Disappointing to see the largest lemmy instances fracturing so early. But this also confirms my decision to self host my own instance - to avoid this sort of thing.

I mean that’s a pretty low bar but I appreciate the sentiment.

HiDPI scaling has been completely broken in Linux ever since the UI update and for some reason Valve is slow in fixing it.

I tried Tumbleweed for a while but ended up going back to Fedora. Super polished while still fast moving.

If it comes to that why even bother with federation?

They'll save 60fps for the Special Edition in 3 years.

Memmy is very new but is rapidly being developed.

Just FYI Oracle has language that reserves the right to shut down free tier machines that they deem “idle”.

Yes, the only difference really is installing their custom kernel afterwards to enable missing features like touchscreen support.

It works pretty well, the only big thing still missing is camera support which will probably get solved soon.

Man I would be so nervous to trust Oracle with my credit card though.

Fedora on the desktop. I got my start on Red Hat Linux so I've stuck with it since.

For servers I use Debian. Lightweight, widely used, and gets the job done.

I ran it for a while but ultimately didn’t trust myself to harden it enough.

You need to set up a local DNS server with a .servername zone and point your machines to it. You'd add an external DNS server like 1.1.1.1 as forwarder to allow internet traffic to still resolve.

I've been self hosting miniflux. The UI works great on both desktop and mobile, but I also use NetNewsWire on iOS to connect to it.

We’ve come full circle

I can't open the link right now cause it seems to have gotten the hug of death, but if they didn't mention it check out Caddy. It handles the certificates all automatically. All you have to do is set up the DNS record and then point Caddy at your internal service and it handles the rest.

btrfs send/receive to my NAS.

My IP isn’t technically static but it hasn’t changed in the 3 years I’ve been with this ISP.

We've reached the end of the VC-funded golden age where they are all now demanding a return on their investment, hence why the screws are now all getting tightened.

Same here.

Nice thank you. I use both.

I think it normally wouldn't be as big of a deal, but with how bare the Xbox exclusive library is, they really need all they can get.

I should automate something like that too. I just have one A record pointing to my IP and all my subdomains CNAME’d to that so that if it ever changes, I just have to update that one record.

OpenTTD is my happy space. It's relaxing to just hop in and start building some railroads.

I hope they expand the actual city building/management stuff more. CS1 felt like a road building sim with city builder elements tacked on.

Brings me back to that PSP Hacking 101 video of them modding their console to take full sized memory sticks. It's ridiculous how much Sony sold those things for.

Just FYI “Software” in that agreement specifically refers to Red Hat branded software, so it isn’t quite as clear cut if you debrand it before redistributing it.

I'm okay technically with Snap, and I appreciate that it can do CLI programs as well which Flatpak can't (to my knowledge. My issue with it is that Canonical has dug their feet in on making their store the default and only package source for everyone. It's clear to me that they want to be the gatekeepers of software on Linux.
