Seems to me like GPU acceleration should be supported. Libvirt probably requires dedicated passthrough or sophisticated methods like SR-IOV.

And 100 MB if I pay? Wtf, what year is this, 2002?

Linux@lemmy.ml•Best os choices and use cases for a netbook with 2ram?English
1·8 months agoDefine Linux. The most basic kernel for a given hardware set, a console emulator and a lightweight alternative libc busybox package? Yes.
An up-to-date desktop suite? Hardly so.

3·8 months agoHm, 2GB RAM is a tough limitation. Even ChromeOS Flex has a minimum requirement of 4GB. I’m not saying it’s impossible to find something that’ll run with just 2GB, but you’re probably not going to have any fun with it.
Plus, is the CPU even 64bit yet? Many distros have dropped their 32bit support already.

Click on “If you know what you’re doing, here’s the relevant pinout for you (click me)” and you’ll see the pinout. Keep in mind:
If you don’t know what you’re doing and start bothering the support chat with questions on what to do with this pinout, I will send you pictures of sad kittens. You have been warned.
You can if you have the parts (and the skills). I’ve just recently learned that technically you don’t even need the PCB and can use a USB UART directly on the vacuum’s pins.
However, I don’t plan to become part of a community where the only place to discuss issues is a centralized walled garden which I got banned from and I can’t recommend anyone else does either.
He is/was sending out little PCBs you can use to connect to your vacuum and flash Valetudo. The way this works is you’re supposed to contact him via Telegram and send him a prepaid postal label for him to send the package to you.
I contacted him and told him I was interested but uncomfortable with handing over my address data to Telegram over a non-E2EE connection and asked him if he was using Signal or another E2EE messenger we could use instead. When he said no I asked him if we then at least could use Telegram’s Private Chat feature, but he declined again (I forgot the exact reasoning, something about the chat not being synced between clients and he needs the label on another client that he wasn’t currently on or something. I remember it being a legitimate reason). After that little dialog he suddenly sent me instructions on how to refund the postal label, told me I was wasting his time and immediately blocked me (just in his chats, not the community yet). Keep in mind this is from the guy claiming to free your vacuums from privacy invading China cloud vendors.
After that I went to one of the community channels, told them in the chat that Hypfer blocked me and if someone else was willing to send me a PCB. He then started to argue with me publically (I don’t remember what was being said, but for someone whos time I was supposedly wasting he suddenly was very talkative) which I ended by saying I wasn’t interested in arguing with him and I only came to ask for a PCB from the other people in the channel. He then blocked me from that channel. Then I went to another one to complain about this behavior which was immediately followed by a block in every available Telegram channel.TL;DR: Guy creating non-privacy invasive firmware server alternative uses privacy invasive platform to manage community, blocks you when asking for E2EE alternative and gets mad when you tell his community how he acts.
All to say this is a really sad state of affairs. Valetudo could be a really great project with many many more users if it was just managed by someone with a slightly different mindset.
Think of Valetudo as a privately-owned public garden.
[…]
But, at the end of the day, you must understand that it is still privately-owned. You’re on someone else’s property over which you have no power at all. You will have to show the necessary respect. And - most importantly - you need to understand that letting you into this garden is a gift and should be treated as such.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Anyone using a FOSS-friendly robot vacuum?
271·8 months agoKeep in mind the community is solely managed on Telegram and the founder is a bit hard to bear sometimes. He banned me from all channels over a the tiniest little argument and so I can’t interact with and get any support from the community. Made me decide to not flash Valetudo on my Dreame and just keep it offline.
Good thing is this was the last reason for me to use Telegram at all and so I was able to finally delete my account there for good.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•8bitdo Ultimate 2 Wireless - Update firmware?English
6·8 months agoYour best bet is probably a Windows VM and their official software: https://app.8bitdo.com/Ultimate-Software-V2/
What I mean is, you create a link from “libxyz.wanted.so” to “libxyz.present.so”, so when the game is looking for the libxyz.wanted.so file, it actually reads the libxyz.present.so file.
You do this with the symbolic links andln -s, but check the order of the parameters, as I always get those with long the first time around.
Usually you can symlink to other versions and it will work fine.
