I used to overclock back in the day when that was still a thing (2004-ish) and 120mm fans were amazing with a speed controller, have them slow when using computer normally, and speed 'em up when playing a game.

Huh, TIL about PackageKit.

Interesting, but also a little bit of history: almost every time Ubuntu goes off and does its own thing, not including the rest of the Linux community in its decisions, it ends up designing stuff that never gets adopted and becomes a nightmare to deal with. Remember Upstart? Remember Mir? Its annoying to see them have done it again. Just drop snap already, in favor of more popular solutions, like flatpak.

I mean, it’s not the OS, its the hardware support that’s needed. A Linux phone just has to support the hardware of the phone, and then it can run waydroid to run apps from android ecosystem, until the Linux app ecosystem catches up. Hard part is all the hardware is proprietary with no help from manufactures on drivers and firmware, so people have to reverse engineer everything which takes an incredible amount of skill, and time. Hence why we don’t have a viable alternative to iOS and Android yet.

That’s really weird the CLIMATE is acting like this. I wonder if it’s CHANGING…

Sure looks like we’re gearing up for a further dystopian future. Yay.

I’m so, so tired of the people making things horrible, screaming that things are horrible. (Not you, Chip Roy and anyone like him.)

Its gonna get worse if they lose too. They’re the ones who will be doing the shootings.

Lol Comcast. You’ll want to record every. fucking. Phone call you have with them.

I know, right? Then we might finally get some gun control in this god damn country… (USA, obviously)

Yup. 7.25x40x52=15,080. Didn’t bother including taxes because I’m not sure if any gets taken out for that income range. I think its bellow poverty level so it might not get taken out, dunno.

Could you imagine working in a factory 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for an entire year and only making $15,000?

Its been a while since I’ve used virtualbox, this would allow you to use the virtualbox GUI and configuration utilities, but run the VM under KVM virtualization, correct? Is there much advantage to this over using virt-manager, or cockpit to configure your VM’s?

Well, then I don’t understand the downvotes, lol. The person i replied to said sometimes a distro will force a reboot, I said that’s bad, and a bunch of people apparently disagree with that.

I thought we would have learned from Windows, you should never force a reboot.

Lol yes. Its my fault. Thanks.

I’m so tired of life in this country just consistently getting worse. When the hell are we gonna reach a breaking point where the people revolt against the effects of unchecked capitalism, because I feel like we’re getting there. (And no, I don’t mean January 6th style where we get a dictator instead)

People can barely get by and they’re being attacked on all sides, politically threatening democracy, (thus threatening your safety), threatening what little amount of shitty health insurance we’re given, cutting wages, cutting jobs, crashing the economy multiple times to get bailed out by the tax payer’s, threatening people because of the color of their skin, or because their religions n is the right one and yours isn’t, denying science, denying climate changed letting a global pandemic run wild because it might kill your political opponents more that live in dense cities. The list goes on, and on. I’m so tired of this shit and the dumb ass people that support it.

I’ve been using a htpc for TV content for years, and I’ve finally given up and just gonna pirate all my shit now. The hoops I’ve had to jump through to get 1080p on Linux, and Netflix/prime video working on my rooted lineageos phone has pissed me off too much. Researching all the *arr software packages and which sources to get content from, this weekend.

The original Xbox was what got me into openwrt. I was in college, got a hold of an xbox and wanted to play with my friends online. I could spend $50 or more on the WiFi adapter Microsoft sold, or I could spend like $25 on an Wrt54G and flash it with openwrt, connect that to my WiFi as a wireless bridge and connect the Ethernet to my xbox. Worked like a charm and I had a multipurpose device instead of a single use Xbox WiFi adapter, for cheaper.
