Twm, I’ll extend it as needed.

Crawling with 3600 threads!

I can’t do much to help but I can certainly donate processor cycles!

I wish Fedora worked for me, something about it just doesn’t run right on my lappy and I like to have the same distro on all my machines so it’s a nogo across the board for me.

I like Fedora, it’s nice, it just absolutely won’t play nice with my macbook and I’m not gonna get a new laptop just for better Fedora support when this 14 year old hunk’o’junk still works perfectly with mint.

Rolling release/bleeding edge means security updates roll out fast.

I’ve got a blank macbook air at home waiting for a project.

I’ve never undergone a project like this without cheating by using bedrock linux as an intermediary then “Unbedrocking” my install (officially impossible, unofficially insane) with another PM as my default to convert from debian to arch years ago.

This is gonna be fun, or hellish, idk I’ll find out.

My game changer was circa 2014 when I broke something and got dropped to a basic shell and for the first time instead of panicking and immediately reinstalling I thought for a moment about what I had just done to break it, and undid the change manually. Wouldn’t you know it booted right up like normal.

The lesson here: if it broke, you probably broke it, and if you know how you broke it, you know how to fix it.

I use mint on my daily-driver/gaming-rig/mediaserver. I’ve been a Linux user for 20 years, eventually you just want a normal distro with sane defaults. Mint is wonderful.

Stevchard Jollman is making me really uncomfortable.

It’s because men, as you are demonstrating perfectly, are really good at being toxic without realizing it. Many women avoid male content crestirs for this reason.

Jellyfin server!!

You’ll eventually want more storage so LVM is the way to go for making your “drive” easily extendable.

I use my (very similar, just AMD and with a dGPU) for my Jellyfin server and to selfhost some AI models for experimentation, and I’m working on rolling out matrix synapse because selfhosting

I’ve run into an issue lately where nearly everything I torrent is from IA, who has 2 webseeds. I can sit there seeding for weeks and still be at a 0.0 ratio

“Overdoing it” doesn’t exist when you understand what it can accomplish. Bedrock Linux for example is based on symlink abuse from what I understand

Like 3 weeks ago on my (testing) server I accidentally DD’d a Linux ISO to the first drive in my storage array (I had some kind of jank manual “LVM” bullshit I set up with odd mountpoints to act as a NAS, do not recommend), no Timeshift, no Btrfs snapshot. It gave me the kick in the pants I needed to stop trying to use a macbook air with 6 external hard drives as a server though. Also gave me the kick in the pants I needed to stop using volatile naming conventions in my fstab.

I never liked debian or it’s derivatives, but since moving to Selfhosting most of my services and needing sane defaults on my server (I’m a noob with server stuff) I’ve circled back to LMDE after 20 years of using primarily bleeding edge and DIY distros.

I like it, it’s nice that it’s set and forget and doesn’t need constant attention like my bleeding edge stuff always did.

Depends on the game, but also the context.

Maybe this has changed since I’ve upgraded my gaming specs but I used to average 14 FPS on Kerbal Space Program and had a great time with it, docking is a nightmare at that frame rate but otherwise it’s more than playable.

Back in my poverty gaming days I 100%-ed a pirated The Simpsons Hit and Run with potato graphics at slide show speeds, I’m talking like multiple seconds per frame with around 80% frame droppage.

Nowadays I just care that it looks decent and runs smoothly for the games I play, which is mostly Civilization and Stellaris

Sigh 😮‍💨

Time to spin up a selfhosted URL shortener

Oh my bad I’m a silly

Looks to have the same features, Heliboard appears to use the Swype library from SwiftKey which is a close source blob, use that info how you will.
