If you use the barebones one, then you’re actually using Arch 😉

Awesome!

The Danctnix thing I presume, not really Arch in the true sense 😉

But good to hear! Make sure to report the bugs you encounter so they can be fixed!

Nice, we don’t encounter many people daily driving it. What distro do you use?

Yes it was, we were working on restoring it. It’s back up now.

You live in a climate that’s not supposed to be that warm (not as long and as often as it is nowadays anyway), and is supposed to be rainy, windy and cold. Rather than hoping the climate will change I would recommend you look into moving somewhere south where the climate is naturally warmer.

The current heat waves are a sign of climate change, and it’s nothing to be celebrated even if you love the heat, somehow.

I get that but it still sounds awesome 😉 Of course Gitea federating with other Gitea (or Forgejo) instances would be awesome and make it a right candidate to host another fediverse project.

We also hope to migrate development to Gitea once federation is implemented.

That is awesome to hear! Lemmy federating with the code forge it’s hosted on sounds awesome!

Like the others said, no. To explain in a bit more detail:

Ubuntu Touch uses something what’s known as “Halium”, which internally uses “libhybris”. This puts Android’s proprietary userland drivers in a container to allow them to run as is and provide hardware support.

postmarketOS however doesn’t use any existing drivers, proprietary or not, from Android. Instead we rely on upstreamed and FOSS drivers in the kernel, Mesa, etc. This is more maintainable in the long run but way more work in the short run. So no, Ubuntu Touch supporting something doesn’t help us.

Great news! However as long as Mozilla shows no interest whatsoever in developing a mobile UI, I don’t have much hope honestly. The mobile-firefox-config we develop at postmarketOS works fine, but it’ll never be as great as an actual mobile UI.

Huh I actually like the GE, way better than spam chatting in a city square somewhere 🤷

Huh, so this is like 2009scape.org but for 2006? Interesting, I wonder which project is further along. I personally prefer the 2009 era at least so I don’t think I’ll play this.

That… Is interesting 🤔 Linux can be fun but it should foremost just be a way to run your apps, just “be an OS”, nothing more. Choose some well-supported enterprise distro like Fedora or Ubuntu or whatever and just do what you do on a computer, minus customizing it.

I know that’s not how addiction works, but I’m sure there is some way for you to run Linux without having addiction problems. Now you’re resorting to an OS that spies on you and fills you with ads, is that really what you want?

Ah awesome. The database horizontal scaling is a solved problem already luckily, especially an enterprise database like PostgreSQL has lots of options there.

as developers we would rather focus on optimizations which will benefit everyone, not only the largest instances.

Oh sure, but being able to horizontally scale shouldn’t hurt small instances 😉 Personally I’d probably host a single-user instance at some point just like I do with Mastodon, so I personally don’t really have a need for horizontal scaling either but it’s good to think of those things.

Is Lemmy made with horizontal scaling (a.k.a. launching more instances and have a load balancer proxy the requests to the various instances) in mind? It could help larger instances like lemmy.ml managing the load better rather than just putting it on a beefier machine.

Not just switching audio when appropriate, I can’t get it to play any audio on the headset whatsoever. Yeah it’s still possible to play with the audio on my PC speakers but it’s a severely worse experience sadly.

Personally I’m experiencing https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamVR-for-Linux/issues/334 so I can’t help you sorry. Hope you find the answer though!

I’m jealous you’re even able to play it on X11. I’ve played it exclusively on Windows purely because VR on Linux is too buggy with my setup. At first the VR window only showed on my desktop and not actually on my Valve Index, and after finding a workaround it only plays at 90Hz with stuttering. Even if I manage to play through that there is the issue that audio doesn’t play through the headset and you can’t configure audio devices from within SteamVR. It’s a big mess honestly…

Monado (a FOSS OpenXR runtime) works fine however, I wish Steam just used that underneath…

Also I’ll be honest I have no idea what mastodon is.

Mastodon is to Twitter what Lemmy is to Reddit: a decentralized alternative built on the ActivityPub protocol for the fediverse.

But tons of libraries used out there are not in those runtimes, and this scenario still applies to them.

Better to just not use Windows at all at that point tbh. Go join us on the light side and use some Linux distro!

Nee het is hoe Mastodon ook werkt. Basically een comment/post wordt gedeeld met alle servers die het moeten ontvangen bij het moment van plaatsen. Een server gaat het niet opnieuw verzenden elke keer dat een nieuwe server de community gaat posten. Je kunt je server van de comment laten weten door de directe link naar de comment in de zoekbalk te gooien, maar dat is natuurlijk super veel werk.

Het is in ieder geval voorlopig helaas een realiteit van de fediverse.
