The internet used to be where you found the latest information. But it’s old enough that you could easily find info on 10-20 year old articles that are out of date and irrelevant

Hey all! This may be kind of a dumb post as I know I need to make this decision myself, but I‘d sure love some advice. My oldest dog is 11, going on 12. The poor girl is diabetic, blind, has fatty lipomas, and mobility issues due to diabetes, breed, and age. This morning, we are fairly sure she had a stroke of some sort (the...

I wanted to get my mom YouTube Premium for her birthday but don’t want to pay the ridiculous annual price for my country (especially since she mostly just watches YouTube shorts). She uses an iPhone so trying to get adblocker would be too much of a hassle, especially if it stops working. She won’t be able to figure out how...

I’m running stock Linux Mint and when I try to set 16:9 aspect ratio on my 32:9 monitor it stretches the resolution on whole monitor. On Windows it works by putting the screen in the middle of the monitor. I was wondering if something like that is possible on Mint.

All the ingredients are there and it won’t take much to put it all together.

I already know the replies are gonna make me feel sad 😭

So I have Debrid + Stremio and Torrentino; I’m wondering how unchained will help me. Does it add links or do I have to manually add links to my library.

I’ve tried getting into peertube to have something to watch. I’m exploring copyleft music on open audio / funkwhale. I’m on here in lemmy as of this week. I’m playing with mastodon and the fediverse. I’ve tried studying psychology and psychology-adjacent territory like Deleuze and Guattari and Foucault and Derrida so I...

This shit ass site proposes a paying plan for downloading student notes and I’m so fucking tired at the idea that they basically got a monopoly on it. How can I download the docs?

With all of the sketchy products Amazon has and their bad practices, I’m really considering getting rid of Amazon. The only thing I will really miss is the fast shipping....

finally got access to CGPeers and snatched a copy of NukeX, I’m still worried that Foundry will still somehow snatch my hardware ID and send me a threatening email. I’ve already wiped Nuke and all related files from my hardware and nuked my foundry account, anything else I could do in order to shield myself a bit more before...

EDIT : It seems as no one understood what i was talking about and maybe its my fault for not elaborating . I always thought chicken was a metaphor for this paradox and not really meaning chicken as a specific spiece . So my question is how did the ancestor of chicken came to be if it was born (egg) wouldn’t it need a parent or...

Do we have a place somewhere to post/request invites for private torrent trackers?

If someone had the Rune version of the game, what do they need to run the updates to get to at least have fsr2 in the game?

Hey,...

I’ve done a little bit of searching but everything that comes up is about moving vm to vm hosts. I am currently running PiHole and Tailscale on a Pi Zero W 1.1 but it’s hammering the CPU (I assume Tailscale). I also have an always-on Windows Optiplex 3070 that’s running HomeAssistant on a VMWare vm. I found a $65 Optiplex...

What’s best practice to safely play pirated games on Linux? Looking to mitigate potentially malicious executables from wrecking havoc on my system.

I know that a lot of what Nix does is working around its break from FHS, but I can imagine there are still things that seep through. Are there any unsolvable problems due to this?...

Lost Odyssey is a JRPG that started as a collaboration between Final Fantasy grandfather Hironobu Sakaguchi’s independent studio Mistwalker and Microsoft for the Xbox 360. With a script written by Sakaguchi himself, it’s a by-the-numbers entry in the genre but with an inspired idea to insert a collection of short stories...

I’m thinking about moving my PC out to the living room and streaming back to my office when I need to. I’ve used a number of moonlight clients with mixed results....

Edit: thanks everyone for the suggestions. In the end I decided to buy a icy box usb3.1 4xhdd enclosure for around 100€. In the description it says it only works with mac and windows, but my Linux laptop works well with it, I guess the pi will to as well. I will print an enclosure for the power brick and the pi to screw to the...

When I first installed Lutris I was just starting with Linux, so I went with the .deb since pop shop showed me that first… now I have several games and hundreds of hours of playtime and I’d rather keep everything (both playtime and Wine configurations… prefixes and all) as is but also move to flatpak since updating via...

Anyone have suggestions for a 10 year old who likes comic mischief? He’s a huge fan of diary of a wimpy kid series but his reading level has moved beyond that. He’s also really enjoyed the wild robot series, Matilda, and the skunk and fox books....

I am about to buy one. What do you recommend for a jellyfin setup with it?...
