Somehow I don't understand electricity generation with oil. I have a normal oil well and transport the oil to a refinery 8m higher. However, not enough oil arrives there, even though the oil pump has a delivery height of 10m.

I have now installed a pipeline pump at approx. 4m, with the result that the previous 0.6m³ in the pipeline became 0. If I remove this pump, the content of the pipeline suddenly increases to 27m³ and the refinery starts working. and yes, the pump was pointing in the right direction.

The next problem is the fuel generators. I have 4 in a tower on the lower floor working. The supply seems to be sufficient. I now have build another 4 generators on the floor above the first floor, these again don't get any fuel, even though I have installed an mk2 pump directly at the bottom at the start of the riser pipe. The second floor is 8 walls higher above the first floor. This pump supposedly pumps up to 50m, but in the pump settings I only see a maximum height of 4m. Why?

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Where should I place the pipeline pumps? Should I use more refinerys? Or what's the secret here?

Since some time, I'm play Satisfactory on Linux. Performance is fine so far. But if I look on the moving conveyer belts with objects like iron ore or other things, this moving parts produce smudged artifacts on the screen. I don't know what this is called and what I can do against that. I have played the same game on the same laptop on Windows with exactly the same in-game settings. There are no such artifacts.

Is there anything I can do against that? Graphics card is a Nvidia 1050 with proprietary driver. I'm on Arch Linux. Proton is 8.25 GE. I have tested several Proton variant without any difference.

The first OS on laptop was Windows 10. After that, I have added Manjaro. Manjaro has added a Grub menu, with entry's for Manjaro and Windows. Now I want to switch to Arch. I have installed Arch on a separate partition. Arch has not added a entry in this grub menu, but this was expected. I have used update-grub from Manjaro, what added Arch to the menu.

But for some reason I can't edit the menu from within Arch.

I have tried to understand Arch Wiki what I have to do, to edit this menu from Arch. Can someone please help me to get this to work? I have tried to add my EFI partition /dev/sda1 via fstab to /boot/efi like in Manjaro, but this doesn't help to find the same menu with grub-customizer.

Any idea's?

I try to create a timer unit for weekly and daily backups. For example with the weekly unit, it should be executed once in a week, some minutes after login. If the unit was successful, it should shutdown and not start again until the next week. If a start of this unit was missing, it should be start again some minutes after the next login.

But for some unknown reason, the current unit starts after every login when I reboot the laptop. I am relatively sure that this timer unit is set up wrong, but unfortunately I don't know how I can implement such a unit better with the functions mentioned above.

[Unit]
Description=Run backup weekly
Requires=backup.service

[Timer]
Unit=backup.service
OnCalendar=weekly
RandomizedDelaySec=120
Persistent=true

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target

I want to have only the FPS and the time to be displayed. On my screenshot you can see a setting with 16.7ms. I have no idea what this is, How can i remove this and keep only the FPS and the time?

I have tried to tame a Lizard Doggo today the first time. I'm playing the game now since 3 days and searched for this animal since the beginning. I never found them when i was walking. Today i could build my first vehicle and was more far away from the HUB. I found such a Doggo and could tame him. But after driving some meters, i couldnt find the Doggo anymore. Could it be, that they dont follow the car? How can i bring him to my base/Hub?

I try to play "Empyrion" on Linux via Steam. I have tried other games like "Satisfactory" without any issues and with a better performance as on Windows. But with Empyrion i get a max of 10 - 13 fps, where i have ~60fps on Windows on the same laptop. Graphic adapter is a nVidia 1050 GTX and OS is Arch Linux. If i remember correctly, Empyrion is a Unity game.

Currently i try to create a PWA/WebApp for my own project. I am looking at the possibilities of integrating Web Push into my WebApp. If I understand the concept correctly, I need a push server in addition to my WebApp and the browser. Can ntfy take over this role?

I have installed Davx5 from F-Droid, from IzzyOnDroid Repo. Today I have checked for updates with the Google playstore and the App was updated to the playstore variant. I thought this isn't possible? What's going on here?

I would like to install Ungoogled Chromium, but I can only find ungoogled Chromium as an older version on Arch AUR and a "Ungoogled Chromium XDG" as a newer build. Can someone please explain me what's the difference between Ungoogled Chromium and Ungoogled Chromium XDG?

I Gnome 44, when I double click a archive, the archive is extracted in a subdir of the current directory. Is it possible to change that behavior, so that a window opens with the contents of the clicked archive?

Is there some way to set the keyboard layout on GFN in the browser, or at least use the system keyboard layout from Gnome?

According to the Arch Wiki, i should start Chromium with --disable-features=UserAgentClientHint` and spoof the UserAgent to Windows, but this doesn't work anymore. There are no Keyboard area in the settings.

If I use GFN on Windows, the area for keyboard layout is working.

Or is there some way to copy the settings from windows via Cookies or any other storage method?

I have connected my containers via conveyor tubes with some assemblers. The tubes and all parts are green and working. But for some reason, I can't move objects from the containers to the assembler, to disassemble them.

Do you have any ideas what could be the reason?

A similar question was raised some day's ago from a other person, but with different background. In this case, I would like to buy a nice gaming laptop. Of course I would use it for office and coding to, but primary I'm searching recommendations for gaming. I would like to play Wine/Proton game's and also native Linux games. As OS, I like to use Manjaro Gnome.

Should I better buy all of AMD (if yes, which CPI, GPU) or Intel/Nvidia? Or Intel CPU and AMD GPU? Which combination is the right one with best performance for a casual gamer? I prefer FPS games, if that's important...

Is it possible to paint only parts of block's? For example there are Reinforced Conveyor Tubes with some sort of protection around the tube. They seem to seel a room airtight.

Is it possible to paint the tube in yellow/orange and the protecting outer parts in the color of the walls? Every time I try to repaint this block's, the whole block get the new color.

I'm on Manjaro Linux with Gnome. When I attach a USB HDD to my laptop, it mounts as /run/media/username/uuid. But for some reason, it is mounted as root and not with the owner set to the currently logged in user. For that reason, I can't create new directory's on this HDD, after I attached this to the laptop.

I can only switch to root, create the folder and change ownership of this new folder to the currently logged in user.

Is there any way to automount the USB hdd/stick with ownership of the currently logged in user?

Since some updates, the background image on the GDM login screen is only displayed for a blink second and then disappears for a complete black background.

Is there any fix or workaround available?

Hello together. I try to use a systemd path unit, to monitor a directory structure. But as of now, I was only successful for the top level directory. The unit should be triggered, if a new file is written to either the top level of the monitored directory and also, if there is a new file in any of its subdirectories. I don't know how to do that. Any ideas?

Additionally, the triggered service unit should be delayed for some time. Background is, that I automatically upload sometimes more than one file in a batch. So I will give the script triggered by the service unit the chance, to wait until the upload of all files is finished, so that I can work with all the new files with one script call, instead of multiple calls for every file. Is that possible?

This is my first time setting up a Raspberry Pi4 (8GB). Before, I have used a RPi 3B for some other things. From what i have read is, that IO performance should be a lot better on the RPi4, as with the RPi3B. But i get the same speeds as before. I have setup the following:

• Installed Raspbian Lite (64bit)
• enabled SFTP/SSH
• Setup a user for SFTP only access, with home on a connected USB HDD
• the USB HDD is connected to one of the USB3 ports
• This is the same setup on the RPi3B

When I now try to start to copy a 2GB file from my Laptop via LAN, i get in both cases a max of 11.6 or 11,5MB/s. But according to articles like this (https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2021/raspberry-pi-25-gbps-16-tb-omv-nas-setup-and-performance), it should be much faster. Is there some secret, or whats the problem?

BTW: The Laptop runs on Manjaro Linux, where i start the transfer, there is no Windows available.

How can I actually see how full the hydrogen tank is? This is always displayed with 0/total quantity in the station's inventory. Apparently it seems to be full, because hydrogen is only produced again (the ice decreases) when I open a room into space. Is this just a bug or is it intentional? Or is there a possibility to display the filling level in percent or absolute?
