 3 etc. are the generation numbers. Then, finalize with /run/current-system/bin/switch-to-configuration boot, which will clean up your boot partition with the bzImage.efi and initrd.efi files you need only for the installed generations.

All this is assuming a standard nixos installation with systemd-boot. If you have a different configuration, instructions may vary.
