Okay why is your distro the best? in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] mlxdy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

i'm using Alpine, but I'm not considering it as the best. It's minimal, no bloat and doing all what I want.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 - preparing for school tournament. (lemmy.world)
 

Hi, every year in my school there's Tekken Tag Tournament 2 tournament. As I don't play games too much recently I played that game with teacher recently and I really liked it. Here are my questions:

  1. Which characters and tags are good in that game?
  2. Is there anyone who would like to hop on voice chat and play that game together? Can't find people to play. Right now I'm playing on PS3 as it's easiest way for me. Official servers are still working, but to connect you need online pass which you can easily obtain with jailbroken console. Also there's possibility to play it through emulator through comunnity server, but emulating PS3 require good PC. I have good PC, but because of my setup it'll take time a little bit for me to configurate that.
Are you using systemd or an alternative, what do you recommend? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I had problems with virtualization in Android Studio (I don't plan to use it anymore as it's spyware) on Void Linux, but I love runit.

No, it's not fine. But I agree with the last sentence.

How it can affect compatibility issues with games?

Why you want to switch from systemd? I hate how complex it is, this age verification and that they're trying make make Linux more Windows like, but in that bad way (it's created by people who prefer Windows over Linux so yeah). But if your installation is working and don't have troubles then don't switch.

Switching to "alteratives" shouldn't affect gaming compatibility at all, cause you don't need any daemons to play your games (maybe if you want to host server or use vpn for multiplayer). Remember that systemd is not init system, but software suite which provide init system also. I think that systemd might use more resources than other solutions. Some software can rely on systemd, but when are you installing program from your system repositories it will work cause it's prepared to work if you're using solid Linux distro. I had situation on MX Linux that I downloaded Mullvad VPN from Mullvad's Debian repositories and it wasn't working, because of no systemd. Then I discovered that MX Linux have Mullvad VPN in own repositories and it worked. On every non-systemd Linux distro you can install elogind which is usually preinstalled and it also care about compatibility layer.

If we speak just about other init systems try what you like. My favourite is runit, but the most popular alternatives are OpenRC (this is what I usually using, even right now on laptop and PC) and sysvinit. sysvinit was terrible experience for me on Devuan, on MX Linux okay; OpenRC is just okay, but I have few reasons to hate it.

Systemd is used by the most of people so if something will screw up more people can help you and there's more tutorials on internet, also sometimes you need to tinker more on other init systems from my experience as systemd is more handholding. But using different init system will give important experience and learn you more how your system works.

If you're looking for non-systemd distros check MX Linux which is the really good system, also for not advanced users who just want to run their games. It's using sysvinit and you have GUI tools to control daemons.

I have a PS3 and PC which is able to run RPSC3. I prefer playing over PS3. When playing on console game need online pass, you can obtain it easily with jailbreak like HEN. For emulator players there are special servers.

How can I save my money in crypto privately and safe? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] mlxdy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Understandable. In the past I was fascinated with this idea, but trying to use this in practice disappointed me completely. I'm starting to doubt in it.

What sense is licensing operating system on BSD license? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

It's not about switching your mind, but mine. If you have any arguments PLEASE share with them.

So what do you recommend for storing money privately (except cash)?

For me it's argument why they might be safe. Of course cryptocurrencies in my opinion aren't that safe and I have reasons to think like that, but I don't agree with your agument.

Yeah, I'm thinking about storing Monero.

How can I save my money in crypto privately and safe? (lemmy.world)
 

Hardware wallets like Trezor and Ledger are terrible choice for privacy as they're more like hot wallets. You need to download their shitty electron app to configure your wallet and even if these apps are open-source I can't consider them safe, because they have toooooo much features. At the same time they're missing basic features like connecting through TOR network to them which should be must have as they rely heavily on internet features like online exchanges which can easily reveal your data.

Do you have any idea how to access crypto easily while at the same keep it private and safe?

Can I use Android Studio on Alpine Linux? (lemmy.world)
 

As in title. As I know Android Studio need glibc so I need to use container but how about emulation in container? Is it possible? I have x86_64 CPU.

Change my mind.

Companies are just taking BSD code and don't contribute to it. At the end they're selecting Linux even if there's licensing risk and they have contribute to code. Why? Because Linux have a lot of contributors, that makes it much more advanced system with more features. Also companies which want to support Linux don't have to worry that someone would close their code or code they funded with money. It's not about competition but collaboration. GPL license allowed us also to sell own open-source solutions.

FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD are behind Linux. I love that systems (especially OpenBSD), but I don't see a point in contributing or donating to them. Instead of being ready to use solutions they're trying to be base for commercial closed-source products and it would be great as contributors could get something from that, but they get nothing.

I understand that BSD see closed source as something cool and way to commercialize software, but in today times where a lot of devices have 24/7 access to internet, microphones, cameras and at the same time to sensitive data it's extremely dangerous. Closed source is used to hide backdoors, acts of surveillance and keeping monopoly on market which obviously stop evolution of software.

Please tell me how BSD license can be good solution for operating system. It's not about offending BSD, but as someone who love open source software I hate closed source software I would like to know how I can defend this license.
