  • No, seriously.

    This mindset of, “If you don’t like to read pages of documentation to figure out how to do the thing you’re wanting to do, then maybe Linux isn’t for you?” Or the “god. How dare you ask such a STUPID question. You’re using Linux wrong and it probably isn’t for you. Go back to baby’s first OS!” Is the biggest gripe I have about using Linux.

  • As the poster above stated, permissions and the way things are explained for those permissions or the settings in general are vague as fuck to someone who has just now dipped their toes into the OS. It's a headache to learn, but once you get it setup (I recommend using Obsidian to keep some notes for your future self on how you set it up) it does relatively work absolutely fine.

    Is there any thing in particular you need info on? I used Kagi Assistant during the moments where I didn't fully understand why things were the way they were, i.e. "I want to use this like I use my Synology, what the hell is an ACL??". I may be able to fumble you along like I did myself! :P

    EDIT: I guess I could actually try to answer your question. What I did was create my own admin account and group and named them my name. After creating them, I logged into my newly made account (or tried to!) until I realized I didn't have the same permissions as the TrueNAS_admin account, so I essentially copied those. I then logged in successfully this time, so I made sure I could do what I could do on the admin account. I could, so I then made sure the truenas_admin account was disabled. (or, I believe I did. I may not have, so look into that before you try it). Then I used Kagi Assistant to give me a general overview of what permissions my admin account should have so that I can always access whatever the hell I want on my own setup. I am at work right now, but I wrote down the list of groups that you would add to your Auxiliary Groups. Some that I do remember are: apps, libvert (and the other virt. These are needed for you to use the NAS as a VM, which I did want to try out since my Synology is way too under powered for any real VM tinkering) and whatever groups the truenas_admin account has. If you'd like the full list, I can try to remember to give it to you, but once I am home, I usually have too much going on for me to remember things.

    After that, I am actually able to do mostly what I want for my own setup. I'm a single person using it all the time, so your mileage and needs will probably vary. :)

  • I used to look into conspiracy stuff, and came out laughing at them after seeing the first tRump presidency, and realizing the government isn't even smart enough to handle actual problems, let alone a "NWO" ("New World Order"). Sorry guys, incompetence all the way up!

    P.S. I never fully believed them, but some of the stuff was interesting to think about at the least. Now, I don't ever care about them because they make less sense than ever. Jewish space lasers, amiright?

  • tal, good to see you! I remember you for the "kagis real quick" comments you've left before! I actually started using Kagi because of you, and the assistant was a great help in getting my TrueNAS Scale setup, among many many other things. I actually love searching for things (most of the time) now! Thank you for enlightening me! :)

  • I'm using TrueNAS Scale right now on my second server (landfill bound, offered money for it, got it for free baby!) which was just some Dell computer from some older people who bought a brand new computer because this one was "not letting them install stuff". The permissions, and the way things are explained for the settings/permissions, are AWFUL for someone who has just now dipped their toes into this OS.

    TrueNAS Scale is great for what it is, but please be ready for some headaches if you're fresh into the scene. I still recommend it for now.

  • The problem with using flat pack version of Steam for me was the weird folder structure for installing games. I like my stuff to be easy to remember and human readable. I.e. Home/Games instead of 726284783/737384/*installed game

  • Yeah. I see some people trying to talk down to those of us who just call them fucking idiots. “Well, is that any way to get them to see your point of view? How does that help any?”

    My brother in Christ, we’ve tried doing that for the LAST 8 YEARS. If they haven’t gotten any more wise since then, and in fact doubled down for round 2, what the fuck else can you do but call the dumbass duck a dumbass duck?!

  • MSN is also terrible about this shit. I turned off their new tab garbage and replaced it with Bonjourr right before the election because of all the misinformation it was showing. Crazy we just accept this shit man.

    As for YouTube, this is very easy to verify. Sign out of YouTube > CTRL+F5 > look at the top viewed videos

    You will see what garbage most of the populace sees when they go to YouTube without logging in. I believe this is the real reason they don’t care if people log in or not. They can push the narrative while seeming like they’re being good guys by allowing you to consume content “for free”.

  • Hi there, PAWtner, I hope this doesn't come off as a CATastrophe, but I hope you are PURRusing your code on VSCodium and not VSCode.

    ;)

    EDIT: Upon further examination, your PAWs are already on VSCodium. PURRfect. :)

  • Bought a Roku back in 2020 or 2021 because the Apple TV was more expensive.

    Now I know why.

    For what it is worth, I have Roku set up as a REGEX in my Pi-hole so for the most part, any of this nonsense is completely blocked on my Roku.

    Needless to say, I shouldn’t have to do this shit with a device I paid for and mainly use for Plex streaming.

  • Yeah, I’ve never liked timed anything in video games. I’m playing video games to escape, not stress about missing something that could be important. I’m supportive of adding a toggle that gives the player the option on if they want timed quests or not.

  • I know it’s not the old school version they’re after (I believe they’re going for RuneScape 1?) but 2009scape exists for anyone else interested. Fully playable offline in single player mode, with bots as other “players”, plenty of options like GE buying and selling for the bots, and others. You can also play with other real players by using the launcher too, but I’ve only tried it in single player due to me just trying to scratch that RuneScape itch! Haha!

    Here is the official website. They’ve recently moved their project off of GitHub and now host it on Gitlab.

    Orion's Next Chapter: Linux Development Officially Launched

    kagi.com Kagi Search Changelog

    Better search results with no ads. Welcome to Kagi (pronounced kah-gee), a paid search engine that gives power back to the user.

    Kagi is now beginning development for Orion on Linux! It's a webkit based browser, which isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I am ecstatic to see something other than another freaking Chromium browser!

    If I repent of anything... by Henry David Thoreau

    This quote popped up the other day, and I just wanted to share it. With everything going on in the world right now, and especially in my country personally, I can't help but wonder why I have always strove to be good and to do my best for not only myself, but everyone I have ever met. Maybe when I'm lying there dying from whatever is to come, I will fully regret being a "good" person.

    King's Field IV: The Ancient City

    cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/45674424

    Hello, all!

    I have recently gotten into playing FromSoftware's older titles, namely King's Field and Shadow Tower: Abyss.

    It's all thanks to a Youtuber called Majuular. I had no idea at all about these games, since at best I'm just a light and casual fan of Dark Souls 2/3, and Elden Ring. What I mainly enjoy about Dark Souls/Elden Ring is the exploration aspect, hence the casual.

    I've got to say, if you haven't played King's Field IV: The Ancient City, or Shadow Tower: Abyss (Shadow Tower: Abyss is a Japan exclusive, but a fan translation patch is available!), and you enjoy romping through retro games with that certain something that only FromSoftware provides, please give these games a try!

    To add context, after watching Majuular's video on King's Field, and his video on Shadow Tower's series, I started to look into more of From's older games, and found

    “My dead father is “writing” me notes again A recent AI discovery resurrected my late father's handwriting—and I want anyone to use it.” - by Benj Edwards - Sep 12, 2024 5:00am CST

    I find this use of AI, like with 99% of the “uses” for AI to be not only disturbing as all hell, but shows that we are creeping closer and closer to bizarro world.

    Recently set up dual boot..

    EDIT: Pathfinder worked perfectly with the mods! I was even able to have it setup the exact same way by transferring the mods from my desktop mods folder to the decks folders. 👍

    Hello, all!

    I just wanted to post and say that dual booting with tiny11 has worked flawlessly so far, and I will update you all when I finish downloading Pathfinder and trying it out on the windows side. If it works well enough, I can boot back into SteamOS and delete it from there as I am wanting to play with a few mods and SteamOS breaks them due to UnityModManager being a windows only program.

    If you have any questions, I can point you to where I found my answers, or I may even be able to provide some info to address any issues I was also running into during the process. 👍

    Preserving dynamic webpages

    Is there any way at all for me to preserve webpages like this so that if the website goes down or the webpage is abandoned I may still use the web page as intended? I guess I could take a chunk of time out of the day to recreate this in an excel sheet, but I wanted to ask here just in case there is a smarter way to do it.

    Thank you!
