Anyone for beard as a starter?

fonetic diners are the best

  • Sounds like a solid plan! I would be surprised if the public opinion here would be any different. There are no billionaires on Lemmy.

  • This is also how I have it set up, with "firefox multi-account containers" and "simple tab groups" working together, you can have multiple containerized accounts within one firefox instance. Works great!

  • Also, the difference between the tone of the speechea between Harris and Trump are like day and night. Where Trump continues to throw dirt and spew so much negativity, Harris sounds like someone who steps beyond the dirt throwing and really comes with a vision and ideas how to govern the country.

    Well, my 2cts from someone on the other end of the Atlantic 😀

  • At this point I am seriously wondering why people would like to use Chrome over Firefox for instance.

  • This is from the Blues Brothers movie from 1980.

  • AMD published a list with the mitigation on Sinkclose on all their processor ranges, and the ComboPI version that will have a patch:

    Security bulletin 7014

  • Use of hardware enablement package kernel might help here? It is called linux-generic-hwe or something like that. It will install a much newer kernel with more support for newer hardware.

  • You can easily selfhost Seafile and make a ‘dropbox’ like system with as many users you like, and as large a storage you can handle / afford. Although there is an enterprise version, the community edition provides with many features to make it really a great service. It is mighty fast, and has native clients for many different platforms, in addition to using the Seafile website to acces, upload and download files.

    I never hosted Nextcloud, but from what I read, it is a beast with way too many features to fit my use case. Seafile is doing one thing very well.

  • We have to speed up technology so that it outpaces us humans getting older!

  • That's the right question to ask! It may have to do with the Halo effect as well. Even though the influencer not necessarily is a celebrity, they have build a certain level of trust with their followers I guess... In any case, I dont get it either, but I may fall out of the audience for any influencer I guess...

  • Ah, that is a good point. I am using 6.5.0 kernel atm, as part of the HWE (hardware enablement) package, which supports QuckSync / hardware encoding of my 12th gen intel processor. I did a quick search, but did not find HWE for Debian is that correct?

  • Yes, I am running unattended-upgrades, and basically my current server is running 24/7 just fine! It is indeed like set and forget already. More reason to move to Debian!

  • It seems to be the most logical move to go from Ubuntu to Debian indeed. As I understand it maintains the core Linux system as I have it now (systemd / apt / stable kernel) while truly community driven. I have to look into transitioning into the latest stable Debian release.

    Linux distro for selfhosting server

    So I have been running a fair amount of selfhosted services over the last decade or so. I have always been running this on a Ubuntu LTS distribution running on a intel NUC machine. Most, if not all of my services run in a docker container, and using a docker compose file that brings everything up. The server is headless. I connect over ssh into a tmux config so I am always ready to go.

    Ubuntu has been my stable server choice over the years. I've made the upgrade from 16, 18, 20 and 22 LTS release and everything has kept working. I even upgraded the hardware (old NUC to a new NUC) and just imaged the disk from the old one onto the new machine, and the server kept chugging along quite nicely, after I configured the hardware (specifically the Intel QuickSync for hardware transcoding in the Plex container).

    Since Ubuntu has been transitioning from a really open community driven effort into a commercial enterprise, I feel it may be time to look at other distributions. On the other hand, i

  • interesting! So I should be able to throw my docker-compose yamls directly at Podman and be good to go?

  • just curious; why would you like to use podman over docker? I have a lot of docker containers running, wondering if I should switch to podman.

  • bot fight! lol…

    We know humanity is lost if bots are starting to fight over domination…

  • hmm, not sure why baca would need so many requirements. I installed baca using pip as per (https://github.com/wustho/baca), on a hedless ubuntu based server. Maybe on Arch it would need to install / update python packages?

    You could also try epy (https://github.com/wustho/epy) which is also a terminal based epub reader.

  • baca is a terminal based epub reader. Quite nice.

  • If you are just looking for a way to SSH into your machines from outside your network, you can setup a more recent VPN or Wireguard yourself. If you have a Raspberry Pi lying around, using PIVPN makes things super easy. You can have both OpenVPN as well as Wireguard running if you want, using the same script. If that is the only thing you like to do, then there is no need to reverse proxy your servers and expose them. Just having a VPN or Wireguard connection should be enough to access your servers when outside of your network. It is recommended to have a fixed IP btw, to find your VPN/Wireguard server easily.

    Also, you can leave all your servers locally (and not exposing them) when you can reliably setup a VPN/Wireguard connection. That is the most secure I guess.

  • you can automate a lot of the basc profile stuff in your dotfiles with some automation such as https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot to bootstrap a new install. it makes your new distro right at home, and if you combine this with github to store your dotfiles, you’ll also have a backup of your environment.

    Solasta as a platform for solo DnD?

    So this may be a silly question. Long time ago I played D&D with friends. We had a good DM, and had a great time as a party of friends roleplaying an interesting adventure. Fast forward to now, where life, family, work and all not easily allows to currently play with a great roleplaying group.

    So, looking to fill in a bit of the fun, I was looking at doing some solo RPG with FoundryVTT and the Mythic Game Engine. However, focusing more on D&D 5E mechanics in combat I discovered the game Solasta: Crown of the Magister. It looks like it provides a great environment to do some 'quick' D&D combat sessions with some light roleplaying. Also, it allows people to create their own adventures and share them. So, on paper it should tick many of the boxes of solo D&D.

    Has anyone played with Solasta? What did you like from a D&D perspective? And what not?

    BTW, I'm also playing BG3 (100hrs currently into the game).
