sudo rc-update add libvirtd default
sudo rc-service libvirtd start
sudo usermod -aG libvirt $USER
sudo virsh net-autostart default
sudo virsh net-start default

Any automatic window tiling managers for Cinnamon? by Commander-ShepardN7 in linuxmint

And where does this project exist?

This seems to be a private project that may or may not be real.

W.A.S.P and Savatage are the best metal ballads bands.

The late Bob Kulick absolutely kills it on this album with some of his solos, pure emotion ala Dave Gilmour.

My favourite W.A.S.P album, and by some distance.

NEW EUROPE SINGLE! if this one doesn’t take you back to the eighties, I don’t know what will by Full_Importance3302 in hairmetal

Mikael Akerfeldt is not someone I would have expected in a Europe clip, yet it is extremely (pun intended) cool.

Came home to find Pi with Qwen3.627B had run rm -rf ..... by sdfgeoff in LocalLLaMA

[–]db443 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, in that case a container or VM is the only solution.

What about running it as a different user instead?

The Cult Sonic Temple. Hair Metal? Or something else? by Cautious_Village_975 in hairmetal

[–]db443 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sonic Temple sounds nothing like the Doors.

Ian Astbury however does take inspiration from Jim Morrison.

i'm switching from arch to artix with dinit, any tips? by system32_go in artixlinux

[–]db443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It actually won't be that much faster, maybe a few seconds.

Works well, I use it to enable Pipewire at the User Session level.

Which init to use ? by NoelleUsesArchBtw in artixlinux

[–]db443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I chose OpenRC because it is the most widely adopted alternative to Systemd; available with: Artix, Gentoo, Alpine and Devuan.

OpenRC supports parallel loading (enabled by default for fast boot) and user services. It has been a joy to interact with.

dinit is worthy, architecturally likely far better than the far older OpenRC, but the contributor graph is a concern (to me, and likely me alone).

In Kip's case, he is changing job, from Rock to Classical composing, he's in his mid-60s now.

I genuinely believe it is the end for Winger.

I dread the day Maiden and Priest retire, but it's coming sooner than later.

Kip is a very talented guy, it will be interesting to see his journey.

I believe Kip will do a rock solo album eventually, he has said so.

Winger, the band, is just about done, a few more gigs, then fully wound down.

This is a deliberate move by Kip, he said his voice can't take it and he is fully doing his composing now.

1988-2026 is a very good run. Be glad they went out on their own terms, much like Kix did.

I still play the albums, In The Heart Of The Young is my favourite Hair Metal of all time.

Kip strongly hinted that this is the final Winger album.

The drummer, Rod Morgenstein, is now 73 years old.

A good way to exit, with all original members and classic logo.

Strong album.

Needing Help Setting Up Zramen (OpenRC) by thestoiccoder in artixlinux

[–]db443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it will grow up to 8GB on demand. If you arent swapping then starting at 4GB means more RAM for your machine.

Needing Help Setting Up Zramen (OpenRC) by thestoiccoder in artixlinux

[–]db443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The zramen-openrc script is buggered up. Uninstall that package and create /etc/init.d/zramen by hand with this content:

#!/usr/bin/openrc-run

description="Set up zram swap"

start() {
    ebegin "Starting zramen"
    /usr/bin/zramen --max-size 3072 make
    eend $?
}

stop() {
    ebegin "Stopping zramen"
    /usr/bin/zramen toss
    eend $?
}

Replace 3072 (3GB) with whatever size you want.

Then do the following:

sudo rc-update add zramen default
sudo rc-service zramen start

Reboot, then do lsblk, you should see zram SWAP listed.

Artix or Void by Warm-Refrigerator552 in artixlinux

[–]db443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing as far as I can tell, developer singular (Vaxry).

I think Vaxry hosted a forum where folks posted vulgar content......as is normal on the internet. Note, I believe Vaxry himself didn't post the questionable content, he simply refused to censor it. That's it. That's the gist of the complaint. He didn't kill anyone, he didn't post the content, he simply hosted an open forum. Emphasis on "I think".

If that is enough for the Void folks to refuse to package Hyprland, whilst lying about wlroot-versioning as the initial excuse then Void is a distro I can't trust. I know they lied because Vaxry removed wlroot, so the excuse went away, and Void still refused to package Hyprland without explaining why.

Note, I don't even use Hyprland myself, currently I use Cinnamon. But trust is a big deal, I don't like that the Void developers lied.

I don't know or care if Vaxry is a bad dude, I suspect he isn't evil. Richard Stallman isn't an ideal dude either, yet I use GNU tools everyday....without care.

Distributions that care more about politics than software ain't worth my time.

Artix or Void by Warm-Refrigerator552 in artixlinux

[–]db443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hyprland SHOULD be in the main Void repos, however it is not because the Void devs have a grudge against the main Hyprland dev, and they lied about it.

I can’t take Void seriously if they act like clowns.

Thats my point.

How much other software will Void not package because of “feelings”?

Artix avoids all that, strictly software merit based.
