housepanther , to linux in Linux and QEMU/KVM Virtual Manager issue [Help Me]
@housepanther@lemmy.goblackcat.com avatar

Try re-creating the VM from scratch but keep the virtual HD. Sometimes this fixes similar issues. At least you don’t have to worry about TPM2 emulation with Windows 10. That’s a big positive.

joel_feila , to linux in Why is snaps hated
@joel_feila@lemmy.world avatar

Mostly it has to do with how Canonical owns the snap store. if they made it so anyone could build a snap repo then a lot fewer peopl would have problems

eyecreate , to selfhosted in Are NUC hardware good for self hosting?

I have a 2015 NUC I use as my server with next cloud, immich, jellyfin, gitlab and more. Mostly, I wish I put more ram in and could have two internal drives, but otherwise I love the form factor.

may_pretender , to linux in What terminal file manager that you use, if any?

I mostly use a gui file manager, but when I do use a terminal based one I use ranger. Haven’t tried others, I just like this one.

interesting_bat , to gaming in In which game did you spend the most hours?

Counter-Strike:Global Offensive. 1800 hours or so. Picking it up again the past few days and god damn am I trash after having not played regularly for years.

czech , to selfhosted in SBC with 2 SD card slots?
@czech@no.faux.moe avatar

You'd be better off with something that has an EMMC slot (or ideally SATA connection). Running the OS off of an SD card is painfully slow. I've also found USB storage to be way more reliable than SD cards, in general. I used an external 4-bay drive connected via usb3 for years and never had issues. Burned through many SD cards over the same period.

MigratingtoLemmy OP ,

Hi, do you suggest a USB drive (the small ones from Samsung/Sandisk) as primary/secondary storage? Should I run the OS on it too?

Actually, at this point I might even consider running a mini PC with 3 slots for storage drives (2 SATA + 1 NVME/2 NVME + 1 SATA, etc). Know anything I can use?

czech ,
@czech@no.faux.moe avatar

The mini PC is your best bet. I only have ARM SBCs but they have a lot of limitations. If I needed something new it would likely be a used mini PC. I dont have any suggestions unfortunately. I saw something posted a couple weeks ago that was some university surplus- $30 used mini PC's, including the case- which will run circles around any ARM SBC. I think shipping was another $30 but still a great deal. Find something like that.

MigratingtoLemmy OP , (edited )

Thanks, I’m looking at Lenovo and Dell mini PCs, they look nice.

Cheers

JoelJ , to showerthoughts in Asians are not just Korean, Chinese and Japanese people

Sure but that’s a huge list, so it’s easier to subdivide into South East Asian, South Asian, and Middle Eastern.

Red1C3 , to linux in What terminal file manager that you use, if any?

I’ve tried ranger for some while, pretty neat, but I haven’t tried other terminal file mangers tho

DogMuffins , to nostupidquestions in Why do people self-harm?

Hey OP, I know you mean well and are genuinely curious, but once you have your answer you should consider deleting this post.

Discussion of most things in most formats is good, but discussing suicide and self harm is tricky. It can trigger suicidal thoughts, it can make sufferers feel ostracised, it can discourage people from seeking help.

It’s great that you don’t feel a compulsion to harm yourself, but try to imagine how it would feel for someone trying to resist that compulsion for weeks on end to read anecdotes from dozens of people about the just don’t get it.

raltoid , (edited )

Deleting it goes against the premise of “No stupid questions”. Hiding information in a place literally made to give out information without judging the question, is literally the opposite of the intent.


Many questions posted here are easily answer through wikipedia, and people might ask them in a place like this for a multitude of reasons. One of them being that they avoid looking it up directly as a way to limit themselves getting triggered from the pictures or text that might be there, and just want a more summarized answer to their question.

DogMuffins ,

There are plenty of subjects inappropriate for this sub.

I’m sure I don’t need to enumerate them for you.

I think a discussion around whether this type of question is appropriate is entirely healthy, as there may be ramifications which are not immediately clear.

rhacer , (edited )

We are all responsible for our own mental health. The OP is not responsible for anyone’s mental health but his own.

Saying some discussion needs to be hidden away because someone somewhere may react negatively is patently ridiculous and damaging to society.

I have a trigger, and just like my self-harm it is atypical, I am triggered by parents showing pride in their children. Doesn’t matter if it’s real life, or film, or book. It always turns me into a wreck, and sometimes has me believing I’m worthless in dangerous ways.

Should my expectation be that those around me not show pride in their children? Should I demand warnings on all material that depicts parents showing pride in their children? It’s ridiculous. My trigger is MY responsibility.

DogMuffins ,

Media doesn’t report on suicide or self harm except in cases where it’s justified by public interest. (Interest as in “needs to know” not interest as in “curious”). Is that patently ridiculous?

Or maybe seeing this habit be discussed openly and without prejudice will help some people to feel less like a freak for doing it when they realize that others do too, or will encourage them to seek help.

I know it's a horse of a different color, but the last time my depression got really bad I started smoking. I felt awfully guilty about it for months until my therapist said that it was natural for me to seek out endorphins however I could when I was failing to get them the natural way. That relieved the guilt, which in turn made me less psychologically dependent on cigarettes. Accepting that I smoked and that it was not ideal but still okay actually helped me to quit smoking later on, coupled with my regular therapy. Why would you deny that to people with other unhealthy habits? Or maybe you think that inhaling cancer smoke several times per day isn't a form of self-harm?

DogMuffins ,

Discussing something with a therapist is an entirely different proposition to reading about it online.

Peruvian_Skies ,
@Peruvian_Skies@kbin.social avatar

And why does that imply that reading about it online isn't helpful?

DogMuffins ,

It doesn’t imply that it isn’t helpful.

Clearly, there are risks around this type of discussion which a therapist is trained to manage.

SCB , to nostupidquestions in Data privacy: how to counter the "I have nothing to hide" argument?

It’s less that people have nothing to hide and more that you’re not really sacrificing any privacy

totallyahuman , to asklemmy in If you could have one small thing as a superpower. What would it be and why?

When I tell my wife to calm down, she gets in a better mood and not a worse one.

Tenoteve ,

Instead of saying “calm down” try to say “I hear you” and actually listen. Might be the super power you seek

milkjug , to selfhosted in Are NUC hardware good for self hosting?
@milkjug@lemmy.world avatar

I’m running all my microservices on a couple of repurposed NUC5i5RYKs, running Ubuntu Server 22.04 (I know I know) and Docker. They’ve been absolutely rock steady thus far, though not quite as overkill as I like all my computers to be. But I got them in 2015 and they’ve held up more than admirably.

chamaeleon , to selfhosted in what is the current recommendation for a simple home NAS?
@chamaeleon@kbin.social avatar

Since I can't see any other reference to it, I want to mention I'm using openmediavault and export smb mounts for my windows computers and NFS for Linux. It is running in a VM in proxmox. Works well enough for me. It is my in house backup destination, and my Plex media files storage (plex is running in a container on the same proxmox host).

Like most and probably every other mentioned solution, accessing the nas/shared storage is not more difficult than just opening windows explorer on windows and selecting the network location, etc. I'm sure it is easy on Mac as well, but I don't use apple products myself.

I think others have covered most of it, but wanted to add that self-harm is often a coping mechanism for sexual assault.
