  • Odroid has both ARM and Intel boards in their lineup

  • If Jellyfin would do such stupid thing, somebody would fork it to a new project
    in fact this did already happened in the past: Jellyfin was forked of Emby after they changed their license

  • Unity includes telemetry for some time
    I believe you can't actually disable the telemetry (or Unity intro logo) in the "free" version

  • additionally you don't need to jump across several hops to flash custom roms on Pixel phones (or tablets)
    it's easy as using a web browser

    meanwhile custom roms on Xiaomi or Samsung are a huge pita to setup and require almost shady looking korean or chinese (windows) applications

  • I only ever used 7b large language models on my RX 6950 XT but PyTorch had or still has some nasty AMD VRAM bugs which didn't fully utilized all of my VRAM (more like only a quarter of it)

    it seems the sad truth is high performance/training of models are just not good on AMD cards as of now

  • You probably want to use the amd driver out of the box on your linux distro + ROCm instead of whatever AMD gives you as a driver download on their landing page

    Gaming wise the AMD card would win in rasterization performance but PyTorch is made for CUDA (Nvidia only) first instead of OpenCL/HID (which AMD uses)
    I couldn't get my AMD card to run reliable in half-precision (16fp) which actually hurts performance A LOT in comparison to no-half or 32fp

    interestingly enough setting up AMD cards on Linux with ROCm is actually easier compared to Windows

    anyway my experience is mostly stable difussion and some early gpt4all stuff but oobabooga uses PyTorch too so its probably similar

  • there is no way you are missing udev
    Arch Linux (and Manjaro) have it inside the systemd package (which you already has as stated from pacman Paketänderungen werden verarbeitet … (1/1) Reinstalliert wird systemd )

    the thing you are probably is missing are android specific udev rules
    Arch Linux has them inside the package android-udev but I don't really know if Manjaro does the same
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Android_Debug_Bridge#Usage
    try to connect your phone via adb before you try anything with Godot or Android Studio for that matter

    Ich würde dir aber empfehlen vorher mal einen Neustart zu machen, es fehlen wohl kernel modules bei dir (?) was wohl auf ein Kernel update ohne kernel modules reload (oder noch einfacher: ein Neustart) schließt

  • I did install the driver from AMDs website but otherwise I’m pretty much at a loss.

    thats actually your first issue, don't do that if you want to use it for gaming
    the amd driver included in your linux kernel out of the box is already the best option for gaming

    anyway checkout https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl
    which allows you to restrain the power usage (which is probably your issue?) and/or underclock the GPU
    you can run Corectrl at boot so it automatically applies its settings

  • Actually you might see performance loss with custom kernel
    typically they "sacrifice" peak performance for more "snappier" applications

    this is more notable on older/slower CPUs

  • if your goal is to automate your home (or lab, or work place) I also would highly recommend Home Assistant but I hesitated to recommend it anyone since OP didn't really explained what they actually want to with it

    i.e. if your goal is automate rss feeds and notifications than Home Assistant ist just completely overkill for this task

  • you can automate some parts of that away or can be combined
    most AUR helper will basically invoke pacman -Syu internally before actually upgrading any AUR package (as otherwise this can lead to issues)
    yay in particular can just be called via yay (no arguments) which is an alias of yay -Syu

    Point 3: reflector.timer comes with reflector now and runs weekly by default, you need to configure and enable it though
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Reflector#systemd_timer

    Point 4: you can restrict the journal size to much smaller than it is by default (10% of the partition size OR maximum 4 GB): https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd/Journal#Journal_size_limit
    or alternativly set MaxRetentionSec to 2419200 seconds (4 weeks)

    Point 5: can be done via pacman hook automatically after every upgrade
    example: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pacman-cleanup-hook

    there are also many other useful pacman hooks which tell you if there are any orphans or if AUR packages need to be rebuild or there is a hook which reload kernel modules after a kernel upgrade (which otherwise would warrant a reboot unless you are ready for the issues of many unloaded kernel modules)

  • Node-Red is probably your best bet
    it's functional with a lot of plugins available as well as relatively easy due to the "flow" workflow

    one other command mentioned Home Assistant but even among the Home Assistant community there are quite some people using Node-Red together with Home Assistant to achieve their goals

  • The only real world advantage that crypto seems to have over other currencies is that it is both difficult to trace and it is digital.

    most crypto currencies (excluding Monero) are easier to trace than fiat money since every transaction is public to anyone as long as you know the public key (address)
    relying on "Mixer" services require are third party in hope they don't actually sell you out and most crypto exchanges have kyc implemented by law

  • the biggest difference to Windows gaming is that for Windows games on Linux played via Proton every game gets its own Proton/Wine prefix (basically a windows folder structure)
    ifyou want to use mod manager you need to run them inside the game specific proton prefix

    Steam Tinker Launcher simplify this process

  • sure, Steam workshop works even identical
    otherwise the game data paths are different

  • alternative youtube frontends like Invidious, Newpipe or Freetube (Desktop) keep their own watch history without letting google know

  • btw. m.lemmy.world uses Voyager (also available as app)

  • for PC there is also Freetube and Invidious
