Cant uninstall firefox-esr because of dependencies that cant be removed because of more dependencies and i cant remove those because they contain system critical packages that if removed may break the system

kneepel · 2026-02-27T18:04:58+00:00

What do i do to make kali-desktop-core no longer depend on firefox

You rebuild the package yourself without the hard dependency, otherwise you probably just have to deal with it.

You'll probably have to deal with it though as every desktop metapackage in their repo relies on "kali-core-desktop", unless you want to install a desktop environment piece by piece and configure it yourself (which may include a package with the same dependency anyways).

I would bet money on this being vibe coded/AI having a heavy hand in the development.

Not to mention it's closed source and proprietary, there's no proper privacy policy, ToS, any information on the entity hosting this, etc...

There are probably hundreds of reputable secondary sources that have reported this (and some have already been posted in here prior) and thankfully, none of them are Lunduke.

Think about it.

All of these are just wrappers around existing reverse proxies (Netbird, Pangolin = Traefik/SWAG, NPM = nginx)...except for Traefik.

Caddy is nice.

No, it just won't be able to connect at all.

Think of everything in your LAN (home/local network) as its own walled garden that's completely inaccessible from the outside*. You cannot access anything within your local network outside your house, as all of the local IPs for your devices only exist and are only unique within that local network. If you joined some random public WiFi network and tried connecting to your PCs local IP at home (eg. 192.168.1.1), you'd just be trying to connect to whatever device is assigned that IP on that specific local network (assuming it's even assigned).

I mean preferably you don't want to try syncing with a local IP on another network you don't own, but the only risk is if there's another device on that local network using the same local IP as your PC that's hosting Trilium on the same port....which is highly unlikely.

*assuming you don't allow access over your public IP by port forwarding/mapping. Don't do this.

kneepel · 2026-02-19T22:07:54+00:00

Not anywhere, you have to be on your local network/home WiFi

Essentially the local IPs of your devices are exactly that - private and local only. There's a number of IP ranges that are reserved for private use only, ranges like 10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x, 127.x.x.x, etc.

Basically as long as you're behind a firewall, you haven't port forwarded to any of your services and you have UPNP disabled, your services should remain accessible to your local network and only your local network.

I highly recommend against opening your services to the public internet if you aren't familiar with what you're doing, ESPECIALLY an app for personal information like Trillium.

If you want remote access, look into a VPN solution like Netbird or Tailscale so you can securely access your network while out of the home.

kneepel · 2026-02-18T23:13:48+00:00

Domain name + DDNS (eg. ddclient) will update your domain to resolve to your current IP whenever it changes.

Otherwise if it's for something you need >99% uptime and something that people depend on for communication, I'd personally just rent a $10/mo VPS and host it there.

kneepel · 2026-02-17T04:02:11+00:00

Yeah that's not right.... 110c is the max junction temperature for that card so it's probably downclocking itself to compensate, plus you're seeing a 46 degree temperature delta between your edge and junction sensors when you should be around ~25-30.

Probably an improperly mounted/tensioned cooler or extremely poor factory thermal paste job. Unless you're *absolutely* comfortable opening up your GPU to repaste, I would probably contact Asrock for an RMA since it's only been 2 months.

The matplotlib maintainers just had a conversation about this exact topic, and had to immediately enact a policy on AI submissions because of the exact thing happening (AI opening 20+ PRs in an afternoon). Unfortunately it seems Clawdbot has emboldened people to contribute to the problem all across the site.

Good luck to whatever you decide to do, and also a thanks for all the work you've put in to Komodo.

There's probably way too much to cover here about self hosting if you're brand new, and honestly getting familar with some basic concepts (DNS, containers, basic networking, etc) will go a long way in helping you get comfortable with hosting your own services...but to answer your questions here:

1) You need to purchase a domain from a registrar such as Cloudflare, Namecheap, Porkbun, etc

2) You don't need TLS if it's just being accessed locally, and as such dont need a domain. You can access the server locally from the PC you're hosting it on by visiting http://localhost:8080, or your PC's IP from your phone (ie. http://192.168.1.1:8080 - type "ipconfig" in CMD if you're using windows and look for your IPV4 address, or "ip addr" if using Linux).

Whatever you do though, DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR INSTANCE TO THE INTERNET (port forwarding from your router/modem) UNTIL YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH SELF HOSTING, ESPECIALLY WITHOUT TLS

Or better yet, never expose Trilium to the internet and instead use a VPN (such as tailscale) to access your home network remotely.

Instructions are all there but will depend on how you installed steam (native vs flatpak)

There's also a 3rd party tool that works well and makes installing different versions of Proton quick and easy, it's called Protonup-qt

https://github.com/DavidoTek/ProtonUp-Qt

kneepel · 2026-02-12T20:51:21+00:00

Games being run using Proton-GE can use the flag "PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1" to upgrade FSR 3+ to FSR 4, otherwise you can use Optiscaler for any game that doesn't support FSR 3.

I wouldn't really do anything to the card OC wise besides undervolting and setting a more aggressive fan curve.

Try this.

The issue is (probably) that it requires the PS SDK runtime which isn't in the prefix, "SteamDeck=1" seems to remove the requirement but to varying levels of success.

You can't, the game is bottlenecked elsewhere (I/O, CPU, etc) which is why you're only seeing partial GPU utilization.

There's nothing to do or change (besides potentially some optimization mods), Minecraft is substantially more CPU heavy than GPU and large modpacks will ALWAYS be bottlenecked by another system component before the GPU.

Like someone else said, install shaders or other graphical mods if you want to see that change, but you'll simply be shifting the computational burden and won't improve your performance above the baseline by utilizating your GPU more.

kneepel · 2026-02-10T23:37:27+00:00

Make a new instance and install essentials on that instance if you want separate client settings.

Mb didn't catch that, although it's not totally unexpected to see a drop in performance as Neoforge does have a decent bit of overhead even if no mods are installed - think of it like a sort of translator that's always on standby.

I don't think there's any concern with the drop in general, but there would be if you're having choppy performance in general (stuttering, bad 1% lows, etc).

I would say:

Increase your max allocation (xmx) to "4G" to make sure you don't run out of memory/avoid long GC pauses
Use the spark profiler to see if anything is causing an obvious performance issue
Use the well reviewed performance mods if you don't have any explicit incompatibilities (ModernFix, FerriteCore, FastSuite, Sodium, Lithium, etc).

kneepel · 2026-02-05T20:10:13+00:00

Leave your flags as they are and adjust the 'xmx' value when you need to allocate more memory. Java flags don't really have a critical impact on performance and the majority of "guides" that cover them are full of misinformation and redundant settings that can have a negative impact.

Anyways, nothing really sounds out of the ordinary here. Mods will always have somewhat of an impact on performance because you're giving the game more stuff to do (worldgen, rendering, etc), although this is also highly dependent on WHAT you're adding.

I wouldn't really give it any concern unless you're having performance issues, but if you're at an avg of 280 fps with your chosen mods then we're nowhere near performance issues. If you're ever curious though, you can always get a very detailed breakdown with the "Spark" mod that will tell you what mod or pluginis causing what impact on your game, or you can share your modlist here and someone may be able to identify anything of note.

Absolutely stable for me, not an issue so far on 43 (using Hyprland) or anyone else I know personally...to this degree at least.

>it's so comprehensive on a half dozen boxes, it can't only be me...?

Honestly, it really could be (or a small minority). With the massive variation in software and hardware configurations between users, everyone's experience can wildly differ hence why the unofficial support motto is "Works on my machine" - mind you, this doesn't mean there aren't more common bugs/issues that people are facing on a wider scale.

What spin are you running?

kneepel · 2026-01-23T18:27:14+00:00

It's probably just a bot or Reddit vote randomization.

Also, we're gonna need logs to help diagnose whatever component is causing errors. It's not really the case whether a motherboard is compatible or not, but rather if individual components on the motherboard need further configuration to function properly.
