Hardware does not need a steep upfront costs.

You don’t need a nasa pc to run nextcloud, larger businesses routinely trow away machines that are beyond what you need. Chances are family of a member already has some machines they where going to trow away. Your hardware priorities are most cpu cores with as much compatible ram.

The advantages of having your own hardware is you can run multiple local servers and let members experience without additional costs. Imagine it like a private mini internet run by members that only is accessible at location.

I highly recommend proxmox as a server os which has 1 line helper script commands that create a whole nextcloud installation and others automatically, its also very easy to backup those.

Electron is chrome based though and i hate how many things rely on it.

Hyperland is what sold me on Linux. Would nog have switched if it wasn’t for this project

Never looked back.

I would prefer to have it removed now but as an alternative you can just install games and stuff on it while windows still lives on it.

Theoretically you can boot proton games from both sides. I just have never needed to do so.

Got any of em helper Scripts for proxmox to get gpu passtrough working please? 🥺

In the original it also supposedly amounts to more grain then there is in the kingdom.

A king once summoned a wise man who had done him a great service and said, “Name your reward.” The wise man replied, “Your Majesty, I ask for a simple thing. Give me one percent Linux desktop market share for the first square of the chessboard, two percent for the second square, four percent for the third square, and so on, doubling the amount for each of the 64 squares.” The king, thinking this was a modest request, said, “Surely you jest! Such a small reward for such a great service? Ask for gold, land, or jewels instead.” But the wise man insisted, and the king agreed. The king ordered his treasurer to calculate the total. Starting with 1% for the first square, 2% for the second, 4% for the third, 8% for the fourth… by the time they reached the tenth square, they needed 512% of the desktop market. The treasurer, pale with realization, informed the king that by the 64th square, they would need more market share than could possibly exist in the entire universe of computing devices. The king then understood that what seemed like a humble request was actually impossible to fulfill, and he gained a new respect for the power of exponential growth.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I dont think the whole web being like the fediverse is feasible

It does not need to be. “Whole web” being a certain way almost implies it all follows the same standards from which point the people who set and develop those standards become the centralised authority.

I like to think of the internet as simply a carrier of digital information. This can be any information. My vpn tunnel is just as much a part of the whole as a public website.

The way i envision a positive evolution is that more people get involved in running their own network, for themselves, their family, their neighbourhood, a global community they are a part of.

They can use the activitypub protocol, a selfmade protocol or any other they want. The only thing that matters is that the people who need and use the digital information can use it.

The public internet dominated by large players will still exist but it will be (and actually already is) a small portion of everything we use the web for.

Unrelated but how do people feel about the ai images when used for something like this.

The font is very telling for being DallE

 there is nothing to read

“Bloat” the less system there is (while still working as a modern system) the better. If i need something i can install it myself.

If your library is on other platform like gog, epic, amazon or off platform .exe you can use heroic launcher and for most stuff it works just as well.

For some games there is a little more learning curve because you have to translate custom steam configurations found on protondb to do the same thing in heroic but overall you actually have way more control then steam.

The only reason “id think twice” is if you play lots of games with anticheat which does not work on every distro (like arch btw).

Did you pay for copilot yourself or did your job provide you with a license?

The enterprise tier of copilot is supposed to have access to such data, though it can be managed trough internal policies.

Ask it to summarize your latests emails In outlook/teams messages. If it has access to those (and this is intended) then its near certainty also setup to know who is who in the organization.

Allegedly, the data is “safe” because enterprises is supposedly not harvested and used for training… which makes me conclude non enterprise use absolutely is.

Allegedly because thats what Microsoft claims and on paper it looks legal. But these tech companies never seem to actually follow the law to such a degree that any claims that unmistakably seem to fit within the legal framework automatically are sus to me.

Psa: the reason Microsoft makes these tools linux friendly is because the know thats where the developers are at and they want them to stay familiar with their tools.

It also lowers the amount of fuss developers make when work forced them to use powershell etc because at least they can remote control and script from linux.

Heteros cant be pro lgbtq+ now?

Should rename it to bigot festival. Cant call it hetero with all the closest gays it attracts.

Whispers “try proxmox”

Angry upvote

Real talk.

Is Iran having a nuclear weapon worse then Trump having acces to a nuclear weapon.

Of course i wish these weapons just weren’t but we seem perfectly capable of not using them and comitting succesfull horrors and genocide anyway.

We have come close before but even the bad guys seem aware that these are only usefull in irony as a deterent against ones total destruction.

You dont need to limit yourself to just one, feel free to diversify your presence.

But for a real answer: The smaller ones; The smaller the more respecfull they feel.

Though more users does demonstrate capabilities. Not every server is fast or stable.

But she also ain’t LEFT either.

Mtg really is like their own unique gender.
