Where do I get some "normal" Keycaps, like in the image?
I am living in Germany and I need some Keycaps, which are not expensive. They don't need to be special, they just need to... work.
See https://lemmy.world/comment/9404186 for a Solution. Spoiler: switching from NVIDIA to an AMD GPU fixed the issue.

I also had problems with NVIDIA and I made the tough decision to buy a new Graphics card. After switching to an AMD GPU, the Audio issues were also gone... Don't ask me why, I'm just happy, that I have a working setup now.
Thanks, I might give it a try. I am not settled yet but FCOS sounds very promising. We will see.
Fedora has an annoying release cadence IMO. I have experienced desktop bugs in the early GA releases before which put me off. If I wanted instability I would sooner go with Arch (and I am yet to have many issues with Arch yet).
Do you mean they are too frequent, or what do you mean?
I am also curious. FreeBSD is, in my opinion, is such an unorthodox choice.
I don't know if the use-case you describes fit into my problem. I only have one server and its a physical server. I'm also not really able to extend the number of servers, as I don't really have the budget.
What is the difference/benefit to Fedora CoreOS?
I am also thinking about installing nix on my laptop, but I need a proprietary library for work, which is kinda hard to install/ not working on NixOS. But we might be able to just use docker for development. Well, that is currently preventing me from installing nix on my laptop, I am still looking for a way to fix that issue.
I’d recommend it, but would also recommend taking a look at Flatcar Linux which is more or less the same without the IBM dependency (which makes my stomach hurt sometimes).
Why exactly are the IBM dependencies a problem for you?
I used debian before for some years, but at some point became tired of manually updating the system (which is probably one of the biggest benefit of FCOS). It takes, however, quite some time to put your first Ignition config together, and debugging is tedious as you have to redeploy to see if a bug / error is now gone (I’ve used a VM for that).
I can't really find good resources on how FCOS is working and what are the benefits. Is it updating the system/kernel automatically as well as the containers? And what are generally, in your opinion, the advantages of FCOS?
You can also use container within NixOS and AFAICT even declare the containers which should be running. Also NixOS is sad to be stable, or am I missing something?
I’m probably the odd one out, but my home server is running Arch Linux. And it’s been really smooth. I do weekly maintenance in the form of updates and cleanup and it’s been reliable since I set it up a couple of years ago.
I am basically doing the same right now, all by hand. It's just that I am not doing the system and container updates regularly. I also often forget which services I have running and some of the Services I am not even using anymore. I just wanted to give them a try and now they are sitting there, wasting (barely any, but it's nagging me) resources.
Like you, I also planned to use containers for most everything, but… I eventually decided not to.
What was your reasoning for not using containers?
Firstly, I don’t think Docker is intended to be used as a security layer. I could be wrong, but I think it’s relatively easy to escape the sandbox. Although that might be different nowadays.
You are probably right. It's just something I tell myself to sleep well at night.
Anyway, I recently switched from Debian to NixOS for my server and it’s so much nicer. Being able to use a single language for configuring everything all in one place is so nice. If I want to try something new, I can just throw maybe 30 lines in a config and it’s there. If I don’t like it, then I can remove that config and it’s gone. Most services you’d want to run on a server are available in the package manager, and many have rather sensible defaults.
So you are installing your services/programs on your system and not inside a container, which you declare in your config?

Your beginner keyboard and regret buying that?
What was your beginner keyboard and which keyboard are you using now? It seems, that a lot of people tend to prefer smaller keyboards with layers. I myself am a bit intimidated by them, and would much prefer a somewhat more traditional number of keys, like the Lili58 or the Sofel has (as for now, I think I will get a Lili58).
Do you "regret" buying your first keyboard and would have preferred to start directly with your current keyboard (e.g. for saving money), or do you think that your beginner keyboard was necessary/important for you, to get into Spit-Ortho keyboards?
Questions before getting a corne keyboard
I want to get a corne keyboard, but I have a few questions, before I dare to dig deeper into the topic.
- Can I use the keyboard wired and wireless? Meaning, when I plug in a cable, that it (turns of its wireless connection and) uses the cable connection?
- Can I also just use one site at a time, meaning that the other side is turned off/unplugged?
- Which version (
corne-classic,corne-cherryorcorne-chocolate) should I use when I want to use Gateron Hot-Swap Switches (not low-profile)? - Do I have to pay attention when buying keycaps, e.g. to also get special sized caps?
I already knew the video and I am considering giving it a try. I wanted the E-Reader to be also able to display PDF files, which is easier to implement with linux as a basis, I thought.
I thought about setting the CM4 to sleep when no input was done for ~10min and just hoped, that that would reduce the power consumption enough to last at least 1 week or up to 1 month when used for 1h a day. But it was just a thought. I have not settled to an approach yet.

I am running Ubuntu server and I am... satisfied with it. It does what it should, no problems, nothing to worry about, stable AF (as any mature distro?). But lately I am thinking about switching to fedora server (I need to reset my system one way or another, because my space on the hard drive for the system ran out of space (it was a small drive)). I am using fedora on my work machine and I really like it, so I thought I could give fedora on my server a try.

Maybe you can take some inspiration from the matrix.
Traveling per Train in Czech
Hi everyone,
First off sorry for posting in english, but I don't speak czech.
I will be traveling by train from Germany into the Czech Republic (Černý Důl). I was able to book the route to Prague without any problems at the travel center, but I could no longer book within the Czech Republic. I have to travel from Prague to Černý Důl (AFAICT Černý Důl doesn't have a train station, but only a bus stop), but unfortunately I don't know where I can book a ticket or whether I can simply buy a ticket on the spot. I found the website https://idos.idnes.cz, but the prices there are very low at CZK 195 (= EUR 7.85) which sounds sketchy.
What advice would you give me about where (website, app, location) and how I should book? Are there any special things I should be aware of, e.g. if I miss a connecting train (German trains are ALWAYS late) what should I do then?
