Every time I end up with a finicky bluetooth pairing process, I turn off bluetooth on all devices other than the one I'm trying to pair to. Usually fixes any problem.

I started with Plex, but I would say it wasn't until I spun up Nextcloud and got it running that I really would say my life changed. My entire family now has Nextcloud accounts, a family calendar, instant upload of pictures from my phone, all my recipes, and I even have OnlyOffice document server running for editing documents in Nextcloud.

I think once people start to figure out just HOW the Fediverse works, they'll start spreading out. I joined beehaw originally, then they defedereated from lemmy.world, which is where most of the communities were that I had subscribed to. That's why I joined lemmy.world...

1TB hard drives were on sale, and I wanted to digitize all my DVDs and stream them to my Xbox 360. That was 15 years ago.

The problem isn't with Nextcloud (I had the same issue happen with me). The problem is with the default sync settings on Thunderbird and DAVx5 (at least for me). Thunderbird defaulted to a longer than I wanted synch schedule, so I dropped it down to syncing every 15 minutes. DAVx5 was set to 240 minutes unless the event was created on my phone. Once I updated both schedules to every 15 minutes, I haven't noticed an issue.

OpenMediaVault is a Debian server with a Web UI.

I don't think he was saying that he thought System76 abandoned Pop. I think he was saying he was running Pop on a System76 laptop, and the laptop gave up the ghost.

I use Pop!_OS on my desktop and laptop. Prior to that, I would distro-hop like it was my job. I bought a system76 laptop and figured, why not. So, I had Pop preloaded on it instead of Ubuntu. Here's the reason I ended up settling on Pop as my one-and-only distro.

  • Based off Ubuntu/Debian, which I am most familiar/comfortable with

  • No Snaps

  • Flatpak supported out of the box

  • Relatively rapid deployment of updated kernels (currently on 6.2.6), so no need to worry about hardware support

  • Tiling windows that are well implemented

  • Backed by a company, but one that shares the same values as me

  • Stable, even with semi-rolling release nature of it

The downsides are that their choice of colors are god-awful. I get it, it's their company's colors, but I don't think it looks really all that good on an operating system. I've gotten used to it, and don't care as much anymore.

I spent a lot of time on the niche tech/maker/cooking subs. Seems a lot of the fediverse did as well, because the ones I've found here are almost as active!

For Corsair - I've been very happy with ckb-next. https://github.com/ckb-next/ckb-next

It is pretty robust, allows remapping of key/button bindings, changing of RGB, DPI, etc. Their goal is to replace iCUE. Very robust for mice and keyboards, but they also list other hardware that it is known to work with in their wiki. Might be worth a look.

Absolutely. That's the exact reason I got mine. After a couple of days, my wife started wanting to play some. Now, she has her own deck, and we play LAN coop and LAN PvP games as well as remote play together. It's awesome!

Not to sound flippant, but it seems like a solution looking for a problem. I use the --cleanup flag, and if there's an issue, rolling back is as simple as changing dockerimage:latest to dockerimage:version that worked.

Unless I'm missing something.

I bought the lowest level Steam Deck, cracked it open before I even turned it on. Replaced it with a 1TB Sabrent drive. Couldn't be happier.

I use Antenna Pod from F-droid on Android Auto. You have to turn on developer options (inside Android Auto on your phone) and select Unkown Sources for it to work.

Yes. They just won't look/work the same as the native Gnome apps. I select apps based on functionality, so I have a mix of both KDE and Gnome apps on my Gnome DE.

Ummm, their SteamDeck runs Pop? Have you modded it? Because last I checked it ran SteamOS (an immutable Arch variant) and used KDE in desktop mode, whereas Pop uses Gnome...

I prefer Lollypop for music, but can completely agree with 0 AD. I'm amazed that is FOSS.

American Truck Simulator. And I can't stop. I don't know why it's so enjoyable. I have a huge backlog of games to play, but instead I've got a load of Amonium Nitrate to haul to Barstow, CA.

The other partner in FUTO is Louis Rossman. Maybe one cancels out the other?

I agree with the idea of focusing on one integration at a time. I got very frustrated with HA when I first started. Then (since everyone told me how great it was), I started trying just to get one thing working. After I did, I moved on to the next. Now, I'm your typical HA fan boy.

AM5 sockets are now LGA like Intel. AM4 was the last PGA socket, so bent pins on the chip are a thing of the past. Make sure to leave the socket cover in place while installing the CPU. Now, the fear is bending a pin on the MoBo.

Vuescan is great, and near as I can tell it's one guy. Totally worth it.

I've just started using Black Box and I really like it.

Pop has automatic updates now.

I run the Community Edition of OnlyOffice documents server on my home server in Docker. My server has a Core i77 7700 and 32GB of RAM. And tons of other Docker containers. No issues.

I was curious, so I took a look at what it was using. At idle, it sits at 927.4 MB, and 0.1% of my CPU (the 7700 is only a 4 core CPU). I opened and edited a Word document on OnlyOffice (I have it connected using the Nextcloud connector). It spiked to 1GB of RAM, and momentary spikes to 35% of CPU, and then back down to 0.1-0.2% of CPU. I'd say it's worth trying at least. Worst case scenario, you delete the Docker container if it's unworkable.

However, I think the Community Edition is lighter than advertised.

I use Cryptomator. Does exactly what you describe.

For the life of me, I can't figure out the search terms I need to find what I'm looking for. On top of that, I'm beginning to think I heard it on a podcast. But I seem to remember an interview with someone at Valve talking about how they were upstreaming EVERYTHING they were doing. I would assume that meant kernel work as well.

My sentiments exactly!

I use some of their switches using Home Assistant's Homekit integration. Set them up on wifi in their app, add to HA, then block internet access in my router's firewall. Kind of the best of both worlds at that point.

I'm chalking it up to various different Lemmy app growing pains? I've settled on Liftoff, and it gets random weird 404 errors.

More than likely. Since the description clearly states "8x3.5 HDD Hot-Swap drive bays." It's not the only case of similar form factor that you can get 8 hot swap drive bays. There are literally tons of NAS case designs to choose from.

Did you encrypt your whole drive during Pop installation? If so, I've never found a good way to dual boot with an encrypted drive other than refind.

What are render times like?

There’s an option to automatically shutdown when battery drops to X%

Where do I find it? I've gone all through the settings and the developer settings, is it in desktop mode?

You can change to developer options and unknown sources on your phone before you get to your car. I have noticed updates occasionally lead to Android Auto not making Antenna Pod available. I've found that turning off unknown sources and then turning it back on will fix it.

I did. This should teach me not to try and cook dinner and post at the same time. I'm NOT that good at multitasking...

I've built every NAS/home server I've ever had. There's lots of options out there for the case as well. You could take an SFF Mini ITX case with a single 5 1/4" drive bay and put an icy dock 8 x 2.5" SATA backplane in it. Don't know if icy dock (brand) is widely available in Europe...

Just pointing out that if you imagine it (form factor with 8 hot swappable drives) there's probably a solution to build it from scratch.
