How do I find news without using Social Media?
I have used YouTube, Reddit and Mastodon for news related to certain topics. Now I want to be more independent in finding my own news sources. However, there are so many sources on the internet I wouldn’t know where to begin to find them by myself.

Had this reflection that 144hz screens where the only type of screen I knew, that was not a multiple of 60. 60 Hz - 120hz - 240hz - 360hz...
Nvidia SUCKS!
I am trying to repeat my 10 Benchmarks video on my 3080M laptop, which I haven’t really used for a while apart from testing NVK. I had forgotten just HOW much Nvidia sucks. I had to reinstall the OS cause OpenSUSE stopped booting after I installed the drivers the first time. X11 is ALSO buggy on Nvidia and crashes randomly....

What is the most stable food production method?
Crops can blight, animals can get diseases. I don’t know much about hydroponics but I know that bacteria are a concern. What food source is the most reliable, the least likely to produce less food than expected?
Giving up on selfhosted email / Any sane email setups?
So I’ve been running self-hosted email using Mailu for a couple of months (after migrating out of Google Workspace).

With PLEX blocking Hetzner Hosting, I'm thinking of Moving to Jellyfin, but I have some questions.
I use Hetzner as a seedbox and then have PLEX as my media server ran on the same hardware. It’s worked perfectly fine for years. But recently PLEX says they will be blocking Hetzner hosting in the next few weeks. I’ve been considering moving to Jellyfin for a while, but I’m worried they will do the same thing in future....

Before reading i thought that it would be similar to 1984 or Brave new world which it kind of is but its also very very different. Right from the Beginning i was hooked. I really love Orwells Books but this one is my favourite. I did not expect that. So...
Is there a proper way to use several DE's on one distro or is it not advised?

People often talk about swapping out plastic straws for other materials to help the ocean/fish and the environment, but they also complain about paper straws falling apart easily. Other alternatives that are slightly more sturdy like straws made of straw don’t seem very common....
