Straight men, what's the weirdest thing you've been told you can't do because it's gay? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Were you using it on some other dudes junk by any chance or something..? Cuz otherwise that seems like a leap.

Linux + gaming + KVM + multiple monitors? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] myliltoehurts@lemm.ee 0 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Unfortunately for some of them even if the game works there are often cases where either mods don't work or some overlay/other additional software.

On your answer though, I was under the impression that when you configure the KVM passthrough setup it makes the video card you use for the passthrough inaccessible for the host itself and that to make it accessible, it requires undoing some of the config and a restart. Is this incorrect?

Linux + gaming + KVM + multiple monitors? (lemm.ee)
 

So I've been looking into moving back entirely to Linux, but I play a lot of games so would likely need access to windows. I'm considering using KVM as dualbooting isn't really something I'd want. I've some questions I don't really get from how this setup would work:

  • I have 3 monitors. I have 1 Nvidia 2060. I imagine I might have to get a cheap-ish 2nd video card for Linux as the 2060 would have to be passed through to the guest (windows) VM.. right? (I have integrated graphics, but not enough connections for the 3 monitors on it)
  • how do you switch between playing on the host and playing on the guest? I.e. if a game runs fine native on Linux, I'd want to use that instead of the windows vm. Is it possible to use the Nvidia card I'd normally pass through on the host? The only thing I can think of here is to run a Linux VM on the Linux host so the card can be passed through to it..? Or is it just not worth it and better to stick to just playing on the windows VM?
  • how do multiple monitors behave in this? E.g. I connect the 2 monitors on the left/right to the weak card which I dont have yet. I connect the middle monitor to both cards. Once I launch the VM I change the input on the main monitor to the connection with the Nvidia card. How will my monitors behave (and will I have any control over it)? E.g. will I be able to move the cursor across from the left monitor through the middle monitor and to the right or would they act more like 2 different PCs?
  • how do other things work, like microphone? E.g. can I have discord running on Linux and talk in voice chat, while also using the microphone to talk in game chat in the windows VM?

Answering any of them is useful, thanks in advance. Also if I misunderstood how this setup is meant to work, feel free to correct me.

Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you' in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] myliltoehurts@lemm.ee 14 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

To install a game you have bought on steam you need the steam client, the steam servers, internet and your steam account. If any of those stops being available you can no longer install the games you have bought. So while you can play the games once installed without most of the above, you can lose access to your not currently installed games.

Also, on steam you purchase licenses to the games which they can revoke. I.e. if steam turned evil they could take away games from your library and you couldn't do anything about it really.

Comparatively on GOG, you get a binary installer you can download and can keep forever without DRM so you don't need anything else to install the game in the future, even if it disappeared from your GOG account for some reason, you could still install and play the game.

Shared grocery list suggestions? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] myliltoehurts@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

An app named "Bring!". It's pretty barebones, the only few features in it are

  • shared list
  • organise items by category
  • recipe ingredients (as in save the ingredients for a recipe and then add the recipe to add all the ingredients to the list)

It's pretty much all we need.

Microsoft Edge gets "unfair advantage", browser makers claim in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] myliltoehurts@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Yes, chrome certainly had other merits too. Neither of us can say with certainty why it succeeded. Personally, I don't think a crap browser pushed by Google would have but also an amazing browser pushed by an unknown independent developer would have either.

Certainly agree with your 2nd point though.

Microsoft Edge gets "unfair advantage", browser makers claim in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] myliltoehurts@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

It's true, although chrome has gotten a significant boost from Google promoting it in search and every Google app (which I don't know if they still do).

So chrome beats edge on users, but it's also likely largely because of the unfair advantage it receives/received from that promotion. Those options are not really available to other browser developers (unless Amazon or meta also decided they want a browser for some reason).

Oh you're right! It looks uh.. different than what I'd expect melted cheese to be so I thought it was the bread being discoloured from sauce.

When was the last time you started writing a comment but decided against it mid sentence? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I usually finish writing it and only then do I realise I don't care enough to send it.

Top it with some grated/melted cheese and it's good to go.

Mamma mia what is your favourite pizza? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Pepperoni, red onion, sliced pickles, mix of mozzarella and cheddar (around 60-40), marinara sauce, medium crust.

In their defense, they also clearly label immich as under active development with frequent changes and bugs.

Edit: nvm I saw it was already discussed in another reply.

Debrid vs usenet and the *arrs? (lemm.ee)
 

I currently have a very comfortable lil home server with the arrs and plex (would like jellyfin but it's not there yet for me, currently fielding emby given how Plex is going), basically all sources are usenet.

I'm nearing a point where I either have to delete some stuff or expand space, which is not cheap, and some of my older drives are likely due for some failures too. So after seeing the popularity of debrid I've been wondering if it'd be worth to instead spend the money on it, but would like to ask some questions. I spend maybe around $70/year on the various bits for Usenet and I expect I'd have to spend around an average of $80/year on drives for just expanding storage (obviously assuming I don't just delete stuff). And that's with avoiding 4k just for storage reasons (my internet could take the streaming tho)

Even just the price of Usenet seems to be more than the price of a debrid subscription though and from what I understand I'd not need new disks with it either.

From what I understand debrid is a shared download space for Torrents/direct downloads where if someone adds something it's available for everyone (presumably it gets deleted if noone accessed it for some time and would have to be re-downloaded?). It's possible to mount the content via WebDAV to make it accessible to clients/media servers to stream directly from debrid.

My questions are..

  1. Is there still a point to sonarr/radarr with debrid?
  2. How is the quality? (both in terms of media quality and in terms of file organisation so things are discoverable and accurate, e.g. chances of things explicitly named wrong so you think you're about to watch Brooklyn 99 and instead get porn)
  3. I would likely go the path of using zurg and keeping with Plex/emby - any experience with how well does this work (any recommendations for or against)? What's the mechanism for picking what is available in the mounts to the media server.. or is it just.. everything on debrid?
  4. I don't really use any torrents at the moment, from what I understand that's primarily how you get things on debrid. Would I have to start looking for good trackers to get content or is there no need because chances are someone will have downloaded/shared most things?
  5. I guess, am I assuming this works very differently to how it actually does? Any experience from people who did the swap from Usenet/arrs to some debrid + media server?

Many questions in a wall of text, I'd be grateful for any answers to any of them! Thanks!
