I use mythtv (FOSS) and it's fine as a PVR (schedule, record and playback broadcast TV) with a SiliconDust HDHomeRun network-attached tuner. It also has playback for downloaded files but I prefer to use mpv for that. Mine is still connected to the internet and I use firefox/transmission for youtube and other functions.

No idea about plex or jellyfin.

voidlinux still has the 390 drivers available. I'm sure others do too:

[-] nvidia390-390.157_6 NVIDIA drivers (GeForce 400, 500 series) - Libraries and Utilities [-] nvidia390-dkms-390.157_6 NVIDIA drivers (GeForce 400, 500 series) - DKMS kernel module [-] nvidia390-gtklibs-390.157_6 NVIDIA drivers (GeForce 400, 500 series) - GTK+ libraries [-] nvidia390-libs-390.157_6 NVIDIA drivers (GeForce 400, 500 series) - common libraries [-] nvidia390-opencl-390.157_6 NVIDIA drivers (GeForce 400, 500 series) - OpenCL implementation

I've been saying this for 30+ years, but no-one wanted to listen.

BTW - thanks for Mistral. Another tool in the box!

Quite right!

You need to take it all (AI or internet searches) with a huge pinch of salt. Even ye olde text books were not infallible and often out of date, so sodium chloride was also required even then.

The code either works or it doesn't - it's all in the testing. If you deploy AI suggestions without thought you deserve the consequences.

I followed up on github as you suggested and a very nice young man took a look at it and said that the code already does work the right way (at least the way I and their little poll think it should work). But, it turns out that the fix (from 2021) has not been deployed - it's to be in the next release.

So I don't know what will happen now - I'll continue to use my workaround, so I'm happy enough.

thanks!

It might be more expected for you but I'm going to differ.

for an article (or a link to a image), it takes you there instead.

... and then you can't get to the discussion.

The RSS-2.0 definition of is

The URL to the HTML website corresponding to the channel.

so clearly, it should point to the lemmy post. No other RSS feed that I know of has this problem.

Fortunately, emacs can flex around this, but duh! Where can I raise a bug report?

Another approach entirely is to use pam_mount(8) which can automatically mount a disc on login. I use it to mount /home/$USER (obviously this couldn't be used to mount the root fs !!)

waypipe - yes. But also wayvnc - I've been using wayvnc for a couple of years to export a headless wayland session from a file server. FOr my sins I use vncviewer on XWayland to consume it as it still seems to be the fastest.

If you want to try living without systemd, take a look at voidlinux - it uses runit instead. I made the jump from Fedora recently and I love it! Linux is once again the unix system I loved for 40+ years - it's rational, easy to understand and just works! As an added bonus, I do believe I get about 50% more life out of the battery (less busy-work going on?). What do I miss from systemd? Nothing really.

I've just bounced into voidlinux and I'm very impressed by how complete* it is and how snappy. So that's not a very objective measure, but my (old) battery life has jumped from 1.5h on fedora-38 to 2h+ under void (very similar workload). I think that's an indication of how light-on the hardware the OS is - perhaps it's because it's not running systemd. If you're looking to squeeze more out of your hardware, take a look at void!

* the only thing missing from my manifest is mythtv - firefox, libreoffice, emacs syncthing etc and it's all the latest
