To each their own, that’s the reason I don’t play Solitaire physically and play it digitally I hate spending 5-10 minutes on a game just to find out that I can’t beat it. There’s no sense of satisfaction for me
Just your normal everyday casual software dev. Nothing to see here.
People can share differing opinions without immediately being on the reverse side. Avoid looking at things as black and white. You can like both waffles and pancakes, just like you can hate both waffles and pancakes.

I just went through the hassle of putting a PXE server on my main server. I put boot repair disc, Debian live, a few installers and I just remembered I need to throw clonezilla on it.
I always end up losing my USBs and I just lost my primary OS USB and had to re-download all my isos so I figured enough is enough.
and you get just about through the door and they already are saying no.

10·16 days agoWe all have been there. First technical build I struggled for 45 minutes trying to figure out why I was getting a zero display whatsoever only to find out that I plugged that damn HDMI cable into the wrong port, and the board had disabled everything including post and splash from using the motherboards port

3·16 days agoyou arent the only one. I had suck a painful onboarding process with next cloud from the docker setup to the speed of it to the UI that I just gave up and decided to use a combination of immich and syncthing instead.

37·16 days agoMy grandfather’s reason for it. “It will be too different from my current system”
… the only thing he does is the web browser, and bookworm deluxe which i have confirmed does work via wine. I was recommending him install an OS called q4os, which I have on my laptop, I showed him the side by side comparison of q4os vs windows. For a point of reference this is what q4os looks like

I think he is too scared of change.

1·16 days agoFair, the first thing I teach anyone who gets a dualboot up and running, is how to install boot repair disk on a flash drive and how to run the system repair on it(easy enough since it autoruns). It fixes most basic BS that windows can do to a Linux install

29·16 days agoI guess that really depends on the equipment though, some devices when you turn it on for the first time will automatically enter pairing mode, so all that had to be done is click it in the bluetooth menu, but it might not auto enter pairing mode when you turn it on after. So it’s unlikely the user ever knew they were pairing it, and just clicked through the prompts like many do
I somewhat agree with their mentality on post 2022 Debian since they had changed the default and made it harder to disable non-free from the start but, from what I understood by reading the FAQ page, even prior to bookworm it wasn’t endorsed due to having the toggle in the first place, which I find super weird.
It didn’t until 2022 or so, it’s had a toggle that can be turned on or off for non-free repo’s for as long as I can remember but, starting around 2022 they changed the default to allow for non-free (and also apparently made it a pain in the butt for the live install to disable it because its a boot param now instead of a toggle)
They actually explain why they don’t endorse Debian in the link the person above you added. Apparently since you /can/ enable the non-free repos in the installer, it doesn’t classify as 100% free. I don’t agree with the statement and find it weird, but that’s how they defined it.
It’s not just by default it seems, they excluded Debian because it had a toggle to be able to choose to add it during install(pre-2022), so it seems that their criteria is any type of affiliation with non-free software

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•PSA syncthing-fork has changed ownersEnglish
261·19 days agothis entire thing has made me really rethink whether I want to swap to the new repo or not.
Why was there no communication about it. The gplay repo maintainer wasn’t informed of anything, no public notice to anyone was given, just a transfer of the repo and a status issue here explaining it.
Obviously the act is genuine as they were able to keep the original keys but like, this entire system seemed really sketchy.
I’m also not happy with the fact that it seems the first thing they added was removing checksums, but that might be a temp thing.
I also just noticed that it looks like they removed the entire public key for it, which if they had the original private keys using the existing public keys shouldn’t be an issue right?

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self hosting Sunday! What's up, selfhosters?English
2·20 days agoOne of my drives crippled itself a few days back, not sure what caused it. Wasn’t able to be resolved without a host restart which was unfortunate. SMART isn’t failing and has been working fine, so I’m chalking it down to a weird Proxmox bug or something.
For sure expected I was going to need to do a rollback on an entire drive after that restart though. Still may have to if it reoccurs.

memes@lemmy.world•"One piece after the 37 episode gets really good"English
6·21 days agoHonestly, the opposite is why I struggled to get into the show for so long. I have a bunch of messages with friends who were pushing me to watch it of “I don’t get why this happens, I don’t feel enjoyment out of the fights. He’s doing the same thing every time and then for some reason it works the last time”
I think one piece is one of the few shows where I don’t actually like the main protag. I understand Luffy’s personality, and I understand that perseverance is his thing, but he takes a hammer approach for everything. I didn’t like how for the first 400 or so episodes his approach to fighting anything was to hit it repeatedly, just angrier. Defeating antagonists early on seemed super unrewarding because it was the same thing he does all battle, just for some reason it works that time.
Note this does eventually change, but like the time commitment required to get to that part where it’s engaging is super high. I do like the show now that it’s actually starting to pick up but, I defo don’t believe that I would have made it to this point if I wasn’t also being pushed to since I was in a one piece DnD campaign and not understanding key elements was getting old lmao

3·21 days agoI agree with this statement, I dropped it for 6 or 7 months during the alabasta arc cause I just couldn’t binge it further, but once that arc is done, is slowly starts picking up the pacing and is really good


the standard 3 draw one. I understand 1 draw has a higher chance of success tho
