DNS? Why so complicated? Just edit your hosts file 😏

We used it as OS for the tank and airplane simulators, just because it made them cheaper compared to buying 500 Windows licenses

Clearly this man has never read

Lemmy users be like „I fucking love decentralized freedom“, until someone joins they don’t like.

I would not even hate this idea. To be honest, I would even think about buying one. I switched to Linux a year ago, while having Windows as dual boot option. I only used Windows for one game, which had a nasty Anti Cheat back then. Nowadays it is working on Linux. So I have no reason to use Windows anymore. And as I love Valve since the early days, I always try to get my hands on their products.

Just block the instance lemmynsfw.com and a few communities that pop up, then NSFW is usually not porn.

In Switzerland, the ISP Init7 is offering all their connections for CHF 777.- (USD 861.-) per year and you just get the maximum speed, which is currently 25/25Gbps. This provider is well known for fighting for net neutrality and being against any censorships or mass surveillance. I just love them very much and wish that other countries would have such awesome ISP‘s as well.

Also, don‘t use it for any mail servers. Spam Assassin gives a negative score by default on *.xyz domains. Stupid as shit, but I had to learn the hard way.

I have no idea what you smoked, but 25Gbps (Gigabits per second) is 3.125GBps (Gigabytes per second)

I understand both sides. Busy people love to save their game at any point in time, as they might get interrupted. But I also understand the point from the devs and I also like it sometimes when I cannot save constantly. Obviously both sides could now be less stubborn. Busy people can just pause the game and resume later to just exit the junction and the devs could implement a quick save feature.

Dear game designers, how about you let the user decide what they like most, a very easy or hard game? Usually with difficulty settings, only damage/health numbers get modified. But you could also enable quick save in easy mode, and disable it in hard mode. Take a look at the difficulty settings of Grounded. Easy to implement and you automatically reach a bigger user base. And while we are at it, busy people sometimes cannot play games for a longer time, let’s say 4 weeks. After 4 weeks I have forgotten all the controls and game mechanics again. TV shows play a recap if a new season comes out. You should do the same. A super short introduction of what happened story wise and how the controls and game mechanics are working.

I still don’t understand the need of putting so much time and energy into DE #284838284. I have been using KDE for ages and if I don‘t like the looks of it, I change them. Other than that, 99% of my daily use of a linux is independent of any DE. I actually don’t even care what DE it is. Just give me a Terminal Emulator and a graphical desktop to run software.

The problem is that there are still features missing from certain browsers. For example, Mozilla does not like restrictive licenses, which is why many media codecs are not available in Firefox. Google does not care, pays the fees and provides the media codecs for free. As soon as we get rid of shit like h265 and switch to av1, the world will be a better (and more open) place where everyone can use any browser.

I have ordered so many things over the past 8 years on AliExpress and the only issues I had was shops not delivering the right amount. Disputing that was never an issue. I wonder why so many other people have serious issues with it.

Thanks for the hint. Have been out of the game for 15 years and kinda lost all my contacts, since I was mainly using usenet the past few years

Yeah, whoever that is. Lists more distros than useful software, but thanks I guess.

Not everyone is able to afford subscriptions of indexers and hosters. I just would like to contribute to the community with what I have.

First of all, thanks for the effort you put into this guide, this is super helpful for a lot of people.

What do you mean by „This gives (…) Netflix (…)“? With IPTV you just get an MPEG stream. But with Netflix you want to select the media you want to watch. So how would that work?

So I‘m a Synology user for years (currently a DS921+ with a DX517 extension) and use it mainly to store movies/shows.

For you here are some things that might be useful to know:

  • Consumer NAS are massively underpowered in terms of CPU and RAM. Both is needes if you run a few Docker containers. Especially the transcoding of media files is very CPU intensive.
  • using a very small „compute“ node, like an Intel NUC, takes care of this problem. I run all Docker containers on this one, while I use the NAS only as storage.
  • Consumer NAS are super easy to setup and also to scale, in case you need more diskspace.
  • I was never a big fan of Plex for various reasons. I use Emby and I‘m very happy about it. I also hears many good things about Jellyfin

Then I‘m still curious what kind of provider you are talking about, because I simply don’t understand it. Could you maybe send me a pm with the name of it?

Since I‘m only listen to music on Apple Music, I use Cider.

I don’t use permanently pressurized fire extinguishers anymore, as they are hard to maintain and rarely reach a life span of 20 years.

Make sure to check at least once every 3 years if the pressure is still in the green. If not, replace it immediately.

Anyone got an onion url to that forum? Asking for a friend.

I read the same headline since months. So nothing will change.

Lol. Got 25/25G for $74/month.

Not just a day, a full month the backdoor was available. On the Arch Repo, v5.6.0 was uploaded on February 24th. Will be similar to other repos.

Oh I‘m not inexperienced in that area, so I absolutely know what you mean. I just kind of lost the connection to that scene.

Very true. Currently I‘m only at about 45TB of space, but could extend it fairly easily to 198TB or more.

If you look at the gauge, you can see that the ideal pressure is 1344 kPa or 13.44 bar. If you own a pump capable of using at least 14 bar, you are good to go.

I like how I can find new games on SteamPeak and helped me find some niche (but still very good) titles: https://steampeek.hu

Agree. I just got it for fun and because it was cheap. I used it for my disposable e-mail addresses but now switched to .org

That window maker sucks

So there is the thing in the Bio Hacking community, where they recommend H2 infused water, which should have some benefit on your health. I once saw a water filter station, which was generating H2 in the watertank, so you were drinking H2 infused water. Not sure if there is any science behind it to back this.

That‘s the problem. If you show a damaged or non working website, the user assumes it is a problem of the website, then thinking negatively about it. Unfortunately the world is not as easy as you see it :)

Signal has many half-baked things. Like the backup/restore system

Thanks db0 for your work, it is very much appreciated.

Wow, how mature to defame someone without any context or proof. Seeing this, the mod might just have done a good job with you.

Agree with this comment. Use docker. In the beginning a little bit more complex, but if used properly, you never have to care about updating anymore. @OP if you need some help, I can give you some advice and my Docker Compose file.

Nice, glad to hear! If you get stuck, feel free to message me!
