- Comment on Microsoft lost $357 billion in market cap as stock plunged most since 2020 15 hours ago:
Not sticking up for Microsoft, but when you first setup a Windows machine, all those metrics toggled on like advertising and keyboard or handwriting usage, etc, I turn all 6 of those off. One in Windows I now uninstall Copilot and disable stuff like phone link, OneDrive, and pretty much every application from running at startup ( Adobe if needed, etc)
This is just for work, but I can usually get away with lower spec machines by curating what’s allowed to run by default.
- Comment on Linux Gaming Developers Join Forces To Form the Open Gaming Collective 23 hours ago:
Gaming on Linux has already come a long way over recent years, with improvements to Valve’s Proton and more gamers switching to Linux, but the newly-formed Open Gaming Collective (OGC) is aiming to take it even further.
Universal Blue, developer of the gaming-focused Linux distribution Bazzite, announced on Wednesday that its helping to form the OGC with several other groups, which will collaborate on improvements to the Linux gaming ecosystem and “centralize efforts around critical components like kernel patches, input tooling, and essential gaming packages such as gamescope.”
The other founding members of the OGC include Nobara, ChimeraOS, Playtron, Fyra Labs, PikaOS, ShadowBlip, and Asus Linux. Related
I replaced Windows with Linux and everything’s going great I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows
Having a wide range of distros to choose from is one of the best parts of using Linux, but shared efforts around important gaming components should improve the experience across the board, resulting in “better hardware compatibility, fewer duplicated efforts, and a more unified Linux gaming experience.” As Bazzite’s announcement post puts it, “a win for one project becomes a win for everyone.”
It’s worth noting that this will mean some changes to Bazzite, which is switching to the OGC kernel, replacing HHD with InputPlumber as its input framework, and integrating features like RGB and fan control into the Steam UI. Bazzite also added that, “We’ll be sharing patches we’ve made to various Valve packages with the OGC and attempting to upstream everything we can."

Oooh new toy to help?! Ok I’ll check that out and Yunohost too

Yeah, since Christmas, I more it sounds silly, but I’ve been playing a ton of video games with my kids lol. But not like CoD, more like Grounded 2, Gang Beasts, and Stumble Guys lmao
- Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps 1 day ago:
Haha, thanks! It’s probably more problematic being a solo IT guy as it feels like I don’t always have did dedicated time to get projects done. Part of why my lab is overkill is because I want something at work, so I spend a little time at home figuring stuff out, but, you know, family time n all…
Its still fun mostly, but work keeps assuming I must’ve freed up a lot of time in automating or improving stability so I keep being rewarded with more work outside of IT.

Yeah, self promote away lol
- Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps 1 day ago:
Yeah, transferring 80TB took what felt like an eternity. My Plex has a 2.5GbE and my switch is 10GbE but my SFP+ NIC in the storage wasn’t playing well…
- Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps 1 day ago:
That’s true, I’ve done a lot of stuff as testing that I thought would be useful services but then never really got used by me, so I didn’t maintain.
I didn’t take the time to really dive in and learn Docker outside of a few guides, probably why is a struggle…
- Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps 1 day ago:
This. I definitely need to take the time to organize. A few months ago, I setup a new 4U rosewill case w 24 hotswap as bays. Expanded my storage quite a bit, but need to finish moving some services too. I went from a big outdated SMC server to reusing an old gaming mobo since its an i7 but 95w vs 125wx2 lol.
It took a week just to move all my Plex data cuz that Supermicro was only 1GbE.

Dang, how’d you make that transition? Are you a dev or SWE?

That doesn’t sound the least bit fun lol

I will check that out even though, yes is homework lol.
And +1 for the contribution to help a stranger out!

Never heard of that, definitely checking it out!
- Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps 1 day ago:
Once you understand them, I suppose its easier. I’ve got a mix of win10, Linux VMs, RPis, and docker.
Having grown up on Windows, it’s second nature now and I do it for work too. I stated on Linux only around 2010 or so but kept flipping between the2 . anymore, trying to cut the power bill and went RPi but also trying to cut others and so docker is still relatively new in the last few years. Understand that I also do it few and far between at times on projects so is hard to dedicate time to learn enough to be comfortable. It also didn’t help I started on Docker Desktop and apparently everyone hates that and may have been a part of my problem adopting it.
- Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps 1 day ago:
Why did I never think of that?! That would make sense lol. Thank you!
- Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps 1 day ago:
Nextcloud is on my list lol, but I need to run a separate box for it I think vs visualizing. It would be easier/cleaner and more reliable.
- Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps 1 day ago:
Well, I’ll share an example. Choosing between Traccar and OwnTracks. I’ve run a lot of stuff on Raspberry Pis, I like it, but, do I keep setting up new devices just to continue more devices or do I dump some for a Linux desktop and move a lot to containers? But that’s more work lol. Aren’t there different versions of docker, too? I recall fucking a service up one time using the wrong documentation once.
I think part of my problem is I’ve pieced stuff together slowly and it feels like a fragile balance, but at work I’ve got more access to resources… And budget lol
- Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps 1 day ago:
Good point. I think I’ve got so caught up between projects at home and work I need a break from both.
- Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps 1 day ago:
I agree with that 3rd paragraph lol. That’s probably some of my issue at times. As far IT goes, does it not get overwhelming of you had a 9 hour workday just to hear someone at home complain this other thing you run doesn’t work and you have to troubleshoot that now too?
Without going into too much detail, I’m a solo operation guy for about 200 end users. We’re a Win11 and Office shop like most, and I’ve upgraded pretty much every system since my time starting. I’ve utilized some self-host options too, to help in the day to day which is nice as it offloads some work.
It’s just, especially after a long day, to play IT at home can be a bit much. I don’t normally mind, but I think I just know the Windows stuff well enough through and through, so taking on new Docker or self host tools stuff is Apple’s and oranges sometimes. Maybe I’m getting spoiled with all the turn key stuff at work, too.

I never said first, nor only… Just pointing out that we outnumber them, we have the ability to meet force with force, and they’d quickly be discouraged from wanting to go back to work for fear of violence against them.
They need to know we’re not weak, and that is why I think, that they think they can do what they want and get away with it. They’re the wasps and we’re the bees. They’re only going to get away if so much until we have no other choice!

I’m not condoning violence nor is this a call to action, god forbid(got banned from reddit for “violence” against AI by the modbot lmao), but it’d be a darn shame- a tragedy rather- if someone stood up to ICE with the same force they’ve been using.
This is why the 2nd amendment exists. This right here. I bet most those plate carriers aren’t even stuffed with plates with all the new agents wearing them because there’d be a shortage. Either way, we outnumber all those agents, and all it takes is meeting force with force! I’m also pretty sure all video evidence would be quickly deleted by bystanders lol.
Again, a real shame… But it’s coming sooner rather than later.
