I apologize if this seems like a trivial matter, but I have a laptop (a Lenovo Ideapad 3 to be exact) and I can’t get WiFi (or Bluetooth) to work on anything other than Ubuntu 23.04 and its flavors. I tried OpenSUSE Leap and Debian 12, both couldn’t detect the built-in WiFi card. I also tried Ubuntu-based distros such as...

I have a collection of music in flac format and now I want to store them on my phone. flac files get too much space and downloading all the playlist in mp3 takes as much time as finding decent and real high quality flacs (there is plenty of songs on internet which only look like 320kbps and are not really high quality). So I...

I feel like I’m losing my mind. A few days ago, all of my containers running on Docker Desktop on my Windows Server host were working nicely. I had NFS volumes set up on a few of them to reach my synology NAS on my local network, and things were working fine. I’ve done so much digging and tweaking over the last few days, so...

I’ve an iPhone and Id like to backup my phone to my server running Debain 11 with docker installed....

As per the title, I downloaded this game, have added it to my Gatekeeper exemption and disabled SIP and all that, and even though it’s added to Steam as a non-Steam game, all I get when it loads is a message saying “Steam not found, please start through Steam client”....

Some times, when reading Lemmy comments, it seems that some word in the comment was replaced with “removed”, in italics. Is the app censoring comments? Is my lemmy instance doing that? Is there a way to turn that off?...

Hey guys I am confused about how privacy friendly are lemmy and matrix I would love if someone can answer these questions :- 1.) some websites state that lemmy prefers you to have one user server (that is 1 server with only 1 user ) , but somewhere else i read that you need to whitelisted by servers to allow you to post on their...

I have an early 2000s PC (pre-SATA) with 512MB RAM (I’d love to tell you about the CPU, but its under a cooler that isn’t going anywhere) that’s been sitting in closets for about 15 years. Assuming I’m willing to buy into it, can something like that reasonably host the following simultaneously on a 40GB boot drive:...

I’m trying to understand what happens with optical drives in general, and failing....

For me it’s first person puzzle games. I can think of maybe a dozen off the top of my head that came out in the last decade. I especially enjoy when they’re open world. The ability to just quit a puzzle that’s stumped you and go try something else for a little bit is incredibly refreshing.

Pretty straight question....

Seems like the next logical step. Most big games are always-online Games as a Service where your local storage is useless if the company server doesn’t handshake. A lot of business and productivity software already requires subscriptions and is partially online. Every single fucking company wants to have an app on your phone...

I’m looking for suggestions. I have a rack in my office with up to 4U space available. I’m looking to set up a backup and storage solution to try and break free from services such as dropbox & google drive. I’d also love to run a few other things like homeassistant and potentially even Klipper for my 3d printer. I’d also...

Sun good; too much sun bad. Rain good; too much rain bad. Breeze good;, … It’s like the universe is telling us to enjoy alcohol, drugs, pizza, and sugar; but be careful and don’t overdo it.

Is there any opened instance of socialhome?

I recently bought the Sonnet Breakaway Box 750ex for my laptop. Some of the time when I plug it in, the eGPU actually turns on and works properly but most of the time, the PSU and board make faint clicking sounds (In the video below, I plugged in a louder 300W PSU to record the clicking. Both PSUs work ftr). I know that PSU...

I’m trying to install Proxmox on a server that is going to be running Home Assistant, a security camera NVR setup and other sensitive data, I need to have the drives be encrypted with automatic decryption of drives so the VMs can automatically resume after a power failure....

Is there a way to speed up extraction of 40+gb 4k videos? This is by far the most time consuming part of the process and I was wondering if there was any hardware acceleration or even multi cpu way of speeding this up....

The main reason for the Linux operating system not seeing widespread adoption is because of its multitude of distros. Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Mint… there are just so many choices, just like how when someone asks how to join the Fediverse people will response with “which instance?”...

Today I got my first proxmox server up and running, I’m looking for fun things to run in docker that archives things or just other cool stuff.
