In the defence of client side AC; if the entire game runs on the server, then network delay makes FPS:es awful to play. Being able to trust clients and let them do hit detection is quite important in making online FPS:es responsive. In addition, cheats that remove walls/grass, highlight players or even autoaim are near impossible to detect server side. One could try to use heuristics and statistics but it would be difficult to tell the difference between cheaters and players who are just good at aiming and map awareness.
That’s been the primary reason why I’ve kept a Windows dual boot, though when I tried Steam VR on Linux a month ago it mostly worked well. Still some features that are unavailable, and a couple of bugs, but usable.
I also use KDE because I like customizing my DE, but I’m not sure I agree that it’s hard to break. When I just switched from Xfce to KDE I downloaded several global themes using the built-it theme browser, and a few of those definitely messed things up. It’s also happened more than once that I boot my computer and end up with only the desktop background (i.e. no panels or context menu) because KDE thought there was some wrong with the theme, which can be difficult to recover from for someone who doesn’t know how to ctrl-alt-F3 and edit settings manually. Though it’s ofc. more stable when not testing global themes, and only changing other appearance settings.
Less than a year after that mail Swedish laws were rewritten to make copying music and movies illegal.
Based on the comments here, it sounds like you and others agree that the majority of people who responded to your initial post didn’t do anything wrong, but you thought the overall experience was negative due to a few mean comments, right? So with this meme post, you portray the entire community as a bloodthirsty mob who got angry at you for asking a question. Do you see how this could be considered “not nice” to the people who wrote helpful comments, those who downvoted the negative comments, and people who didn’t even see your post but are still included in the ergo mech community here? While those who wrote mean comments to your post should consider being kinder to newbies, perhaps you ought to consider being kinder to everybody else.
There are tons of options for running LLMs locally nowadays, though none come close to GPT4 or Claude 2 etc. One place to start is /c/localllama@sh.itjust.works
It’s only a wild guess, though I have seen similar issues in other projects :), but I thought it might be worth reporting it to the developer in case it’s a just a bug. I love FOSS, it’s so satisfying being able to fix (some of) my own issues instead of having to hope that the closed source devs have time and motivation to fix it for you. SteamVR for Linux is one of those projects that feel like it could be so much better if they could open source it…
Maybe some bug in the Linux version? E.g. if they’re receiving input events at a different rate than on Windows, and the code assumes it’s always the same… Just speculation but it feels like it wouldn’t be easy to draw anything if it was like this for everybody.
Even when using it with a tablet, or did you try drawing with a mouse?
Can’t remember if it’s a default keybinding or if I changed it, but I use shift+meta+s to select a rectangle of the screen to copy. In KDE I have to select “copy” from the notification hamburger menu, Xfce I configured to automatically copy it to the clipboard. Then you can upload the selection to Discord and other apps with ctrl+v. Just meta+s copies the entire screen but I use that much less often.
Ctrl+h also toggles show hidden files, and it works in both KDE and Gnome/GTK including file selector dialogs afaik.
I could hardlink folders from one user to another
I don’t think you could, afaik hardlinks are only allowed for files. You might be able to something similar with a bind mount though.
Personally I keep those kind of folders outside a single user’s home dir. On one computer I have /home/Shared (not a real user, I just put the folder there… no idea if it’s a bad idea, but noone else is going to be creating users on that computer anyway).
A few days ago I wrote down a couple of links to interesting TTS projects that I was going to look into whenever I have time, along with some brief notes.
https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS TTS + XTTS, GPU inference? 3GB model.
https://github.com/rhasspy/piper Low resource, CPU inference. 50MB model.
https://github.com/p0p4k/vits2_pytorch GPU inference? 500MB model. https://github.com/p0p4k/vits2_pytorch/discussions/27 Someone’s models for vits2
This is the first time I’m hearing about this, but this is how they describe it on their product page:
The AI-Powered Future of Windows Devices
Build, explore, and immerse yourself on select laptops with Ryzen™ AI built in. With dedicated AI accelerator hardware seamlessly integrated on-chip and software that intelligently optimizes tasks and workloads, CPU and GPU resources are freed up to enable optimal performance.
But based on the examples they have on github, it sounds like it might be useful to run generic AI compute stuff. I haven’t seen any details about what memory it uses, since especially LLMs require large amounts of fast memory. If it can use all the system RAM it might provide medium-fast inference of decent models, similar to M1/M2 Macs. If it has dedicated RAM it’ll probably be even faster but possibly extremely limited in what you can do with it.
We mostly use discord since it’s difficult to convince people to sign up for new services… Have to do a workaround to stream desktop audio on Linux, since their client still only supports that for Windows, but other than that it usually works.
Tried https://twoseven.xyz/ a few times during a period when Discord streaming was lagging a lot. It supports desktop streaming with a browser plugin, and sync watching on various streaming services. As far as I can remember it worked ok but had a few issues, though that was a while ago so those might’ve been fixed.
Also tried to get https://sfu.mirotalk.com/ working but for some reason video wouldn’t show up…
There actually is a screenshot of the the prompt in the readme, but it’s quite small so easy to miss :)
zsh with prezto and default prompt. I’ve customized a bit, but the only change I made to the prompt was to replace “…” (three periods) with “…” (ellipsis unicode) since that makes it more compact with a monospace font. I really like the async loading of git status, so I don’t have to wait for the command to run before the prompt prints.
Local LLMs are getting better at a very rapid pace. Still a bit too resource hungry to have running in the background all the time, but for example Mistral-7b is quite competent for its size.
From what I can find, Plex downloads subs from opensubtitles.org and they already exist there. I think the problem is that it treats “Star Wars” and “Star Wars Despecialized Edition” as the same movie
It looks pretty, but IMO one of the selling points of zsh is that it allows async updating of the prompt, allowing you to use slow commands like “git status” without adding a delay every time the prompt needs to be printed.
E.g. the default prompt from prezto is quite light and responsive, but when inside a git repo adds the info on the right side (shows when you have commits ahead/behind the remote branch, stashes, modified/deleted/added/staged files, etc) when that becomes available.
Didn’t look like any of the example themes on ohmyposh.dev had the $RPROMPT stuff, which I guess would be difficult support for a cross-shell theming engine.
