I have an old x86_64 computer which I am planning to use as a NAS. Which of the 2 is a better option? Is it helpful or better to run on bare metal or as a VM on proxmox?

Is there any app for filebrowsing / up and downloading files to a selfhosted MinIO server or any other S3 compatible object storage? Most apps only work with AWS 🫤

so I could tell which one goes in which eye without glasses.

Hi everyone!...

Since this would be considered piracy these days, has anyone bothered to reverse-engineer how Vortex handles collections, so they can just be imported straight to Mod Organizer?...

Just started playing GTA IV on the Steam Deck after having it sitting in my Steam library for years. It’s really fun. I really like the protagonist, the setting, and it’s openness. It’s a bit more tame than GTA V which I have played as well and I prefer the more subdued tone.

As title. F1TV has blocked VPN access. So no more F1TV from the UK. I refuse to spend £40 a month to Sky for like 20ish races a year....

I own a Garmin Dash Cam, and one of the features is red light and speed cameras alerts, however this feature is hidden behind a subscription, the camera doesn’t require internet connection all the time, so theoretically the files could be reverse engineered. I tried to do a quick google search but got nothing, does anybody...

I’m a newb and ran the recommended mitigation code to set a chicken bit on my processor. After running it there was no indication that it worked. Is there a simple way to use rdmsr to check?...

Any Picopresso users on here? How are you enjoying it? I’m tempted, but a bit worried it’s a gadget that might just end up unused.

I’ve seen many people have insane setups to download things automatically and NAS’ with tens of terabytes of capacity, which i don’t understand at all....

I’m looking to re-purpose an old desktop into a multi-purpose home server. I’m looking for some advise on how to set things up in a way that won’t bite me in the ass later. I’m a confident Linux user, but have limited docker experience. I’m looking at using TrueNAS scale for: straight cloud storage, syncthings, home...

Tried the coffee at McDo last night. Friends had told me for years that it is very serviceable and always fresh but I’m fairly snooty when it comes to coffee. Anyhow, in my opinion, they were right. I’ve had plenty of homemade stuff that was far worse. Price doesn’t break the bank, at a buck fifty, and it comes out at a...

There are more efficient formats like JPEG-XL, HEIF and WebP. If you convert the RAW -> JPEG -> WebP you are losing more quality. I think iPhone uses HEIF format....

How do you guys read books that you don’t feel like reading?...

I have an RG353V currently running ArkOS. Works great, plugged it into my TV and looks great there too. Tried both a USB Xbox controller and PS3 controller and neither seem to be recognized (both of which I know Linux kernel models exist to support). Wanted to pick up a couple of SNES style controllers (kids mostly play Nintendo...

Hello, I’m not sure where to ask this. But my login fails through every web browser. I can do a password reset, which logs me in. But then I cannot log in with the new password using another web browser. Anyone else having this issue?...

Mishaal Rahman and FragmentedChicken are in South Korea for Samsung Unpacked!...

As most of the Lemmy users are security/privacy minded, after a question about alternative voices I’m wondering. Why would you allow a virtual assistance to spy on you constantly? (Especially when you don’t need to due to other limitations)...

I want to unlock the ability to view content on my mobile device. I can do that with a one-time purchase (payed with google opinion rewards) or with a subscription. I want to unlock the ability for my entire family though, across multiple devices. Do I have to pay the “one-time payment” for every device? If so, the plex...

As a kid i loved watching the next generation and deep space 9 with my dad. Ive always liked sci fi, more of a (stargate fan) and wanted to get back into star trek, but Im just so lost on timelines and whats going on. There are like 6 kirks and I have no idea how/where to get started with watching this again.

I looked on search-lemmy.com and couldn’t find this answer, so I figure I’ll ask here....
