The Dislike to Ubuntu in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] GustavoM@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago

Ub(loa)tu tries to cater to everyone whilst ending up in pleasing no one -- it has too much unnecessary clutter.

bemenu. Type stuff in popup, press enter, no confettis thrown on your face.

Firewalls: what SHOULD I block? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] GustavoM@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

In a nutshell,

  • Use wireshark

  • See if theres any weird connections going on (i.e you visit pancakes.com and wireshark shows unrelatedsite.com making a request as well)

  • Block unrelatedsite.com

"What about firewalls?"

Block from ports 1000 'till the very end (65565 if I'm not mistaken.) -- that is your "bread and butter" approach.

"W-what if I'm using a port past 1000?"

Nah, you (very likely) aren't and never will.

How do I make my own internet? (lemmy.world)
 

Title. Just imagine the possibilities of having your own "homemade internet"!

Would it be weird if I took something my neighbor put out for trash? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] GustavoM@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Have you tried calling your neighbor out and asking him? "Hey! Can I take your shelf?". Takes like three seconds to sort this out.

Removing Windows. Choosing a new daily driver for a gaming PC in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world
[–] GustavoM@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (3 children)

It can be (pretty much) any distro you want -- just make a minimal install, install the stuff you want, pull config files from your github and throw em in $HOME, that's it.

Does leaving a single board computer caseless can be a problem or not? (lemmy.world)
 

...other than the logical factors of dust and the damage it can cause to components.

t. Got a orange pi zero 3 running caseless for almost an year.

Valve appear to be testing ARM64 and Android support for Steam on Linux in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

Nah, they are doing you a favor.

best linux terminal emulator in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] GustavoM@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

I always do minimal installs, so eh... guess that is a "Yes and no" for me.

Wine 9.17 Released With Better ARM64 CPU Detection, HiDPI Window Surface Scaling in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] GustavoM@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Looks like we are about to see Crysis running "almost natively" on a rpi 5!

....eh?

How can we make Linux more appealing as "just works"? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] GustavoM@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

By telling users to change their mindset, by showing em how control is important and how the "just werks" mentality imposed by Microsoft is more detrimental than anything.

Is Linux (dumb)user friendly yet? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] GustavoM@lemmy.world -1 points 3 weeks ago

So you are saying that dumbs can't read? Because hey, that is all it takes to troubleshoot a problem on linux.

Thus, even your grandmother can "do google" nowadays.

Editing (or running) file(s) regardless of current directory. [Cli tip] (lemmy.world)
 

tl;dr

Editing;

$photoortexteditoryoulike $(find / -iname incompletefilenam*)

Running;

exec $(find / -iname incompletepackagenam*)

Interacting (copying, moving, etc);

$desiredinteraction $(find / -iname desiredfileorpackag*) /desired/output/directory

It may be a "not-so-attractive" tip for most of you, but I find it really useful when I want to edit a specific file (that is located alongside several ones, like a picture or a text file). Or when I've finished compiling something and I want to find the binary file asap. Saves me lots of time on really slow pcs (like a rpi zero).

Is it possible to parse a rss reader through ffplay? (lemmy.world)
 

Title. Basically, a lower panel that shows the latest news, etc (fetched from a rss link or a sequence of rss links) while scrolling left (ala CNN). Why? I'm trying to make a "smart clock" of sorts that shows a live stream, a real time clock and -also- the latest news -- all crumbled together in a single screen.

I'm using a orange pi zero 3 w/ Dietpi installed. And due to the expected "crazyness" of this idea, I had to resort to you guys.

Thanks in advance.

Best ergonomic/vertical mouse for FPS gaming? (lemmy.world)
 

Title. Is it the Logitech MX? Thanks in advance.

Has any of you ever tried the "Ragnok 2 gun mouse"? If so, how good is it? (lemmy.world)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by GustavoM@lemmy.world to c/games@lemmy.world

Title. Been using "conventional mouses" since a while, and I'm in the mood to try something new. Even so considering its a ergonomic mouse that won't screw my wrists even more while gaming(I'm over 40 y/o).

There are plenty of reviews for it on the internet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_2wixvrWPg&pp=ygUVcmFnbm9rIG1vdXNlIDIgcmV2aWV3 for instance) but I'd like to hear some "real world" reviews about it.

I'm looking for a command that is similar to cpupower, but for gpu (or even both -- gpupower?systempower?) (lemmy.world)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by GustavoM@lemmy.world to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Title. Something that is minimal, has a daemon and a very KISS config file. Bonus points if it also has a "generic" setup (works for all pcs but its not optimal? So I could run this on my sbc.)

Thanks in advance.

-EDIT- Forgot to mention that I've got both AMD cpu and gpu.

"Combokeys" instead of hotkeys. [Feature/new command suggestion] (lemmy.world)
 

Title. Basically, "if a street fighter gamer and a linux tryhard had a baby" where a combination of keys is issued to run a command/script rather than a single or a simultaneous stroke of two or more. i.e left, down, left, right arrow keys, R_CTRL to run Firefox. Right, right, Up, right arrow keys, delete to power off the PC, etc.

Don't know if such command exists, but there you go.

Bonus points if its a standalone and supports X11, Wayland and Arcan.

As a normal, boring user that does nothing special other than browse the internet and the occasional "casual coding" -- what am I supposed to do with 32GiB of ram? (lemmy.world)
 

Title. Besides setting tmpfs to use 10GiB of it to store downloads.

Have a pixelated bonfire to warm your night. (Image size is ~ 19KiB.) (lemmy.world)
 

Nothing too shabby, but still. To run it you need docker, and after that just type

docker run -it --rm --log-driver none --read-only --net none --cap-drop=ALL --security-opt=no-new-privileges defnotgustavom/pixfire4

...and you will be greeted with a little, small, very pixelated bonfire.

"Why docker and not just a simple command?"

Mostly because of those two flags: --read-only and --net none. Can't get better than this. :^)

This also came up while in a self-learning process, but I don't want to "flex" it here.

Am I wrong to assume that docker is perfect for single board computers that relies on low life expectancy drives (microsd)? (lemmy.world)

How exactly "secure" is a container with all capabilities dropped, distroless, with a custom rootfs directory, a static, single binary with chmod set at 100 and file ownership pointed to non-root u... (lemmy.world)
 

ser*, and said non-root user being "nonexistant" (i.e set via ENV)? Can such container -STILL- be exploited/breached through malicious means? Forgot to mention that its a DOCKER container @ title, but there you have it. Just curious.

Thanks in advance.
