Does Linux emit random sounds or wake up in the middle of the night?
  • I think you should be able to disable notification sounds on pretty much any distro and desktop environment out there. For example I use Fedora with KDE and you can just open up System Sounds and uncheck "Enable Notification Sounds" and it'll just be quiet.

    As for waking up from sleep randomly, I never noticed it wake from sleep randomly. I vaguely remember it doing that when I had Windows installed on it a few times.

    I was about to be real sad seeing his picture and reading the first 5 words of the headline, but the last two really made my day. I feel like no one makes it past like 3 weeks in hospice care, but he's still going

  • To Americans: How far apart is everything in the US?
  • It kinda depends on where you live. I live in the suburbs near a few large metropolitan areas and I do have a supermarket within a 10 minute walk of me, and a bigger supermarket a 30 min walk away, but there are definitely places where you need a car to go shopping cuz theres no sidewalks or all the roads are like 45mph+ and really only designed for car transit.

    I've got family who live in Texas and they say that there's lots of places that are drive thru, like banks and dry cleaners and stuff.

    I had a coworker at one of my previous jobs transfer to our US branch from the UK and he said that a lot of his friends were asking him if he was gonna visit Disney World, since he was moving to "just outside of New York City" (read: Pennsylvania, lmao) He said a lot of them were shocked to realize that its like an 18 hour drive from NYC to Disney World in Florida.

    Another thing about that job, there was no realistic way for me to get to it by public transit. It was a half an hour drive, but about 3 hours of combined public transit + walking and needed me to take two trains and a bus.

  • I'm thinking of building a PC - any advice?
  • I personally don't do a lot of Blender work outside of a super basic render with like one or two light sources and never really used it much when i still had an Nvidia card so I can't really speak to it, unfortunately. I've never really experienced any crashes or issues or anything, outside of a regression in one of the versions of rocm-hip that was eventually patched.

  • I'm thinking of building a PC - any advice?
  • I'd avoid a 13th or 14th gen Intel processor right now because they've had a lot of problems with their manufacturing process. Otherwise, there's not really much difference between AMD and Intel in terms of like, OS compatibility or anything.

    I've done some basic work with Davinci Resolve on linux and I haven't really had any issues with my Radeon 7800XT. I can't really speak for using the proprietary drivers for AMD, but with the open source drivers, as long as you install rocm-opencl through your package manager, Davinci Resolve should be fine. Overall, I'd recommend an AMD GPU. Edit: You mentioned blender in a comment. For AMD's open source drivers you'd need to install rocm-hip for Cycles to work

    Edit 2: I hadn't tried blender in a bit and I realized apparently at least on Fedora 40, you also need rocm-hip-devel at least as of 09/24/24 for supported AMD GPUs to show up in Blender. Idk how that would translate to other distros

    PC Part Picker is good cuz when you start a new build, you start with the CPU and then it'll only show you parts compatible with that CPU. As someone else mentioned tho, its not perfect and you still may want to check clearances between parts, like that your CPU cooler isnt too tall for your case, or that your Power Supply isnt too long (been there, lmao)

    From my own personal experience with buying brand new RAM and it being bad a few times, I'd probably run memtest86+ for a few hours once the computer is together to make sure that the RAM actually works. You can download the linux ISO w/ GRUB option and make a bootable flash drive out of that and let it run. Afterwards, I usually install my OS. Might save you a few headaches down the road if you get into your new OS and things behave strangely, but its up to you.

    Other than that, the setup shouldn't be too hard.

  • How did people poop before smartphones were invented?
  • they didnt. Thats why people only lived to be like, 30 at most back then.

  • B52x
  • I have long believed that any story that takes place in the far future and the USA still exists, but the B-52 is not still flying around space or whatever is unrealistic.

  • Decision time
  • Funny enough I started getting more commission work through Twitter and have been focusing on that recently. The website I'm making was gonna be to serve as an art portfolio and advertise my commission services lmao

  • What are the best video games full of references to other media?
  • The Henry Stickmin Collection is a set of games that were on Newgrounds that is a choose your own adventure game with a ton of references to other things. From Marvel VS Capcom 2's Ironman Infinite combo to Jojo.

    It's made by the same developers as Among Us

    It's a pretty fun 2D beat-em-up made by the dev of HoloCure, with contributions from others in the fandom. It's the latest Steam release under holo Indie.

    Proper online mode had to be delayed, so its currently single player, but there's an option to use Steam Remote Play to play with friends that way

    Works fine for me on Fedora Linux with Proton Experimental
