Each Lemmy server contains a user database, explicit federations with other Lemmy servers, and communities. Plebbit sounds like each instance is a self contained community instead of being hosted on an overarching server with other communities. And the Plebbit communities are hosted via BitTorrent style decentralized seeding.
It looks like they ran Linux apps inside a virtual machine on an Android phone. That has been possible for a long time now. That is certainly a route Valve could go down, but it won’t be a very good user experience.
The difference there is it likely builds on the work they did for the Steam Deck and SteamOS. Writing a full Steam client for iOS or Android would be a huge amount of work independently from that.
Switching from gas cars to EVs and having chargers at home. Always leaving the house with a “full tank of gas” and never needing to stop at a gas station again. I did stop by one to clean my windshield a while back and there was ground in trash around the pump, the wiper had no fluid, it was overall disgusting. I don’t remember them being that bad.

I’m running Proxmox and hate it. I still recommend it for what you are trying to do. I think it would work quite nicely. Three of my four nodes have llama.cpp VMs hosting OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoints (llama-server) and I run Claude Code against that using a simple translation proxy.
Proxmox is very opinionated on certain aspects and I much prefer bare metal k8s for my needs.
I can still find 480p videos from when YouTube first started that rival the quality of the compressed crap “1080p” we get from YouTube today. It’s outrageous.
Star Trek Enterprise, Tripp needs some organ donations if I remember right. The doctor clones him for organ harvesting and the clone is terminated to save the life of Tripp.
I’m out of the loop, what’s that about Audacity? Looks like they still have a github repo with very recent activity and Wikipedia says their trademark was acquired by a company in 2021.

This is pretty rad! Thanks for sharing. I went down the same road with learning k3s on about 7 Raspberry Pis and pivoted over to Proxmox/Ceph on a few old gaming PCs / Ethereum miners. Now I am trying to optimize the space and looking at how to rack mount my ATX machines with GPUs lol… I was able to get a RTX 3070 to fit in a 2U rack mount enclosure but having some heat issues… going to look at 4U cases with better airflow for the RTX 3090 and various RX480s.
I am planning to set up Talos VMs (one per Proxmox host) and bootstrap k8s with Traefik and others. If you’re learning, you might want to start with a batteries-included k8s distro like k3s.
I followed the wiki tutorials for that. Make sure iommu is working, blacklist drivers on host, etc.
It’s on my lift of projects. I build a Proxmox+Ceph cluster and I have GPU passthrough working for LLM inference. I was planning to get docker headless Steam going and try to steam via Steam In Home Streaming as my first attempt then pivot to a full VM with Sunshine as a last resort.

Jesus Christ… take your upvote
Honestly, I would back up all of your downloads, documents, pictures, videos, browser history/passwords/bookmarks, and anything else you want to save to an external drive or to The Cloud (or multiple, e.g., most/all browsers have a sync function, and OneDrive/Google Drive/Dropbox, etc.), and then download and test drive multiple different distros until you find one that you like and has good community support. Nearly all distros today will let you test it out without installing (kind of a try before you buy). Once you find one, install it while wiping the Windows install, then load your graphics drivers and Steam. Steam will handle the rest as far as running your games (some caveats apply, i.e., some multiplayer games will not work because the developers are assholes).
I always called that a soft brick when it could still power on, but couldn’t load the main operating system, but it could receive a reinstall of the system.
Hard brick was the one where it was permanently disabled either from not able to power on or was incapable of reloading the main OS without essentially “brain surgery” of the device.
I guess brick could extend to broken components until a reboot (such as a broke WiFi driver or such). What type of “brick” would it be? How about glitch brick?
They should have just called it appleOS 26 since they are bumping all of it to 26 and unifying the look and feel between all of their OSs.
How difficult is it for an adversary to get in the middle of the TPM releasing the keys to LUKS? That’s why I would want attestation of some sort, but that makes it more complicated and thinking about how that would work in practice makes my head spin…
How is the hosting changed when needed (e.g., a different IPFS address)? What happens in a coordinated attack by someone with 51% of the seeds, can they overwrite all of the content? Is there any cryptographic way to ensure the content hasn’t been maliciously altered?
