That gives me the idea of windows server installed on bare metal configured as a lightweight game runner. (much like a linux distro with minimal wm)

I’ve seen people using slightly modified windows server as an unbloated gaming OS but I’m not sure if running a custom minimal GUI on windows server is possible. You seem knowledgeable on the subject, with enough effort, is it possible?

But Windows Server has GUI. Although a server having GUI (not webui, desktop) is kinda stupid

As the rule of thumb with FOSS projects, it has a horrible name

Time to rename it to one of the very creative FOSS project names

• yet another something (YAS)
• something is not other thing (SINOT)
• OpenSomething, FreeSomething, LibreSomething
• Something<framework name>
• Periodic table
• Somethingify (this one is new)

Kudos to devs though. This is awesome

I swear this always happens to intelligent people when they age

Me and my best friend are both gifted kids. Our families are all very smart people and so his mom and dad but for some reason, his mom is a really conservative conspiracy theorist (chemtrails, bill gates and the jews stuff) and his dad has weird spiritualist beliefs and rituals (cult inspired from buddism I think? I’m not sure) even though such stuff is forbidden under islam

Recently his mom randomly showed us a video where “they” are “vaccinating the fish”. I was going to burst into laughter if I didn’t hold myself so hard. My bestie is a progressive leftist, he believes in science, and he has a very materialist point of view. He says it’s sometimes embarrassing for him when his family members do such thing in public

And the weirdest part is these are not caused by cognitive decline due to age. They still do understand everything pretty good and they can still process new information in a much more efficient manner than “average” people

My main idea about it is that skepticism can sometimes be a curse for boomers who did not have a source of knowledge to base their skeptic ideas on, and they are just not used to accuiring reliable knowledge from the web. Reliable knowledge often being in English and majority of boomers in my country not knowing English also contributes to that

That’s what I’ve been saying all the time when my brother says monopoly sucks when you don’t win. It’s literally designed to make you suffer

Just like drug addicts, these people are addicted to dopamine and they will do anything to get it even if it makes everyone else uncomfortable

I think TikTok format video players are straight up drugs. It’s a real physical addiction which even has withdrawal symptoms

They are so appealing, I do avoid them but it’s just sad to watch everyone else become a victim of those

Dmitry is a legend. Just look at the stuff on his website.

Don’t get me wrong, I like this but why am I feeling like this would be a consistency nightmare for GTK and QT apps

ChatGPT keeps mixing up software versions which is understandable considering the similarities between versions and the way gen AI works

I asked for help on GTK 4 once and responses were a mix of GTK 4 and 3 code. Some of them even contained function names which didn’t exist in any version of GTK

I made a 100GB alt account and uploaded 25GB of files through an encrypted mount. We’ll see what happens when I cancel it tomorrow

Yup I know I am the product. That’s why we are encrypting everything with AES256 before upload using rclone’s crypt remote

I just don’t trust any cloud provider tbh. Performance hit from AES256 is very insignificant and it provides solid privacy regardless of provider. Might as well get the cheap one

Possibility of Google keeping API access up after cancellation is why I asked this question. To learn what happens when to rclone Google drive mount after an expiration

Well, my VPS is used mainly by my friends for Minecraft servers, collaboration, file sharing, streaming and pretty much everything cloud related

Most of them live in Istanbul and my VPS provider is one of the most reliable and affordable providers located in Istanbul.

Unfortunately, Hertzner doesn’t work for me because their prices are astronomical for me compared to Google’s regional pricing for Turkey (40TL/mo = 1.1USD/mo for 2TB)

I just wanna exploit the service as much as possible since I just don’t rely on them. Electricity prices are too high for homelab but maybe I could set up a solar powered server if I save a little (I’m a student, I don’t have much money, but I like the hobby)

I’ll probably try accessing cancelled drive account with rclone and find out if it’s possible

now im really curious about that xxx app…

It is dockerized but that doesn’t really matter since the DB which is probably one of the most private things on your server is also stored in the container. So a hacker who got into the container can steal your timelinize DB

Your best bet is running this LAN-only but that kind of destroys the whole point of it. This thing should never be connected to the internet

Did you read the article I linked? They use RAID to create a virtual disk (similar to a loop device in this context)

Virt manager for qemu. I use docker and distrobox for Linux distros

I recently managed to use my windows partition (for dual boot) as a disk for a qemu. I don’t use it but really cool trick anyways. Tutorial here

Also it’s not very healthy for windows since it is not designed for constant hardware changes. But idc all my apps are installed on D: so I can just reinstall it without thinking about it much

The beauty of Unix philosophy

A program does one thing, and it does it well
