Hiya! I’m following a gamedev degree in university. It’s been a major challenge doing it from Linux, as everything is Windows stuff (.sln Visual Studio projects, DirectX API, excel graphs…). However I’ve gotten by by making my own tools and dipping into WINE when it gets too difficult. I’m replacing my laptop due to...
Hi, I need to download like 500GB to 1TB of mp3 music, it doesn’t matter from which streaming service to pirate, I just need a tool which can categorize in folders by artist/playlist name and Title.mp3 archives,...
I have a calibre server setup on my home server and was wondering how to sync it to the version on my desktop so I can upload books to an ereader using USB.
everyone talking about dune, i finally wanted to watch it asap. there’s nowhere to buy discs anymore that had it (besides barnes and noble which is a drive and costs $35 – amazon, even with prime, would take a week (???)) so i resigned to sTrEamInG it from TNT....
Been keeping a keen eye on Bazzite as it seems like a good distro for people like myself who mainly use the desktop pc to play games on. But it doesn’t seem like a “typical” distro for a daily driver? How does Bazzite for example differ from Nobara which is another gaming-oriented distro? I’m just curious as I keep...
I had this shower thought earlier and I actually wanted to post it in that community. The name I came up with was SmartWalkman, but later I realized that Walkman is Sony specific, so I doubt other companies would’ve gone for that name, but I didn’t want to let this shower thought slip so here I am now asking you guys.
So I’m trying to play around with Fedora in a VM with VMWare Workstation Player (v17.5.1) but I’m running into a problem I don’t know how to solve. I use the Fedora 39 1.5 ISO file which is the most current version that’s available for download and after installing it in the VM everything works fine. I setup the install...
I can set it up . This idea popped into my head after i joined some good foss telegram channels and i personnely think matrix is not there yet also telegram does supports third party apps there are some privacy concerns but i don’t think it matters to our use case and it is all speculation but matrix instance hoster could be...
Trying to find a ready to go image for a Raspberry Pi 5, either RetroPie or Batocera (or others I’m not aware of) for retro gaming. I know of Arcade Punks, but is there any other resource? Tried downloading a 128GB image from them and its taking forever due to no seeders. I did check megathread but wasn’t able to find...

Why do some languages use gendered nouns? It seems to just add more complexity for no benefit.
Is there anyone else that isn’t on Samsung or using the Samsung APK of Google Messages that actually HAS customizable bubbles?...
Hello, I have a grievance and need a proper solution. It seems that TP-Link’s Deco mesh WiFi APs don’t tag the three SSIDs to vlans (and they see no operational issue with this), and I would like to make the most use out of the “iot” network they provide to separate smart devices from my own. I could do by IP and assign...
Anyone have experience getting an HP EliteBook 840 G2 to boot from M.2? There’s only one setting in BIOS to enable it, and it’s enabled by default. Latest BIOS update. It’s in the boot order. It’s even seen when pressing F9 for boot options. I see MX23 but no grub (under legacy) or EFI files found in the ESP partition...
I was recently involuntarily held in a mental hospital where I went through prison like conditions (strip search, had to wear scrubs, was locked in a room outside certain times a day, stuff like that) and thankfully came out in one piece after 8 days of this crap. I was just wondering why we subject people to these conditions...
I’ve been working on a small project called bdockerimg....
It’s a sign that at least some of the ultra-rich are anxious about global events and are making contingency plans for the Big One — whatever form that may take....
I’ve got drunken slug and nzbgeek but so far sonarr hasn’t found any releases. Wondering if anyone has found it somewhere maybe I could add that provider to improve my results.
Yesterday, as part of the discussions related to Lemmy current inability to delete all user content I wrote a proposal: if enough people stepped up to help with funding, I’d take my work on my Fediverser project (which already has an admin web tool that “knows” how to interface with Lemmy) to solve all the GDPR-specific...
One use of LLMs that I haven’t seen mentioned before is to use them as a sounding board for your own ideas. By discussing your concept with an LLM, you can gain fresh perspectives through its generated responses....
