@glyph First-party Microsoft games on Linux is a thing in 2025 and I cannot wrap my brain around it.

@cthos I did already mention in the thread above that the Cool Zone is mostly _not_ good

@glyph Upside: fewer people using Windows and all the shady user-hostile stuff it does.
Downside: Gamers™️ will develop opinions about systemd.

@glyph I can anecdotally say I get about 5% better framerates on Linux than on Windows with the same hardware, even back before Copilot was a thing.

@cthos I have a better understanding these days of why anti-cheat is such a big deal (games without it, like TF2, do tend to turn into absolutely intolerable cesspits of botted cheating) but the answer to KLAC _must_ be "no, figure out another way"

@glyph I was just telling a bunch of my friends that I unironically believe that 2026 is the year of Linux on the Desktop.

@fancysandwiches @glyph it does! Dead by Daylight, for example, works great for me.

@glyph i have no idea if any of this maths at all but dear lordt i want to believe

@morgan “Why push a Fedora distro these days?”
What's wrong with Fedora? It works perfectly well and is well-maintained. I've been a moderately satisfied Fedora user for 20 years…

@glyph MS SQL Server perform better on Linux as well.

@krans @ubernostrum @glyph the initial complaint was that it was confusing for someone new to Linux to install a deb file on Fedora, which seems trivial for someone who's used Linux for some time however not to someone new.
Reality is this was the first experience and that experience was, why did the file that Discord gave me for Linux not work on Linux?

@glyph hooray! a new and awful way to tell people that every symptom is probably cancer!

#ChatControl è nella fase finale, ma potrebbe essere una maratona, non uno sprint
Con le trattative finali in corso sul controverso Regolamento CSA, sareste perdonati se pensaste che i nostri diritti digitali siano ormai fuori pericolo. Tuttavia, sebbene la posizione recentemente concordata dagli Stati membri dell'UE rappresenti un cauto ottimismo, siamo ancora lontani da un accordo definitivo. E intanto incombe la verifica dell'età...

Adding a Panadapter to a Classic Receiver
There was a time when only the richest ham radio operators could have a radio with a panadapter. Back in the day, this was basically a spectrum analyzer that monitored a broad slice of the receiver’s intermediate frequency so you could see signals on either side of the receiver’s actual frequency. Today, with SDR technology and computers, this is an easy thing for receivers to implement. But what if you want to refit a classic radio? It isn’t that hard, and [Mirko Pavleski] shares his notes on how he tackled the project. You can also check it out in the video below.
The plan is simple. A FET amplifier taps the radio’s IF stage before the first IF filter. This provides good isolation and buffering. Then, an emitter follower stage provides a matched output to the SDR through a low-pass filter. The SDR remains tuned to the IF frequency, of course. The rest is essentially software and procedures.
Of course, your exact connection to your radio will differ unless you have the same receiver shown in the video. A modern scope with an FFT should be able to help you quickly locate a good spot, though.
Of course, you could just listen through the SDR, but that doesn’t seem sporting but that’s what it looks like he does in the demonstrations. Essentially, he’s using the radio’s RF system via the first IF mixer, then letting the SDR handle the rest. But you could just use the display and tune the radio instead.
If you really wanted a cool system, you could frequency count the internal frequencies and display the correct frequencies in software. Then you could also track the current frequency. This would make it seem more like a traditional panadpater and less like just replacing most of the radio’s features with an SDR.
We’ve seen these before, of course. Many times.

@Timmmii ha!
