don’t know why you’d want to? you may trust your dns server but without dns over https the dns requests themselves are sent plaintext and are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attack. with dns over https the dns requests are encrypted and that encryption would have to be broken for a MITM attacker to see your requests. more security is better and dns over https costs virtually nothing to use in terms of cpu resources.

edit: oh do you mean whole system mullvad VPN? if so, then yeah dns over https doesn’t really help much but it’s also still a case of why bother turning it off when there’s no benefit to it.

this may help, if you’re using apparmour.

on a bowden system yes, but just ever so slightly. not any more than you could fix with retraction and other settings, and prolly only nylon and other flexible ones you should be doing in a direct dirve anyway would be affected.

and even if it were worn down that much it wouldn’t cause any problem as the entire tube is made of the same slippery stuff, it’s not a coating.

sounds like maaaaybe too little ram and no swap? what is your ram size and do you have any swap or zram enabled? i kinda doubt it because multiple distros should have a swap space or zram on by default on a fresh install but maybe not or you explicitly chose not to and it’s running out of memory.

fuckin yikes

uh, the drama being what it is about people in positions of power blocking efforts to make a welcoming and diverse nixos community, persisting right wing concern trolling, and especially what appears to be maybe a military tech company takeover of nixos, it’s hella understandable people would want to reconsider using this tech on their own hardware and it’s pretty sus to respond to this with ‘ah just drama it’ll blow over’…

bonkers this shit has 10 upvotes lmao

using llm ai for tech support is monumentally stupid lmao

i think it’s that only the most desperate people would want to do something as boring as pencil sales.

“free yourself from your oppressor before we recognize your existence” is pretty goddamn fucked up.

i just have it set to always on. there’s no reason you need the bluer light in the day and you get used to it. less eye strain is less eye strain.

everyone else has great responses but i want to address the snappiness of kde. it’s fairly common advice to disable file indexing, you can find it in the settings app. it can cause some desktop sluggishness and really isn’t necessary.

the difference between the lockdowns where there was understandably a drastic drop in crime to after lockdowns were lifted does not a trend make; it’s an externality, and the only rise i referenced. comparing pre lockdown to post lockdown there is a clear continued drop in crime overall. i referenced this lockdown ‘rise’ particularly because it’s what media and fascists have used to pursue greater police budgets and stricter laws and campaigning, and it is misleading at best to parrot their fear mongering over ‘rising crime’ especially without any data to back it up.

you’re the one asserting there’s def an established trend of rising crime and dismissing data that shows you wrong while still offering no data yourself.

where’s your data showing this trend of rising crime that has not stopped, bud? because everything i’ve seen shows less crime than before lockdown with only comparing to during lockdowns looking like any increase. they offered data, you offer none except the assumption that there def is a trend in rising crime.

awesome!

fyi: i used garuda for a few months and while i loved it, i did have some stability problems and couldn’t solve it and also found some garuda team on their forums to be fairly rude in some cases so i switched to endeavourOS. it’s very very similar to garuda, also arch based, except i’ve had no stability issues and found their website faq and articles and forum much more helpful and kind to noobs than most distros and i liked that a lot.

this isn’t to say don’t use garuda or anything but that if you do have issues then endeavourOS is an easy sidestep with also great gaming performance and similarly solid theming.

also if you need to use EA app i recommend installing through heroic games launcher; the lutris script seems fucked for now.

also also look up setting up a single gpu passthrough windows vm and how to hide hypervisor for any games that flat out don’t work on proton like fortnite or in my weird case sniper elite v2, and i think also pubg is borked still. some anticheat games are working but sadly some are still being stubborn. this solves that without dual booting or windows getting it’s own partition.

similarly if you’re using arrow keys to move the cursor where you want, ctrl + arrow key moves you along word by word instead of letter by letter.
