What are some of the most popular Lemmy apps to use?
  • orsetto orsetto Now 100%

    I used jerboa at first and it was really great, although a bit buggy (haven't used it in a while tho)

    I'm now using a different frontend my instance provides (Photon, at p.lemmy.dbzer0.com) and it is really great on mobile. I added it to my home from the browser and it just feels like an app

  • Asking for donations in Plasma
  • orsetto orsetto Now 71%

    Ads try to sell you something, there is no "call to action". Here, there is nothing to sell, so by definition it's not an ad.

    They are just asking you if you'd like to help them in providing you the product you're already using.

  • orsetto orsetto Now 86%

    Not an ad. No one is trying to sell you anything.

    (If you get the notification) you're already using their product.

  • agile is far left too. I will die on this hill
  • orsetto orsetto Now 61%

    Honestly i wouldn't mind. Users on .world that don't want a butt load of defederations will probably (and hopefully) move to another instance, whilst the rest of lemmy will be free from all the liberals uncapable of discriminating between communists and tankies

  • How to create a bootable Linux USB drive
  • orsetto orsetto Now 100%

    I don't remember where, but i read that this method only works because linux distributors "abuse" the ISO format to allow this. If I remember right, it's not possible to use this ISOs on regular disks

    Of course the command you provided is right and it's what I use, it's just a fun fact

    Dazed and confused, but trying to continue
    

    I get this one like once a week and it always makes me laugh. One day I'll investigate

  • What is the /opt directory?
  • orsetto orsetto Now 100%

    I think it refers to applications that do not respect the standard directories like /usr/bin, /usr/share/man, /etc

  • Is directory monitoring just cursed?
  • orsetto orsetto Now 100%

    Just the other day I wrote something just like this, but I used inotify.

    I have to monitor a fairly small direcotry tho, so I didn't encounter any problem.

    both of which use the inotify interface and attempt to set watches on each individual subdirectory

    Is this really necessary? Inotify's man page says it can monitor a whole directory with only one watch, so that's what I did and it looks like it's working

    I didn't make a lot of tests tho, so I might be wrong

    Edit: from the inotify man page:

    Inotify monitoring of directories is not recursive: to monitor subdirectories under a directory, additional watches must be created. This can take a significant amount time for large directory trees.

    Yeah, it is necessary. That's what I get for not reading the whole thing.

    Unfortunately i can't help you, but just to be sure, have you downloaded the -nvidia version of the ISO? In case, check it out

    Also try not to daily run with acpi=off, especially on a laptop, as it won't be very power efficient

  • Do any of you program on non-US keyboard layouts?
  • orsetto orsetto Now 100%

    Getting used to it is going to be a hell of a ride, but this is a wonderful thing.

    Also using other pc is going to be even harder lol

  • Do any of you program on non-US keyboard layouts?
  • orsetto orsetto Now 100%

    Same. Forward slash always annoys me. It's in the middle of the keyboard, so you have to either 1. make a very uncomfortable move with your right hand, or 2. make an uncomfortable move with your right hand, or 3. use both your hands, which sucks.

    Luckily I'm using linux, so I have tilde and backtick (`) as AltGr+' and AltGr+ì, which are pretty easy to type.

  • Keep proton pass and proton mail with single account?
  • orsetto orsetto Now 100%

    Best thing you can do is learn a very strong and complex password to use for your proton account, that's what I did.

    It takes a bit of time but eventually you'll learn to type it in fast.

  • People who can don't get mad and just go with the flow, how do you do it?
  • orsetto orsetto Now 98%

    Happened to me too. Best thing is going to therapy.

    This might be caused by bigger problems with your family or work. Or it might just be accumulated stress unrelated to anything in particular.

    Therapy helps either way

  • Hi. I'm working on a project that compiles Rust code to [WASM](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAssembly/Rust_to_wasm), and uses [WASI](https://nodejs.org/api/wasi.html) in Node.js to execute it. After some development, I encountered a segmentation fault happening in the [wasi.start()](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v21.5.0/lib/wasi.js) function. Considering that I'm kinda new to Node I was only able to understand that it was happening after the call to the exported `WASM` method returned. This happened almost two months ago, and while I thought about reporting this to the node devs (`WASI`'s also experimental), I was going to move soon and a lot has gone on. Yesterday I tried to reproduce the bug on my laptop (that is not my usual development environment, which I don't have access to right now) but I wasn't able to. I had to start fresh and install all the necessary tools from zero, so my theory is that there was something wrong in the previous environment. I'm also on Gentoo now, while I was running Arch previously. Unfortunately I don't have the means to check on other environments. I tried to reproduce the old environment, installing the same versions of node and rust, with no luck. I also tested this with the latest versions and everything works fine. This situation is upsetting. I don't know what's changed that caused the problem to "disappear", so i feel uncomfortable considering this solved. What would be the best approach in this situation? EDIT: I also just tested it on Debian live, and I still wasn't able to reproduce the segfault
