• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forced E-Waste PCs And The Case Of Windows 11’s Trusted Platform⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  As another person mentioned Proton is Linux’s compatibility layer for Windows applications, from my understanding it installs necessary .NET frameworks and other dependencies into a fake C:\ drive an then utilizes that fake C:\ to trick the game into thinking it’s running Windows.

  Every windows applications I put through Proton has not once failed to open. Now the claims that Anti-Cheat for games isn’t supported is purely false, most popular anti cheat’s do support Linux however, it’s entirely up to the publisher to tick the checkbox to allow Linux users to play.

  Battle eye, Punk Buster, Easy Anti-Cheat all support Linux natively.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to reverse proxy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Reverse proxying was tricky for me, I started with Nginx Proxy Manager and it started out fine, was able to reverse proxy my services in the staging phase however, once I tried to get production SSL/TLS certificates it kept running into errors (this was a while ago I can’t remember exactly) so that pushed me to SWAG and swag worked great! Reverse proxying was straight forward, SSL/TLS certificates worked well however, overall it felt slow, so now I’m using Traefik and so far have no complaints.

  It’s honestly whatever works for you and what you prefer having.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need help with searxng docker compose⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree, hence why I left the note at the bottom of that comment, yes it does encourage bad practices but, if all OP cares about is that it works then it should be fine.

  In my other comment I instructed OP to move the volume to their users home directory so they don’t run into permission issues like this again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need help with searxng docker compose⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Taking a look at your docker-compose.yml I see this volume mount:

  volumes: 
  - /volume1/SN/Docker/searxng-stack/searxng:/etc/searxng:rw
  

  Whereas /volume1/SN/Docker/searxng-stack/searxng is the directory on your system docker is attempting to use to store the files inside the container from /etc/searxng.

  Example of a volume mount that’ll likely work better for you;

  volumes:
  - ~/docker/config/searxng:/etc/searxng
  

  The tilde (~) acts as your current users home directory (not root) where docker volumes should be stored.

  Apologies for the poor formatting, typing this on mobile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need help with searxng docker compose⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  have you checked the directory & file permissions with ls -la /Your/SearXNG/WorkingDir ?

  The error is telling you that the container does not have permission to that directory/file, you can essentially bypass this with sudo chmod 777 /Your/SearXNG/WorkingDir/* and sudo chown 1000:1000 Your/SearXNG/WorkingDir/*

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Says iPhone Adoption Of RCS Has Led Users To Share 'More Than A Billion' Messages Daily, Yet SMS/MMS Still Reign Supreme In The U.S.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Apple left this little note in their article;

  *Note: To use read receipts, you and your recipient must turn on iMessage.

  Which leads to believe the toggle is for iMessage only.

  as I do not get read receipts from some people with iOS and some I do.

  This is what I’ve heard from my Android homies as well, it’s very much a hit or miss it seems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Says iPhone Adoption Of RCS Has Led Users To Share 'More Than A Billion' Messages Daily, Yet SMS/MMS Still Reign Supreme In The U.S.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  TIL google developed the RCS protocol.

  Another reason for me to leave it off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Says iPhone Adoption Of RCS Has Led Users To Share 'More Than A Billion' Messages Daily, Yet SMS/MMS Still Reign Supreme In The U.S.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re referring to iOS devices, the Read Receipts toggle on iOS is for iMessage not RCS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Come to say thank you. Time to move from proprietary to Open Source⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Late to the party but I decided to pickup a 13th gen ASUS NUC with an i7 over a prebuilt NAS, bought a couple external hard-disk bays setup Proxmox running a headless Debian 12 VM however, this was a mistake on my part because the Debian 12 Linux kernel is pretty far out of date and does not support the CPU properly.

  While I enjoyed Gears of War Ultimate Edition they really should’ve remastered 2,3 and Judgement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Beauty Of Having A Pi-hole · Den Delimarsky⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve a single Pihole instance running on a RPi 4 and have experienced not a single instance of any of the 3 probs you mention. Except, of course, the very few minutes it takes for a reboot which I can schedule and am aware when it’s happening…

  Yeah, I believe it can vary depending on how you host it.

  In my experience whenever I brought down the PiHole instance (Docker Compose) I would lose all internet access, which is expected since I’m essentially taking away my devices one and only library, so to mitigate this I spun up PiHole on another device and set that as my secondary (backup) DNS resolver.

  This way I can take a container down, update it and all without losing resolution to the internet.

  x64 Kernel headers:

  sudo apt install linux-headers-amd64
  

  2 - Debian 12 Installation)

  Disable secure boot & add ‘Contrib’ repository to sources list:

  sudo deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
  

  Install Nvidia driver

  sudo apt install nvidia-driver firmware-misc-nonfree
  

  Restart system.
