  • Friend just hopped to Bazzite from Windows.
    I was hoping the atomocity would be a great boon - you kind of can’t break it right.

    Well, he wanted to configure RGB lighting on his mouse but the flatpak openrgb did not work, supposedly the udev rules included in bazzite by default, are not up to date or there was some other problem.
    As such we had to install openrgb the usual system-wide way, with rpm-ostree in terminal - something I was hoping he would never had to do.


  • Unless the vendor is rolling something super custom, for the communication TO the keyboard, it should use USB HID.

    Start Wireshark, filter for hid, connect the KB and the first message should be a HID descriptor of the KB, look for Output Reports (it’s meant from the POV of the usb master) or Feature Reports.
    Though, this will probably not yield much insight - vendors love to do the easy thing, reserve opaque 32x8 bytes as a “downlink” Output communication in the Vendor Usage Page and stuff their own protocol/encoding in there.

    On linux I can recommend hid-tools for working with this, in windows I believe your only solution is Wireshark.

    Happy Hacking!

    E: About the already reversedsoftware, for logitech (and more) stuff, there is piper but you will want to look into the underlying daemon libratbag, there is also solaar



  • It could still be cached by your instance infra, in your case I see cloudflare headers and cache HIT so it might take a bit before the image goes away, depending on the settings of your instance.

    E: it’s also possible your instance does not have cache revalidation configured correctly and as such the image could be cached almost indefinitely (the headers currently say it can be cached for a maximum of a year). @Lodion@aussie.zone



  • My instance is close to two years old now, and on average has had about 2 MAU, with no (local) communities.

    Currently we have about 700 active federated communities (that had any federated activity within last month), out of 900.[1]

    The on-disk size of both lemmy and pict-rs database[2]

    postgres@postgres:~$ pwd
    /var/lib/postgresql
    postgres@postgres:~$ du -sh data/
    31G	data/
    

    I use pict-rs with S3 provider and the bucket size is currently at 22.82 GB (read: external network storage, this is probably mostly just thumbnails[3]).

    So in total there is almost 54GBs spent just for lemmy.

    So assuming you have 100G remaining after system stuff and dedicate that box only to lemmy (and pict-rs media files) and use it mostly for yourself [4], you should be alright for about 3-4 years (assuming that I am gaining about 27GBs total per year and that you will federate with a similar amount of a similarly active communities).

    If you offload media storage to a hosted S3 bucket[5] then you should be good for a lot longer as you will only need space for the postgres databases.


    1. The rest is either dead (instance gone) or no one is subscribed to them anymore (as such my instance is not getting any new content from there: neither posts nor comments or votes) ↩︎

    2. Postgres itself reports about 2G less, don’t really know why but I am guessing it has something to do with the filesystem being btrfs ↩︎

    3. Edit: I currently do not use the “privacy” mode of pict-rs where it proxies all content (so that a bad guy can’t post an image link to his server and unmask users IPs), this would increase the S3 size and slightly postgres size. ↩︎

    4. You should use Lemmy Subscriber Bot to automatically federate little bit of random communities so that public All feed is not exact copy (minus NSFW comms) of whatever you as the only user subscribe to. ↩︎

    5. Though keep in mind that S3 buckets eventually cost some money too, for example Cloudflare R2 charges $0.015 per 1GB, above the first 10GBs. ↩︎

    No.
    Any coding LLM could probably help you piece together the kernel configs, makefiles and so on but you can’t just tell it “build me a linux distro called Mannah Hontana”.

    Edit: not to mention that distro is more then just the kernel, there is also the choice of init system (what will start and manage “background” services), package manger (so also the package format), desktop environment (kde, gnome, …none) and so on







  • Yeah didn’t add that bit before, edited in. Archer is here as just dumb AP/routing box for the furthest room, connected to Omnia by ethernet (so yes, Archer acts as client device @ .1.20 and forwards everything to Omnia).

    EDIT: Sadly I don’t have OpenWRT on the TP-Link, but the plan was to replace it with more capable Mikrotik so that I could setup the more advanced bits (Mobility Domain, “roaming”)
