This bigly. Everyone innately deserves respect. You can absolutely lose it for being a wanker.

“Respect is earned” needs to die in a fire.

Hmm I’ve got a similar setup. TV only on and used when I want it for certain things like rhythm games. Its not a great TV and 4k60 is its max but that seems accurate based on mangohud.

3 monitors: 1 display port, 2dvi Optional HDMI TV.

Check your cable perhaps, but also the HDMI forum sucks and prevented AMDs open source driver (https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/02/hdmi-forum-to-amd-no-you-cant-make-an-open-source-hdmi-2-1-driver/ )for proper 2.1 HDMI support. Additionally many TVs have a “gamemode” or low latency mode that might help.

That said if you mean your system itself is struggling and not the display on the TV, I don’t have a clue what it would be.

I actually have the 500DX and went with the Be Quiet’s cooler as well and couldn’t be happier with both purchases.

The build looks solid to me, with the caveat that I don’t keep up with hardware unless I need to buy it. So, I’m not super knowledgeable about what parts are specifically the best and as to why, but I’ve been on an all AMD linux only gaming rig for a few years now and it works really well. I’d have to recommend sticking with all AMD solely so you have to do less (if any) fussing with drivers. All distros and installs are not the same, but most should have you situated and in a good place.

I’ve been using Plasma 6 and Wayland since Plasma 6 was stable. IMO, you shouldn’t have any issues using Wayland in todays landscape.

I’d definitely recommended valetudo, but wanted to mention that eufy has some easily repairable non WiFi vacs that work reasonably well with no smart features. Eufy has a rough track record regarding privacy with their other smart products but can’t spy without a connection.

Any links or thoughts on sane OpenWRT settings for a home network? I’m a networking noob but learning slowly and would love some good reading or tips.

I use gocryptfs because it can be used on Android (DroidFs) and Linux desktop so I can sync my shares.

There’s a few GUIs for desktop for it that you can try out and see if they help with your use case.

Heroic is working on this feature and you can try it out if you want to currently it just isn’t deemed stable. Here is the PR: https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/pull/3020

Perhaps when it was under jwilms original repo and now its under the alacritty org. Looks like it’s going strong and moving from yaml to toml config, which makes me happy.

When did alacritty die? I thought it was still actively maintained. Maybe I missed an important commit somewhere but it looks active as of now?

I’ve got to agree. It’s replaced z for me and its just a great multipurpose tool

Of course. I used the last.fm import and it worked great. Always happy to offer open source solutions when I can. I haven’t used last.fm in probably a decade so I’m not too sure how the features differ but listenbrainz has been great for me.

Listenbrainz is a great alternative to last.fm and is supported by Spotify and there are ways to use it with various offline players. I think you can work it into Google Play music as well, or you could before it became YouTube music.

Since I haven’t seen it mentioned yet, I’ve been using Soft Serve on my server. Just a git server with terminal UI and easy to manage.

StreetComplete is perhaps the easiest and maybe best way to contribute as it is on rails. Constraining input for newer users is great. If your area is saturated with information I look at that as a win for the open community as a whole, but I understand the desire to add more.

There is SCEE which has advanced features and more editing options but I haven’t explored it yet. I am just happy something like StreetComplete exists to allow me to contribute in a meaningful way without adding garbage data.
