  • Have you tried self-hosting your own email recently?

    Jump

  • mailcow-dockerized is great, really makes email setup so much easier.

    Do you ever send mails to Gmail and Office365? Do you get through the spam filter without PTR record?

  • have you found a good use case for generative AI?

  • You self host the full Deepseek R1? What's your hardware?

    Also, you might enjoy [email protected]

  • GOG wants to revive more classic Japanese games on PC: 'Working with Japanese partners often requires demonstrating both technical capability and cultural understanding'

  • Do you know if they ever fixed the enemies disappearing on higher resolutions? Don't really want to play it in 720p.

  • Does anyone actually take into account "IP Rating"/"Water Resistance" when they buy phones?

    Jump

  • No, I grew up with phones (and electronics in general) not being water tight or resistant so I sort of still have the mindset of not taking my phone near lakes/bathtubs and putting it away when it's raining.

    Haven't really had a problem with water damage in all the years of owning phones. Most of my phones were not water tight/resistant because they were older Nokias, had a replaced battery or are Fairphones.

  • What was your last “impulse buy” and was it worth it?

  • In case you're playing with controller, use the d-pad. Just hold left/right and down and you will always perform the pogo bounce instead of hitting air.

  • Kodi 22 "Piers" Promises HDR Passthrough on OpenGL and HDR on Wayland - 9to5Linux

    Jump

  • Up until recently, there was no HDR support at all on regular desktop Linux. Now Wayland has HDR support and Kodi is getting it soon.

    CoreELEC on Odroid (and many other ARM boxes) is able to switch between HDR/SDR, different resolutions and passthrough all audio codecs. All of which I need for proper media playback in my home theater.

  • Kodi 22 "Piers" Promises HDR Passthrough on OpenGL and HDR on Wayland - 9to5Linux

    Jump

  • Neat, I might finally be able to use a proper Linux PC as HTPC instead of an Odroid running CoreELEC once HDR switching works.

  • Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that

    Jump

  • If your use case is only desktop and phone, KDE Connect can do it independently from your music service. Works in both directions as well.

  • Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available on 4th September. USD $19.99 | EUR €19.99 | JPY ¥2300

    Jump

  • That's a fantastic price. Already took the day off on Friday so I'm ready for Silksong.

  • Context: Docker bypasses all UFW firewall rules

    Jump

  • My impression from a recent crash course on Docker is that it got popular because it allows script kiddies to spin up services very fast without knowing how they work.

    That's only a side effect. It mainly got popular because it is very easy for developers to ship a single image that just works instead of packaging for various different operating systems with users reporting issues that cannot be reproduced.

  • Tim Sweeney on Unreal Engine 5 Optimization Issues: "The main cause is order of development" ["Ideally, optimization should begin early—before full content build-out."]

    Jump

  • Pretty much every UE5 game I have played so far has it, with very few providing fallbacks to old school lighting.

    To list some of the worst offenders I can remember right now:

    • Lords of the Fallen (2023)
    • Remnant II
    • Talos Principle 2 and Talos Principle Reawakened
    • Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
    • Supraworld

  • Tim Sweeney on Unreal Engine 5 Optimization Issues: "The main cause is order of development" ["Ideally, optimization should begin early—before full content build-out."]

    Jump

  • My issue with Unreal Engine 5 is pretty much exclusively Lumen.

    Developers turn it on and call it a day. No baked lighting. No reflection probes. Just blurry reflections and blurry shadows with FSR on top for extra blurriness.

    It runs and looks like absolute ass and I simply stopped buying UE5 games that use it.

  • I use Jellyfin but I download all my songs from Tidal, Qobuz or Deezer and tag them automatically right then and there in a clean format so Jellyfin does not have to guess at all.

    I also have some automatic checks in place to convert incorrect metadata to a proper format. Like moving artists from the title (feat. Somebody else) to the artists tag Somebody; Somebody else and a bunch more.

    Together with Finamp on desktop and mobile everything is pretty much working as expected.

  • You won't be missed

  • Bazzite has a version for legacy Nvidia GPUs (including the 10xx series). I would start there.

    SteamOS, even if it releases anytime soon, most likely will not support your GPU.

  • Bazzite has gained nearly 10k users in 3 months while other Fedora Atomic distros remain fairly stagnant

    Jump

  • I switched from Fedora KDE to Kinoite a few months ago. Both were 100% stable for me as well.

    The main reason I switched to Kinoite is because I'm a digital hoarder and after 5 years or so all my systems are completely trashed with various libraries, 12 different PHP/.NET versions, custom builds and a bazillion Python packages.

    In the end it always causes issues like my builds stop working because I have some ancient version of a library stashed away somewhere.

    Immutable distros are really easy to return to "factory defaults". It keeps a list of all the packages that are installed on the system and everything else now goes in Toolboxes, Distroboxes or Docker containers. If I mess up my C++ environment (again) I can just delete that toolbox and start from scratch.

    I still manage to bloat my home directory but that is much easier to clean up than looking through all system files.

  • Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

    Jump

  • Do you play solo? I tried twice in coop but after some time my coop partners always lose interest.

    Thought about trying to do it solo but not sure if it's as fun alone.

  • Anyone tried cloud gaming?

    Jump

  • I'm running this on a 7900 XTX with 32GB RAM. No issues so far. According to their instructions, Nvidia is a little bit more involved but it should perform the same on consumer or pro GPUs.

    I assume decause it’s using Docker, the more RAM the better.

    Docker has pretty much no overhead, so you only need enough RAM to run the games/sessions you want to run in addition to your regular desktop.

  • They don't do the same thing: Sunshine is intended to stream a single physical desktop.

    Games on Whales runs headlessly and creates virtual desktops for each session in a Docker environment.

    For example, you can create an instance that runs at 800p so you can stream to your Steam Deck at its native resolution. You can even still use your desktop normally since the streams run in the background.

    Both of them support connection via Moonlight.
