True one can install it on Mint. But at that level, just

  • install Kubuntu
  • add timeshift
  • run unsnap (removes snap, installs flatpak and flathub, installs apps as flatpaks)
  • add the new official deb repo for Firefox
  • remove a possibly installed Firefox Flatpak (has missing sandboxing) and install with apt

Pretty cool!

Android and ChromeOS both also just use fuse for userspace (and user-files) encryption. This could totally be used too.

But of course, if something is not on your RAM it is not safe

So how do you decrypt the LUKS vault when you have no sshd running as that thing is not up yet?

As a German... Nutella is crap. There are way better brands.

mPCIe to SATA cable? (slrpnk.net)
submitted 3 weeks ago by boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net to c/pcmasterrace@lemmy.world
6 comments fedilink

I got a Turris Omnia Router, which I want to use as a NAS.

I also really like SATA SSDs, they are abundant (I have too many), never overheat (take that, NVME crap) etc.

The router is pretty tight, a SATA SSD fits in, but I need a cable to have the adapter 90° and a bit upwards.

Now I wonder, what adapter do I need? On AliExpress I find one with 1 or 2 SATA connections, 1 is probably best for sanity and reliability.

This one looks more sketchy, as it has 2 SATA sockets.

AMD takes down NVIDIA-CUDA replacement for Intel GPUs. What? (www.youtube.com)
submitted 1 month ago by boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net to c/linux@programming.dev
13 comments fedilink

The developer wants to continue the project from the codebase before they used the AMD ROCM code.

Previously, it allowed to run CUDA apps on Intel GPUs (integrated I think) and beat OpenCL in performance.

Linux on X Elite laptops (early development) (www.youtube.com)

He has an ASUS laptops, one of the only ones you can get, got Arch on there.

The devices are not even shipped for the most part, people are booting Windows, using the ACPI dump to build the device trees.

Then those need to be upstreamed into the kernel, drivers need to be written.

Its not Asahi Linux, but still hard.

But there is progress, quite fast!

I have no idea why Mozilla doesnt show this theme.

I use Breeze Dark, as I am a simple guy :)

But the "Breeze Dark" Theme on AMO (firefox insider name for addons.mozilla.org :D) is just wrong?

So I created my own one, with the Addon "Firefox Color" and the Plasma Color-Picker.

Enjoy!
