Proxmox. I’ve been using it and deployed jellyfin in a container, they have a bunch of one-click deployments and it’s great. Or you can just use a VM to group Docker containers together. Having a beautiful web interface is huge, Plus being able to access that interface from anywhere via WireGuard/Tailscale is great.

If you do choose to go down this route, there is a “no-nag proxmox” script somewhere, and it will disable some warnings and give you deeper customization options. Well worth a look!

I’m out of the loop, what is the advantage to coreboot?

I feel out of the loop, what’s Slackware?

I actually went to GrapheneOS from my iPhone, after deciding none of the other option were going to work for me. Bummer about the encryption, maybe that can be fixed?

How is SailfishOS? I was keeping an eye on UBPorts (Ubuntu Touch), occasionally installing that on my Pixel 3a, but it just wasn’t there for me. Same for PostMarketOS, but the new GNOME Shell on mobile seems great. How is Android app support on SailfishOS?

So glad you just mentioned this - I’ll have to take a look!

BlendOS Will let you install virtually any package format through containerization, but it shows up just as if it was a native app. It’s pretty neat to see and I hope more distros adopt this

BattleBots for the win, fantastic action!

Godot is going to see a massive migration, I can already feel it. No huge company behind it, waiting to do a rugpull.

I agree about the Nintendo exclusive games, but the price is about the same. 320 US dollars gets you a refurbished 64 GB steam deck, which is basically the same price as the standard Switch and even cheaper than the OLED model. Not to mention all the great sales and cheap keys you can get

Edit: I do own both, I’ve had a switch since launch day, so I recognize the power that the first party exclusives have. I certainly don’t hate on the switch by any means

Just to clarify, not to start a whole debate, but it’s not truly free. You are paying for it through taxes which means it’s probably cheaper for the average person, which is fair, but you pay a heck of a lot more in taxes than some other countries. Here in the US, generally low income people will qualify for “free” healthcare and university (or if not, universities will typically cover the majority of tuition with grants). Kindergarten through 12th grade is covered by taxes for everyone as well. I do like the idea of requiring a certain percentage of properties to be high-density, that way you don’t have a developer building exclusively luxury properties and screwing everybody else over.

That could be interesting, as then the corporations would still be paying for a percentage of repairs directly

Church is meaningless if it’s not provided at a useful voltage though. What people truly care about is usable energy, which is what Watt-hours or Joules tell us. For example, I don’t care if my portable battery pack is 1000 milliamp hours, it’s meaningless unless I also know The battery chemistry used (nominal voltage) and the number of cells so I can figure out the actual potential energy.

Also, as a phone’s battery ages, if I’m not mistaken it truly does hold less “charge”, but I still believe the more useful metric is actual energy stored. That’s how it’s done in the EV scene, you use kWh to see how much energy is left in your battery. As the battery ages, “100%” represents slightly lesser energy (kWh)

Now I’m wondering if it’ll surpass the PS2 in lifetime sales…

I run Proxmox which is based on Debian, no issues for over a year now!

Did you read the last part of the comment?

I’m lucky - I’m in a Midwest town as well (between 1500 to 3000 people) in the US. A couple of years ago, fiber got installed. I’m getting about 900Mbps down and 99 up, no data cap, for $84/month. Before that I also had Mediacom, and the data cap was infuriating. So glad I could switch!

Yes, I’m an Nvidia user on Ubuntu (soon to switch to something else I think). The issue is the drivers on Wayland suck. Routine screen tearing with dual monitors (even if the second one is disabled in GNOME Settings). It also gives me issues with hardware acceleration for OBS captures. Had I been planning ahead I would’ve gone with AMD, but I got the 3070 for a great price during the shortages so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: to be clear, it’s fine and usable with one monitor, but still annoying. Switching to X11 gives me a whole different set of issues that just isn’t worth the tradeoffs. I still play games with no fuss with one monitor, it just sucks that I have framerate issues running OBS at 1080p30 capture with a 3070

Goldberg Steam Emulator helps a bit (not sure if it’s only for ARM Linux devices though). Hit replicates the functionality that scheme client provides, so even if steam itself should disappear you still have that. That doesn’t really help with third-party DRM, but it’s at least something that could help in such an event

I mean sadly you’re right - people like to hate on our defense spending in the US, but who does the world look towards when Russia invades Ukraine? It sucks that it needs to be this way, but if we don’t have a strong deterrent to other countries then we’re just asking for problems. Look at how aggressive China and Russia have gotten recently, with China inching closer to an invasion of Taiwan. Who’s going to be laughing when the US is there to help Taiwan?
