What’s that? There’s English, French (aka weirdo Canadian), German (aka hate speech), Spanish (aka Mexican) and China

What are you on about?

Don’t send dickpics. You never know when they’ll show up on a leak.

I finally made it work last week. I was overcomplicating, as usual: nextcloud AIO includes all the requirements to run Talk, I just had to modify the config file to point at my domain and add a new entry at :8081 on my reverse proxy. Hosted a 2 hour video call with 3 friends without issues!

I didn’t start with a spare, so by the time I was semi-reliant on my self hosted stuff, a breakage was an issue. Also I started with bare Linux, then CasaOS. There was no easy rollback from snapshot/restore backup like on proxmox

Good luck!

I will probably get flogged by this answer but here it goes:

I’d throw you right into the deep end: get a spare machine (an old laptop or PC) and install proxmox on it. Play around, breaks shit, delete the container/VM and start over.

Grab stuff from the Community Helper Scripts and see new stuff, try alternatives, see what works for you and don’t be afraid of breaking stuff.

It takes a bit longer and some basic concepts might fly over your head, but the stuff you learn like this, you learn by heart.

It’s been a few years since I started tinkering with a laptop with a busted video output circuit. Now I serve NextCloud and Immich to my family, keep receipts and documents neatly organised on Paperless, have a decent arr stack and a bunch of extra goodies. All from “a PC without video? Might as well make a server” now with a proper machine with several drives on ZFS pools, health checks and redundancy.

Its a helluva rabbit hole.

I already commented on Outer Wilds, and this one is probably not fitting on Patient Gamers, but…

I have never just stopped and listened the main menu of a game fully, on multiple occasions… Until Expedition 33.

For whatever reason I felt like i was comitting a sheer disrespectful act to interrupt it.

Man, being earwormed in the main menu and through the entrire game to reach credits and have the full song blast through was mind blowing to me back when it released!

The only game so far that achieved this (and surpassed it by a lot IMO) is Outer Wilds

I loved the idea behind Funkwhale but damn it was such q a chore to set up I ended up spinning up 4 navidrome instances lol

No joke here, try (internet) radio. You’ll discover stuff you’d never get on algo-based recommendations. I might be biased by growing up with Winamp’s shoutcast

Sadly they are clamping down on that front too. AOSP is no longer being developed in the open. They are also moving to a standardised internal emulator instead of releasing the “recipe” to build on real hardware development platforms (aka pixel phones)

Ooooooh this is huge! Thanks, i was really itching to play em!

Thats an aussie delicacy, what struggle?

Snags ftw, mate!

It’s your system and you agreed to licence your data to them. So technically it’s not theft. But also technically, pirating isn’t theft either, you’re not breaking into microsoft HQ and stealing a product key.

On a practical everyday way, yeah, I would say they are “stealing” your data, since they hide that as a clause in a massive EULA that can be altered at any time, and you either accept it or don’t get to use what you bought.

You sign ownership away when you scroll past 35 pages and click “I Accept”

Easy, they got slowboiled since the Vista era.

Which version? The daisy wheel or the dual thumb keyboard?

I kinda miss the older circular mode, it was hard to get used to, but it was really quick and precise

No they weren’t. I used to play Elite Dangerous and the paddles were used as modifiers, so for example the left paddle held down would change all the face button inputs to distributing energy while the right pad would swap them to common cockpit functions (landing gear, fsd, lights…) Meanwhile both bumpers and triggers remained as a single function: yaw and weapon groups
