A hopefully “success in progress”: I am building a new trueNAS server for storage. I have a k8s cluster and am currently using rancher for storage, but I decided at my scale central storage made more sense & would be easier to manage. I am also using that opportunity to upgrade from 2TB usable storage to 44TB usable storage. Fingers crossed everything will work 🤞

I know the dev that works on this haha. It really is a neat project, and the guy is brilliant!

The only that I have that is not there is autobrr, it’s really useful with private trackers. If you’re looking to expand what you did, that could be an interesting item to add!

3 months after I configured all of this myself hahaha, would’ve loved something like that back then!

I’ve also looked at an idea liked this, what stopped me was anti-cheat engines. They will usually block playing in a VM and there is no real way to trick them into thinking you’re not in a VM.

If that’s what works best for you, I don’t agree that having multiple boxes for different purposes linked by network is ugly. This is often what you see in enterprise and should bye plenty fast for your needs.

An full computer is also not a bad idea, if you want a gpu for transcoding it could be good. Honestly I found in most cases CPU transcoding with modern CPUs was quite good. If you go the GPU route, I would simply look for a used, cheap GPU it should do the trick!

Were you playing over ethernet or WiFi? Latency over ethernet is quite good. unless playing something like smash I never felt it.

Ive worked with thermal printers used in POS, and usually they use a different protocol than notmal printing so you’re not using cups (basically you send “commands” with text and its position). But i am sure there are some exceptions…

No problem, I expected as much but wanted to try haha

Do you think he would he share his deployment code? I was thinking of deploying excalidraw on my homeserver :p.

Looks like their paid confluence extension was called a scam in a review and they really did not like that 😂 https://github.com/jgraph/drawio/discussions/4623

No, I’ll watch it as soon as i have some time!

I remember seeing this video a few years ago, and I’m really scared about drones technology, miniaturization and AI since… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fa9lVwHHqg

*US reacts, rest of us don’t care

Was more thinking about running games in sandboxes, other than the overhead i could see some games not being happy with that

Linux is built by the community for the community. I think trying to help people move to linux is just in just in linux users blood 😅

I haven’t tried it so i dont actually know what im talking about, but i feel like installing steam through flatpak is asking for trouble.

Interesting, i might give it a try when i finish setting up my new servers, havent been satisfied with other picture solutions, usually feels like they’re doing too much haha. I just want simple and fast, so this might be it.

So at least they are saying owncloud and ocis will still be maintained and keep their apache licenses… Still, acquisition of open source software is always a bit scary.

Since you’re just starting out, I would probably recommend mint. I think it’s the most stable of the “mainstream” distros and you’ll have less frustrations. If you want to have a great experience with managing packages, I think installing and using the nix package manager is the best way to manage packages on any distros (and who knows, maybe in a year or 2 you’ll want to try nixOs!)
