mailcow-dockerized is great, really makes email setup so much easier.
Do you ever send mails to Gmail and Office365? Do you get through the spam filter without PTR record?

I mean, there is end game in that you can go out on missions to collect the parts you need. It just gets pretty grindy and boring without any story missions to do and nothing left to explore.

Cool, I really enjoyed the base game but thought the end game was lacking. Never got to fully upgrade my car so hopefully the DLC will change that.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 1 week ago:
the few extra masks the game gives you only really help if you can handle the difficulty but need mistake tolerance
Increasing mistake tolerance already increases accessibility, even if you still have to manage a tough platformer part.
Of course the options given are just examples to get it done quickly. Accessibility options can be a a lot more nuanced, even going as far as altering level structures to provide pathways for players that can’t platform.
The point of my post was that for all I care the difficulty options can go all the way to invincibility, one hitting every boss and skipping every platformer segment. It does not reduce my enjoyment of these games if other people can play the game in a way they want to.

Not every disability is magically cured by a controller.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 1 week ago:
The thing is, there is no reason not to add accessibility settings.
Hollow Knight and Silksong are beautiful games with an intriguing world, great characters and lots of areas to explore. There’s no reason to gatekeep games like these from people that just can’t beat them because they are too hard.
Just add a simple accessibility menu where you can scale health, damage and loot drops. It’s almost no work to implement, players can still try the regular difficulty and turn it down when it’s too much and speedrunners can make their lifes more difficult. Everyone wins.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 1 week ago:
If you are playing on Steam, try the native version but force Steam Input to enabled.
- Comment on Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that 1 week ago:
If your use case is only desktop and phone, KDE Connect can do it independently from your music service. Works in both directions as well.
- Comment on Framework unveils a second-generation Framework Laptop 16 with a swappable Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU, an industry first, shipping in November 2025 2 weeks ago:
Besides what was mentioned below, it’s not about making competitive products but about Nvidia being an absolute asshole since the 2000s and they got even worse ever since the crypto and AI craze started. AMD and Nvidia are both corporations but they are not even playing the same game when it comes to being anti-competitive.
There’s a reason why Wikipedia has a controversies section on Nvidia: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia#Controversies
That list is far from exhaustive. There’s so much more about Nvidia that you should remember vividly if you were a PC gamer in the 2000s and 2010s with an AMD GPU, like:
- When they pushed developers to use an unecessary amount of tesselation because they knew tesselation performed worse on AMD
- When they pushed their Gameworks framework which heavily gimped AMD GPUs
- When they pushed their PhysX framework which automatically offloaded to CPU on AMD GPUs
- When they disabled their GPUs in their driver when they detected an AMD GPU is also present in the system
- When they were cheating in benchmarks by adding optimizations specific to those benchmarks
- When they shipped an incomplete Vulkan implementation but claimed they are compliant
Nvidia has been gimping gaming performance and visuals since forever for both AMD GPUs and even their own customers and we haven’t even gotten to DLSS and raytracing yet.
I refuse to buy anything Nvidia until they stop abusing their market position at every chance they get.
- Comment on What do you use for music library streaming? 3 weeks ago:
I use Jellyfin but I download all my songs from Tidal, Qobuz or Deezer and tag them automatically right then and there in a clean format so Jellyfin does not have to guess at all.
I also have some automatic checks in place to convert incorrect metadata to a proper format. Like moving artists from the title
(feat. Somebody else)to the artists tagSomebody; Somebody elseand a bunch more.Together with Finamp on desktop and mobile everything is pretty much working as expected.

Do you play solo? I tried twice in coop but after some time my coop partners always lose interest.
Thought about trying to do it solo but not sure if it’s as fun alone.

I’m running this on a 7900 XTX with 32GB RAM. No issues so far. According to their instructions, Nvidia is a little bit more involved but it should perform the same on consumer or pro GPUs.
I assume decause it’s using Docker, the more RAM the better.
Docker has pretty much no overhead, so you only need enough RAM to run the games/sessions you want to run in addition to your regular desktop.
- Comment on Anyone tried cloud gaming? 4 weeks ago:
They don’t do the same thing: Sunshine is intended to stream a single physical desktop.
Games on Whales runs headlessly and creates virtual desktops for each session in a Docker environment.
For example, you can create an instance that runs at 800p so you can stream to your Steam Deck at its native resolution. You can even still use your desktop normally since the streams run in the background.
Both of them support connection via Moonlight.

They are some of my favorite shooters, so definitely give them a go. 2016 and Eternal also go on sale quite frequently for a few bucks.
They play quite differently by the way. So in case you don’t like one, try the other.

I have sinned and got Doom: The Dark Ages for 40 bucks so I can rip & tear a little bit.
Did not like the parry mechanic at first but it’s starting to grow on me. Also, can’t really recommend the game if you don’t have a high end PC.

If it’s for C#, I’m doing pretty well with VSCode/VSCodium on Linux.
WPF and Forms does not work but I also have a Rider license from work which I use occasionally to maintain one of our old WPF applications, which we converted to Avalonia XPF. It works great and we now also have a Mac and Linux version.

Anyone wanna yell at me for being an idiot and doing everything wrong?
Not yell, but: Jellyfin is dropping HTTPS support with a future update so you might want to read up on reverse proxies before then.
Additionally, you might want to check if Shodan has your Jellyfin instance listed: www.shodan.io

I use Jellyfin with Finamp on Android/PC and the Jellyfin plugin for Kodi on my HTPC.
The Jellyfin plugin does movies/shows too and not just music but it handles music playback as well. For a dedicated music box I’m not sure if I would use Kodi for it.
- Comment on The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice 2 months ago:
The first paragraphs on endof10.org tell you why you should install Linux followed by telling you how to get in touch with someone who can explain things to you and even install it for you. Most of them do it free of charge. I’m not sure how you can improve on that.
