  For people living with others it might not be a choice though. The lights not working for a day the way they normally do is all it takes for someone to lose all faith in automation. It’s easier when you plan for a specific time and day to update things.

  I suppose that’s true. The country is jot well liked in Latin america either due to all the meddling they’ve done (which was not properly covered in US history classes).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA Close To Sale That Would Take The Company Private⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The US doesn’t chop up journalists with a saw just yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I get that, but the services listed by the other comment run just fine in docker with less hassle by throwing in some bind mounts.

  The 4 VMs dedicated dockge instances is exactly the kind of thing I had in mind for people that want to avoid something that sounds more like work than a hobby when starting out. Building the knowledge takes time and each product introduced reduces the likelihood of it being completed anytime soon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would give docker compose a try instead. I found Proxmox to be too much, when a simple yaml file (that can be checked into a repo) can do the job.

  Pay attention to when people say things can be improved (secrets/passwords, rootless/podman, backups), etc. And come back to them later.

  Just don’t expose things to the internet until you understand the risks and don’t check in secrets to a public git repo and go from there. It is a lot more manageable and feels like a hobby vs feeling like I’m still at work trying to get high availability, concurrency and all this other stuff that does not matter for a home setup.

  Tends to go that way when the take is so dumb and disconnected from reality. Might as well have shown dick pics with diamond encrusted micro transaction “rewards”.

  918k now. Not European, but you guys give me hope for the future :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Docker Backup Stratagy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  After getting a NAS to replace my raspberry pi 4 as a home server, I literally just SCPd the bind mounts and docker compose folder, adjusted a few env variables (and found out of a few I needed to add for things like the uid/guid the NAS used as default for the media user I created) and it took maybe 30 minutes total to be back and running. Highly agree with you from experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They are also way too small in terms of storage given that they don’t support external cards (Apple is similar). Google definitely wants buyers to also buy their subscription storage service.

  I’m on an XR right now and it feels older, but still very much usable. I wish companies offered options to only get security patches instead of having to buy new phones every few years, that’s the 1 thing I hope Google keeps around and doesn’t walk back in the future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG summer sale is live⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As a recent refugee from W10, I agree. Not shitting on Lutris since it did kind of worked, so it might have been a matter of playing with some settings, but heroic just worked.

  Lutris on a fresh bazzite install: install GOG launcher and sign in. Crappy launcher to install the game (same as windows). Install Witcher 3, start playing. Find out the installer never reported success. Next time it launches it throws an error because the game was not installed. Default is to not cache the installer files. Multi-GB download starts again.

  Heroic on the same setup (after the above): sign in to GOG. Get black and white icons for all games in the platform. Double click or right click (can’t remember which) to install. Game installs and the icon is in color now. Double click, it starts and works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur’s Gate 4 may happen eventually, but not with Larian Studios⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s fair, but as someone that has not played the game, you need to provide some specifics otherwise it just gets lost within a lot of praise for the game (which I’m not sure I will like).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honda successfully launched and landed its own reusable rocket⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The impressive part is that they are also known for being reliable, there are the occasional issues, but overall very trustworthy products.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the real difference between a shell script and Ansible (and which should I use)?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Great summary “a lot of common error checking has gone into it. It can be told what you want without specifics that would only potentially be applicable to 1 system type.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LEGO Party! Official Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand that’s the purpose of a party game, but the mini games I saw were literally chose a thing and it will explode or it will not, no fun involved after you experience it once. Not even like a blue shell that still needs you to move forward.

  Also there was a game that made you chose a 1 or 2 and once you got to a few players, it was impossible to win regardless if you got left with the option before the bee hive. At least make the dice spin faster when less players are around to make it feel random but fair (even if it isn’t).

  There is a point where things move from fun and chaotic to completely random and less replayable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LEGO Party! Official Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A chance to be a much better Mario party if there is less RNG.

  Saw a stream of some people playing Mario party superstars from a year ago and it looked very unfair/RNG based to the point of being boring.

  Right, I looked into that website earlier in the year u think. Even for “high demand” jobs in the US like tech, it’s not easy to get into Canada.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Come to say thank you. Time to move from proprietary to Open Source⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Out of curiosity as an owner of a QNAP NAS, how did it go out? Any signs it was in its last legs? Now that I’ve used one, the form factor is the only thing better than most options out there when I got it.

  Nowadays all QNAP, Sinology and other NAS vendors supposedly offer a lot of extra value with their cloud options, but I find them a sure way to get hacked based on the average company’s investment in security (I work in IT, it is a sad affair sometimes) combined with all the ransomware specifically targeting them due to old packages they rely on = I’ll build my next system from the ground up, even if the initial cost is higher and the result is uglier.

  They did in 2020, no Biden or Kamala cult shit compared to what we see from the other party in 2016 and 2024 (and leading up to and between really).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Pajama Sam Made Me A Leftist | Political Breakdown Of A 90s Videogame⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The left isn’t putting “I did that stickers” into all the stupid shit that’s more expensive now after a few months of a new presidency or wearing Biden/Kamala shirts as their identity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Personal opinion: Because some food should not be that cheap. It’s part of the reason we are so fat in the US (plus car centric cities). Subsidies keep some things like corn artificially low and they end up being hammered in into every product (biodiesel, sweeteners, animal feed, etc.). With that setup, companies have learned to use those subsidies and other workarounds and loopholes to maximize profit at the expense of the product being output and we fall for it every time .

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grand Theft Auto 6 release date has been announced, but the game has been delayed to 2026 | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is game companies don’t make games for gamers, they make games for investors. Hoarding IPs and patents is what they do.

  Forgot the top 5/6/10/25 things you didn’t know about game XYZ pulled directly from some YouTube video. Also applies to Tech news websites.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 284 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of The Legend of Zelda’s Satori/Lord of the Mountain. Are they based on the same Japanese lore or reference perhaps?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Nintendo games were affordable⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  GameCube games MSRP was 49.99. Adjusted for inflation it is $79.30. The reason things feel so expensive is because you get half cooked broken DLC ridden games as the norm and a large portion of income goes toward housing, transportation (cars specifically) and education.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Nothing is Exposed, Am I Safe?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to mention that some providers offer APIs to provide certificates without opening port(s) 80/443. This allows using nice domain names with valid SSL over the internal network too. Want to migrate a server or service? Just change the IP associated with the domain on the internal DNS. Makes migrating and upgrading a lot easier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ex-PlayStation exec argues 'only the dog can hear' differences between consoles and gaming PCs: 'They're all quite similar'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly think some console games look pretty good and perform well. It’s hard to have something optimized when the hardware is so diverse. Similar to iPhone vs android. With that said, PC games without some ass backwards “copy protection” and “anti-cheat” will always be excluded from my lists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  At least now you can rely back with “can you also provide feedback for #1 & #3?”

  Repeat until all items are cleared. Not perfect, but at least you don’t have to waste time rewording a follow-up email.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA: You can still play Wii and DS games online, even on emulators.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hated event Pokémon with a passion growing up. I bought my game boy on the US, but I would live half of the year in a country neglected by Nintendo, once back on the states for the working season (my parents) you could only get them by traveling somewhere stupid like New York (I lived in the other coast). Even when they started using mall wifi on game stores as events I still always associated it with a life I would never have and didn’t even bother as I could never legitimately complete a Pokédex legitimately so why try to start now. I can see how that would work in Japan perhaps, but maybe the country kids felt left out as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con may have the same stick drift problem as original Switch⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They initially also only did it in places that consumer protection laws would force them to. Some markets (at least initially) didn’t get the same benefit.
