I definitely feel the pain when it comes to worthless results nowadays. Though in this case DDG comes through:

Adding documentation to the search makes the "correct" page soar to the top:

• KVM/QEMU/Libvirt/virt-manager on a Debian 12 for minimal installation that allows you to choose backup tools and the like on your own.
• Proxmox for a mature KVM-based virtualizer with built in tools for backups, clustering, etcetera. Also supports LXC. https://github.com/proxmox
• Incus for LXC/KVM virtualization - younger solution than Proxmox and more focused on LXC. https://github.com/lxc/incus

Some alternatives:

• Incus - After canonicals takeover of LXD a fork of it called Incus was created. Supporting both virtual machines and linux containers. Free open-source with paid support.
  https://github.com/lxc/incus

• virt-manager - For home usage without clusters and the like a simple Linux host with kvm/qemu/libvirt/virt-manager usually works just fine.
  https://github.com/virt-manager/virt-manager

• Cockpit Project - Cockpit can be used to manage both virtual machines and podman. Personally I use it in tandem with virt-manager.

I think this is spot on. I think it's exciting with LLMs but I'm not gonna give the huge corporations my data, nor anyone else for that matter.

They actually flip flop a lot.

GOG is always my first choice to buy games.
It's a bit frustrating that you have to dive into the forum and check whether the developers actually maintain their GOG release properly before buying though.

When I switched from Windows to Linux I found cockpit-project.org to be a true blessing when troubleshooting. Something about having logs and services in a Web GUI that can be really helpful.

Considering the amount of android models there are wouldn't this be the obvious result?

Computers often present their users with textual messages, but the users often don't read them.

So many times I've just been a fancy TTS (Text to speech) assistant.
End user: Sends MMS of error message.
Me: Calls end user and reads the error message out loud.
End user: Oh! Thanks! Problem solved.
Me: No problem, have a good day.

I had no idea but spent some time googling anyways.
The answer seems to be a conservative tech youtuber that once upon a time worked with linux tech.

Reddit user comments:

It's really unsettling. He used to be a great Linux guy but now he's just a nut.

I unsubscribed from his YT channel and stopped following him as he gradually began to drift from being a dorky goofball to being a right-wing apologist.

Don't listen to Bryan Lunduke. He's a middle aged edgelord that new Linux users get introduced to because of his smart-ass "Linux Sucks" series, and then as they learn more about Linux themselves they realize he's just a douche who's not worthy of their youtube views.

Of course it does, how else are they gonna make website owners pay for the data access?

You know, if you actually list factual problems you have with Wayland then it would be possible to have a discussion with you.

If you want to avoid freedom restricting corpo stuff then you better start with researching the supply chain of your phone and computer:

I'm looking forward to the Forgejo Federation to be completed.
It will be nice to not have to choose between self hosting your repository and having your repository discoverable.

Is forge federation ready to be used by developers around the world? Not yet.
But the first Forgejo release with native federation implementation based on ForgeFed and F3 is expected next year.

Many use SearXNG to get less personalized search and tracking. If hundreds of users appear as one user for the search engine then both tracking and personalization of the results suffer.

What functionality do you want from your NAS? If it's simple NFS and Samba then I imagine you can choose whatever you want really.

Material Files support both SMB and SFTP - https://f-droid.org/en/packages/me.zhanghai.android.files/

If you're already into self hosting, programming, networking and automation then I don't think you'll have any trouble.
With that background you should be able to google the solutions.

Debian offers you 3 variants of Debian:

Debian stable (what you get by default from their homepage). https://wiki.debian.org/DebianStable
Debian testing (has newer packages than stable and breaks less often than Debian unstable). https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting
Debian unstable (has the most recent packages and is considered the most fragile of all). https://wiki.debian.org/DebianUnstable

I consider client devices to be a big risk factor and if I can keep them from having direct access to the Backup NAS and the IoT I consider that a big win. A simple ransomware attack on a client device would find any NFS/SMB shares the client can access and start encrypting - having the Backup NAS on a separate VLAN that only the server can access stops most of those from affecting the backup and makes restoring a lot easier. I would definitely recommend having an offline backup of the NAS as well in case of the server being breached.

Being able to selfhost game servers and allow only friends to join is sweet, I wish more games still allowed LAN connections to a selfhosted server without going through online services.

I still run everything I can as .rpm through dnf on my Fedora and .deb through apt on my Debian servers.
I only install a flatpak as last resort.
From a dev viewpoint I can understand the gains of flatpak but from a user viewpoint I prefer a "real" install.

If you go for SSD another thing to think about is the TBW on them. Buying a low endurance SSD might save some electricity but will cost more in SSDs over time. Example:
Crucial P3 Plus M.2 NVMe SSD 2TB (2.67W on your link) has 440TBW compared to Kingston Fury Renegade M.2 NVMe SSD Gen 4 2TB (4.92W on your link) with 2000TBW.
Those few watts you save on using the Crucial P3 Plus will be less than the extra cost in buying new SSDs earlier.
The site I checked TBW on has the Kingston Fury at $9.4 more than the Crucial P3 Plus.

I think proper datacenter 3.5'' HDDs will give you the most efficient Wattage per TB disk space
Seagate Exos X20 Harddisk ST20000NM007D 20TB SATA-600 7200rpm is supposed to have
Power Consumption 5.4 Watt (idle) | 9.4 Watt (random read) | 6.4 Watt (random write)

After which ctrl+f " in" takes you to the correct chapters. I do agree that a direct link would be more helpful.
And for learning postgresql I agree it isn't very helpful - using their tutorial links, w3schools or something like udemy if you prefer video format is the way to go in that use case.

I remember back when you were told to learn to work with the documentation, not memorize it, because you will always have access to it as a reference. Maybe bookmarking reference books/documentation will make a come back as the search engines degrade.

So kinda like https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp but with a GUI?

Sounds like removing couch co-op didn't hurt their sales. :(

So the blog has these points listed:

• Wayland's client API is gimped. Understandably, any piece of software has limits on its scope. I'm not criticizing that, but the limit on the scope of the Wayland ecosystem is way too small.

• Wayland's lack of feature parity with Xorg cripples it. This brief section is now outdated and much to my surprise, the tearing protocol was actually merged thanks to Valve pushing hard for it. The text is left here for historical reasons.

• Wayland's render loop design is ridiculous. If you build a client from ground up specifically with Wayland in mind, sure this is easy. But many applications are cross platform and internally driven.
  There's nothing wrong with an application managing how it should render internally. It's a natural choice for any program that operates in a cross-platform manner.

• Wayland's Mesa implementations are leagues behind Xorg's. Both the EGL and Vulkan Mesa implementations are, quite frankly, bugged and lacking when compared to their Xorg DRI3 counterparts.
  In EGL's case, the spec isn't violated, but swap intervals greater than 1 are completely broken.
  Vulkan is more dire. The indefinite blocking behavior outright violates the Vulkan spec. Giving a timeout in AcquireImage does nothing in practice because the blocking is done in PresentQueue. Only two presentation modes on Wayland actually work: fifo (well this works by breaking the spec) and mailbox.

• Wayland itself has bad core decisions. The big and obvious mistake to point out is fractional scaling. Update: The fractional scale protocol has been merged, and it's definitely a step forward.

• Was it really worth it? We were told all along that Xorg is so bad and terrible that it needed to be started from scratch but at this point people need to be looking in the mirror and asking questions. If that 14 years of effort was instead focused onto solely improving Xorg, what would the result be? Surely, much more tangible results would have been gained at the end of the day.

  I'm not qualified to discuss render loop design or mesa implementations, but it seems 2/5 points has been rendered obsolete in the last 18 months. Progress! :)

As part of the transition of perpetual licensing to new subscription offerings, the VMware vSphere Hypervisor (Free Edition) has been marked as EOGA (End of General Availability). At this time, there is not an equivalent replacement product available.

No problem using multiple physical and virtual ports for a pfsense in proxmox

I've never tried to run multiseat the way you do here.
I do however succesfully run multiple computers in one chassi using kvm/qemu with pci-e physical passthrough on gpu and usb controller to my virtual fedora gaming machine (using vfio drivers in the host). Definitely more overhead than multiseat but I do enjoy the easy backup and restore I have on my gaming machine.

Level1techs.com has a ton of good information if you're interested in virtualizing instead, such as https://forum.level1techs.com/t/ubuntu-17-04-vfio-pcie-passthrough-kernel-update-4-14-rc1/119639

Running a Debian Bookworm hypervisor using KVM/QEMU with virt-manager for vms + Incus for lxc containers gives you a lot of freedom with how you use it.

edit: It also means you build your own hypervisor from parts - kinda like installing postfix/dovecot/mariadb/spamassassin instead of a packaged solution like mail-in-a-box. It takes more time and effort but I find I understand the underlying technologies better afterwards.

Isn't the solution to send them this link? ;-)

I mostly call them "cees", ex "The linux cee on .ml"

I use cockpit and my phone to start my virtual fedora, which has pcie passthrough on gpu and a usb controller.
