Flatpak Help Needed
  • I was trying so hard to get GTP4ALL to work inside of obsidian because it has this localdocs feature, where you can feed it documents and it integrates them into itself. I want the model to be aware of the whole vault, and also generate notes based on the vault contents, constantly updating.

    It looks like podman desktop + chatGPG obsidian plugin is the way to go through, I'm playing around with it and it looks promising.

  • Large Majority of Americans Want to End Electoral College
  • This is the kind of comment that we do not need here amongst the righteous. Of course you have a say, you have a vote. It doesn't matter which state, just fucking vote. The republicans are on their last leg, their only hope is that you give up and resign to your fate.

    Don't. Don't give an inch. Go vote. Show them that we the people are still in power, and we will no longer stand for their corporate distopia.

  • Researchers observe “locked” electron pairs in a superconductor cuprate | SLAC
  • "In superconductors, the electrons act like two reticent people at a dance party. At first, neither person wants to dance with the other. But then the DJ plays a song that both people like, allowing them to relax. They notice one another enjoying the song and become attracted from afar – they have paired but have not yet become coherent.

    Then the DJ plays a new song, one that both people absolutely love. Suddenly, the two people pair and start to dance. Soon everyone at the dance party follows their lead: They all come together and start dancing to the same new tune. At this point, the party becomes coherent; it is in a superconducting state.

    In the new study, the researchers observed electrons in a middle stage, where the electrons had locked eyes, but were not getting up to dance."

    This is an awesome ELI5.

  • Flatpak Help Needed

    Hi all!

    I'm trying to use a local LLM to help me write in an Obsidian.md vault. The local LLM is running through a flatpak called GTP4ALL, which states that it can expose the model through an OpenAI server. The obsidian.md plugin can't reach the LLM on the specified port, so I'm wondering if the flatpak settings need to be changed to allow this.

    (This is all on bazzite, so the obsidian program is a flatpak too)

    Anyone have an idea where to start?

    Density saves nature
  • I think you missed the point. If you build all of those things you mentioned in a similar compact fashion you still have lots of room for nature and more efficiency when compared to sprawl.

  • All iPhone 16 Models Will Have 'Necessary' RAM Upgrade We Have Never Seen Before
  • Depends on your requirements. The faiphone 5 has 8GB of RAM, which is more than enough for what I'm doing with a smartphone.

    Oh course I totally understand what you are talking about though, for many users (mobile gamers, people who don't mind google/apple telemetry, etc.) 8GB is a bare minimum.

  • The dark arts
  • Absolutely a concern. But calls build rapport, which makes people more likely to help you.

    So that's the question you always need to be asking: do I need this in writing? If not, then a call is enough. If you do, then even if you do call, insist on getting the info in writing. Sometimes this means writing the email yourself, and asking them to confirm.

  • What’s your “I can’t believe other people don’t do this” hack?
  • I don't have any irritation, but I'm a big robust guy, so perhaps milage may vary.

    And sure, I would assume that the sinuses are self-cleaning to an extent, but they are also designed to be a filter to keep junk out of our lungs. The way I see it, I'm just cleaning the filter out before I go to bed.

  • I like both, but usually prefer Ubuntu
  • I agree about that today, but it wasn't always so easy to install linux for noobs as it is now.

    It may be easy to forget, but Ubuntu was doing "easy jnstall" better than moat linux distros for a long time. I bet there are a lot of non-programmer-linux-daily-driver folks out there that got started on ubuntu. I'm one of them.

  • Backup Question (External HD to pcloud)

    I'm setting up a backup if an external hard drive to my pcloud, and I have come across the following issue. I need the help of this awesome community.

    I used to run arch on my laptop, and I set up a backup of a usb hard drive to my pcloud storage. This was extremely convenient, because all I had to do was occasionally connect the drive, start the backup service, and that's it. Any changes to the drive would automatically be backed up in the cloud.

    Now I've switched to bazzite,and the pcloud doesn't recognize the external drive as the same device anymore because the path has changed. It treats the drive as a part of the "new" laptop.

    Does anyone have any idea how I could get around this? I don't mind starting from scratch again, I just want to find a way to avoid this in the future.

    Note: I understand that I could just get a raspberry pi or something similar to act as a new dedicated "pcloud backup device" or something like that. I'm looking first for a solution that would work in the case of a new linux PC veing used in the future to do this same job and not loose the connection.

    Edit: I think it would be enough to change the name of the PC, either just for the (pcloud) flatpak or the whole PC.

    Which Ring Should I Use?

    I've got a really fun run going here, with a blooming staff of Blast Wave and platemail of camouflage. Normally those enchantments are not the best, but the combination of knockback, creating grass, and Invisibility when trampling is both tactically amazing and enormous fun.

    But which ring should I use? I can't seem to decide.

    I have some SoU's, so whatever ring I use, I'll probably upgrade it to +3.

    KDE + Gnome on Atomic Fedora

    I need some help here from the experts.

    Some background below, but here's the question:

    Can I run KDE and Gnome on bazzite? How can I install and manage multiple images? I feel silly asking this, but I'm just not finding the correct documentation.

    Background:

    I have been running KDE desktop Bazzite on my PC for a while now, and I'm loving the robust and easy system (not to mention the ease of gaming). But I have found that one program just doesn't work correctly, and I had a game (Stellaris) freeze my system several times.

    I ended up installing EndeavorOS on an older PC to experiment, and found out that the program in question (openAndroidInstaller) requires a Gnome portal to access my hardware. (Long live the Terminal!) Now I suspect that perhaps the game freeze wouldn't happen with Gnome either. So I want to have both on bazzite, but can't figure it out.

    Freerunner Fun (Shattered PD)

    Tiff was such a fun run!

    A found a +3 leather armor early, which I was able to enchant with stone glyph (coverts evasion into damage reduction). This combined with the freerunner evasion abilities was incredibly effective at reducing damage overall.

    The rings of haste and fervor were also a great find, because speed is life for the freerunner. I was so fast that I was occasionally one-hitting enemies before they even woke up! Never experienced that before.

    Finally, the kinetic katana. I was able to save all my SoUs until I found the katana next to the troll blacksmith (found some +2 weapons that did OK until then), and I poured everything I had into it. It was at +9 by the dwarves, and boy did that feel good.

    I’ve been playing less to win and more to try interesting builds lately, but this one was an easy ascension. And man was he fast!
