    Why? There's a bunch of different possibilities that can happen directly related to NG+. The game feels like it's meant to be played endlessly with it.

  • How's the combat compared to DOS2?
  • Jamoke Jamoke Now 100%

    I'm doing my first playthrough on Explorer mode and I'm pretty OP. I am terrible at these games. Compared to DOS:2 the game is a breeze, truly. I could probably bump the difficulty up to Balanced mode and still be fine.

    In other words, the combat is much more accessible than DOS:2 in my opinion.

  • Happy sysadmin day!

    Check out Kavita! It sounds perfect for what you're doing and I have had literally 0 issues using all of their built-in features. It's a surprisingly stable and full-fledged open-source product.

  • What are YOU self-hosting?
  • Jamoke Jamoke Now 100%

    I would go back if it was easy. The speed difference from just getting a listing of contents in a large directory over SMB is insane. It used to be instant and it takes like 10-15 seconds now. I'm not even using their app setup anymore, I gave up on it after a while because of a bunch of random issues with updates over time and switched to a dedicated box with Portainer installed. I really wish I could go back to core.

    I'm sure they'll iron everything out but BSD is still king at the moment.

  • At the moment, I'm reading [The Fireman by Joe Hill](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/02aa4837-8491-44d8-abf3-f62b51aedb92). He doesn't consider it horror and honestly, at the stage I'm at in the book, I would have to agree with that assessment, *but*, it is widely accepted as such. In the past week I've read: - [Haunted Hotel by Lee Mountford](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/1aff1241-36d6-4648-b66e-174a8fb3d2e7) - [Horror in the Woods by Lee Mountford](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/ab749d02-97ad-42ca-b790-6aef7da8037f) - [Voices in the Snow by Darcy Coates](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/eb33caa8-13e4-43b4-9ebb-00456f99a531) - [The Children of Red Peak by Craig DiLouie](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/259c5c3d-d80b-4687-a7ff-335f942bfbee) - [The House of Dust by Noah Broyles](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/f49584ca-59d2-4943-a60c-38e5155c0487) I absolutely *love* Lee Mountford's writing; it's jam-packed with action and there's no beating around the bush. His books are typically quite short and to the point. I have to say, though, The Fireman is really good so far. It's at a point where things are kind of slow so I hope it picks up a bit. Anyway, enough about me. What are *you* reading or have recently read?

    I have a confession to make... I code in Comic Sans

    I was addicted to coding with Comic Mono and ended up purchasing Comic Code. No regrets.

  • Which distro are you using right now?
  • Jamoke Jamoke Now 100%

    Pop!_OS on my laptop for everything except gaming. Programming, media consumption, reading, etc. I am much more productive using their stupid simple tiling window manager.

    On my servers/cloud VM's I run Ubuntu Server.

    On my NAS I run TrueNAS Scale. To be completely honest I kind of regret "upgrading" from TrueNAS to TrueNAS Scale. It's less performant and the amount of issues I've had with their application setup made me completely abandon it and just run Docker on a separate computer, which defeated the entire purpose of installing Scale. I'm sure they'll iron everything out over time and it's not like the performance is horrendous, it's just incomparable to good ol' regular TrueNAS (based on BSD instead of Linux with great ZFS support).

  • Spotify Alternative for streaming server
  • Jamoke Jamoke Now 100%

    My player (Roon) does not support ListenBrainz scrobbling and it's always really bothered me. I just set multi-scrobbler up and I'm so happy. Thanks for linking it!

    OP, if you don't mind paying and self-hosting I highly recommend Roon / Roon ARC.

  • With the decline of twitter and reddit, it's time to take a look at RSS again if you haven't already.
  • Jamoke Jamoke Now 100%

    What I meant was assigning multiple tags (like "tech", "security", "foss", etc) automatically to posts in a feed instead of needing to manually assign them to each article. So if I then want to filter all posts with "security" and "foss" I could choose those two tags to get the filtered results. Can it do that?

  • With the decline of twitter and reddit, it's time to take a look at RSS again if you haven't already.
  • Jamoke Jamoke Now 100%

    This post got me to try out selfoss but after it being pretty buggy and unable to fetch 50% of the feeds I was interested in, I looked elsewhere. I wanted to install Tiny Tiny RSS but the instructions weren't my thing. Finally, I settled on FreshRSS and I love it. All the feeds work. The only complaint I have is that, at least it seems, you need to manually add labels to each article and instead just put a feed under a category. I wish I could put feeds under any amount of labels or categories I want. Maybe there's an extension for it that I have not seen yet.

    That looks awesome. I hope I can get there some day. I'd probably want to go in autumn but it looks gorgeous year-round.

    Yeah, it wasn't always. I got it when it was cheaper.

  • Help me be bad
  • Jamoke Jamoke Now 100%

    100% relate to this. Same thing in every game. Especially RDR2, literally no way I will ever make different choices through multiple playthroughs. Same with Witcher 3 and really any game with choices like that. I don't know of a mod that could help really.

    The thing is, I don't really feel like I'm missing much by not doing a bad playthrough. If I really want to I can go watch a video or something. That's just me, though. In the end, I guess what I am saying is, there's nothing wrong with playing like this. Just play the way you want to. :)

  • Stop Doing Discord
  • Jamoke Jamoke Now 100%

    Serious question, can you join multiple homeservers yet? Having an account tied to one server is a massive drawback compared to Discord. I tried Cinny earlier and currently use Element with my friends but I don't think that feature exists.

    Yeah, I saw that. Equalizers are nice for some people but I literally never use them.

  • Jamoke Jamoke Now 100%

    I use Roon ARC to self-host my library. It is paid, but, I bought the lifetime subscription because there is really no other music app that has the features Roon has.

    Other than that, I have HiBy R3 Pro that is useless for Bluetooth, and when I'm hiking I want Bluetooth.

  • Should I host my own instance if I don't intend to run a community?

    Gotcha, thanks. I'm at about 70 so that makes sense then.

    The pictures folder on my instance is at 1.3GB after two days. It's just me and my friend. About how many communities are you subscribed to?

    “Clearly predatory”: Western Digital sparks panic, anger for age-shaming HDDs
  • Jamoke Jamoke Now 100%

    In the grand scheme of things this isn't a big deal. If you're not using some kind of RAID parity system I guess I wouldn't mind the notification. I think it is probably overkill, though. Just seems like they want everyone that's had a hard drive for three years to buy a new one. The fact that some drives that are still under warranty show the warning is sketchy.
