List of useful BTRFS tools
Hi, I want to do an “awesome things” list with BTRFS tools...
Is dockStarter a waste of time?
Should I be learning docker compose instead of relying on dockStarter to manage my containers? I got portainer up, should I just use that to manage my stack?...
Is cloudflare breaking the internet or fixing it?
I am a plebe who doesn’t understand these things but what exactly does cloudflare do? I see it popping up more and more often redirecting before visiting a site. I assume that this has something to do with bot traffic? It seems like every mention of cloudflare is about how it ruined someone’s day.
Are shrunken heads a rights violation?
If we consider post-mortem rights to matter morally, then something like necrophilia or defiling someone’s body after their death would be immoral even if they don’t experience it (obviously) and even if they don’t have any family or loved ones around to witness it or know that it happened. As an extension of themself,...
Suggestions for Linux Distribution
I’ve been quite happy with my Steam Deck - both as a gaming console and as a secondary computer when it’s docked, but for newer titles I picked up a Rog Zephyrus M16 (2023) last year....
What's the closest thing you have to a life story/occurrence that would be the kind of story they'd tell on Untold Stories of the ER?
If someone were making a cartoon with you as one of the characters, what would your outfit be?
"Virgin" and "Fucker" are both used as insults. Damned if you "do it," damned if you don't "do it."
I'm so tired of hearing about US police brutality and China being authoritarian. Why does it feel like everyone is a hypocrite here? Where are the posts about Chinese protests and police brutality?
I bet if the kind of things happening in the US happened in China, I wouldn’t be able to stop hearing about it. I mean, people are still criticizing the Tiananmen Square massacre, and hasn’t anything happened since then? It’s like still making conspiracy theories about Kennedy’s assassination or 9/11, those are old news.
What some Lemmy communities that are dead or very low number of new posts that you would like to get more active?
My pick is /c/albumartporn
is there a search engine for the fediverse?
Since big part of the web is drowning in AI junk, including Reddit, is there a good search engine to find answers in the fediverse?
The future of desktop Linux might be like OpenSUSE Kalpa/Aeon
I’ve been running Tumbleweed for a few years now. It’s great, but it’s not 100% autopilot, updates often require manual intervention (resolving small problems) or updates try to add 50 packages I don’t need (recommends) all the time despite them not being in a pattern. I’ve been looking for a distro on which I could...
[Request] Any Guides to FFMPEG, Transcoding, Codecs, and Metadata?
I have a collection of about ~110 4K Blu-Ray movies that I’ve ripped and I want to take the time to compress and store them for use on a future Jellyfin server....
Wanting to dual boot Windows with Kubuntu. Am I fine getting a Windows 10 key instead of 11?
A couple of months ago, I wiped Windows off my old laptop and installed Kubuntu instead. Now, I was thinking of dual booting Windows additionally for a certain game (definitely not League of Legends, for sure not) and will need to buy a new key. Am I fine getting a copy of Windows 10 despite Microsoft’s discontinuation, or...
Anti malware that can detect cracks and flag them as so, but can also distinguish from trojact and malware? Also, that can be configured to don't use too many resources when not required
I was thinking, mbam, have you got other suggestions for Windows 10? Also, is there a good setup for when I’m running games I bought, and I don’t need active scanning of threats? (Especially for legit games that use resources intensively)
Are there any discrepancies between the resources an OS uses when running in a virtual machine vs being ran directly?
I recently found out about a Linux Distro named Q4OS and I wanted to test out their claim that it only requires 256 MB of ram when using the trinity desktop environment. However, when I used the live cd in virt-manager with 256 MB or ram, it just kernel panicked at boot. So I then tried it with 512 MB of ram. In addition to some...
Self hosted remote storage for VPS?
I’m currently running both a home server and a VPS. The former is not reachable through the internet, only through vpn. The latter hosts public services....
Should I use Windows built-in shrink feature to move partition space to another partition?

Safest way of using WeChat
I live in Canada. My girlfriend is Chinese (also living in Canada), and while we are able to communicate via SMS, her mobile carrier isn’t the best, and so there have often been issues for us with regular texting. She expressed a strong preference to use WeChat, at least as a backup option for when texting fails us. While I...
