I’m looking at moving my NAS to it.

I currently use openSUSE Leap, so to prep for the switch, I’m moving everything to podman.

I’ve never had a system update go bad on Leap, but I am being impacted by old system packages but don’t want to jump to Tumbleweed. I’m hoping this will give me a more up to date base and force me to put things into containers properly.

All of those should be fine, the main caveats w/ Linux are:

• anti-cheat games generally don’t work - there are exceptions, and this is a limitation by the developer, not Linux
• Windows-only software can be iffy - e.g. photoshop and whatnot
• using an NTFS drive on Linux can have surprises - don’t mount your game lib on Linux, just redownload

Blender works perfectly fine, gaming on Steam and Heroic works well, emulators work well, and while I don’t know anything about Linux music production, I know there are software options available.

Anyway, I recommend buying a separate disk and trying Linux out. That way you don’t touch your current Windows install while messing w/ stuff.

Presumably, the “algorithm” is based on whatever is most profitable. So probably some combination of most viewers, best ad engagement (click through rate), and best conversion/appeal to Premium subs.

That’s assuming YouTube’s primary goal is to make money, and which it should be as part of a publicly traded company.

My point is that those thumbnails and titles work, so if we want something different, we need to reward better thumbnails and titles and stop engaging w/ poor ones.

Exactly. Following the flow of traffic is more important than following posted speed limit signs, in both directions.

Been messing around w/ podman, and after hours of slamming my head against the wall, I decided Seafile isn’t worth it. :) It launches a bunch of stuff inside one container, and I just couldn’t figure out how to get that to work w/ quadlet (worked fine w/ podman kube play though).

I got forgejo set up and now I’m looking into setting up runners so I can finally migrate off hosted gitlab onto my own forgejo instance.

Some other things I’m planning on doing this week:

• migrate existing services to podman quadlet from docker compose - will make each existing service into a pod and play w/ pod networking
• set up technitium - tested it locally and it worked well, so just need to move it and configure it; hope to use it as the primary DNS for my house
• set up owncloud ocis - there’s a new POSIX FS option, which was my main hangup when I last looked into a nextcloud alternative (I only need storage + collabora)
• probably some kind of dashboard, because the number of services I host is getting a bit long

If I get time, I want to install openSUSE MicroOS onto my NAS and start migrating everything to it (from openSUSE Leap). I really like the idea of an immutable base OS, and my NAS is already 90% containers (pretty much just Samba left). I need to fix some permission issues anyway (keep having to chown my videos so samba and jellyfin can work together), and this should make things a bit more obvious.

I’ll probably also start a blog about my self-hosting journey, because the info around podman is kinda sparse, especially when it comes to quadlet.

Edit: got OCIS working, but it was a bit of a pain. Starting that blog really sounds like a good idea…

I got mine at launch an absolutely love it.

Eh, I’ve had pretty good luck with Verified titles. It’s not perfect, but generally speaking:

• verified - no concerns about compat
• playable - check reasons, and maybe protondb if there’s anything concerning
• unsupported/unknown - check protondb

ProtonDB also isn’t perfect, and there are plenty of “gold” and “platinum” titles that I’ve had (small) issues with.

That sounds horrifying. :)

In an ideal world, sure, but all software has bugs (example vulnerabilities here). Proper security design doesn’t ask “how can X happen?” but “what if X happens?” If you break out of a docker container, you have root access to the system because the docker daemon runs as root.

With podman, there is no root docker daemon, so you’d also need privilege escalation in addition to breaking out of the container.

Put them in a pod and it’s just systemctl --user start <name>-pod or sudo systemctl start <name>-pod. A pod is basically a compose file, but split across multiple files instead of chunks of yaml.

based on already getting downvoted

In this case, yes, but in general, downvotes just mean your take is unpopular. The downvotes could be from people who don’t like Tesla and see any defense of Tesla as worthy of downvotes.

So good on you for making the point that you believe in. It’s good to try to understand why something you wrote was downvoted instead of just knee-jerk assuming that it’s because it’s a “bad take.”

algorithm-driven platform

And what is this “algorithm” based on? Actual user behavior. So the way to correct an algorithm is to change actual user behavior, no?

I would if it came out like that…

Same, but I’ve spent exactly $0. Most of their free games work just fine on my Steam Deck through Heroic, so I’m pretty happy.

Steam gets my money, EGS gets my weekly claims.

Recettear

This game rocks. 'Nuff said.

Maybe? I see it at $3.99, $4.99 is for the deluxe version. I don’t see it at $18.99 on Is There Any Deal, but who knows!

tr*gg*r

Anon described it as awkward silence. This implies that anon was picking up non verbal signals from their fellow students.

They’re probably just extremely anxious and have zero self-confidence. Not autistic or anything, just naturally nervous about public speaking and is “reading” stuff from the crowd that doesn’t exist because of that.

L*t’s

Friends don’t let friends get an HOA.
