  • Finally had enough of Windows. I'm packing up. I'm nervous!

    Jump

  • I think I have a fairly good idea of where I'm going. I've been using my old gaming rig as a Linux self hosting server for a few months now, I'm confortable with the Terminal and SSH. Kind of understand the file structure, but not as instinctively as Windows for sure.

    I'm more worried about the friction of not having every software I wish for instantly available.

    For instance, I use MusicBee to listen to my music library. It's been the case for over a decade, so I'm not sure where I'll go.

  • Thanks for dropping those names, I'll get Lutris and PoL :)

  • I've had the desire to leave for a while, that's why I thought creating a linux server to self host apps with my former gaming PC would be a great way to get started with Linux and learn the basics while still relying on Windows for my main stuff for a while.

    Games were my last point of resistance, but I don't play as much anymore so I think I should just take the plunge.

    Can you elaborate the /home on a different partition part? How do you split your partition and does it mean you can switch distro and still have your stuff laying around as if you plugged an external disk?

    Jump

  • Okay so I'm slightly confused and I haven't experimented with that on my server because it's only one single drive. If I have several drives and partition one for the distro, the other drives as storage partitions. Are the data storage drives compatible between distro?

    Would that mean that I could go pick a new distro, nuke the "distro drive", but leave the others disk intact and just log in the new distro with my drives as they were?

  • Yeah, my tea has water-cooling

    Jump

  • I bought a kettle with a temperature selector. I have one degree of precision. Which is often overkill. It's surprisingly useful to be able to heat water at non scalding temps. Especially for cleaning tasks, actually.

  • Are you cancelling streaming services?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I wanted to go the usb route but I only have one usb port which is often used to display Waze on the screen. I thought of using Spotify with an Adblock but that's not ideal as it could stop working anytime and basically revert to being a radio. Can't wait to find a way to ditch tidal.

  • Are you cancelling streaming services?

    Jump

  • I have tidal for music and I really want to drop it since their price hike. The only thing still blocking me is that I don't have a decent way to listen to music in my car without a subscription service. It sucks.

  • "waves of technological innovation" have gotten faster over time, "students might now find themselves learning skills in college that are obsolete by the time they graduate"

  • Applies to many fields. Studied translation at university and, kudos to the head teacher, he kept saying we worked on current software for illustration but the point was to learn transverse skills to apply to whatever tools are trendy once on the market. Turns out I work in a firm working outdated software older than my uni did. But I always agreed with the dude, we'll have to adapt or die as businesses.

  • Article: GPS Watch? No Thanks. Top Runners Are Ditching the Data.

    Jump

  • I was thinking about that during my run yesterday. It was on my wrist but I didn't really look at it because now I know what feelings to look for. It's been very very useful as a beginner though when I was always running too fast.

    It still has a use for me because I like setting up adventures. Pick points of interests on a map, set them as compass waypoints and try to find it while running.

  • grocy bangs head

    Jump

  • No, it's on the awesome self hosted list. It's a great simple recipe manager, shopping list. Nice ui. My wife uses it to meal prep and I'm trying to understand grocy to speed up the process of checking what we need to buy.

  • Instead of movies and crappy games on those in-flight displays, they should just stream the view out the cockpit window.

    Jump

  • Probably depends on the plane somewhat. I flew Air-France to go to Mexico and didn't have that on their a380

  • Fully local nameservice

    Jump

  • Here to ask questions too. Is it necessary to add stuff to etc/hosts for this to work man only? Do I have to do portforwarding on my routeur and to what?

    I've been trying to achieve exactly that for a week now and none of my attempts load at all.

    Is there a resource or YouTube guide explaining all this so I actually know what I''m doing?

  • Exemployees of a company, what was your "fuck this shit I'm out moment"?

    Jump

  • It was an internship and I didn't plan on staying but once I got called in the manager's office. He asked me if I were doing some industrial spying . At that point in life all I wanted was to go home and play some games for the rest of summer until university starts over.

    He threatened me he could see everything I did on my computer and asked me if he should look it up. To which I said go ahead you'll find my job.

    Couple days later I arriver exactly 3 minutes lates because of public transportation issue. I used to arrive 15 minutes early everyday because my transport schedule was that way. I got summoned again to tell me to leave earlier.

    I told all that to my university and they decided to blacklist the company. Being that my university was part of a .bigger network, their behaviour led them to be cut off from the biggest local intern pool.

    No idea why they were so annoying, I wasn't even browsing Reddit on their computer back then and used my phone for that kind of stuff. No idea what lead them to think I'd steal data. I don't even know if they have competitors haha

  • Reddit is down

    Jump

  • Also, it was full of knowledge that has been deleted. I'm starting my Linux journey and every error I get has at least one Reddit post about it. Most answers are deleted and I have to go on other sites.

    I'd say we did lose a lot. It's akin to an autodafé.

  • [SOLVED] Plex (and Jellyfin too) don't see the content of /media (docker/debian)

    Jump

  • Thanks, that helped.

    Can I create several -v paths for different media locations or should I just move all data into the one folder mapped?

    Jump

  • Thanks, that was the problem. I read the docs and I got it.

  • People sticking with audio jack phones, why is USB-C earphones not a solution?

    Jump

  • Another reason I discovered recently. I work at home on a company laptop. Can't do shit with it so I listen to music via my phone or personal desktop. I tried using Bluetooth gear but realised quickly that if someone called me on teams/Skype or whatever, switching device with Bluetooth is tedious and slow. Wired stuff goes out and in, boom. Oh and none of my computer's have a usb c port despite one being fairly new (2021).

  • Elon May Have a Huge Issue Because Microsoft Owns the “X” Trademark

    Jump

  • I thought you couldn't take a trademark that already exists. At least in my country when I applied my trademark I had to use a portal to check it didn't exist and the service writes that they check too. Not sure about that but at least it's supposed to be checked and blocked if already taken.

  • Spoiler tag not working?

    Jump

  • Yep, doesn't work.
