I think it’s a messy idea, you will be getting conflicts on files already present in the system. You’ve been warned ;)

With that out of the way, I guess just download the image and start from https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide#Installation

FWIW, in my feeds that is on the same level as it was for some time now

I swear, this guy is all over the place. I’m very curious as what he will end up

Then how would they sell access in a deniable way?

Ah, you mean for fediverse to work as an LDAP?

My point is Let’s imagine we have a board on some instance. You use your account on another instance to ask the owner of the board to give you access to the board. The contents of the board are, IMO in most cases of such boards, “members only”. So any changes happening inside should not be sent out to federating instances. Otherwise, privacy of such boards would be at the mercy of privacy of other instances. If restricted changes were sent out, technically speaking, any server it federates to can choose to show that content to everyone. Which means you won’t be able to access the contents via any other instance. Apart from the logging in part, you will still need to go to the instance hosting the board. Unless it would be for publicly accessible boards only, like codeberg issues. That use-case could work

It’s all spiraling out of control

Yes, but that was in the OP. Maybe normal disk is not feasible for some reason

no graphics card whatsoever

computer can play h.265 and equivalent without troubles, provided video file is no higher than 1080 p.

Computer can play av1 files no higher than 1080 p only if I shut every other application down. If for example I run a browser and an av1 file with either mpv or vlc, system shuts down.

Can I put all that memory to use and avoid overloading the cpu?

Most of the answers seem to focus on the main problem, but your question got me thinking.
Since you are not getting shutdowns with lower qualities, maybe you could use RAM to play those videos.
Set up tmpfs. Before you start all the other things, use ffmpeg to recode the video to something without any compression, maybe tell it to not work too fast (like work on one frame at a time), and put the thing on that tmpfs. Maybe then playing this new file would be less demanding. The key would be to not force it to provide 30fps of encoded video

Although… Are you sure all this RAM is fine? Maybe it shuts down on more demanding videos because with those the RAM usage raises to the faulty part?

$ sh
sh-5.2$ echo dfgsdfgfd |& tee /tmp/t
dfgsdfgfd
sh-5.2$ cat /tmp/t
dfgsdfgfd
sh-5.2$

¯_(ツ)_/¯

True

But nowadays /bin/sh is often just a link to bash

https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/bash.1.html

Pipelines A pipeline is a sequence of one or more commands separated by one of the control operators | or |&. The format for a pipeline is:

[time [-p]] [ ! ] command1 [ [|⎪|&] command2 … ]

(…) If |& is used, command1’s standard error, in addition to its standard output, is connected to command2’s standard input through the pipe; it is shorthand for 2>&1 |. This implicit redirection of the standard error to the standard output is performed after any redirections specified by command1.

How would you see it work? IMO such boards are mostly for personal/organisation use, not a social space

For 2>&1 to work don’t we need to be using some shell anyway?

IMO |& tee dirlist is easier to manage

Rules per se, I guess, no. But I feel this is a little bit ill-placed. Look at other posts in this community, it’s rather about open-source news and discussion than specific support for an app

I guess you might have better chances in some Android community, if those operate similarly to the Linux ones

Why are you posting this in here?

On a serious note, o/ welcome to the club! :)

Ok, I think I can report now

While disabling it did help some (no freezes when playing solo), once I partied up the problem came back.

I kept the experimental “conserve one thread for system”, lowered all graphics settings, set fps limit, disabled hardware rendering in Steam and I could play whole session in one launch.

When I was getting the freezes, I did not observe some temp going too high in Mango HUD but it seems it might have been some thermal spiking. For these specs the settings should be lowered for playing in a party and disabling steam overlay and steam hardware rendering can help squeeze more out of the hardware

I’ve heard that ht can cause issues on Intel. I’ll check that, thanks

Thanks, but I already have that. It did make things better but I was still getting freezes so far
