I'm getting a 403 error on Kagi when using Mullvad VPN. Can anyone confirm they're blocking VPN users now? I'll immediately cancel my Kagi subscription if this turns out to be the case.

Please don't say Bazzite as I wasn't able to get SteamVR working on it. I'm looking for alternatives. The current plan is to try plain old Ubuntu instead.

Given a hypothetical folder structure like this:

4 directories, 12 files

What's the best way to integrate all the subtitles into the corresponding MKV file?

Someone posted a link to an account marketplace that accepts Monero once to !privacy@lemmy.ml, but the post has been deleted.

(I don't plan anything illicit, I simply can't create an account on these sites when using a VPN and don't want to verify my phone number.)

Well, fuck you, Cooler Master.

As soon as I turned my VPN off I was able to successfully send my RMA request.

It also says "free of installer bundles" while (at least in past, don't know about now) their default windows installer was including ads (source)

P.S.: If you want to disable the in-app ads, here's how to: https://gist.github.com/yunooooo/87564a0293a1c7a53fb3e233a604c638

https://cachyos.org/

CachyOS does compile packages with the x86-64-v3, x86-64-v4 and Zen4 instruction set and LTO to provide a higher performance. Core packages also get PGO or BOLT optimization.

CachyOS utilizes the BORE Scheduler for better interactivity, and offers a variety of scheduler options including EEVDF, sched-ext, ECHO, and RT. All kernels are compiled with optimized x86-64-v3, x86-64-v4, Zen4 instructions and LTO to be optimized for your CPU.

I like the sound of that for my new gaming distro, but I really feel more comfortable in the .deb ecosystem.

Non-goals

Does not have to support the runtime installation of kernel modules. This will prevent the out-of-the-box installation of, for example:

• Proprietary NVIDIA kernel driver (NVIDIA GPUs must either be new enough to use the open-source kernel modules that can be distributed in-tree, or else use Nouveau)
• VirtualBox (requires out-of-tree modules; QEMU/KVM probably do a better job anyway)
• Vendor-specific VPNs that require custom out-of-tree kernel modules that cannot be redistributed with the kernel due to license incompatibility

Does not have to support the use case of developing low-level system components like the kernel, drivers, systemd, etc., as this can be troublesome with an immutable base OS.

Does this part mean there will also be no support for ZFS?

What's your opinion on this board? Is it worthwhile to use as a home server?
