As shown in protodb, it doesn't seem to be too much compatible yet. You can try to see if there is something available on Lutris or you can open an issue on GitHub (if it doesn't exist)

flint5436 , to showerthoughts in Why do we use base 60 for time and base 10 for everything else. Why has no one decided to integrate it.

Yeah, but honestly i think both are kinda stupid. we should use something sensible like base 16(easy conversion to binary but better readability) or base 12(easily divisible by 2, 3 and 4).

Hart_of_Grei , to selfhosted in backup game servers

Kinda depends where you have them hosted/what you are using to host them, but proxmox has a VM snapshot function that I like

Froyn , to selfhosted in would it make sense to host something on my main machine?

It would make sense if you're using your main machine to test the waters with to see if it's worth getting invested.
So your pihole as an example would work as follows:

  1. Install Docker.
  2. Follow the docs to install the container/image/etc. for pihole
  3. Change your home router's DNS entries to now START with your main machine.
    --Your main machine goes offline for the night, your home router uses the secondary as does everything else that's now been taught by DHCP to use your main machine for primary DNS.
  4. Make your call and break it all back to where it started.

With the primary DNS being a "local", I can't imagine it taking that long to realize it's offline and change to the secondary DNS on most devices. Make sure you set your "main machine" to a Static/DHCP Reserved IP on the home router, as a good general practice.

Other things I self-host are media related. I like to watch media from bed instead of in front of the computer. I turn my computer off when I'm not at it.
I could see if you were like hosting a local repository maybe. Like you want that whole "self-hosted" GitHub experience. That would be a decent use case for main machine hosting. Or VMs for testing different environments.

boothin ,

Just fyi how a client handles multiple DNS servers might not always be you expect and just depends on how it was implemented. Some clients can just send a DNS request to all DNS servers at once and take whatever responds first, essentially randomizing which DNS server gets used

Froyn ,

And a local will always respond faster than non-local, unless that local is turned off.

metacolon , to linux in Share your terminal emulator theme configuration
@metacolon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

st (simple terminal from Suckless) with Solarized Dark color scheme. That’s it - it’s super fast, super simple, super lightweight, and still looks really pleasing. That is, if I am in a window-manager-workflow-mood (then in combination with dwm); otherwise I use the TTY with default configuration, except for the color scheme also being Solarized Dark. Why so minimal? I have a really old ThinkPad and it runs really smoothly with those configurations in Debian.

macaronidildo , to books in What did everyone read in June?

Kept it pretty lowkey in June, read only two books: Loop by Koji Suzuki (3rd book in the Ring series) and Osamu Dazai’s recently translated The Flowers of Buffoonery.

3 Mbps upload should be fine for hosting text and images on your server. As long as you are mostly consuming content from other servers and you don’t have many viral posts your VDSL should work.

kaotic , to nostupidquestions in What are your favorite, durable shoes for office work?

I keep a pair of Vionic shoes in my drawer at work. I usually wear boots when I’m on my motorcycle but will change into my Vionics while at work.

TheBaldness , to technology in A Move to a More Ethical Phone (Later)

Buy a used phone off eBay, then you aren’t supporting any manufacturer, and you can get whatever phone you want.

NeccoNeko ,

If you’re paying for any software on your phone (e.g., games or productivity apps) you’re still likely giving the manufacturer money.

If you use any apps on your phone (e.g., the web browser or email) they can still collect analytics on you and sell that data.

If you pay for subscriptions through any of those same apps, again more money going to them.

If you buy too old of phones you’ll be left without critical updates, either very soon or right away, that protect your privacy and personal/financial data.

These corporations still win and you still lose.

TheBaldness ,

Unlocked bootloader and a custom ROM like LineageOS. I’ve never even seen an advertisement on my phone, much less pay to use software.

NeccoNeko ,

Then you can’t pick from any manufacturer. You have to get a phone that can only run android and can be rooted. That vastly narrows down your choices.

baltakatei , to selfhosted in Recommend me an RSS feed reader

Thunderbird’s Blogs and News Feeds feature. Allows me to backup RSS feed data alongside my emails in MBOX format via the ImportExportTools NG add-on.

@tinwhiskers@kbin.social avatar

For the love of God, no! It ain't a host if it ain't up. This will just end up being very annoying.

IndisposedShakerCup , to nostupidquestions in Do you believe Lemmy/Mastodon can become mainstream and fully replace their centralized counterparts?

Possibly, but I kind of don’t want to see it happen. I like the smaller communities here. Feels like my people here and I just joined not even a week ago

tinwhiskers , to fediverse in Facebook alternative?
@tinwhiskers@kbin.social avatar

Which fediverse software is the best pile-of-dogshit alternative? hmm.

Time for a new direction. You're already here!

Driftking , to nostupidquestions in Reddit users lost?

I can still use Rif, just mot logged in. Still works as my nsfw source. I just use both reddit and lemmy. Lol

Motavader , to fediverse in Is there a fediverse tool to replace something like discogs? I know there is BookWyrm for books, but is there anything kind of like that for music collections? I've tried googling and haven't found an

Just curious - what’s wrong with Discogs? Is it just that it’s centralized?

Emperor OP ,
@Emperor@feddit.uk avatar

I suspect that once you have the Fediverse bug, you want everything federated. BookWyrm has demonstrated that this works well and that has got a lot of minds racing trying to figure out what else this can be applied to. While Discogs doesn’t have the level of issues Goodreads or IMDb have, it is popular and seems like a prime candidate for the same kind of treatment.
