Hey selfhosters,...

I’ve got a fairly new 14tb Seagate Expansion. It works fine, and I’ve been using it for a month and a bit....

Ubuntu seems like it has the best compatibility, but any other suggestions for data wrangling, data analysis, data visualization, and machine learning in Julia, Python and R?

I have a jellyfin instance running with radarr/sonarr/… for my media needs on my vps....

I’ve had this reoccurring thing every year or so where I remember this book I read in like 5th - 6th grade that was really fucking good every year or so. I need to find it, I try every time but no amount of Googling thin recollections of its plot has got me anywhere.

I often hear of people in work from home opportunities but I find them so rare to come across. What sites / resources do you use to find remote work opportunities? Which companies still do work from home?...

I’ve been daily driving Pop!_OS for about two years. I’ve had to troubleshoot and look up how to solve problems here and there, but it has largely been pain free. About eight months ago I had to dual boot Windows 10 because my wife wanted to play Hogwarts and for the life of me I couldn’t get Linux to stream to the client...

I’m playing with a couple of routers and comparing proprietary to open source on the same hardware. I miss my .bashrc functions and aliases… and compgen, tree, manpages, detailed help, etc; the little things that get annoying when they are missing....

F.Y.I: This is a thought experiment, Not a prediction, that I am trying out and I would like feedback. I got the idea from a forecasting book where you choose something true today and flip it so it isn’t true 10 years from now plus giving the reason why (the book’s name was imaginable). I am trying to do that and include a...

First, I would like to thank this community for being an understanding, open-minded and Novice friendly like myself. I have learned a lot in the past few weeks thanks to this community, unlike Reddit’s toxic communities where asking a question is illegal....

I recently was gifted a raspberry pi 5 and was looking at domains to buy to host my own instance. What happens to my instance if the domain expires?...

Imagine you could give a Christmas gift to anyone, famous or not, what you would give and to whom? And why?...

for those who dont know, crostini is a feature available for chromeos that lets you install a debian container and has a cute terminal and lets you install linux software (can be from flathub, github, etc!!! woa!!). i love it so much and use it daily for programming python on my chromebook and crostini is what i mean when i say...

Edit: Looks like the GOG version is available for OS X, so I’m hoping that’ll work. I guess I was just a little tipsy when looking at the GOG page since it’s the holidays and missed it. Also, I didn’t think about Steam gift cards/PayPal. That’s another way of getting games on Steam without giving payment info. Thanks...

I’m currently running kubuntu 23.10 and have been distro hopping a lot lately. I’m going to continue to do so but the tedium of saving everything off is a royal pain....

And if you’ve made strides in reversing that stigma, how have you done so?

Nothing too shabby, but still. To run it you need docker, and after that just type...

Well I’ve joined the “accidentally trashing your system with rm -rf” club! Luckily I didn’t delete my home directory with all the things I care about, but I did delete /boot and /usr, and maybe /var (long story, boils down to me trying to delete non-system directories named those but reflexively adding the slash in front...

For example, in English the word right (opposite of left) and right (privileges, as in human rights) are homonyms. In Spanish, derecho/a also means both of those things. Don’t the concepts behind those words predate the cross-pollination of the two languages? Why do they share this homonym quality?

Which do you think is the better microblogging platform? Why?

I notice programming stuff leaks into my thinking and writing often but I actually enjoy the various constructs that help clarify thinking. I don’t have any formal background in logic tho :(...

I’m having a meeting to set mine up on Thursday. My company matches 3%, and that’s what I’m putting in....

This laptoo has Fn as default instead of F keys. I hate it. I found several solutions for different vendors to switch state in bios. Is that the only option?

Hi,...

Hey folks, I’m at my wits end. I’ve been screwing with proxmox for years now, but I’m at a tipping point. I’ve just used consumer SSDs in it to run my VMs off of - but I just realized after a dozen or so crashes over the last week that I think the SSDs are the culprit. (Really, really terrible write speeds leading to...
