Wait what is the difference between the two?

Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] rufus@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 7 months ago

I’ve been daily driving Hyprland for almost a year now I think, my only complaint is that some of my electron apps act out a little bit (Discord won’t open links, etc). I don’t game as heavily as I used to, but I regularly am running Overwatch 2 around 200 FPS with no issues, and Bauldur’s Gate 3 is super smooth as well.

Not the OP but it doesn’t read as satire to me

Hey! Another SDF user in the wild, what’s up!

Which terminal emulator do you use? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I was using alacritty for a long time, but I swapped to kitty recently when I started using Wayland

Which terminal emulator do you use? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] rufus@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 9 months ago (4 children)

So the “terminal” is the basic CLI that you use in the single-user, text-based mode. Terminal emulators are graphical programs that run in multi-user, graphics-based mode, and they hook into the terminal and allow you to access it inside graphical sessions. Some examples would be alacritty, kitty, urxvt, konsole, or terminator

I don’t have a mustache, so maybe?

Living Room-Ba. Guess which room the charging base is in

ISP put me behind NAT in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] rufus@lemmy.sdf.org 24 points 1 year ago (11 children)

Have you reached out to your ISP to see if they can give you a dynamic public IP? I recently swapped to a new ISP that was using CGNAT but after contacting their support team with my use case, they were happy to set me up with a public IP so I could continue my self-hosting.

Is it possible to safely check for certain characters in a password? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[–] rufus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Full-stack dev here, not necessarily in answer to OP’s question, but in my experience it is a pretty standard practice that when you log in to a service, the web page sends your unhashed creds to the server, where your password is then hashed and compared to the stored hash. Via HTTPS/TLS/SSL, this is a reasonably secure practice since the creds are still encrypted while in transport. Hashing is a computationally expensive process that (before the advent of WASM) wasn’t really feasible to do on the client side.

Linux gamers, what distro are you currently on? in c/operating_systems@beehaw.org

[–] rufus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

I was using Gentoo for a while, but I kept having issues with the proprietary Nvidia drivers, so I set up a Win10 VM with GPU passthrough.

I actually just switched to NixOS, haven’t had a chance to get my games set up just yet but I am excited for the number of people I have seen have success with it. Setting up gaming is next on my list.
