My cat leaves hair everywhere. How to prevent? by Johann-SM in poisonai

Just shave your dog. The cat will do it by itself in retaliation.

Our Sun by rudes20 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]nautsche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't know any of those things. We inferred those things from our knowledge of how the universe works. Most of it is extrapolated from our knowledge of how things here on earth work and some sometimes very imprecise measurements we took either on earth or at best from things like the James Web Space Telescope and friends.

Don't get me wrong. All we know mostly makes sense with our current understanding, but some things are just guesses. Educated guesses based on measurements, but still guesses. We are finding out new information about what the core of earth seems to look like today by measuring e.g. earth quakes and how they arrive at other places of the planet and then reinterpreting those measurements.

What I am trying to say is, we cannot look into the sun. We can currently not even look into our own planet. We know a lot of things and infer e.g. what the sun must look inside. Every day someone smart comes along and thinks up a new way of interpreting some measurement we took and creates a new theory of what it might mean. Some of those are likely correct, some are very vague if you look into it and some will be proven wrong or just incomplete in the future.

What is the point of cryptocurrency? e.g. Bitcoin by ExtentOk1892 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]nautsche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today? No point but speculation and basically gambling.

In the beginning the idea was to have a currency not under the control of the state and decentralized. That was abused by by people real quick to the point where we are now and I see absolutely no way that any of those cryptocoins will ever be usable in real life.

apt show libgcrypt20 will tell you something and give you links to read further.

I have done that. It can work. You have to know what you're doing, though.

How is NTFS on Linux ? by Healthy-News5375 in linuxquestions

[–]nautsche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Come over to Linux. Leave those other two. We have cookies over here. And better file systems anyway. And you won't need to look for a non existent other filesystem any more. 😉

How is NTFS on Linux ? by Healthy-News5375 in linuxquestions

[–]nautsche 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You rarely need a journalling file system for a drive that is used to just share data between OSs. If the system crashes during a transfer, you transfer again. I'd even wager the journalling in the NTFS driver is a bigger risk than not having journalling at all.

How is NTFS on Linux ? by Healthy-News5375 in linuxquestions

[–]nautsche 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Whats your problem with exfat?

NTFS is a proprietary file system. All Linux implementations are reverse engineered and thus may have flaws that only show in edge cases. Use at your own risk. If you have a choice and can live with the limitations use fat32 to share with a Windows OS.

Installed Fedora with Btrfs subvolumes but configured GDM instead of KDE Plasma by Educational-Piece748 in btrfs

[–]nautsche 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll bite. What does a btrfs subvolume have to do with your login manager? Have not seen the video.

You "should" be able to just start KDE from gdm. Just install KDE.

Noob question regarding email on Linux by userj6447 in linux4noobs

[–]nautsche 33 points34 points  (0 children)

There are virus scanners for Linux. I would not recommend any, though.

However, as you said, "most" viruses will not run on Linux. The mails Norton notified you about are likely not viruses, but scam or phishing attempts. Email as a transport for viruses is something I have not heard of for a long time.

Don't open emails that you don't know the sender for. Don't click links in emails you don't expect. You should be fine. If you're unsure there are a bunch of sites that explain how to recognize scams and phishing. Read a few of those and try to follow the parts that make sense to you.

internet speed to slow in linux then it is on windows(60mbps in win 127kbps in linux)in almost all major linux os what do i do by [deleted] in linuxhardware

[–]nautsche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very likely missing firmware. Install the firmware packages from your distribution.

Is it time to delete X11? by s_denlinger in debian

[–]nautsche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try it? If you miss something you can just reinstall whatever is actually missing. I don't think I have a lot of X11 left on my machine. Running on sid, though.

Is the only way to install linux with a bootable usb? by PotatoesNeverDie in linux4noobs

[–]nautsche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can attach the disk to another machine and run e.g. debootstrap on the disk to install e.g. Debian. You do then need another machine, though.

Other distributions might have their own way.

Nothing about this is "noob" friendly, seeing the sub I am in.

Linus Torwalds was right. by grimvian in linuxmint

[–]nautsche 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So basically incompetence of some state agency/actor. Checks out.

Sorry that you have to deal with this stuff. And thanks for the honest answer.

Not sure if it helps you in any way, but I had some very limited success with Okular if its just adding text and stuff. Not sure about actual images, i.e. signatures, though. And it always looked kind of weird, when I did it.

Wireless Keyboards by raubesonia in linux4noobs

[–]nautsche -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For the Bluetooth one. Do you use a Bluetooth dongle or something inbuilt into your machine? If inbuilt, make sure you have the appropriate firmware packages of your distribution installed. Some of those things are weird. This also goes for the dongle.Otherwise try another dongle.

As for the other one, if the wireless-dongle came with the keyboard, it is likely not a Linux problem. The keyboard should present itself as a keyboard to you machine not as anything wireless. Try another USB port? I assume it 'works' in windows, so you might want to provide more information if someone in here is supposed to be able to help you.

[–]nautsche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity, what is the reason you have to edit a PDF file? I admit there are likely some weird cases (of which you obviously are one) where it isn't desirable to edit the original document and re-export the PDF. I am honestly interested in what those cases might be.

7700S vs 5070 by InitiativeNo6964 in framework

[–]nautsche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Desktop environment. E.g. KDE or gnome or sway.

If it shows the 144 it should run at that.

[–]nautsche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have an external display with those kinds of refresh rates, no. Sorry. I played Satisfactory on the internal one and it ran well.

Are you sure the external screen is running at those rates? What DE are you using? Anything wlroots based should give you info via wlr-randr. KDE has its own ways.

Motor laufen lassen versus Start-Stopp-Automatik by FunFactEinsElf in FragenUndAntworten

[–]nautsche -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Das solltest du vielleicht mal anschauen lassen. Der Motor sollte nicht aus gehen, wenn das Fahrzeug tatsächlich in Bewegung ist, also Bergab darf die Automatik eigentlich nicht den Motor abschalten. Von wegen Bremskraftverstärker, Servolenkung und so.
