As someone with a collection of a couple hundred CDs and another hundred or so DVDs filling my closet, I’m not really sure everyone appreciates the logistics of holding physical media for a couple-hundred-game library.

181·10 days agoI’ve been collecting CDs, DVDs, and BRs for 30 years. They fill a closet. Thank fuck for rippers, though, so I can play them all from one HD with a little sort through menu and a click.
It’s hard to keep up with all the new hotness on disks, though. If you want to know what the guys at work are talking about with Ted Lasso, or The Boys, then it’s streaming or high seas.
13·13 days agoThat seems a lot more useful than binary tags. There’s a wide spectrum between fully vibe-coded slop and hand-written with vim.
Well, the steam machine has a custom gpu, but it seems similar to an RX 7650, so
https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare/5320vs6308/Radeon-860M-vs-Radeon-RX-7650-GRE
should give you some quick numbers. Or I’m sure GN has a 90 minute video going through the details.
The tux uses the AMD iGPU, where Steam machine has a dedicated GPU, so it’s going to be very different.
Is the topic of financial/trading tools just completely off-limits here, even if it’s AGPL and self-hosted?
Not necessarily. The platform (lemmy, not just c/selfhosted) is full of anti-corporate leftists and anarchists. You’re more likely to find people who want to burn the stock market to the ground than to participate in it, esp highly speculative algo trading.
I’ve seen plenty of people ask about self-hosted personal finance or portfolio tracking, so there are people for whom your project might be relevant. Just seems more like a r/wallstreetbets kind of thing than a lemmy kind of thing.
If you’re in the Western hemisphere, NOAA has every-5-minute satellite images, using the form

45·19 days agoSo, I’m not particularly surprised that a bunch of rich psychopaths hang out together, virtually or IRL. I mean, we all find our tribe eventually.
I’m not particularly surprised that a bunch of rich psychopaths hanging out together come up with schemes of mutual benefit. I’d be surprised if they didn’t.
I’ve always thought of the Illuminati as a thing beyond that. Like, some kind of quasi-religious thing that transcends mere greed and grift. Maybe we’ve just reached the point in capitalism where oligarch collusion is indistinguishable from world domination, because enough of our governments have already ceded authority to their corporate overlords.
I started doing the One True Database method because I got worried that the high write count on all the little db’s was abusing a raspberry pi’s SD card. Moved them all to a bigger server with NVME and mirroring to a RAID.
Not all the compose files make obvious how to reconfigure the db host. Homeassistant uses s a sqlite db built into the container, rather than a separate unit, but you can force it to use a remote db through its config file. May or may not be worth hiding db user/pass in a .env And sometimes there’s trouble restarting after power failure, depending on what order the database, pi, and various containers come back up.
I also feel it’s worthwhile. I feel better being able to check on all the databases. Feel better not writing to the SD card so much. Feel better offloading those megabytes and cpu cycles from the little pi. It’s been fun snooping through database structures. There have been a couple times where I decided to query one of the ccontain databases directly, or cross from one project to another, and it’s easier (for me) to give a different user privileges to the database and query some deep bit of data than to figure out how to extract it from an API or frontend.
I’m not even running that many services, but why would I want the overhead of 6 separate mysql instances when I could just have one?
A records return the numerical address of a name.
CNAME returns a different name for a name. Basically ‘synonym’ so the maintainer only has to change the one master, A record when the IP address changes. Convenient to use CNAME to point www.example.com to example.com, but you can use it just as well to point example.com at my.private.host.xyz You can even chain multiple CNAMEs to make it easier to manage a complex backend structure while presenting a simple address to users.
16·1 month agoNo doubt. Retired gamer here: I play so much Valheim, Saints’ Row 3, and Fallouts. No way I’m forking out $70 for some new wannabe, unless you pry the .comfort games from my arthritic fingers.
Doesn’t work that way on lemmy: if they delete the post, then the alt’s shilling disappears, too.
or at least change the title to [solved] with a link to the comment that worked.
Uncheck “Send notifications to Email” in your settings. Or get a 3rd party app with a notifications setting.
Could they be astroturfing, looking for a specific solution to fill search engines with their own product placement, then deleting because most of the comments are other FOSS solutions?
That exact table is in my dining room right now.
Not who you replied ti, but I’ve been on purelymail for about a year and a half. No complaints. $10.yr is great, and their billing statements claim I could be around $3/year if I switched to their advanced billing. I have nagging concern that they’re hosted on AWS, and if your goal is to completely free yourself of US tech giants, then purelymail won’t.

Dunno how well it would work with kubernates internal networks, but my DNS is configured with different views for internal and external clients. So, when letsencrypt does a lookup, they get the external IP, but when an internal client looks up the same name, they get the internal IP. TLS is happy, because the certificate matches the name. I’m happy because it works even when the ISP is down.
