  • Except for my home directory, I have a little bit state on my machine, ssh host keys, WiFi credentials, journal logs (I almost want to remove this, but I bet that would bite me in the ass one day)

    The root partition is a tmpfs ram disk, and everything not saved in a separate partition, and either mounted or symlinked on to my root partition is lost at shutdown and regenerated at boot. Its less than a second extra to boot, and it uses about 16MB extra memory. Everything is made very convenient through the impermanence nix module and the sops nix module



  • The answer is a bit complicated. Linux has a long history with HDR where you would need exact software and hardware, or else no HDR… Just know that it will get easier because the ball has already started to roll in the correct direction.

    But the shortest way I can say it now,

    If you use Valve’s game mode, (which is possible to get either using steamos, bazzite, chimera OS, nobara, or you can manually set it up. You should be able to get it to work. This should work for windows games that support HDR. AFAIK there are no Linux games yet supporting HDR. It should be possible to get videos playing with HDR also, but that would be an exercise for the reader, or wait until people make it easier.

    Please correct me if I am wrong, but I currently believe the newest version, of KDE and Gnome are now HDR ready. If I am wrong you might just need the newest beta which will become stable Q2 this year.

    Playing videos, I believe the newest version of MPV just got HDR support. With more apps incoming.

    Anything that let’s a gamepad or a remote browse your videos? AFAIK not yet, but be patient, as this is all new
















  • Hahahaha, this is almost what happened to my daughter 2 years ago.

    Neighbor is Vi, wife is Filipina. I don’t know why the viet neighbor family don’t celebrate Halloween, they are catholics (don’t know how many viet are) and their youngest kid is a teenager. But that is their business, so I don’t put my nose down that rabbit hole. Daughter then 3, rings their door bell for trick or treat. She insisted, in ringing their doorbell, it’s the only house she insisted rining, why? Because we told her trick or treating is going out to scare the neighbors. And the word neighbor is mostly used to our next door Viet neighbors, because our doors are so close.

    Anyway, daughter ring the door bell. They don’t have anything ready, the mother goes and gets a pack of instant noodles for my daughter. This made my daughter so happy, all the candy she got was secondary to this pack of instant noodles. The memory of these noodles outlived the memory of any candy she got both two years ago and last year. She rang the door bell again this year but they didn’t open, she now 5, was mildly sad that she didn’t get another pack of noodles.
