Bit of a mess, kinda depressed, and going through a gender identity crisis :3

(Ongoing issues, brain pls fix)

  • "You should probably just throw it away"

    Jump

  • Proton is based on Wine, when people say Wine in a gaming context, there's a decent chance they just mean Proton. Also there's absolutely no need for gaming distros in this situation, gaming works out of the box on any (semi-normal) distro, the most you'll have to do is flick a switch in Steam.

    Edit: Or in this case with the Sims install Lutris I guess, since it's an EA game, but that also isn't much more difficult

  • Patience is a virtue

  • She's what one would generally refer to as a tankie and even refers to herself as extremist, so I do believe that is the appropriate term.

  • Patience is a virtue

    Jump

  • Apparently to some that's the goal. I had a chat with a leftist a while back while the US election was in full swing and she was absolutely against the concept of voting for a lesser evil, since the worse things get, the more people will turn to leftist extremism, which is a win in her book. Suffice it to say, that talk made me anything but sympathetic of her view...

  • looking for linux versions of games ?

    Jump

  • In my experience not just sometimes, but rather commonly. It often feels like the native Linux version, if it is even available, gets far fewer bug fixes - not like I can blame them, considering the far lower amount of Linux players, but sometimes I wonder why they even bother with it in the first place if they don't want to bother with focusing on it, with how good Proton is.

  • Detailed Error Messages

    Jump

  • It's likely a difference of emotion compared to logic. Emotionally they'd think "Damn it, now we need to check for such a weird specific edge-case, this is so annoying" while logically knowing it's better the tester caught it.

  • What file systems are you using on your devices and why?

    Jump

  • Yep, got Timeshift hooked up to make a snapshot each time I update my system and I can boot into them via GRUB. Haven't needed that so far, thankfully, but it's there just in case.

    Jump

  • Btrfs because it sounded cool when I first read about it and worked fine so far :3

  • Make the Ruleopean Union Better

    Jump

  • Thank you for sharing this! Wouldn't have known about it without you, time to sign it

  • What makes it “Legitimate Interest“?

    Jump

  • One thing I've found to be useful is just having my browser clear all cookies upon closing. It's initially annoying while you set up all your exceptions for commonly used sites so you don't need to log in again there every time, but afterwards you don't need to worry too much, because once you close your browser, all the useless cookies are gone.

  • No common rube

  • Average CSS

    Jump

  • Well, flexbox and grid have different purposes in my opinion/experience. Personally I use grid for "top level" layouts like the layout of the whole site, while I tend to prefer flexbox for layouts inside the grid. Of course that's just a rule of thumb, there are absolutely cases where this isn't the best option.

  • Average CSS

    Jump

  • I know you meant this sarcastically, but yes, flex is a good option for centering something. Either that or setting the left and right margins of the element to auto, which is generally even easier.

    Basically, if you're in a flex container use flex, if you're in a grid use grid, and if neither of those apply set the left and right margins to auto.

  • Is the Proton (Mail, VPN, Password Manager) ecosystem any good?

    Jump

  • Wait, it doesn't support caldav? That really kills the appeal of the convenience they provide as a one-stop-shop, as I'd have to deal with hosting my calendars in another way. I guess at that point I could just get SimpleLogin and use the rest as I have it, even if that gets close to proton unlimited price-wise...

  • NAS, Home Servers, and where do I even start?

    Jump

  • That site is lovely, thank you!

  • As I mentioned in the post, my money budget is around 1000€ as a target, but it extends both up and down. I can stretch if needed, but if that's comically overkill then I'd be happy to go lower. Time budget... not too high, but also not super low. I can certainly spend a day or two setting everything up. Electricity costs are certainly a factor, power prices here were some of the highest globally, even before the extreme increases lately.

    Also thanks for the tip of the S3 backup, it's probably a good idea to have an extra copy of important data off-site, yeah.

  • Very clever...

    Jump

  • Really, I'd just recommend using nano then. It's installed basically anywhere you can find vim and works perfectly fine as a text editor! To use vim effectively it has a learning curve no matter what, so it's not necessarily meant for everyone.

  • making fun of windows is our most treasured tradition

    Jump

  • The original meme template, to my knowledge, was something along the lines of "People be like "Subway sucks". Bro, you made the sandwich." and then it was tweaked a little, tweaked a little more, tweaked a little more and we ended up with this and even more absurd versions.

  • I know that it's rolling release, but 4 times this year seems a bit much

    Jump

  • About NixOS specifically, I actually made a post on [email protected] and overall the feedback seemed to be that Nix is a mixed bag, and that unless you want to duplicate your system a bunch of times, it's probably smarter to stick to Arch, and a few people said I should use immutable Fedora for some reason despite that not being the question.

  • I know that it's rolling release, but 4 times this year seems a bit much

    Jump

  • I'm quite excited but also mildly worried about Arch. I am currently on EndeavourOS, so I'm used to day-to-day usage of an Arch-based system, but I do worry about not following some best practices that screw me over in the long run during the install or forgetting some crucial security things. I do believe 95% of what I could mess up is going to be covered in the install guide, but who knows what I'll overlook. And I know Archinstall exists, but I might as well stay on EOS if I was gonna use that, as I primarily intend this to be a learning opportunity. We'll see how things go!

  • I see. I suppose figuring out which things to get rid of takes some getting used to, but thank you for the advice!
