Bazzite for personal stuff because it looked neat and just worked after installation with a small learning curve. Due to interia I went with bluefin on the work computer for the same reasons

Dual booting may be the way to go. Sure Steam, Proton, blah blah but there are so many other launchers and AAA games that are not going to be supported at all (or at least not without a bunch of fiddling). For my own kid, I gave up on Linux ages ago and they have a Wintendo now. I have been daily driving Linux since the mid 90s but I’m also practical when I need to be.

That machine is also isolated on its own VLAN to hopefully reduce the blast radius of whatever garbage it eventually detonates. I make regular backups of it and am ready to repave it at a moment’s notice.

It’s surreal reading comments pining for win7/8. i am getting old.

js considered harmful.

Bazzite, perhaps? I don’t have the dongle but all of my controllers have worked with it out of the box and I have a couple weird ones. It’s gaming focused so you might have some luck with it.

Also as others have said: xone.

how does this differ from profiles in grapheneos? i’ve not used stock android so i don’t know if it also has profiles but i used to use them for work related things.

sure, i expected this reply. again, i don’t necessarily agree with the statement. herd mentality or not it’s merely what i’ve observed.

i have yet to use one of these digital wallets but i would imagine a large part of it is “because everyone around me is doing it.” not necessarily herd mentality but the social shift of it making checkout processes faster so if you’re using cash or a card, you’re inconveniencing the people in line behind you (however rational that may be is another topic).

i live in a semi-rural area and have seen very few instances of someone paying with their phone. it’s so rare here, i’m not even sure how the process works. tap to pay with a card has only recently been more normalized here. however, when i travel for work to big cities, it seems like the only times cards are used is when there is a large group meal at a fancier restaurant.

i also carry a small amount of cash in case my card fails or a card machine is down but it’s very rare to see cash used here as well, except for personal payments. even then, third party pseudo-bank apps are consuming that process (cashapp, venmo, etc.).

i’m not trying to justify any of these payment processes or mark one as better than the others. it’s just an observation.

You can export your newpipe subs and import them into freetube. Sadly there isn’t an automation for this, though

I hoped for this for a long time before I found freetube. I’m still going to check it out, though. This is great news!

Kept my parents’ desktop running for 14 years with Debian, XFCE, and the occasional hardware replacement. Maybe a bit of a PC of Theseus scenario but it worked pretty great.

All my homies hate Nintendo.

What about Extraneum? It’s cute as a button and very chill with plenty of things to shoot. It feels a bit like a modern wolfenstein since there aren’t any stairs. Gunplay feels nice and the secrets are rewarding. Plus between levels there are funny data discs to read.

this is absolutely incredible. thank you so much!

I have been looking for something like this for ages. Wish it could be integrated into freetube and newpipe. Thanks for sharing!

Is it dead or complete? For my purposes, it doesn’t need any changes.

Many have mentioned org-mode. I used it for years but have moved on to todo.txt and markdown. I use syncthing to keep notes up to date on my phone and computer. I edit with whatever is available on my desktop and I use markor notes on my phone.

I think this setup only lacks the recurring tasks option. I think org-mode can do that but I use my calendar for that.

This is a highly personal topic so I’d suggest trying as many things as you can. Something will stick eventually.

“secure” boot, the industry standard for ensuring that devices don’t run software other than Windows during the bootup process

FTFY

This was my experience on the Xbox. Absolutely loved the campaign. Could not get a feel for how to survive mp after a few hours. There was a prolonged respawn and die nearly immediately loop. I uninstalled it after I got what I could from the campaign.

Pi-hole on an ancient pi zero w.

I’ve got a little MSI box with 16GB of RAM, 500GB SSD, and a quad core i3 running Proxmox. Home Assistant is in its own VM, I have a VM for a bastion host/jump box of sorts for a client’s network (yes, I know VPNs exist), and then a VM running a few Docker containers: CheckMK, Dozzle, Uptime Kuma, and The TP-Link Omada Controller software. I intend to migrate those to Podman eventually.

On my desktop in Podman, I’m running Dashy, Redlib, and Dozzle regularly. Sometimes I run other services but those are pretty persistent. I use Podman on my local machine for my development work and it’s just handy to have Redlib and Dashy right here.

I tend to interact with things via SSH unless it’s a webshit.
