First time using Steam+Proton in Linux. HOLY SHIT!
Ok so a little background first. I’m an older millennial. I started using Linux when I was in college back in 2001. It was Mandrake Linux back then. I had an Asus V6800 DDR Deluxe graphics card with 3D shutter glasses and video-in for video capture....
What were some movies you had to look up explanations of after watching?
Beau is Afraid was the last one I recall. I think it was mostly the latter half of the movie where I started to get a bit confused and needed the ending explained to me....
What are your thoughts on fiber through the city?
After 16 years of living in my city, they will finally have city-wide fiber internet. I’m pretty stoked because the fastest internet I could possibly have is a WISP at 50gbps down and 10gbps up. Now I will finally have gigabit but it’s through the city, and I’m wondering if they will be more strict on illegal content...
Today I was reminded how bad YouTube ads are
I watched a Warframe (game) YouTube video on the Steam integrated browser, without beeing connected to my account and Holly s* it was horrible....

Lightweight distro for home server?
I’m refurbishing an old PC to work as a home server for several stuff. I’m looking for a lightweight distribution to install in it, but with a decent package repository. A small image size will be appreciated, as I have slow bandwidth too.
Fediverse sustainability
I prefer good faith discussions please. I love the Fediverse and love what it can be long term. The problem is that parts of the culture want nothing to do with financial aspect. Many are opposed to ads, memberships, sponsorships etc The “small instances” response does nothing to positively contribute to the conversation....
Anyone else moved from kbin to lemmy?
I noticed that kbin has stalled in development recently and the ongoing problems with federation etc. made me use it even less for the past few weeks. I even spent more time on reddit than here....

Mastodon vs BlueSky
How is you experience using them ? (I know BlueSky is invite only, but perhaps someone got lucky) I registered in Mastodon recently and i’m getting the same feeling(and problems) when started using lemmy.

Which version of a distro to install?
Hi Linux- how important is it to install, say Debian, the version that is specifically made for your hardware? For example, if I have a Rock64 SBC, do I have to install Debian-rock64.img or can I just go with Debian-arm64.img? Will I lose performance/features if using generic arm64 image, or conversely, will I gain...
why do some people prefer peanuts over other nuts?
So I have a pretty severe peanut allergy which means Ive never purposely ate a peanut and have therefore never tasted one without being in panic mode. People have told me that they taste like regular nuts which just makes me more confused. If you were given a selection of other nuts like cashews and almonds, what would compel...
Can you take the lint from your dryer and make clothing?
I know its not quite that simple, I’d have to make thread first, and after I get enough, make clothing out of it. Could this actually be done? I can sew, but never made my own clothing nor have I ever made thread, so I don’t know if it could actually be done or not. I’m 100% sure the time and effort would not be worth it,...
HTML posting?
Any way to create posts using original (not scraped) HTML? Easier to put together and looks better. If not, I’d sure like to see that happen.
Eyebrows are mustaches for your eyes.
Furthermore, eyebrows are facial hair and everyone who has eyebrows also has visible facial hair.

why are german private trackers such a mess?
I highly appreciate all trackers and the work everyone puts into it but the longer I’m part of the system, the longer I see that nothing really changes (2/3 years time horizon). Most websites are old, on 9 out of 10 trackers it’s incredibly difficult (time intensive) to upload torrents. Innovation and rules are also very...
On what basis do you think community moderators should be appointed?
Asking specifically because of the situation over at !worldnews. I see that recently, there has been an open call for moderators - lemmy.ml/post/5277453 - with the following requirements:...
