No swap, swap or swap with hibernate? And do you change the swappiness setting?

On the kernel security list we've seen a huge bump of reports. We were between 2 and 3 per week maybe two years ago, then reached probably 10 a week over the last year with the only difference being only AI slop, and now since the beginning of the year we're around 5-10 per day depending on the days (fridays and tuesdays seem the worst). Now most of these reports are correct, to the point that we had to bring in more maintainers to help us.

Something I'm predicting is that at least it will change the approach to security fixes: [ ... ] software that used to follow the "release-then-go-back-to-cave" model will have to change to start dealing with maintenance for real, or to just stop being proposed to the world as the ultimate-tool-for-this-and-that because every piece of software becomes a target.

[ ... ]

Overall I think we're going to see a much higher quality of software, ironically around the same level than before 2000 when the net became usable by everyone to download fixes. When the software had to be pressed to CDs or written to millions of floppies, it had to survive an amazing quantity of tests that are mostly neglected nowadays since updates are easy to distribute. But before this happens, we have to experience a huge mess that might last for a few years to come! Interesting times...

Today’s game is House Flipper. It’s free to keep on steam apparently (no idea why but I assume it has to do with the sequel or remaster or whatever it is they’re doing). I’ve always wanted to dabble in this game but could never justify the price. It always felt like something I could dick around in for an evening and have fun but not sink a serious number of hours into.

Anyways. I painted the starting house. It was a chill experience. The painting is maddening though. Super tedious and slow. I ended up putting on some music and later got my partner in call with me and we chatted while I flipped houses. It was all worth it though in the end for that lovely purple wall.

I did end up putting the door on backwards by accident though. So that was a mistake. I’m too lazy to fix it so I hope I live in a good neighborhood and no one tries to rob me.

Today’s screenshots will be a bit short, which I think ties perfectly back to my introduction. Do I think this game met my expectations? Yes. After I completed what I wanted to do to the starting house I felt kind of aimless. Like. What else could I do? Go do another job? I know some people adore the kind of game where you do the same thing over and over again and I respect that. But I don’t think I’m that kind of person. I think ultimately this is a game where I dick around for a few hours and have fun for an evening before doing something else.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a self-hosted affiliate tracking tool after running into a common issue with existing solutions like Rewardful or FirstPromoter.

Most of them require full read-access to your billing provider (Stripe/Paddle) and operate as closed, managed services. That means handing over sensitive financial data and trusting a black-box system for attribution.

I wanted something different:

self-hosted transparent privacy-first

So I built RefearnApp — a self-hosted affiliate tracking engine.

🧠 Why this approach No third-party data access → everything runs on your own infrastructure **Transparent attribution logic **→ affiliates can verify how tracking works **Full data ownership **→ all relationships and logs stay in your database **No forced subscriptions **→ you can run it without ongoing costs ⚙️ Deployment Docker-ready Works with Coolify or any VPS Lightweight enough to run alongside existing services 🔓 Open source model

The core engine is AGPL-3.0 and fully self-hostable.

I’m following an open-core approach:

core functionality is free and open optional paid features support ongoing development 🔗 Repo

I’d really appreciate feedback from people here — especially around:

setup experience architecture decisions anything missing for a self-hosted workflow

Apple is reportedly paying premium prices for memory and absorbing the cost to secure supply and pressure rivals

I have an nvidia gpu, and run some apps through flatpak. And there is weird problem of gpu acceleration suddenly just stops working in flatpak apps.

Normally when i for example run zoom, i can stream my screen no problem, blender gets full performace from gpu. But if run these programs some time later, zoom just shows black screen, and blender lags so much.

In between this time, i did not do anything to installed packages. I did not do a system update, i did not update flatpak packages. Everything should have been working as it worked earlier but it doesnt.

I found out that in between that time, new nvidia driver version is released on flathub, and updating nvidia driver package specifically, fixes gpu acceleration in flatpak apps. But now i have a question, why does already installed driver suddelnly stops working, until i update it?

This laptop was my first experiment into installing linux, I have since expanded to installing linux OS to all my devices. Since then, I now would like to circle back to this very slow, very old PC and install a light weight distro on it. It would act like a back up for writing emails and using Obsidian for putting together client info sheets if my main PC ever had an issue. I would only need to install Waterfox and Obsidian.

But I had a curiosity about SNES emulators? What if I could use this lil guy to play old super mario? Is there an emulator for that and will this junk be able to run it? Which distro would be ideal for this, if at all possible? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

I posted about this issue a week ago:

Currently, instance bans and community bans are treated as two separate things. When a user is banned from an instance, you’ll often see in the logs a bunch of community bans alongside it at once (at least from Lemmy communities). These are communities that user has posted on. An instance ban automatically applies hard-bans to communities they have interacted in from that instance. But the problem here is its only communities they’ve interacted in.

The instance ban itself is simply a rejection of federation. It doesn’t block users from posting in communities on that instance - only the community bans do that. It just means their posts won’t federate out. This means that an instance banned user can continue to be a nuisance in most communities (or all, if they are pre-emptively banned) on an instance locally - and the moderators of that community and instance won’t even know because they don’t view their community from there. With larger numbers of users would also mean larger amounts of trolls and incompatible users, which could greatly increase the chance of people simply vandalising communities and no-one even noticing.

Lemmy 1.0 promises to fix this apparently from their end, but I think at least for as Piefed is concerned we could get in on this first. We need a hard block on all Piefed accounts from being to interact on any community that is from an instance they are bannedfrom. We also need a way before that for Piefed based communities to automatically throw out all comments made even locally by instance banned accounts based from Lemmy.

It's now been implemented on the latest piefed. A Piefed user instance banned from anywhere will now be hard-banned from all communities on that instance to prevent them from being a local menace unbeknownst the moderators of those communtiies. But all Piefed instances need to update.

Seeing as the game happily lists Mithral and Storm Leather as things that can be used for equipment and upgrades without them existing (currently) in the survival portion of the game, is it the same with the memories?

I'm at 196/200 for the last things to unlock and it's getting very difficult to find something new. The progress bar indicates there would be ~50 more things which seems ... incredible.

Anybody knows?

You'll get taken to a random community. Once you arrive there's a link at the top of the page to /r/random so you can just hammer away at that until you get somewhere that's the right combo of random and interesting.

There is also /r/randnsfw that takes you to a random nsfw communty if your instance has them.
