This is really a tough one. I hate consolidation, but I also really hate Bobby Kottick.

Path of Exile did the same thing, going from fandom to https://poewiki.net. And thank god they did, fuck fandom

Imagine being this smug about what OS people choose to use

tl;dr: Don't install drivers from unverified sources

cars are freedom

What about my freedom to walk or bike? My freedom to be able to cross the street? My freedom to get milk without taking 2000 pounds of metal with me?

Cars warp entire cities around them. In an ideal world, everyone would be able to own a car, but very few people would need to own a car

Leftists can be fucking insane too, my guy. Lemmygrad is proof of that

I'd love to, but there's no equivalent. My friend group and I need voice channels with ACL, streaming support, video chat support, and webhook/bot support.

Lemmygrad is full of unhinged tankies. I just automatically assume anyone posting there is a child, either physically or mentally.

Beehaw have their own rules, and that's fine. While not my cup of tea, I won't tell them how to run their instance. I respect those rules when I post to their communities. I particularly enjoy their technology and gaming communities.

Other instances are pretty alright. The vibe on lemmy.world is pretty great, which is why it's my home instance.

Edit: inb4 this comment also gets brigaded by tankies chomping at the bit to call me a "liberal"

I signed up for beehaw initially, got in, but wasn't a fan of some of their rules and how they police speech in their community.

All good, I can still view and participate in their comments, but Lemmy.world had more of the vibe i was looking for

He was filthy rich anyway, a few hundred million more doesn't make any difference. If the deal gets him out, then that's still a small win, despite Microsoft owning even more developers

I'll echo everyone else and 100% recommend it.

One thing no one mentioned though is the community. Admins have a zero tolerance policy for racism, homophobia, etc, which leads to voice comms being fun again. So many people roleplaying and just being silly. It's one of the few games that's greatly enhanced by proximity chat

I wouldn't say so. Admins run the site, moderators run communities. This happens to be a community with an admin as a mod.

Oh motherfucker

AirVPN I guess then

But learning math, in my opinion, plays an important part in developing logic and critical thinking skills

As someone who never followed the marketing material and had a high end PC: I was expecting Witcher 3 in Night City, and that's exactly what I got

I understand that plenty of people were disappointed by the missing features and the stuff they outright lied about, but I had fun with it. Probably a 7.5/10 at launch for me.

The moment I jumped ship from there was when someone made an erection joke in response to Trump being indicted again, and the replies were all admonishing about how it's insensitive toward people who are uncomfortable with sex.

Might want to get on updating it soon for IPV6 though

ProtonVPN has dynamic port forwarding via a Windows client (or a python script if on Linux). Just a heads up, since it could be awkward to work out if you're downloading from a headless server.

I've heard AirVPN is good. I switched to iVPN and I'm satisfied

I've been meaning to try out Bluesky, but I've been stuck on the waitlist since it opened up.

I don't suppose you happen to have any invite codes you aren't using? :D

Makes sense, it must be significantly more expensive than regular meat right now, and definitely a novelty

kbin.social still isn't federating, right? I wasn't able to access communities @kbin.social from Lemmy

I use a VPS as a homelab gateway of sorts from the outside.

Essentially, the VPS runs a Wireguard server that I connect to on my OPNSense Router. The VPS then reverse-proxies all incoming traffic through the tunnel to my homelab. All my DNS entries point to the VPS's IP. This pretty much gives me a static IP, hides my real IP, and lets me do some light caching on the VPS. Kind of like a DIY cloudflare.

I also run Uptime Kuma on the VPS, since it will continue to work if my local network is down.

Yup, it is.

And yeah, it is more difficult than just using wikia/fandom/etc, but it also provides such a better experience. Not all game communities will go to that length, but PoE players are a different breed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

God, that feeling when you first step out of the sewers is a core memory for me. Oblivion was my first TES game, I played that shit until my PS3 save inevitably got corrupted

I wish Valve would release a community version of SteamOS 3.X so we could load it on 3rd party hardware

ಠ_ಠ

Fedora for coders

And Manjaro for no one. The distro is run by clowns

You don't even need a 12th/13th gen chip tbh. I went from a server with a GTX 1660 to one with an i5-8600 (Well, multiple actually - it's a kubernetes cluster). They can handle multiple 4k transcodes just fine.

Magnesium Citrate does not fuck around. I used it once when constipated and it cleared me out good.

I also barely slept that night and had to take the following day off work, because i absolutely could not stop shitting for almost 24 hours

• Firefox

• Discord

• Slack

• Sync for Reddit (using my own API key with revanced)

• Like 4 Lemmy apps I switch between until Sync for Lemmy happens

• Protonmail

Rsnapshot on a second server, saving 7 daily backups, 4 weekly backups, and 6 mk they backups

Dredge! I played it entirely on Steam Deck, and it was a great, relaxing, intriguing experience. Would recommend

This sounds pretty exciting actually.

I'd love it for coding on the sofa if i could pull out a laptop shell and just plug my phone into it to fire up VSCode.

I find 30 FPS strictly bearable with a controller, unplayable on mouse and keyboard

I'm not too familiar with Lemmy's codebase, but I am a devops engineer. Is the software written in any way to support horizontal scaling? If so, I'd be happy to consult/help to get the instance onto an autoscaling platform eventually.

Same, but KeepassXC on PC and KeepassDX on Android, with syncthing to sync

Just in time for (probably) the next PoE league :(

I'm lucky enough that my backup server is at my parent's place I'm their basement, so it's off-site by already

Lovely. I hope the fediverse continues to grow as it is now until tankies are just a fringe minority again.

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. Understandable though, since horizontal scaling/HA usually isn't a priority when developing a new application.
