I was a pretty experienced programmer when I first read SICP, but I still found it incredibly valuable. I’d recommend it to anyone.

I don’t disagree exactly, but I’d argue that you’re contributing to the project even if you’re just reporting bugs or helping others with it on e.g. Lemmy.
I could see avoiding all of that pragmatically in order to use some obscure, critical software, but not something you use every day and for which there are reasonable alternatives.
It’s kind of absurd. When you buy a TV, the bloated adware at least helps lower the price. Imagine paying extra for it.
Fair enough, most of that isn’t something a user should have to worry about.
VT is just Virtual Terminals. You always have one of them active, and in most distros you can switch to others by Ctrl-Alt-F1 through F12. In some distos it’s just Alt-F1.
So if you press Ctrl-Alt-F2 you should be brought to a text login. For crazy historical reasons you may have to either press Ctrl-Alt-F1 or Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get back to your usual graphical session.

I would try:
I just started using finamp a couple of weeks ago and this inspired me to install the beta.
If I find any problems I’ll try to get involved on the repository. Discord is a bit of a turnoff though.
I use gnome-session-inhibit
quite a bit, but it’s hard to imagine a good way to automate it.
Sometimes I inhibit idle
to keep something on screen, and sometimes I just inhibit suspend
so something can complete.
It probably doesn’t make sense for the terminal to have anything more than a protocol to control it. The only real benefit to that would be in remote sessions, and it’s not really clear how it should work when multiple machines are involved.
It sounds like you’d benefit from having a project in mind. I always learned programming languages by building something I wanted, or by tinkering on someone else’s project.
Have you checked these all on winehq? It would be nice for them to be reported with logs if they haven’t already.
Garmin Express for example is on there with some discussion here: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=40213
It might not help in the short term, but even just having logs for more broken programs could be useful for the wine project.
Did you grep that log file for ‘amdgpu’?
I wonder if the error is related to this: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/229108
I’m still using x11 on my system. Maybe try that and see if it works?
No, I haven’t seen anything like that. That’s odd.
I’ve had those errors on my system for years. I never thought that they were NixOS specific. I just assumed something to do with a buggy firmware:
Enabled 4 GPEs in block 00 to 1F
ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.PCI0.GPP2.PTXH.RHUB.POT3._PLD due to previous error (AE_AML_UNINITIALIZED_ELEMENT) (20240322/psparse-529)
[x~20]
ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (domain 0000 [bus 00-ff])
I don’t notice any ill-effects from them, so it may be a red herring. I have a:
$ < /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_name
ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING
with a 5900X.
I don’t usually see as many prints as you have there, but it’s quite a few, and the number seems to vary (grow?) over time. I keep meaning to investigate it, but haven’t got around to it.
I think you should keep looking in your logs for other problems. If you can share the full log I’d be happy to take a look.
Why would there be one answer to this? I’d probably use all the available levels depending on the situation, in the same way I’d use --word-diff
or -b
in git
when I need help understanding a complex change.
The original error actually makes it sound like there’s a partition on hda that’s bigger than hda itself.
It probably becomes CPU limited with those other compression algorithms.
You could use something like atop
to find the bottleneck.
Have you checked all the ethernet links are actually connected at 1G and not 100M?
Something which notifies you whenever a new comment or reply is made to a selected post/comment, so that you can keep track of any new conversation.
Something like this would be awesome as a core Lemmy feature IMO. It would essentially turn a post (or maybe any comment tree?) into a matrix style room. Lemmy is actually decent for long term discussion (e.g. helping someone with a problem), but not if there are more than two people involved.
I’d probably:
systemctl suspend
When the screen fails to wake, are you able to get it back by powering it off, or by unplugging it? Is it X or wayland?
Of course not, but you have to either trust your users to some extent or give them a system that’s locked down to the point of hindering them.
This seems like a very bad idea. I think we just need more lisp and less AI.
