If you have an Apple computer and are willing to download some code there’s period underground… it’s terribly written by me for my wife. She uses it on her iPhone and it keeps all data local. I never tried to get it on the App Store due to qt licenses, and because the encryption module didn’t compile so it will rely on you not unlocking your device for someone who shouldn’t be seeing the data. There’s other options I’ve seen on here hopefully one of those will work.
It does exist on the android store with encryption as an option and blank data with no warning if you enter the wrong password. Also includes a quick delete and a quick delete with random data written into the database as deletion options
Correction I guess update didn’t change the build number… thanks steam for making sense. The bottom half of what I wrote should still help. I’d try switching to prieview (or stable assuming you’re on beta) and forcing an is update that way then switching back to what you want. SteamOS has gotten a lot better since day 1 but for the occasional issue this has almost always seemed to work for me
Build 20230508.1 is out of date. Under settings->system the top two buttons should be “check for updates” and then under the beta participation header “System Update Channel”. I’m on the same build and system update channel shows “stable”, with an upgrade available when I checked.
If yours doesn’t show one available, the system update channel has 3 options:
Stable
Beta
Preview
Pick the one above what it’s set to now to try and force an update. As a note, preview is likely to be unstable. Even if it fixes it I’d recommend going back to one of the other two options, it’ll “update” again and reboot after that.
My best guess is that flathub/its ssl dependency may have somehow been corrupted and forcing it to reinstall the app through updates should fix it.
What version of steamOS are you running (stable, beta)? Has this been an issue across more than one update? Something seems wrong with the network/driver on this. A while back I had issues with discover not actually writing to the disk at more than a few Kb/s. There’s a few things you can try:
Switch update channel to force and update. You can switch to beta from stable and retest. If this fixes it but you want to stay on stable switch the branch back to force another update back,
Hold I think it was volume minus and power to reach the boot menu from powered off. Try it on both boot options to see if the current boot partition has a bad file on it or something.
every company I’ve worked for has a separate pool for each. The usually has been maybe ~5 sick days and 1-4 weeks of vacation based on seniority. The issue is for anything worse than say one good cold a year those sick days aren’t good for much so you either have to use vacation to cover the gap or just lose pay. Things like pregnancy you get Fmla time but that is unpaid so you either burn vacation days or just don’t get paid for say post pregnancy recovery or cancer treatments etc. any European countries in desperate need of truck dispatchers?
They also seem to congregate on FreeBSD… it’s my preferred os but eventually it’s going to bite them seeing how most new server apps (including lemmy) seem to rely on it!
Having said that they have Firefox 115 running fine without any system level wrappers so not sure why he’d be having issues on a non-systemd os if the FreeBSD Firefox maintainer can figure it out.
That's a good point. I run all my server type apps on FreeBSD which avoids dependency issues by versioning things that aren't compatible. for instance you can install php7.4 or 8.1 as packages php74/php81 and different things that require those are compiled to look for the right library. I kinda wish linux would consider the same thing but idk if individual distro maintainers would want that kind of extra work
not really no. Docker can make it easier to set up weird network configurations or in some cases make updating things easier but if what you have is working and fits your needs there's not really anything you're missing out on.
I’ve used an image upscaling on a 3060ti with 8 gigs of vram. It works ok, but does limit how much it can do at one time. Long as you’re ok with letting it run longer I’d imagine it would work on a text mode as wel
Technically Citrix if you want to spend the fortune it’ll cost to use it. Parallels on macOS also does this but after that I’m fresh out of ideas. It’s not a common feature unfortunately
Nextcloud is fantastic for this especially with their desktop app!
For app settings I run pretty much everything in a container (FreeBSD jail) that can be zipped and exported easily that way. Our NAS files go to two external hard drives with rsync. One for local in house backup and one I leave at my work desk for off site backup of anything I can’t replace like the photos my wife’s taken over the last two decades.
I’m late to the party but windows Vista forced me off of windows. Not 5 minutes into setting up a new laptop and it told me even after clicking yes for admin privileges that I didn’t have the right to uninstall mcafee… I threw Debian on the laptop and never looked back. Ended up running FreeBSD for years on that thing and have mostly stuck with them since.
For Linux as others have stated lack of crashes and clear ways to customize/fix things was incredible.
FreeBSD doesn’t support all the newer standards yet (looking at you wifi6), but it is beyond rock stable. A month plus of 24/7 uptime between reboots for years and it’s just as snappy as when I first installed it. And even better they push hard to keep things more or less the same. The things I learned setting up FreeBSD 8.0 are still the same for FreeBSD 13. The biggest changes have been upgraded hardware support and quality of life tools that interact with the systems I was already using.
As a note FreeBSD does not come with a graphical interface. They have imo the best manual (handbook) for setting it up and getting going, and have native zfs for software raid arrays.
My risky two cents here is FreeBSD is great for learning all the ins and outs of Unix-like systems but is missing some things linux users take for granted like docker for servers (they use jails you set up yourself) and no cuda libraries for ai. If you have the time and want to learn how these systems operate from the ground up I find it’s better than arch. Easier to install, no compiling everything like gentoo, and an incredibly clean manual that has always made sense and worked exactly as expected. For just getting a desktop and easing into things there’s also nothing wrong with say Linux mint or any of the other recommendations others have said either.
The glory of Unix-like systems is they’re yours, and once you get used to how they run they’ll be rock steady for years and run faster than windows on the same device.
It's some sort of weird percentage once you get past a certain number. I'm fuzzy on the numbers but 1.2k upvotes shown on the website was worth a different amount than actual. Something like 1.5k = 1.2k upvotes for your personal karma.
Well dang it’s been a while since I tried it then! I keep hearing how it’s unstable in comments so I tend to assume its fairly new even when I should know better lol
That’s true if everything is supported on the current kernel. I might just be very out of touch/date here but is btrfs built in to the kernel? I was thinking he’d need to have a different kernel/loaded modules on it
Is this mostly for fileserving or apps? If you’re using it as a Fileserver share the relevant parts of the ssd while you rsync all of it over to help ease downtime.
You can also install the nvme through a virtual machine and pass /dev/nvme_whatever to the vm. Then rsync everything over using ssh then reboot the whole machine using the nvme drive for the os (make sure to use UEFI for the vm on kvm).
For apps kinda the same vm deal leave the ssd up and configure the nvme install as needed then copy whatever data you need over before rebooting.
It’s more convoluted to do it that way but it will reduce downtime
The amount of changes you’d need to make to get Linux to boot on a different partition format and drive would be a lot of work. It would be much faster to install a new copy of Linux to the nvme drive and copy the files from the ssd post install before decommissioning the old drive.
