qweertz (they/she)

Still rocking a GTX 1070 and I plan on using my Graphene OS Pixel 8 Pro till 2030 (only bought it (used ofc) bc my Huawei Mate 20 Pro died on my in October last year 😔)

Back when building my PC, I actually considered getting a 980 Ti. Luckily I did go with the GTX 1070

(they were both similarly priced)

I’ve been on Linux since 2018 (my PC is from 2016) and my next GPUs will always be AMD, unless Intel somehow manages to produce an on par GPU

Hey, it’s not 2026 just yet!

I’m running Linux for everything and my GTX 1070 is still chugging along trying to power my 1440p 144hz monitor ^^’

Well, I mostly just play strategy games and CS2 (which I do have to run on almost the lowest possible settings without FSR. I basically turn everything to lowest except for lowest still AA setting and dynamic shadows to not have a disadvantage and get 110 - 180 fps depending on the situation)

But I’m planning on buying a used Radeon 9070 XT and just inserting it into my current build (i7 6800k based lololol) and on eventually buying a new build around it

(A 750W 80 Plus Platinum PSU should be able to handle a new 970 XT)

gnome terminal and console have hardware acceleration and have had it for a while AFAIK

Organic Maps and thus by extension CoMaps are supposed to be minimalist and light on features. They are kinda the polar opposite to OSMAnd (at least regarding that)

It’s so jover. Not even “reputable” news outlets know what correlation is anymore 💀

Every IT-literate person fights kernel-lvl malware disguising as games with everything they got.

Since Linux has a high percentage of those, I hope those “solutions” will never spread

“Turning”?! “into”?!

ig neither the glowies, nor Snowden, nor Manning exist

Postgres slowing factor

I’m pretty sure one of the best optimised free/libre DBMS’s is faster than Python 💀

EDIT: skimmed it wrongly, see corrections below

Also no one knows how Piefed scales, since it only has like 350 MAU

Looking forward to when these are actually affordable, like in a few decades.

Assuming they haven’t gone bankrupt by then ((:

Glad to be of help! I personally really like Syncthing, since it makes implementing a resilient decentralised backup strategy quite easy.

Though I would recommend you go with “Syncthing-Fork”, as iirc the “vanilla” app was put into maintenance mode or smth like that

Well, if you didn’t know, Molly is a soft fork of the Signal Android client.

But, I think both support making local backups of your chats.
I do so daily and keep two copies. These get synced in real time to my little NAS and/or my PC/Laptop

Glad to see they are establishing useful streams of revenue

I, however, will continue using Molly in combination with Syncthing

Go on the official Taler Website, they have all the info there iirc

exactly, “reserve army of labour” is a tale as old as capitalism.

Just that the IT industry has run a very effective propaganda campaign for it

Isn’t Insomnia pulling the same shit as Postman nowadays?

There was a soft fork Insomnium but that’s been unmaintained for a long while, so I just use Bruno

Doesn’t seem like it, but users who don’t know how to toggle a setting should be kept faaaar away from sideloading
