    A NAS is the perfect device to host it on though. Docker or VM.

    At first, a lot. Not so much recently though. It's definitely more work though I'll admit. Sometimes that's the price to pay for privacy. Also, I learn a lot of skills that could help me get a good paying job by doing it.

    My smart home is Home Assistant hosted on a server in my house. It's fully open source and has gone through multiple paid audits to show its security is good too. The only non-local-only integrations are the weather api's and my thermostat (ecobee).

    Its also possible that out of the people who hate on it, the people who haven't actually tried it outnumber the ones who have.

    I agree. People need to chill.

    Fair enough. Personally, I am a developer who only has worked professionally in C#. C/C++ scare me. I would get used to it if I were to use it professionally. on the other hand, I picked up rust as a hobby language for some low level stuff because I love the guardrails the compiler provides. I think rust would help make me a better C programmer TBH.

    Do you have something against it? People hate on it like it's a fad or whatever. But, the people who like it, LOVE it.

    Rust is the most admired language, more than 80% of developers that use it want to use it again next year.

    https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/#overview

    Rust is on its seventh year as the most loved language with 87% of developers saying they want to continue using it.

    https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2022/#overview

    8 years in a row. I can understand the perspective of someone who spent years honing their craft in C/C++ and not wanting to learn a new language. But, the Harassment of the "Rust in Linux Lead" is ridiculous. I'm not saying you are harassing. But, saying it's a tech bro thing is just negative and doesn't do justice to how many devs just like rust.

  • GTA Online now has BattlEye Anti-Cheat and is no more playable(for now?)

    To my understanding role players are really what's keeping it alive. I imagine they don't want to piss them off.

  • What’s your “I can’t believe other people don’t do this” hack?

    No, using them is fine. It's every night that I was concerned about. They sell a special packet that you mix with water and I believe it says not to do it too often. I believe regular salt water would probably be okay.

    As a programmer, same. Endless content on every programming concept, language, or niche that you can think of. Math videos often as well. Numberphile is one of my favorite math channels. They have a computer channel too.

    Cool. Idk about every night. But I might do it in the allergy seasons at least 😊

    Same. I don't own any subscriptions except for YouTube premium. There is an endless amount of educational content on there and it's the only content I really watch.

    I am fairly certain there is a reason you shouldn't do that. Are you using just warm water?

    The Pinecil uses a standard tip as well. So, you can get cheap ones on aliexpress. That'll pay for it for me tbh.

    Well, it seems like something they should just do. She went for it and he walked to the podium. Then he didn't look over at her once the whole "debate". She was constantly looking at him. He was scared.

  • I currently use Frigate as an NVR for my outside cameras. I would like something that integrates with that. I really just care that it is fully local. I don't want a chance of someone on the internet being able to access a camera in my baby's bedroom.

    I have a desktop and a steam deck. I would like to setup some old games I have on disc on the desktop. Then compress them and decompress on my Steam Deck without doing the full install again. I understand that with wine/proton prefixes they should be installed to a "fake c:/ windows hierarchy" can I just compress that and copy to a different Linux machine? Does it save which proton version was used? If I use something like Lutris or bottles can I import into them?

    I just found this last night and installed it for testing. It's just a web-gui to help manage compose.yml files. It's not fully featured yet, but I believe it's got some real potential to be a regular stay for me.

    I have a few family members that I help support. For instance, I installed Linux Mint on my grandmother's PC. She doesn't know any different and my young cousin doesn't understand it so he finally stopped giving it viruses. I used to use TeamViewer to take over her PC when she needed support but I got my account banned because they believed I was using it commercially. Oh well! I have Tailscale installed on the computers. This gives me SSH access. What would you suggest? RDP? Something else?

    I agree that dockerfile's are not very reproducible. But honestly, that's not how most people use it. I believe most people just pull the already built image which is very reproducible. Anyways, I found this video interesting and thought I'd share it and get your guys thoughts.

    I hope I am not coming across as spamming as this is my third post to this community today. I won't do another today but I just thought this was interesting. I watch most of CTT's videos and this was one from a live stream where he went into gaming on NixOS.

    I was looking up gaming on NixOS and I came across this video. I have never seen this creator before but the video was interesting. So, I thought I'd share.

    I know you can go github and just do a file search. I am just wondering if there is a place where people share and give descriptions. I would like to see what is out there in terms of "gaming configurations". But, I also would love to just read some random configs that can help me learn new concepts of what can be done in the config.
