Hi, I’m relatively new here. Like probably a lot of people, I appended the word “reddit” to most of my searches to get discussions around my interests/news or to find “curated” things. I noticed that it does not work as great with “Lemmy” for example, as the user base is more spread out and smaller in general....

on gentoo for example I have accrued a few files under /etc/portage that to my knowledge just have to live there…...

There should be a universal community search engine for the Fediverse where you type in a community description or keyword and the service returns a list of all similar communities across all of the instances. It should be called Feddle (the Fediverse Google.)

I grew up an avid gamer. But now, among my 50-hour work week, helping my kids with their math homework, grocery shopping, and house chores, I’m no longer able to find enough free time to really dive into a game. I mostly play casual games that I can drop in and out of but forget about the 40hr+ games requiring commitment....

I have an old Subnotebook (at least 10 years old I think) which runs Windows 7 atm. I would like to run Linux on it. I‘m a Linux noob, but would like to try and learn a few things. Any recommendations?

I have been trying to understand how the caching of content from other Lemmy instances works. From what I have gathered, the local Lemmy instance will automatically download and store posts made to any communities that are followed by users on the local instance....

I wanted to major in physics when I went to college in 2013 (I’m 28 now), but had to drop out and have flushed out a lot of information. A lot of basic concepts are still there, but I’d need a lot of refreshers going back to like algebra lol. I’d love to get back in to studying in my free time, but I’ve completely...

For my phone, I use Graphene OS. What would be the best desktop Linux option to match the level of security and privacy that GOS provides?

What are your most liked alias for long commands or just to give them better names....

I think apps become really relevant in the federated world, as it allows to manage multiple accounts at the same time, in the same place, allowing for quick switching, etc, while simplifying so much workflow (and making server requests lighter too!)....

My goal is to be able to sync podcast episodes (the actual audio files) and their play state (played or unplayed, how many minutes I’ve already listened to) between devices, so I can stop listening to an episode on my phone, for example, and continue listening to the same episode on my desktop computer (continuing from the...

I’m on Ubuntu using Firefox browser. I get the notifications from reddit on my desktop. On the top toolbar, there is a bell icon where I can find unread notifications from telegram, firefox (from the sites allowed to send notifications), the package manager (about software updates) …ect. Whenever someone replies to my post...

I mean we can sort by new or hot or active etc. But can we add more algorithms that people can then choose. For example id love to be able to have an algorithm that allows me to rate communities so I could say rate a meme community 1 and a chess community 10 so I only see the best of the meme community and most of thr chess...

I always hear people/actors/directors say, this tape or film is x meters long, it is this size, etc. do they really still use physical film? If so why aren’t they using terabytes of storage in a way more compact form?

I am currently expanding my Homelab setup, and want to buy a 10TB drive, for media storage. It’s a Seagate Ironwolf disk, so perfect for the job. But, it’s second hand. It was originally bought in 2019, but stopped being used after 2022. Only used for static storage, it’s been booted less than 50 times. I can get it for...

The title is a play on the TNG episode “The Inner Light”, where Picard is hit by a beam from a Kataan probe that makes him live out a lifetime of memories in the space of less than an hour. A similar probe last appeared in LD: “In the Cradle of Vexilon”....

First things first, the setup is currently up and running. but i would like to modify it to use a reverse proxy through my personal domain....
