ah, i see. so the sudden change i noticed was just the last bit: from being tolerated during presidential bid to now after the bid. While she was actually already hated before all of that, which i didn't notice.

honest question: I am out of the loop. Why the sudden hate against kamala harris? I come from a country without a two party system, so we criticize everybody all the time.

i think its not about the camera, but about the screen you are seeing the recording on. Imagine taking a video in landscape but having to check what you are recording in portrait. What would i want that disadvantage for?

Btw i find the many people who watch wide screen videos in portrait mode fucked up.

Update: its probably because flatpak. I found some solution that i will try tomorrow: https://gitlab.com/TomaszDrozdz/librewolf-firefox-keepassxc-flatpak

 

Hi, i am on KDE Neon and would like to use Browser Integration with KeePassXC and the guides say i should use a custom browser configuration location similar to the one of firefox. This worked on Kubuntu, when chosing Browser type: Firefox and using the native-messaging-hosts location of Librewolfs.

But this time i dont have one:

:~$ locate native-messaging-hosts
/etc/chromium/native-messaging-hosts
/etc/chromium/native-messaging-hosts
org.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json
/etc/opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts
/etc/opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts/rg.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json
/etc/opt/edge/native-messaging-hosts
/etc/opt/edge/native-messaging-hosts/org.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json
/home/klayneon/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts
/home/klayneon/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/org.keepassxc.keepassxc_browser.json
/home/klayneon/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts
/home/klayneon/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/org.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json
/usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts
/usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/org.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json

There are several Browsers and i was expecting the one for Librewolf, like on the other machine...

edit: i think its because this time i chose that flatpak.

What do i do now?

Thank you!

If you recommend Firefox, i think in the context of privacy / data hoarding, i think it is best to recommend Librewolf too.

Alright, thank you ;-)

[–] klay@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

so your experience is really close to what i am looking for. Since you say its good, then i will go for it. Thanks!

[–] klay@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

Very good! The article seems very detailed. Thanks

you’d still be limited by the now ancient rx480, so your CPU will be running laps around it while it struggles to ouput 30 fps in modern games. The speed of the ram isn’t great, but since the GPU is so slow, I don’t think it’ll really matter.

I’d recommend the following upgrade path [...]

Thanks for your hint especially with the PSU and cables i am more confident now. But did you read that i don't do so much gaming? And if i do then its grand strategy games (CPU heavy) or kcd2, which should run ok because kcd1 was already acceptable in my current system. Would you still recommend a GPU upgrade and your mentioned upgrade path?

[–] klay@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

that is very good news, thank you. I was actually ok with the kcd1 performance, had decent fps at least outside of towns. If kcd2 is even better, than i should do just fine. Thanks guys!

CPU, boards and RAM sticks barely degrade over time

thank you! I actually buy used things often, just with CPUs i didn't, assuming i never know if people did overclocking or abuse them... Do you think it is safe enough? Then i would totally do it.

The 5600 comes with a stock cooler

I was going to buy it 'tray', as they cost more boxed (15- 30€). And i heard that boxed coolers are often bad. I would try to get a better cooler for a budget close to that difference.

[–] klay@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

is kcd2 that resource hungry? I never checked and assumed it were at least a little closer to kcd1, which ran fine on my current setup.

 

Hey guys, please review my upgrade considerations.

Goal: good bang for the buck upgrade. No need for high end. Just a cheap but good step forward. Does my choice make sense or do you think this little step is not worth it? I am a little flexible on the budget. Is there something more valuable in that range?

Duties:

  • mostly workstation / office / many browser tabs / hobby programming (small projects) / a couple apps incl. electron apps running at the same time
  • little gaming (grand strategy). So far the GPU and RAM are ...fine, i guess. I will upgrade them some time in the future, to play KCD2
  • no video editing, almost no 3d modeling, little virtualization, no Image processing

Current system:

  • i5-7600K CPU
  • MS-7A71 mainboard
  • 16 GiB of RAM (slow 2133 MT/s)
  • Radeon RX 480 Graphics

Low cost upgrade idea:

  • AMD Ryzen 5 5600 6x 3.50GHz So.AM4 90€
    • there is a 5600X for 100€ but just 1% faster in benchmarks
  • Gigabyte B550 Gaming X V2 AMD B550 So.AM4 Dual Channel DDR4 ATX Retail € 106
    • There are B550s for 10€ cheaper but this one supports my old DDR4-2133 RAMs and up to DDR4-3200

196€ for a good upgrade doesn't sound too bad. I probably need a new cooler too because of the new socket. I could get faster RAMs but figured that i would probably not feel the difference. These give me upgrade options in the future but don't cost much right now, since i hope to keep all other parts (PSU, midi tower, etc.). Is it correct, that i don't need a new PSU since the power consumption does not increase (for now)? And does the old PSU cable fit the new mainboard?

What else do i need to consider?

Thank you :-)
