Make sure you get a reputable VPN to avoid issues with any “questionably acquired” content.

Capacitors replacing batteries like this, similar to nuclear fusion power, is always only X years away.

Because many people are not smart. If they buy a 65w charger and see only 60w being pulled they’ll complain that either the charger or phone is defective and want a refund.

I would like to see it as an option to enable, at the moment though I just have a few cables that measure/display this for me. It’s a useful basic troubleshooting tool with laptops and phones. If you plug them in and dont see any current or only 0.1w, you know there’s a problem with the device getting power.

While shit is a renewable resource, only so much shit can exist at any one time.

Shitpost mods need to walk a fine line of laxitives, costives, gas station sushi, big mac meals, and dilators. Sometimes they get it wrong.

Process sugar (diabeetus)

It does not whip the llamas ass.

Games need to live closer to the bleeding edge than a lot of other software.

Also, for wine/proton, and the other customisations built into the deck, it makes sense to pick a starting point that is more built for customisation. By that I mean there was probably less things they needed to add or remove at the start.

As mentioned, it’s also likely there was personal bias internally. But even that can be a valid reason as they need to be familiar/comfortable with the starting distro.

Not saying that Debian cannot do it, but doing it this way probably made valve’s employees lives easier.

CHANGE HIM!

FEED HIM!

SWADDLE HIM!

CHANGE HIM AGAIN!

AND AGAIN!

HOW DOES SUCH A SMALL BEING MAKE SO MUCH POOP?!

1. It runs in browsers
2. If you hate your co-workers, then they will also feel your pain.

All hot (all the time)

Nothing, those are just links to those websites.

Losing things is one of the risks of any setup. With paid for services you are putting trust that the provider has put in place methods to prevent downtime/data loss. Self-hosting means the onus is on you. Make sure you document things, make sure you have some kind of backup in place, and update things regularly (but maybe not straight away, just in case).

Also expect to occasionally run into weird issues that you need to figure out a fix for. I am 99% sure it was for my NextCloud-AIO setup a year or so ago, but there was an update to it that broke the setup if you had created the containers previousy at a certian time. You needed to run a particular command inside one of the containers to fix it up.

There was also the time where I migrated things off a physical server to a VM, but missed the script that was doing my certbot DNS challenge renewal. I had not documented things back then and a few months later all my services stopped working, that took a bit to re-do.

I do make sure to keep backups of my VM’s, and for the VPS I run I pay a bit extra for vultr to keep backups/snapshots there. Along with actual documentation of how I did the setup, I’ve got things stable for the most part.

Here’s my Heimdall homepage to give an example of different services I run, as well as some links to other websites. Blanked out a few things for privacy and eyepatch reasons (not sure if that’s allowed here).

I use vaultwarden (open source implementation of bitwarden server). Yes it’s a seperate service to manage, but it’s a dedicated password/secrets manager that can do otp codes.

I’ve been running the docker container for a few years now and it’s been rock solid.

IT WAS YOU!

For some people, sadly, yes.

People are weird man.

It’s not weed, it’s covfeve. You’d die in 30 seconds if you have any working brain cells. It’s how they weed out the RINOs

All it needs is their ship, Moya, in the background!

Product is king.

Inertia is also in play.

Sync for Lemmy is built by the same guy that built sync for Reddit. Built using seemingly a lot of the same code.

I bounced between all the open source apps and have started using sync for Lemmy because it’s familiar and it works. It also seems to be much faster than the others, maybe due to more aggressive caching/prefetching? Or that could be a placebo effect.

I was always having weird issues with jebora and the rest of them, and was not a fan of Voyager’s interface.

I might try connect, jebora, etc again a bit later. Might also purchase the one time and remove for sync, might donate to Lemmy instances, etc.

For now I’m just glad to have a familiar interface.
