  • It's really easy, just install steam or lutris. However, some games might have their own specific issues when running under proton/wine under specific hardware configuration. If this is what happened to you, I'm afraid there might not be an easy way outside of putting some elbow grease to start tinkering with the config, or ask for help in linux gaming community.

  • Aye. Docker on linux doesn't involve any virtualization layer. What should the direct the installation setup be called? Custom setup?

  • I'm currently using nextcloud:26-apache from here because some nextcloud apps I use is not compatible with v27 and v28 yet. The apache version is actually less hassle to use because nextcloud can generate .htaccess configuration dynamically by itself, unlike php-fpm version where you have to maintain your own nginx configuration. The php-fpm version is supposedly faster and scale better though, but chance that you won't see that benefits unless your server handles a large amount of traffics.

  • People usually come here looking for advice on how to replace their dockerized nextcloud setup with a bare-metal setup. Now you came along presenting a solution to do the reverse! Bravo!

    What do you guys think about putting the different components (webserver, php, redis, etc.) in separate containers like this, as compared to all in one?

    I actually has a similar setup, but with nextcloud apache container instead of php-fpm, and in rke2 instead of docker compose.

  • I think the primary motivation for this change is to keep bluetooth active on significant portion of android users so google's upcoming "find my" network can take off. They don't want people to permanently turn off bluetooth from the drawer because there is a chance that they forgot about it and won't turn it on again, which is bad for their upcoming network. Adding popups to inform the users will increase the chance of users deciding to permanently deactivating bluetooth.

  • There are self-hosted runtime such as workerd that allows you to run your own stateless lambda-like platform. It's kinda losing steam these days though, and everyone seems to be pushing self-hosted kubernetes as the best way to get off the cloud these days.

  • You still have internet subscription, right? Next: run your own ISP

  • Why can't we discuss some topics without resorting to personal attack? If you disagree with something, you can always refute it without being a dick.

  • These days there are many solutions to deploy kubernetes on a fleet of bare-metal servers, so if you use kubernetes, the option to take everything in house again is available. Distributed storage are the toughest one to setup in house but there are many mature solutions that integrate with kubernetes well these days.

  • The IT managers got tired of being blamed for all server outages and want to shift some of those responsibilities. Now when there's an outage, they can say "it's not us, it's AWS because they suspend our account for non-payment".

  • My bad for exaggerating. Yes, you can permanently disable bluetooth on iphone, but iphone users are less likely to do so compared to android users. This is by design because apple needs the majority of users to have their bluetooth turned on for their find my network. This made bluetooth-based security issue more impactful in apple ecosystem than in android.

    Now that Google is planning to do the same in android, I'm worried that it'll be even worse than in apple ecosystem simply because most android phones have much shorter support period. This means future bluetooth vulnerabilities might remain unpatched in some phones and those phones will be more likely to have bluetooth turned on.

  • Yes, I didn't address the point made, just want to mention that people are increasingly avoiding hardware raid these days.

  • What if the answer is there but google refused to include it in your search results until you saw enough ads?

  • And what about the RAID controller itself? Does it not add complexity and another point of failure to the whole system?

    This is why people prefers software raid these days instead of hardware raid.

  • Unlike hdd, I never experienced graceful disk failures on ssd. Instead, they just randomly decided to die at the most inconvenient time. Raid 1 saved my hide a couple times now from those ssd failures.

  • No one bully me at school because my mom was a teacher in my elementary school, my dad was a teacher in my middle school, and my aunt was a teacher in my high school. I was literally bullet proof. The teachers gave me a hard time if I was slacking though and reported it to my parents. Couldn't even roll up my sleeves without my parents found out.

  • Wtf?! The boycott (sort of) works this time?!

  • I suspect most of kagi's subscription money actually went to google's pocket. Google charges a lot of money to access their search api, about $5/1000 queries.

  • Iirc biplanes were still used in ww2. Some of the newer ones also have wooden elements, such as the famous "wooden wonder" mosquito.

  • This is why you should build a package when compiling from source instead of doing make install directly. Packages can easily unistalled or upgraded.
