I have some software running (behind cloudflare and results tailored to Brazil on SearXNG because of the brazilian IP):
- Redlib (Reddit front-end and proxy)
- Kittygram (Instagram front-end and proxy)
- SearXNG (Metasearch engine)
Feel free to use on Libredirect or directly!

On the .desktop file, I don’t think it can load .desktop files, but it can load an .exe with a specified version of wine or proton, going to the + at the top left, then add manually an already installed game, then selecting the runner to be wine, select the path to the .exe, then select the wine version at the runner options, then you can create a desktop file with lutris.
If you changed /etc/hosts, it might be that, about the receiving info from the server on this:
002c:err:winediag:getaddrinfo Failed to resolve your host name IP 0024:fixme:ntdll:NtQuerySystemInformation info_class SYSTEM_PERFORMANCE_INFORMATIONBut the proton version might help as well (I didn’t understand the problem specifically)
Did you try running it with proton on a clean wine prefix? It already comes with a lot of dependencies.
Maybe proton-cachyos-slr or Proton-GE.
Edit: Proton-GE has better compatibility
Edit 2: About the address info, did you change your /etc/hosts file?

Linux@lemmy.ml•[Experiment] Using a cheap Intel Optane as a swap partition
6·9 days agoI read that people use it for servers boot images too. Seems very versatile.

Yeah, the reads are A LOT faster than my ssd and the latency is nil.

Linux@lemmy.ml•[Experiment] Using a cheap Intel Optane as a swap partition
32·9 days agoA line of memory from Intel that’s like NAND, but it’s not NAND. It’s 3D Xpoint, very good at random reads or sequential reads.
sudo hdparm -t /dev/nvme0n1p1 /dev/nvme0n1p1: Timing buffered disk reads: 2682 MB in 3.00 seconds = 893.33 MB/secsudo hdparm -t /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 670 MB in 3.01 seconds = 222.89 MB/secEdit: when the swap was at my main drive, the sequential reads were like 140 MB/s

2·9 days agoI only tested with those applications, but I could benchmark using my ssd vs the drive tomorrow or later. Download a RAM heavy game or something.
Do you have a recommendation?

privacy@lemmy.ca•What is better in Estonia positon.xyz or BeaconDB?
1·18 days agoAbout quality (I don’t live in Estonia, but I’m trying to help), BeaconDB seemed better or equal to positon.
About privacy, I believe that positon is related to e/OS and microg and BeaconDB is independent, with its code being open source, but the beacon data is closed and not released, so you can’t self-host the server without the data, but you can probably get the data from ip based sources (like dbip) and opencellid.
That’s all I know about this.
Edit: The discussion on releasing the BeaconDB data, it’s very interesting

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How does your internal monologue work?
2·23 days agoIt depends, if it’s a problem I’m trying to solve, if it’s a presentation that I’m going to do, if I need to communicate with someone. Like I thought about responding this, while trying to observe how it works.
Normally there are a lot of monologues happening at the same time and I’m probably listening to music too, so I’m like 30 seconds thinking about something, pass to another something and then the good part of the music comes. I took ADHD meds once and damn, this completely disappeared hahahaha.
But, depending on the thing, if it’s a concept I’m trying to tackle, normally it’s just me alone passing through it, its ramifications, consequences, basis, etc. If I’m trying to talk to someone, I like to imagine them and interact with myself playing as them. Sometimes it’s like yours, two of me separated from me “debating”.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I know I sound like an incel, but is there any race that biracial women go with besides always being with white guys?
41·23 days agoRead “Black skin white masks” from Fanon. He talks about this phenomenon and race in general.
Edit: Explaining a little bit about what’s on the book on this.
Basically, on the racist framework of society, black will always be bad, being black as the worst and lowest of the social hierarchy. Being mixed, means almost white, almost there, so a white man is the necessary status to be or feel white, also kids would be whiter. Going with a black man means going back, retrograding into a state of blackness, etc.
I’m not saying this about these women specifically, but at the structural level, what is expected in relation to race.
Edit 2: wording

Ask@piefed.social•Are there any developments for a satellite constellation hacker group that provides internet service globally to bypass censorship?
3·23 days agoMaybe stealing some starlink certificates and building a phased array antenna? Some mapping of the satellites can predict where they are within a year or two, so someone can map the starlink junk in space to communicate with it and take the best satellite with the phased array antenna.
Idk, just thinking.

2·1 month agoI think this might be some heavy weight companies doing this, blocking their proxy nodes might be an option, or captchas to create posts, registrations, comments, etc.
They are automating sending these posts, like in the log on the screenshot, fortunately my instance is private.

Yes, proton-cachyos (from lutris or protonplus) can run the installer and the game.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What to do after getting a domain name?
92·2 months agoIn your scenario, I would prefer to tunnel to the outside, as it could be risky to just open a port on your router and open a port on your computer. In this case, pointing the IP to a vps that your PC tunnels to or putting the record in cloudflares DNS, that way no automatic port searcher will try to nuke your network. There is dynamic DNS too.
There is cloudflare and other options too.
Edit: I do this with cloudflare, but privacy is very much not given with them.
















Hagezi normal is the best one, in my opinion. No false positive ever and more lightweight than the others, also has a good coverage. Adguard domains is nice too.
On filterlists there are a lot of them, ublock, domains, IPs, hosts (ipv4 and ipv6), etc.
