Look I know you mean well and you have a lot of faith and love for your people and that reflects really well on you.

What I gather from your message is that people don’t like this but also don’t have a sense of urgency but you are strong in your faith that at the last minute there will be a sudden moment where everyone will leap into action to stop the worst. Things don’t work that way.

There is an active coup of your country right now at this moment. It’s maybe not clear to you as a citizen because you’re inside the boiling pot but to those outside, these things don’t happen without being a coup. Yall even have a constitutional amendment for this exact moment.

I’ve gone out of my way to look for coverage of any sort of protesting. I saw a single day of scattered small-medium protests called 50501 or something a couple weeks ago. That’s it. Angry crowds in front of government buildings doesn’t sound like serious protests given the sheer amount of what’s been going on in that country.

All Amerikans deserve this and worse because they sit at home and complain online while a literal textbook definition of a coup is happening to their country. The country that literally screeches at the top of its lungs about the second amendment and right to have a gun “in case of a tyrannical government”. Not a single shot fired. No protests, just complaints. Y’all gave up your country without a fight.

Because this is what Amerikans want. They don’t bother voting and don’t care to actively participate in democracy. They’d rather have a strongman who tells them what to think and do. It eliminates cognitive load that could be better spent on TikTok or other short-form video apps.

This is so true. Release half baked game and have the players pick up the slack with mods.

“Be the game”.

A lot of amerikans are homeschooled or haven’t left their small town. True for some Canadians too.

They do this on purpose until someone notices. It’s a sick running joke at Ubisoft.

Ya I’m aware of how messed up Roblox is. I went on it once to experience it. It seems like rockstar saw this and thought “let’s make it less square and more titty”.

No most of my work is company IP and internal so I wouldn’t be able to provide a link.

They’re gonna give us Roblox with titties.

It’s fantastic. I use it professionally. A lot of comments say it’s just for basic editing and I think they haven’t scratched the surface.

There are a lot of advanced effects like grading, time remapping, and motion tracking that simply are not basic effects. If you want basic, try out OpenShot. Kdenlive is a fucking gem. It’s replaced premiere for me.

 

Hi!

I have an old gaming pc (i5 9400F) with 16gb of ram that has been acting as my home server with proxmox. It’s quite large and quite loud and very overpowered for what I’m using it for (home assistant, Minecraft server, some lxc containers) and a mini pc (amd 5800h with 16gb ram).

I want to sell my gaming pc, place the HDD into a NAS (and samba share my plex library), and potentially grab a low powered N100 minipc to pick up the lxc containers and home assistant that my gaming pc is running.

New to self hosting so wondering if this is a good setup or if there are any glaring issues you see with this. What is your setup?

 

I just learnt a sore tooth of mine is caused by my tooth root never fully closing (due to getting braces and shifting my teeth around). Now at 30 I need a root canal.

I’ve never even had a cavity before. I’m legit terrified. Teeth are the one thing that are much worse than nails on chalkboard for me.

How was your experience been? Any words of advice or words of encouragement? I could use it :(

 

It’s obvious and you would be deluded into thinking everyone you interact with likes you.

But how do you feel it?

Context: I’m a course instructor and I get direct reviews on my lessons and around 95% of feedback is positive to very positive.

There’s less than 5% of my reviews that have real negative and non-constructive comments. Things like accusations of being incompetent or unprepared or full of shit, etc. They mention times I had technical difficulties or made a mistake (like giving an incorrect response)

Just by the numbers alone this is a very small minority overall. Yet these comments stick in my head and make me doubt my abilities.

So what are your strategies or ways you drown out this stuff?

Sup penguin people.

I’ve been running various flavours and variations of Ubuntu for a while. I find I have to nuke and reset my laptop every 6ish months because things eventually stop working or I get weird bugs.

Recently I’ve been having this on and off problem where the computer just shows a black screen after turning it on. The only way to fix this is to tap keys repeatedly until a console shows up and it seems to kick the computer into gear and log in. Other times I have to restart 2-3 times before it logs me in.

I’ve had a lot of small issues like that (like having to jiggle the volume knob in the sound mixer to get sound working) and I’m wondering if switching to an immutable distro (like bazzite) would solve this apparent config creep.

I have a Steamdeck and it’s been solid and stable ever since I got it. I know it’s running an immutable distro and after researching a little bit it sounds like they can be more stable.

I’m no power user but I play some steam games and run a local 7b LLM and like to have a virtual machine or two for Windows XP emulation for some retro gaming.

Anyone have any opinions? What are your thoughts on immutable distros (like Bazzite)? Pros? Cons? Success/doom stories?

Edit: I’m back baby. 4 months later and still kicking it with Bazzite. Go immutable if you’re a former windows person and needs a computer to just work the way you’d expect without any configuration. I’m running all my steam games and plugging into my usb c dock for mouse keyboard webcam and 2 1080p monitor. I could never get that working on other distros. The future is immutable 🙌

 

Take on a second job to fulfill your civic duty to De Beers.

 

Hi all!

I have a laptop running Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS and I want to switch to KDE Plasma 6.

How should I change over and why?

Option 1: Install KDE Plasma 6 alongside GNOME

Option 2: Backup and fresh install KDE Neon.

Hi all!

I’ve had Nextcloud installed on Docker and it has been working for a while until now.

I had to change my server from wifi to Ethernet and gave it a new static IP. I also uninstalled docker and reinstalled it so I’d be starting fresh.

I have Nextcloud working and when I go to localhost:8070, Nextcloud works properly. When I use another device connected to the same network by wifi, it doesn’t work.

I made sure the config.php file has the server’s static IP address listed in the trusted domains category.

This used to work before but now after hours of troubleshooting, I’m all out of ideas and frustrated 😩 Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: My wife to stroll by and casually was all “did you check Windows Firewall?” and lo and behold, Windows Firewall chose today to block private connections on Docker Desktop backend -_-

Once I enabled it everything worked perfectly. Leaving this up here in case someone else stumbles upon this exact issue.

 

My wife and I have always wanted to have a dog and out of an interesting turn of events, we have the opportunity to adopt a 2 year old dog that a family friend cannot take care of anymore (they developed an illness that radically saps their energy).

Super excited but a little worried about making sure the doggo is taken care of properly. We’ll have to drive him back in our car for 3h30 and we have an old overly-affectionate cat.

What do people think? Any tips? Relevant stories? Give me your thoughts and have an awesome day!🙂

 

I’m running KDE Wayland session on a Surface Pro 6 and the UI is much too small.

I changed the UI scale in System Settings which works for all my apps except for the system text (panels, menus, Dolphin). The text in my system UI is super blurry.

I’ve done a bit of research and it looks like Wayland may not support fractional scaling properly, but I’m finding conflicting info on this.

At this time, is it possible to run a Wayland session in KDE with 150-200% UI scaling?

 
 

Every month or so all my devices lose internet and the only way to connect them all back is to disconnect them from the DNS server that Pihole is running.

I set my Pihole to have a static IP but for some reason after around a month or maybe longer, it just fails. This has happened 4 times over the last while and the only fix is to essentially uninstall everything on my Pihole, disable it, and then reconfigure it from scratch again.

I’m not sure what’s going on so any help would be appreciated.
