"We believe in an open internet... as long as you use these specific services."

This really sucks. So we're looking at a future where search engines are like streaming services now. "Hmmm now which search engine was on?"

Just over a year ago I bought a 5950x on sale and with the help of some spare parts, and some great second hand deals I put together a Proxmox machine and began self hosting some services. 1 year later I have 4 Proxmox nodes; a 5900x system in the Rosewill rackmount case and 2 Beelink mini pc's.

I recently bought the Startech rack from a small business that no longer needed it. It came with 3 shelves, 2 APC rack-mount UPS's, one of which had brand new batteries, an HP Proliant DL6360 Gen 8 (not pictured, haven't made use of it) and a QNAP rack-mount something or other with 5 x 2TB drives in it. All for less than the price of the rack brand new.

Throw in a couple raspberry pi's, one that's running PiKVM hooked up to a 4 input HDMI switch, and one I use as my bastion host / jumpbox, and you got yourself a homelab!

Well the CEO just had a massive panic attack yesterday and said there's no way we're going to finish this major project in time and the company is now ruined. The company is only one person. It's me.

I always do this too. You think I'm going to finish my meal with 2 bites of chicken in a row?! No chance. Gotta be a clean finish with a bite of salad, bite of rice, bite of chicken.

I LOVE the idea of Lemmy and the decentralized web and people coming together to forge our own way. But there's a far too high ratio of elitism, smugness, arrogance and belittlement to people that just want to discuss the things we enjoy. It is just really unfortunate. I don't engage very much, or at all really so I understand part of that is on me, but every discussion I find I'd like to chime in on is already polluted by assholes. It's just disheartening.

Does anyone have a quick ELI5 for the AMD P-state or a link to some good info around it? Seems people are excited about and I've been out of the news cycle loop lately.

I miss the early days of android. When the next phone, or next software release was game changing. Now all we have to get excited about is 200mAh spec bumps and the inclusion of new types of data that will be harvested from us.

I'm running KDE Plasma, with the latest Firefox and have the titlebar turned off in the customize settings. When I set Firefox to use the "System theme - auto" it correctly uses my window decorations from the GTK theme I set in KDE's settings (top). Any Firefox theme I apply changes the window decorations to the below pic. Is there a way I can edit a theme to respect my system defined window decorations, or else I guess I'm looking for how edit the theme itself so I can define what decorations to use manually.

When it comes to copies, 1 is none, 2 is one, and 3 is a backup!

This is really great! Tried it out and it's already earned the coveted "pin" on the taskbar. Thank you for your work on this.

KDE has some built in tiling functions now. No where near what the tiling WM's are but you're able to define a layout and snap them into place.

Because you just might happen to be Mr. Naughty Dog himself browsing Lemmy and thinking "wow that's the kind of talent I need on my team!"

Isn't it that he wanted model E but that's the one Ford wouldn't allow? Because there is a Tesla model X. He wanted to spell SEXY but instead he now has S3XY.

I've been trying to convert to linux since the mid-2000's. Ubuntu and derivatives, fedora, and SUSE. Gaming and my lack on knowledge always brought me back to Windows.

In 2018 I tried Manjaro and loved it. But I broke it without the knowledge to fix it multiple times. The Arch BTW memes were strong at the time so I took the plunge and studied the wiki, and documented my own installation process and really learned a lot in the process. Proton was released and suddenly gaming got WAY better. I didn't remove my windows install completely until 2022 but Arch has been my home on my main machine.

I have since put together a proxmox cluster and run many distros for various things but that's a whole other rabbit hole!
