Do you still get the "it's Friday!" feeling?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad I don’t have to go to work for a few days. But I don’t quite get the same excitement for the weekend that I used to. I hope that you do! If so, how do you cultivate that feeling?
Install Linux distros without grub??
I use rEFInd as my boot manager and sometimes I like to dual boot a new linux distro (just to try out) which I install with a live USB. Unfortunately, after installing, GRUB has always taken the reigns and it becomes a slight inconvenience to get back to rEFInd every time....

Should I learn Docker or Podman?
Hi, I’ve been thinking for a few days whether I should learn Docker or Podman. I know that Podman is more FOSS and I like it more in theory, but maybe it’s better to start with docker, for which there is a lot more tutorials. On the other hand, maybe it’s better to straight up learn podman when I don’t know any of the...
[Question/Issue] In Game and Discord randomly no Audio
When I’m in-game (using steam and proton-ge or just proton) and have Discord open, I sometimes (or better often, just not predictable), have no sound. I can’t hear the system-sound anymore (including discord) but my microphone works fine, meaning others in a discord call for example can still hear me. When I have Spotify...

Are you reusing one postgres instance for all services?
I have many services running on my server and about half of them use postgres. As long as I installed them manually I would always create a new database and reuse the same postgres instance for each service, which seems to me quite logical. The least amount of overhead, fast boot, etc....
Does anyone know of a half-way decent FOSS alternative to Kega Fusion?
To start off, I just want to say that Kega Fusion is a wonderful emulator for pre–Sega Saturn emulation. However, the fact that it is not open-source concerns me. What if something happens and the person is required to take it down? (Not likely after 14 years but still…) Or hell they just decide to take it down for whatever...
