Linux mint PS4-PS5 controllers in c/[email protected]

I have DS4 working in Arch with Wine. As someone else mentioned, the hid-playstation kmod just worked out of the box. The key for some games to work properly was to add a SDL2 gamepad mapping.

Also see section 3.10 here which may be relevant: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamepad

Does any tracker support bittorrent v2? in c/piracy

Several do, specifically Radiance and Torrust-Tracker that I know of off-hand. There are definitely others.

A recent project of mine was a utility for creating v2/hybrid torrents, and I'd like to follow it up with a client and maybe tracker in the future.

3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup? in c/[email protected]

[–] liliumstar 1 points 4 months ago

I have a storage VPS and use Borg backup with Borgmatic. In my case, I have multiple systems in different repos on the remote. There are several providers, such as hetzner, borgbase, and rsync.net that offer borg storage, in the event you don't want to manage the server yourself.

What file explorer does qBittorrent use? (Debian/KDE) in c/[email protected]

I believe you can set dolphin to be like this. I have it so I can either double click to go into a folder, or expand it for the tree view.

Which (Lenovo) notebooks to buy when coming from Apple Silicon? in c/[email protected]

[–] liliumstar 4 points 4 months ago

Both the T14s and X1 Carbon would be good options. I also have an x390 which I quite like.

Crypto in c/[email protected]

It's increasingly harder to exchange for fiat anonymously, especially when you consider XMR or other privacy coins. Once the people in charge of money realized they were a bit subverted, you got the huge crackdown.

I still use it for various things. Buy LTC from a legit licensed exchange. Move it around a bit. Change to XMR through an exchange that doesn't care. Maybe move it around some more. It's a giant pain, but I don't know a better way. This method isn't perfect, more of a balance of risk, but it's better than just handing your entire entity over for a simple transaction.

I don't know how steamos works, but if it's arch-based, can you just do pacman -Syu to update?

kitty, nvim, fish, zed, mpv, btop, borg. Weird how all the gone ones have short names. Depending on the system, I would add tlp as well.

Rofi is cool but don't forget about qalculate (the backend)
