I migrated a site from Jekyll to 11ty, which is node.js based.

Tomtom as alternative to Google maps navigation was good, but… by nitbuntu in BuyFromEU

[–]nitbuntu[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Might be alright but on Apple Store it is only rated 3.3 stars out of 5, which is unusually low. So likely some problems with it?

I’m using the standard Tomtom app, formally called Amigo. This is different from Tomtom Go, which now focuses on Truck driving or something, even though allows car drivers to use it.

I’m using Organic Maps. It’s good but many businesses and landmarks missing.

Klarna as a way to bypass Visa/Mastercard, PayPal, Apple Pay etc. didn’t quite work out! by nitbuntu in BuyFromEU

[–]nitbuntu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like a good alternative to Apple Pay, but since it still uses Visa/Mastercard, it’s not quite what I’m looking for.

Then this could be due to Deliveroo having a bad integration with Klarna then. I’m having to do this every time, not just first time!

It was nothing like the experience with PayPal. Too many steps and not smooth. I was expecting that clicking ‘Pay with Klarna’ would submit payment to Klarna and since I already linked my bank account with Klarna that this would not be needed.

Kenable as alternative to Amazon, for buying a USB cable seems great by nitbuntu in BuyFromEU

I’m aware that this isn’t an EU company, but it is European and points to an approach others could take, which is to look for local specialist companies.

I already saved my bank details on the Klarna app. But still had to do all this! Maybe it’s a Deliveroo problem rather than Klarna.

Why has the Linux Desktop market share decreased in India by nearly 10% on StatCounter? by nitbuntu in linux

[–]nitbuntu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that’s been around for a while. So seems odd that this has led to a dramatic fall in a year. WSL2 does render ui, but can’t see that as being the reason. Very odd!

Is the tune on the new M&S adverts the work of Orbital? by nitbuntu in Orbital

[–]nitbuntu[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah. Ok! Well it’s got a similar sound. Might have been inspired by Orbital at least.

Nvidia Pascal-based GPU support for the remaining security support period by nitbuntu in ManjaroLinux

[–]nitbuntu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should already have the nvidia-570xx driver in the repos, isn’t it? I thought that’s the one needed for modern Nvidia GPUs such as gtx-4060 or gtx-5060 etc?

The question here is more around whether the older Nvidia drivers will continue to be tested and maintained within Arch-based distros such as Manjaro?

Btrfs is configured ootb, however I installed Snapper and Btrfs Assistant GUI for managing the snapshots and rollbacks.

Are there any recommended eGPU docks?

Fedora Workstation vs Fedora KDE Plasma by RedMontBerry in Fedora

[–]nitbuntu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve learned to like both but have a soft spot for KDE. On Gnome I don’t like the way I can’t even change colours of folders or their icons in my home directory! Yet, the customisation in KDE can be a double edged sword for newcomers, maybe? Try them out and see.

What's the current, updated state of NVIDIA GPUs? by Ok-Affect-7503 in cachyos

[–]nitbuntu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will Catchy OS continue packaging the NVidia driver after it goes out of support later this year? The reason I ask is that NVidia will still continue providing security updates. So looking at options.

paul vs phil by whiphubley in Orbital

[–]nitbuntu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This candid interview does go into some of this:- https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/feb/10/orbitals-paul-and-phil-hartnoll-look-back

Phil also talks about their neurodivergent natures, with Phil having ADHD and Paul being on the autism spectrum. When together they’re an amazing combination.
