That would suck if so since I obviously utilize it heavily but this doesn’t seem to be the case? Latest release was just a month ago and their github repo is active.

Jellyfin/Plex like many have mentioned.

I personally like Syncthing for petty much everything else. For general file syncing of course. But also with Joplin pointed to a synced directory for notes. With keepass as a password vault. With synced config directories for some apps across devices like newsboat for RSS, and neomutt for email. I also used to use it with rtorrent via a watch directory, though I currently am using a seedbox for that purpose.

VPN (openvpn/wireguard) is a good idea if you want to access your services outside your local network, without exposing them all globally.

An hour old post about Windows on the Fediverse and no one has said use Linux?

Use Linux.

Almost everything on my store page is AAA or liveservice trash.

Very little on my Steam page is. This is just one data point but still it suggests their suggestion algorithm somewhat works for this.

Just an observation on that specific thing not a disagreement with the problem. Live service is trash and needs to go away if it’s not an exclusively multiplayer game.

I’m just throwing shade for fun.

Feels like the right choice for a shitposting community!

Are ps5’s not useful?

I haven’t bothered with the last generation of consoles, but I haven’t heard anything bad about them.

But maybe my “haven’t bothered” comment is a common sentiment and the answer to my own question?

I’ve never had any trouble running adobe software on Linux.

I’ve also never tried, but still the statement is technically correct.

That’s a new metaphor for me. I like it! And I want some chips now. Either the British or American kind.

Give up on nvidia, IMO.

I feel like most everyone* who cares about distros likes Debian. It may not be the right distro for your use case, but you’re glad it’s around.

* I’m sure even Debian has it’s haters. But I think it’s a minority.

It depends on the implementation.

If there’s no voice chat, text based chat participation is considered optional, and the in-game community isn’t toxic, then I might get chatty.

They can be slow to adopt changes. I think the Mozilla foundation getting more funding, staffing, and refocusing on their browser would be the better solution.

While Chromium is an open source project, it is still developed and maintained by Google. For something as important as a web browser, I think it’s imperative that there’s an option outside of their control.

That’d certainly be a good feature, but it feels to me like it’s a fairly niche need. And as per that post, it’s also a big technical effort. I can see why there isn’t anything in the way of development updates.

That is me being a bit of an apologist for Firefox though. If you consider Firefox unusable because of that, then that’s a pretty valid frustration.

Still, I’d encourage you to try and find a way to make it work for you because Chrome is evil.

I and anyone I’ve heard say the word says it the same as the English pronunciation in this random video I found searching for how to pronounce it. For whatever that small sample size is worth.

I use rsync for this purpose and the only notable bottleneck is my download speed, fwiw.

My first thought when seeing but before reading is “OP should replace the screen”. But I can respect you wanting to keep it original.

Great work, looks nice!

Can confirm.

It doesn’t copy data, no. Symlink is short for symbolic link. So it’s a pointer to another location. But it might be useful for you. Taking a guess at your goal, here’s a relevant example.

Say you moved all of your emulation stuff stored under /media/largehdd/retroarch. You could then symlink that directory to ~/.config/retroarch like so:

ln -s /media/largehdd/retroarch ~/.config/retroarch

That data is still stored on the large drive but will now also show under that symlinked directory.

I use file syncing (Syncthing) and symlinks to keep configs for some apps synced between devices. I don’t for Firefox, but it might work.

Could I maintain the same OS install for the life of a device? Sure. Can I resist disro hopping? Nope!

I made it, I think, 3 years on a Fedora install once.
