From a theory perspective alone, ignorant of Lemmy specifics: a database query can be made to list all cached images including a unique identifier for each image. Use this list to find each cached image.

Look at your cached image list and decide how you want to prune it. The most likely pattern for this system is FIFO, so prune the oldest cached data until you drop below the target disk usage.

In practice, you’ll likely use somebody else’s solution. Be sure to read the contents of their solution carefully to ensure it doesn’t move sensitive data to an externally accessible location or exfiltrate data directly.

I’ve found that for single person purposes, a RAID array is unnecessary. I just buy beefy 8TB drives. If it dies, just download any recent torrents again or pull a backup

The point of a digital signature is to announce that you made this document, as it exists at the time of writing. Once a change is made it should no longer identify as signed.

Most institutions don’t use this functionality, despite the usefulness of it. At present, I’d recommend using it for publicly distributed files to protect against bad actors publishing a document that pretends to be yours.

As for legally binding, ask a lawyer. Generally, things are legally binding if they’re signed by all parties. The specifics get funky, but a digital signature is a solid step for announcing that you did this thing at this datetime and a judge should recognize that if it comes down to it. Bonus points if all parties attach their digital signatures.

Try switching to a different proton? You’ll also need to use Vulkan drivers

For the second one, try turning off steam overlay for this game. For the first, are you running the game with Proton enabled?

Probably? I didn’t check on whether angle brackets or square brackets are for optional parameters. It’s an arbitrary thing and my meaning is entirely decipherable in any order.

Terminal isn’t over complicated, it’s the most basic interaction with operating systems and was the first mainstream UI to ever exist because it’s a natural extension of what interacting with a computer truly is.

Terminal has very basic, particular syntax: Command [required parameters]

It has some useful additions as well, like

| to pass the output of the precious command to another command

> to write to a file

< to read from a file

This basic structure allows additional tools to be installed and run without having to learn a unique GUI with all the quirks of the GUI designer for each application. You just add new commands and move on with your life, maybe referencing the manual page to check which parameters you need.

Windows has a very particular GUI design that everyone knows because of the way Microsoft captured the market in the early days, before laws prevented them from doing so. Windows is esoteric, it has a variety of GUI philosophies all jumbled together. Explorer/control panel exists next to “Metro” apps, now “Windows apps” and they both do separate things without ever integrating the two properly.

Windows is arcane and understanding it fully is thousands of hours of practice, if you actually try new things. Linux is perfectly usable from command line with just a few dozens of hours of practice.

I say all this as a primarily Windows desktop user who uses Linux when it comes to actually getting things done. If we taught Linux to our children in schools and if businesses provided as much Linux training to workers as they do windows training, the discussion we’d be having would be about how windows is too complicated and just needs a UI similar to the ones available with Linux.
