  • So the V collection is similar to analog lab in that it can be downloaded from the same software center and may use their licensing from that, but the gripe is whether or not I need Arturia’s software center installed somehow in the first place. Is your version of analog lab licensed? If so, do you recall how you got it installed/working/Licensed under linux (using their software center or some other way?). I am not sure if you can just grab a VST/LV2 from them - I was under the impression you needed to install your licensed products via that software center.

    Thanks




  • I don’t agree with the sentiment that a word used by one guy next to a slur they also used imparts a derogatory meaning to the word as well. If this were the case, we would have a problem with a lot more words.

    If someone said “F-slurs shine like a rainbow”, that doesn’t make the words shine or rainbow derogatory.

    Furthermore with the contextual usage of glowie considered - if it is derogatory, then its usage shows that its derogatory to members of the CIA rather than people of color.

    However if people continue to cite glowie as a slur for people of color, then people might start to use it in that context, and then it becomes a slur for people of color.

    Therefore I would recommend not citing the use of the word in this way because all it can do is eventually add a derogatory connotation that doesn’t currently exist outside of being next to a slur during one usage or the creation of it.



  • UpNp or port forwarding is the same way both Plex and Jellyfin work.

    I don’t know what makes Jellyfin less secure since they both work the same way for this as far as I can tell…

    Can you be more specific about what makes Jellyfin less secure when it comes to UpNp/port forwarding?

    In the case of port forwarding at least Jellyfin is open source and has more eyes on it so it’s less likely for someone to zero day it and have at it unless I have misunderstood how each can connect off-network.

    Furthermore the hash for your password is stored along with many others at a single (or relatively few) attack point/s on a Plex business server since it’s a centralized business whereas this is never the case for Jellyfin.

    Also this thread is about Plex literally selling your personal data so I don’t really consider Jellyfin worse for exposing your personal data.

    I’ll take my chances with a single idiot who want’s to compromise my poor asses tiny network versus an actual hacker who wants to compromise an enterprise businesses network that is storing thousands or hundreds of thousands of user credentials, data, and payment information (Which Jellyfin doesn’t store even half of).

    If someone hacks Jellyfin on my network -> They have my… media files? Maybe the hash of the one password I use there?

    If somone hacks Plex on my network or anywhere - or the people they sold that data to -> They have my password hash, credit card number and probably my name that is associated to it, personal data that Plex is selling, etc.

    TL:DR I think Plex is more likely to be hacked rather than myself and the outcome of Plex getting hacked is worse than if my personal Jellyfin server gets hacked.

    It’s to verify if either a configuration in Bazzite is the cause(such as your drivers), or if it is hardware related. The other comment asking if you installed the Nvidia version of Bazzite suspects driver issues as well, so a live USB would be able to rule it out or confirm it.

    Alternatively, and probably the better option is to just take backups of your files and such and then reinstall Bazzite to the system, making sure you are using a version that is compatible with your graphics card. You don’t seem as though you know a tonne about Linux, so I would probably recommend that over trying to rebase the OS, as it will generally be easier for you to do I think, and more completely insure system stability.

    (I’m a junior dev at my job, and don’t have a lot of experience).

    You’re robbing yourself of gaining legitimate experience.

    I always use AI to explain things to me, not code for me.

    Ok.

    I made that my mission, so I don’t let it think for me because I want to learn.

    Alright.

    I asked it to build an app for me that works on KDE Plasma, my favorite DE.

    Seems like the exact opposite of just having it explain concepts to you, and not letting it think for you, and not letting it write code for you.

    I’ve never programmed in Python, and it chose Python. lol. Ok, let’s go with it.

    Ok, so you aren’t actually learning any python, and it is just generating python code for you, which you made no attempt to change such that it would just be explaining concepts to you preferably in a language you do know. Sounds a lot like you aren’t doing a lot of the thinking in this process, or writing the code.

    Creates that little script I mentioned earlier

    Creates the .desktop file for that app and makes it point to the correct things (script, icon, startupWMClass(this is so the app will still launch after pinning it to the panel)…etc)

    Copies the appimage into a “appimages” folder in the home directory

    Adds an icon of your choosing to the app

    It makes everything executable

    Instead of asking AI to make this in a language you don’t know, you’d probably be a lot better off learning some BASH and discovering that this is likely doable in a one-liner or function which you can associate to an alias.

    I had it package the app into an appimage

    So it is thinking for you, writing the code for you, and packaging it for you.

    The honest part. I feel a tiny bit of shame deep inside

    You should.

    Who cares how I created it?

    Programmers, artists, your boss, your future self when something breaks in prod and you realize that you have robbed yourself of so much experience by outsourcing any opportunity to obtain skill, knowledge, and wisdom that you have no idea what the fuck to do or why the problem is happening, and then someone sues you over it because it turns out in the mess of AI code which you haven’t even looked at 60% of up until this point there are out of scope variables from a thread the AI found on 1337codeForum.fuck circa 2008 which lead to a disaster where some guy who actually knows how code works half way around the globe stack buffer overflowed the fuck out of you.

    If you want honest opinions from people, then this is mine. That little shame you feel is probably larger than you think and it’s because you aren’t doing yourself any favors.







  • Unsure about the iLO, but I do recall powering on one of these remotely in school using it. I’ll have to wait until I find some power cable to take a look I believe, but I do see a sticker with the default user name and password for it on the side, so here’s hoping haha.

    I have a PLA 3d Printer, but I fear PLA has too low of a melting point to use for server components. It would be neat if there were a caddie model out there I could test with though - will have to look around.

    Thanks for the insight on the rack as well, that will be good to know in the future I am certain.
