I think it might actually be just turning the display off now that you mention it. Here are the xfce4-power-manager settings I have for the display:

I most certainly do not know how this specific thing is xD

I will say however, you took the saying “Improvise, Adapt, Overcome” to heart haha

Thanks for the info! It would be good to be aware of the term

Just a sidenote about ntfs & ext4.

ntfs doesnt require defragmentation on SSDs, and it actually might lower the lifespan of your SSD because of the increase in unnecessary read/writes.

ext4 IIRC works just fine as long as your drive is at most 90% full and you keep that last 10% free.

Its been a while since i read up on that fact about ext4 so someone more experienced can correct me if im wrong

You’ve done what now?

Whats alt-tech?

After the situation with his former employee (i forget her name) coming out and exposing how toxic of a work environment that company is, i completely stopped watching (not that i was a regular viewer before) and do not give their vids the slightest bit of my time

I scripted something similar for my bspwm setup. They are useful

Because thats what you’ve been brainwashed to think the world wants, so thats what you hear

Will install it now and check it out. Ill save this thread so i can give feedback in the future :)

Thanks! I just joined and registered on the server. It will be good to have that available :)

Please could you guide me through that? How would I check that its set to e1000? I looked at the xml and and the model type is e1000, but again, I’m not sure im looking in the right place. Up to now I have been rawdogging qemu, so im not that familiar with virt-manager

I considered that, and the reason I decided to go with the method I chose was twofold:

1. I of course need to be safe - that means I don’t want to run unsafe kernel code on my main machine, so a virtual machine makes sense. I could use one of my old laptops as both a host and target machine, but honestly I have my main machine set up just how I like it for development so I would probably end up using it for writing the actual code anyway. I suppose I could have one of my laptops be the target and pull code from github (exactly what I was planning to do with the virtual machine just with real hardware).

2. I didn’t want to introduce more problems than would naturally occur when going through the book while learning, by adding the fact that I have a great mismatch in kernel versions, which would undoubtedly change the APIs a great deal. I learn better when I can focus on getting comfortable with one thing at the beginning, and then building from there. If its not as tragic as I imagine it though (the mountain looks larger before you start the climb) I would definitely prefer getting comfortable with the modern kernel as ultimately that’s what I plan to develop on (this all started because I want to fix some stuff with my Genesis Xenon 770 mouse that I’m unhappy with currently).

However, I am open to the idea. Could you direct me to any resources you found helpful specifically for adapting what you read/learn in that book, to the modern kernel? Or any other helpful resources really, anything would be helpful at this point. Discords, forums, wikis, whatever you have :)

I’ve got it set up like that. In my NIC section, under device model, the selected option is e1000e, but still no eth0 interface or anything other than lo and sit0

Edit: unless I misunderstood and that’s not enough to use the e1000 driver

Definitely don’t take my word for it, im no onion expert either. I might be translating it wrong, or it might just be what ive got used to calling it my whole life :)

Ill be honest I planted this on a whim a few months ago when it was still summer over here (around september). They basically didnt sprout until a month ago, and I wasn’t really watering them consistently. They sprouted with the first rain we had all on their own, so yea im inclined to agree with you xD

Not sure of exact date, but it was around 2005-2006 and I had saved up enough money to get me a lego N1 starfighter kit from star wars. Last time remember feeling genuine joy

The weird thing is it worked perfectly fine before. Discord crashed a d due to my setup (bspwm + sxhkd) it for some reason causes those to crash as well, so when i unlock i have no ability to shutdown properly, so i have to use the physical power button. When I turned it back on, poof steam didnt work. Probably an update that i did before the crash, which became active on reboot.

I want to avoid flatpacks, and I dont want to have to use it just for steam and nothing else.

Nope, I dont.
