He seems to be better at computers than Linus Sebastian.

That is the main reason of Dodges existence, what did you think would happen?

First hint is already on the FrontPage:

We do expect you to understand how to use email and how to configure your DNS to use our service

Second hint, the very aggressive way their documentation is written with big font, repeating and slight threats. See https://mxroutedocs.com/dns/dnsrecords/

Third one, their refund policy in the FAQs:

We do not offer refunds. Please do not sign up unless you are comfortable with your choice.

And there are quite many people writing about their encounters online with them, like:

• https://www.reddit.com/r/webhosting/comments/rbwqew/mxroute_are_they_rude_on_purpose_whats_been_your/
• https://www.reddit.com/r/mxroute/comments/1b1nk52/one_of_the_worst_service/

And so on. If you can handle working in open source you can handle them too. They are very direct which is off putting for some people, but they care deeply about their customers.

oh yeah, I have my own domain since Uhm 2004 and have switched providers about, hm, six times without problems. I never delete emails either (spam I do) and just use Thunderbird’s drag and drop to move MA mails from one server to another.

https://mxroute.com/ if you need many different domains and email addresses but don’t need a huge amount of space, very cheap and just works.

But if you have issues the guys who run it are quite rough and brutal, so support wil be tough on you and expect you know a lot about protocols, etc.

Thank you everyone for explaining your view of how it works on Linux, it seems to be very chaotic when it comes to this topic, everyone has their own understanding and some contradict each other. But it was great to get some feedback and food for thought which let me to try other things which I didn’t think of trying before.

Now I finally have some things working on the iGPU because I plugged the monitor into the motherboard instead of the dGPU. It seems that the offloading works well still because things like ollama and video editing still are done on the powerfull dGPU and then somehow the results synchronized to the motherboard output and on the screen.

When it comes to the iGPU I see that many applications run on both at the same time like for example Firefox or Chrome when I look at nvtop. Especially when I watch videos in the browser then the iGPU is mostly active. Also when I use GNOME Shell features like seeing the overview by pressing the Super key or switching between virtual desktops.

With help of switcheroo-control I can now force a program like DarkTable to work specifically on the dGPU.

So while I still don’t have full controll over it, I feel I’m utilizing both graphics cards now much better and that was what I was looking for before I wrote this question, so thanks a lot everyone!

What is https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME then?

Which one is plugged in into your monitor?

It’s a desktop.

I did, but that only allows me to run it in the descrete one where it is already running as far as I understand.

So I read it but it seems only to talk about X and not Wayland, am I missing something?

Yeah, not really, I think the iGPU is still very preformant, especially it has bread video de and encoding capabilities. It’s probably more powerful than my dell XPS 13 laptop iGPU which let’s me connect a external 4k monitor and run games and video editing smoothly with some Lowe settings.

Yes. My dad tried to tech me but he was not patient enough so he showed me some things and then just left me in the water to go sunbathing himself. But somehow this seemed enough so I kept at it and could swim a bit, then over the years always a little better and so on. Still today my technique is quite bad but I can swim forever, just not as fast as other people.

Central heating and ventilation technician, that was my first one, it was awesome, learned welding and stuu like that. But during the winter I couldn’t do it, every time so freaking cold.

Then I was a Rubber mixer for the aufomobile industry, which destroyed my sense of smell to a high degree so I switched again.

Next was frontend developer, then iPhona app developer and then finally I also studied computer science.

After that I I went back to the automobile industry, but with the CS background I’m in software development now. My profession is very broad. I’m Integrator, Software Factory Subject Matter Expert (basically architecture around devops), Configuration Manager. Not programming at all anymore.

Auto correct changed “it’s” to UT’s.

You need kind of a beefy server which is not worth it for one or two people. That is why I installed PieFed instead which does the same but plays nicer on a small VPS with fewer resources.

I thought WeeChat is the Chinese everything app?

I had a similar problem with Lemmy, UT’s not optimized for small instances.

I went with PieFed und am very happy with it.

This sounds good, the partner acceptance factor is always one of the biggest struggles. Technology is easy :D

I. Build a PC for video editing because it was becoming impossible to do on the laptop. I realized that I can use the GPU also to run large language models myself.

So this week I’ve been setting up ollama and Open WebUI to be able to move some of my queries I ask ChatGPT and ask them on my computer, even if I’m away.

This way I don’t need to send sensitive data to the USA and China. It works quite well but I only can use smaller models up to 14B because of the 12 GB VRAM my graphics card only has.

Hm, so you just used some cards to make links and icons somehow for that? But then I would need to replicate it on at least my dads and our instance.
