  • Wow, I had no idea about the green button info, thanks! I am not too bothered about VRR (it seems totally broken on Wayland for my GPU at the moment anyways, and I have been fine without it so far), but I bought this TV for the 120Hz and good colors, which so far have been mutually exclusive :P

  • Good to hear. Yeah, I am starting to have my doubts about this cable...

  • My understanding is that it doesn't have VRR for people (at least without the special firmware, which indeed only works for some). Not seen anything about it not supporting 4k@120Hz, though maybe I missed it as I read so many different threads about this topic...

  • Ohh neat, thanks for sharing! Maybe I will bite the bullet and buy that one... it's a shame that the recommended one doesn't work, but ah well :)

    Unable to set 4k120Hz via Cable Matters DP->HDMI 2.1 converter

    I recently purchased a LG OLED C2 TV, which supports 4k120Hz but only has HDMI 2.1 ports. I am aware of HDMI 2.1 being an issue on AMD, even though my GPU is Nvidia (RTX 3060Ti) I want to switch to AMD in the future, so I opted to invest in an AMD-friendly setup. I purchased the Cable Matters active DisplayPort -> HDMI 2.1 converter mentioned in this Reddit thread, which purportedly can do 4k120. However, when I change it from the default 4k60 modeline to 4k120, the TV shows a "no signal" message. In fact, to get 120Hz I need to drop the resolution down to 1440p.

    Even though I'm not going for VRR (yet), I also tried flashing the VRR-enabled "Spyder" firmware just in case it fixes the refresh rate (it does not). I tested every DP port on the 3060Ti as well, with no changes. What might I be doing wrong?

  • Right, I should have mentioned despite being French I live in Germany. Still, can't hurt to join any demonstrations against this.

  • This is good... but partially admits defeat. It's a good fallback though.

  • Money: yes Bodies: no thank you

    How could I most effectively monetarily hurt politicians, who are specifically voting for chat control? I am already boycotting the US, but that's a much bigger/easier target than specific parts of the French government.

  • Typo, meant to write "party" The French party against it that replied to me is le groupe des Verts/ALE. They will have my vote on the next election.

  • What can I, as a EU citizen, do to stop this? I already sent (handwritten) emails to my French representatives several times, but only got one response from a minority part^ that agrees.

  • What makes a flake config a flake config is simply the flake.nix entry point. So, technically if you read that file to see what file it loads for the nixosConfiguration you want to "port", you should be able to just go directly from that file and bypass the flake.nix. For the longest time, my own flake simply forwarded to my configuration.nix.

    However, depending on your needs of course, but using flakes even at a basic level can be very useful and I'd 100% encourage doing a basic setup for someone starting out. The main feature here is being able to lock your dependencies (including nixpkgs) to a specific commit, which means you will always get the same resulting setup (not depending on when you installed it, like it does without flakes). But, you know better than me the requirements of your own setup :)

  • They mention better controller rumble support… if this allows rumble to work on the Linux version, maybe I can retire my hacky mod :)

  • This will be my first christmas since moving to Aachen, looking forward to it! Hope it's not too crowded :)

  • Yeah, we use Windows servers primarily. Thankfully what I do doesn't require much interaction with them, though every once in a while I am subjected to SMB file sharing.

  • My work self hosts Gitea because Forgejo doesn't support Windows. While I agree with Forgejo's decision, it sucks to be basically stuck with an old pre-fork version of the forge I self-host.

  • Yet enforcing your copyright is exclusive to the rich. I had to move off of GitHub because of Microsoft infringing my code licenses and selling them as "GitHub Copilot", and I have no way of fighting back/recover my losses.

  • Thanks for the warning, that sucks. I'm only interested in the local functionality, so this should not affect me I think!

    Advice: Is the Tado wired thermostat V3 a good idea?

    Hi! I hope this post is on-topic enough. I've just moved into a flat in Germany and its thermostat has an incredibly loud clock ticking every second. My landlord allows me to replace it, so I looked for options and learned it uses a proprietary interface (Vaillant 7-8-9) and my only real option is from the brand Tado. I e-mailed them and confirmed their V3+ wired model is compatible... but costs 220€; way above my budget. However, if I set the site to Germany the price drops to 100€.

    Before spending so much on a device (100€ is still a lot!), I'd love to check whether I can use it with Home Assistant. I recently installed it on a spare SBC and got the zbdongle-e working, ready to start connecting things. I found (cw: AI image) this blog post that says it works by having HA emulate Apple's HomeKit, does this mean it should work fine, regardless of the zbdongle-e? Should I be aware of an

    Student dorm does not allow wifi routers

    I just moved into a student dorm for a semester abroad, and beforehand I emailed them asking whether they had ethernet ports to plug my router into (I use it to connect all my devices, and for WiVRn VR streaming). They confirmed that I could, but now that I'm here the wifi login portal is asking me to accept these terms from the ISP, which forbid plugging in a router. There's another clause that forbids "Disruptive Devices" entirely, defined as:

    “Disruptive Device” means any device that prevents or interferes with our provision of the 4Wireless to other customers (such as a wireless access point such as wireless routers) or any other device used by you in breach of the Acceptable Use Policy;

    So what are my options? I don't think I can use this service without accepting the terms, but also I was told by the student dorm support that I could bring a router, which contradicts this.

    EDIT: some additional context:

    • dorm provider is a company separate from my uni (they have an agreement
