Personally, I find his Linux and privacy-related endeavors commendable, but I widely disregard of his political stances.

Moving to Linux soon, and wondering how pirated games work with it. I know about proton with steam and lutris for most bought games, but how would I run pirated windows games over there?

So I have had this script I have been working on for a while, intended to automate LetsEncrypt renewals and deploy those certs to Panorama for Palo Alto endpoints....

I have a Triniton Wega (480i) that I’d like to use as a separate monitor for streaming VHS rips and pixely PC games. My computer is a Win11 machine with a 2080, and I just tried usb-c output of the 2080->hdmi->component converter->TV and (to no one’s surprise) it didn’t work. I used Nvidia’s custom resolution to use...

I’m taking down my big Supermicro server to save energy and moving Plex/Jellyfin/*arr to a spare 10th gen Intel NUC with SSDs. Performance is fine for DirectPlay media to my SHIELD and mobile devices, but the onboard GPU power is limited and struggles to even transcode some 1080p media – let alone 4K. Does anyone have...

So I’ve been using youtube ad blockers since pretty much when ad blocker extensions were first available. Lately though I’ve been getting hit more and more with these messages that YT was sending out every 5 or so videos telling me that adblockers aren’t allowed. No problem, just gotta wait 5 seconds to x it out and then...

What are thoughts on putting an instance behind a CDN?

I’ve searched every way I can think of and can’t find anything.

When I used to blog 10+ years ago I had a killer list of WordPress blogs I followed but as time went on I sort of gave up on the whole blogging thing and forgot about most of them. Now that WP is part of the fediverse I’m curious, what are some of your favorites?

I’m looking for a clean version of Ableton Live (ideally 11, but anything older is fine too) for weeks now. But everything I download and send to VirusTotal.com is infected with all kinds of nasty malware....

I’m looking up fan theories again and keep coming across the claim that John Carpenter in an interview has said the 2002 video game is canon to his 1982 movie, but out of literally dozens of references I have not come across a single link or article quoting John Carpenter yet....

I highly appreciate envelopes which open on the shorter side.

Weekly thread to discuss whatever you’re working on, big or small, at work or in your free time.

This has been going on for over a year now. About a month after I delete items to free up space, my account will be full again with the items I deleted before. Or I will update a contact and a phone number that they no longer have will be returned to their info. What am I missing?...

I remember in older Android releases I could enable high priority banner mode for my work emails. They would stay on top of the screen as persistent banners until I manually dismissed them. Is that still a thing?...

I have an old ThinkPad SL-400 with a Core 2 Duo processor and 4 gigabytes of RAM....

Game Information...

hi, i’m kinda out of ideas -maybe you know some selfhostable solution....

I must be missing something, but I am trying to get a general news thread at the top of the community and do not see how to sticky it....

Asphalt used on road surfaces are byproducts from fossil fuel. With the ultimate goal of eliminating the use of fossil fuel to combat climate change, are there any good alternatives for road surfaces? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a viable replacement of asphalt in the works, or even a plan to replace it in any...
