  • Yeah I mostly cook whole food but I just need those convenience meat replacements with my dinners. TVP, tofu- or seitan based burgers or sausages, chickpea-, lentil- and buckwheat-noodles and protein powders make it so much easier to get loads of protein than just lentils, peas and rice and keep me way more satiated. Oh sorry I called them burgers and sausages. I didn’t want to confuse the reader. I meant plant based protein sticks and circular shaped pellets ofc.


  • Don’t know about the place you’re living but in Germany the ingredient lists of most vegan convenience products don’t need much research to understand. Some examples:


    Seitan Wild West Burger

    • yeast extract
    • spices
    • rocksalt
    • riceflour
    • carob bean gum

  • Those color settings in nvidia-settings are only available on X11 which is basically the only reason (apart from the long postponed switch to an AMD GPU) I haven’t switched to Wayland. Though desktop effects in KDE are more fluid under Wayland and frametimes in games maybe a bit better I just can’t live with the washed out colors when gaming.



  • Thanks. Seems you’re correct and Sunshine profits from CUDA when using this NVFBC but it doesn’t seem to explicitly depend on it to run. I tried it pretty soon after installing EOS and can’t imagine having installed CUDA so early. Last time I explicitly did it was for Ollama.

    I just looked on that EOS machine on which Sunshine worked right from the start and no CUDA package is installed but nevertheless nvidia-smi shows CUDA Version 13. This seems to be because the nvidia driver brings the CUDA runtime with it which differs from the big CUDA toolkit. I’ll try CachyOS again when I eventually buy an AMD GPU.

    I think you meant Cachy when you pointed out Limine is an option while doing automatic partitioning. And yes this worked very good. I meant that Endeavour doesn’t offer it at that point in install.

    Have a nice week.




  • Recently tried CachyOS on my HTPC. Couldn’t get Sunshine to run. It looked beautiful though and the docs seemed really in-depth. Endeavour (thanks to Arch, I know) is just so stable and fast. Just the right amount of pre-installed stuff like reflector, yay, the firewall-config app for firewalld with sane defaults, nice BTRFS subvolume layout, correct NVidia drivers. Would be nice to have Limine (for BTRFS snapshots) as an option besides SystemD boot and Grub in Calamares but I installed it in addition to SystemD boot. Gaming works tremendously good. Everything else too.

    I really can’t recall the last time an update went wrong. On both of my machines (one Intel, one AMD, both NVidia).



  • A recent famous case that comes to mind is when some independent researchers found an ex-RAF terrorist on the run (or call her whatever your political inclination suits) via facial recognition of photos on social media of a capobeira club. I assume the reference material were some age old photos as she was on the run for decades.

    I don’t know much about facial recognition but I only heard it works damn well and considering OS and phone manufacturers employing it and are confident enough to not have their users locked out or compromise security let’s me assume that it works damn well.







  • Correct. It seems to be a given at every election now. This time in the most populated state in Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia in the municipal elections (local representatives in councils and governors). Their votes grew from 5.1% to 16.5%. That’s aggravating as AfD usually makes jumps that big only in East-Germany and NRW is usually center left. But it was expectable that the sheep let themselves lull in by populists and eventually choose their own butcher again with some very promising & sane alternatives opposed to the US two party system e.g.

    Luckily we have some good liberal and leftist influencers who have managed to pull a lot of younger people out of the grip of the extreme right, but I fear it’s way to less influence. We have our Nick Fuenteses too.


  • Better install Windows 10 IoT and get support till Jan 2032. As a Bonus the, so I heard, best version of Windows 10 will probably phone home minimally to never, won’t rearrange your startmenu, won’t install Candy Crush again and maybe not reset settings so aggressively after updates. Can imagine stuff like news, wallpaper of the day or the graphics in the search bar is left out too.

    Find installation instructions here. Seems they’re inofficially tolerated by Microsoft, because it’s hosted on Github and the iso’s come from MS, AFAIK. I want to try it on Proxmox where I installed 10 with GPU pass-through recently. Using Linux for 8 years now after being a long time Windows user.

    IIRC they offer a way to install 11 without the hardware restrictions too on above site. I don’t know how the gaming situation on 10 (IoT) is and and how much Nvidia, AMD and Intel will still support 10 from now on.

    Edit: corrected send too early cut off sentence
