  • Windows 11 is now an ad platform--this is why we're here

    Jump

  • In my naive mind the steam deck is a huge motivating factor for developers to go directly to native Linux games. In reality it's probably given only little a consideration.

  • How long before the majority of game development is defaulting to Linux/Unix instead of windows? Getting native Linux games to run on windows is only becoming easier and easier with WSL? To me it seems like less of a hastle than trying to go the other way like we do today with proton and wine. Can someone enlighten me?

  • Uuh grub?

    Jump

  • I had an old laptop do this some years ago and it was because the graphics card was broken. I had dual graphic card and found a way to disable the broken one in bios (dedicated one, could continue on intel graphics) but the computer was too old to reliably use much longer and it died even more a few months later.

  • What are some good Overleaf (Latex) alternatives?

    Jump

  • Combine with git and you now have a good way of keeping track of changes as well of you have to collaborate with others.

  • What distro should I use on my potato?

    Jump

  • I can recommend as well. It is maybe not the most beginner friendly OS since it works quite differently than most other OS's unless installed in a curtain way. Iirc. The installer is quite helpful in getting it set up correctly.

  • I'm surprised noone have mentioned Lubuntu yet. It's a debloated and light weight version of Ubuntu and can run on very old hardware. I've used it in the past before on shitty hardware with great success

  • How is the report generated andwhere is the data sourced from? I often have huge issues with weather reports being very wrong or not up to date fast enough to be useful so I end up just using the national report but their app is terrible.

  • Wait... it's all backdoors ? Always has been bro...

  • KB, MB, GB, and TB are all part of the metric system. What empirical measurements should we Free™️ Americans use for computer memory?

    Jump

  • Probably something based on 1/6 th of a byte that originates form old IBM systems that used 6 bits per byte that was then later never changed into 8 bit systems so you now have to convert between 6 bit and 8 bit systems and then fractions, gotta get those good fractions. So they'd say something like my SSD is 170⅔ GB for a 128GB drive

  • Linux users with uncommon or unusual setups: tell us about it

    Jump

  • Dvorak doesn't really make sense for phones anyway. There's zero benefits. Maybe even negatively since qwerty spreads out the most common keys it's easier for autocorrect to guess what you are actually trying to hit. I have no scientific data on it tho. Just a feeling.

  • Thank you! It's so much more comfortable to typ on. Not faster, but Comfortable. I hate the awkward and annoying questions from colleges tho: wHY iS yOuR nOt woRkinG NoRmAllY?

    And the mess that ctrl-c ctrl-v becomes is also super annoying. Mostly on windows its annoying. Linux is a bit more consistent.

    Jump

  • I think my most unusual step os to select dvoark keyboard layout. Otherwise I'm pretty vanilla.

  • Would it be possible to run Pi-hole, Octoprint and Home Assistant on the same RPi 3 mod. B?

    Jump

  • Possible: yes

    Recommend: absolutely not

  • Any docker solution to control smart light bulb?

    Jump

  • My best advice is to NOT think of it as addons. If you want grafana or node red for example, just install them in seperate in a container not considering anything else about HA. Then just use them normally. You can still use the integrations for grafana and node red. Integrations work perfectly fine on HA in a Docker container.

    Remember, very important: INTEGRATIONS ARE NOT ADDONS they are two very different things.

  • What advice can you give to a beginner?

    Jump

  • I can see that quickly becoming an issue if people just run random yaml files without understanding the underlying functions. I'm happy I never took that route because I leaned so much

  • What advice can you give to a beginner?

    Jump

  • Hmm I should maybe have added that I only ever touched docker cli tools and have never used a front end of any kind. I do know that they exists, but I like having my fingers in the mechanical room so to speak so it gave me a quite steep learning curve writing my own docker compose files from scratch and learning the syntax, environment variables and volumes working manually. I still to this day only use cli version of Docker because its the only thing I ever learned.

  • What advice can you give to a beginner?

    Jump

  • Came here to write exactly this. It's a steep learning curve but well worthwhile. Although I'd specify and say: learn docker compose.

    Edit: what I ment was learn docker cli tools (command line tools) and use Docker compose that way. It gives you a much better understanding of how Docker actually works behind the scene while still keeping it high level

  • Do you have anything more to back up the claims about haos breaking privacy other than sone DNS queries? Just because there is a DNS query doesn't mean any actual data is being sent. I'm only asking because I'd be sad to hear if there are really issues. HA is fully open source so I'm surprised if this is really and issue.

  • What's the deal with Docker?

    Jump

  • I can also add that if you want to run multiple programs that each have a web interface it's easy to direct each interface to the port you want instead of having to go through various config files that are different for each program or worst case having to change a hardcoded port in some software. With docker you have the same easy config options for each service you want to run. Same with storage paths. Various software stores their files at seemingly random places. With docker you just map a folder and all you files are stored there without any further configs.
