  • I really don't understand the topic well, but I searched the Internet and indeed wind generation is possible. but there is still no solar generation due to too short daylight hours. as for hydroelectric power plants, they are already around. I did not think that they are considered green, given that they require flooding of huge territories.

    UPD: also, for any large wind generation, forests will most likely have to be cut down.

  • Where should the energy for electric vehicles come from? of course, I understand that living somewhere in Europe, you can talk about wind turbines, solar panels and everything green. But if you live in a region where, if the heating is turned off, you can freeze to death in less than a day, you start looking at wind turbines and solar panels with irony.

    And I don't really understand, besides, how exactly replacing some energy emissions in random places with other emissions in random places will greatly help to cool the planet.

  • I recommend kyocera. maybe you'll say, "man, you can buy 4 inkjet for the price of ecosys", but on the other hand, you bought a ecosys and you can fill it with toner just from a balloon until the drum unit wears out.

  • Try running top and see the global cpu/mem statistics when loading images. Look at what a high-load process is. Check that docker is not installed via snap.

  • Do I need to allow docker to use more than 6 GB?

    Check exactly how much RAM NextCloud daemons are used. How much CPU used?

    In general, it looks like an overload that occurs when NextCloud starts processing newly loaded files.

  • Unfortunately, everyone's choice of one server will lead to centralization again. Therefore, it is much better to sort at least the top 5 servers and select them randomly in applications by default.

    UPD: In addition, it will distribute the load on several nodes, which will have a good effect on performance.

  • Or none at all and Lemmy could just allow for exporting your private key to use elsewhere.

    That mean that user AND server administrator will control user wallet. You think that a great idea when anyone, anywhere can create instance? I think this will lead to centralization.

    Cryptocurrency, like any financial transactions, requires serious security. Much more serious than the servers deployed for posting memes can provide. There is no need to combine incompatible things.

  • I think it's about advertising. it's very corny, but it's true. if mastodon/lemmy had the same advertising power as Facebook/Twitter, then there would be comparable results.

  • Просто зависит от настроек pict-rs демона на конкретном сервере. Если там шакалы сплошные и всё пережимается по 10 раз то конечно.

  • Хм?

  • You have one GPU card? If yes you need some additional hooks (kill DE sessions, stop X, etc). Look here: https://github.com/joeknock90/Single-GPU-Passthrough .

    UPD: Sorry. I read the reddit post. So you pass through single GPU. You load GPU bios when Windows load?

    In general, such a configuration will be quite complicated, but if you want to try, show the VM configuration and the start hook. Without this not easy to say.

  • qbittorrent-nox with web ui. I think that not bad choise.

  • ubuntu mate is a good choice for a beginner, but if your computer is old enough, the system may slow down. This is due to the fact that snap images are slowly decompressed on older processors. You can try Linux Mint too.

    About the software. The main thing is to accept the fact that not all Windows applications have analogues on Linux. some people actually make such a mistake. no need to try to install wine and migrate literally every exe file. Look at the software specifically for linux.

    The default browser is firefox. But you can install chrome or chromium without any problems. There is OBS studio for linux for streaming. For games, you can put lutris. There is also an official steam client. if the game has an anti-cheat and this anti-cheat is not optimized for linux, you will not be able to play it.

  • I don't deny that systemd is easier than SysV. I say that on complex configurations it is not slightly simpler. Moreover, what I could do just in the sysV script, I now have to divide by tmpfiles.d and systemd. And sometimes even include processing both there and there, because depending on the version systemd has different behavior with parameters LogsDirectory= and RuntimeDirectory=. As a result, the dependence on the system has not completely disappeared for the package maintainer. Although of course there are a little less problems with systemd.

    On other side as a user, I don't really like to guess exactly how a folder was created in /run, via tmpfiles or via systemd.

    UPD: On SysV I have one complex, heavy script. Now I have the systemd service, the tmpfiles configuration, the /etc/conf.d parameters file and there is still a shell script to run. But if user wants reconfig something he need look 4 files instead one.

  • Right. But on something more complicated than initializing the usual daemon, systemd has all the same problems. For example, if you have a java application and you want to dynamically manage java parameters and application parameters, the script will look like a pain. something like bash -c 'java ...' or you will have to call a separate script in the initiator. And then to turn off the shell and switch to the application itself, there will be a whole adventure with pid generation.

    But sure systemd really more easy then system V.

  • can't you replace UNIX applications in user space? Why, besides the fact that some simply have nothing to replace?

  • you do know what the linux kernel is, right?

    I know that the core is monolithic.

    In the end your distro packager decided to not split systemd into different packages

    I installed these services myself, not all of them, of course, but those that I listed at the end. I know about the rest simply because I prefer to read the documentation for the services I work with. I'm not particularly happy with the systemd system as a whole. however, since there is no better alternative, the choice is small.
