is there a "bi culture"?
  • Some would say all you need is to cuff your jeans and appreciate lemon bars! Jokes aside, I always took the prevalence of memes like that by and for bi people as a self aware dig at the fact we don't really have much of an established culture just yet and it's kind of an ongoing thing. That's been my interpretation at least, I'm certainly no authority.
    At any rate, hang in there and I hope you manage to find your way out of the closet and into a situation you're comfortable with soon if that's your wish :)

  • YSK: Use RSS feeds to curate your online experience
  • Not OP but thanks for bringing n8n to my attention, wasn't aware of it. At a glance it seems similar to Node-RED but leaning more heavily towards the IFTTT/Zapier side of things with tighter integrations, definitely an interesting project.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Yeah, as a Zenfone 9 owner, the 10 basically fixes the few small nitpicks I do have with it. Agreed though, don't see it ever getting officially supported any more than I do any other non pixels.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Not to mention Pixel phones aren't available at all in several countries, don't think I've ever seen one myself

  • Suggestions for good mindless games?
  • My go-to is Vampire Survivors! Default runs are 30 minutes long but you can make them as short as 15 iirc all the way to endless. Mindless enough that you can zone out but you can get more involved if you want.

  • Question on Proxmox Pools (I'm a bit of a noob)
  • As per the documentation, pools are basically just resource groups to make permission management easier, so they aren't really supposed to handle anything like that. Maybe look into a RAID setup of some sort or mergerfs if you just need file level pooling.

  • Any good websites for brazilian dubs?
  • I'm also interested, sure can be tough to find dubs for the fam. Pretty sure we got a few private trackers kicking around but I'm not really familiar with any reliable publicly available source off the top of my head.

  • Introducing Crackpipe - your decentralized, self-hosted gaming solution!
  • I've always wanted something like that, very cool!
    Any plans to incorporate customizable cloud saves? I'm envisioning listing files and registry keys, maybe fetch a starting point off PCGW to give users an idea of what to expect and whatnot.
    Linux client support would be great too, the Steam Deck could make great use of this.

  • People who have switched from vanilla GNOME to KDE Plasma: did you try to emulate GNOME's workflow on Plasma?
  • I've gone through Gnome 2, Unity, Cinnamon and nowadays tend to favor KDE and honestly, I pretty much always try to replicate a traditional experience no matter which of them I'm using, so pretty much the opposite of what you're asking, I suppose. I'll say I did appreciate the top left corner quickly exposing all windows, so that feature I try and replicate whenever possible.

  • People who have switched from vanilla GNOME to KDE Plasma: did you try to emulate GNOME's workflow on Plasma?
  • Lol sure does if you ask me. I hadn't even realized until you brought it up, but Gnome 2 was my first ever DE way back when I tried Ubuntu for the first time nearly decades ago. Time sure flies!

  • The Lord of the Rings: Gollum developer to close after disastrous launch
  • Always sad to witness folks losing their jobs, but I guess we all saw this coming. Here's hoping they all manage to land on their feet.
    That said, I have to wonder what that second game was going to be about. Codename "It's Magic", probably something involving Gandalf or another Wizard? 🤔

  • ISP not offering port forwarding anymore
  • So it sounds to me like you may have to deal with a IPv4 only address behind CGNAT, which makes port forwarding not work anymore. It's how my connection is set up, but luckily it does fully support IPv6 and that doesn't require any forwarding so I make do.
    If IPv6 isn't an option for you or you'd like to access your services from IPv4 only networks, I'd just go with Tailscale myself. I've been a happy user for years and it just works so well, should be good in your situation as well.

  • Microsoft wants to move Windows fully to the cloud
  • Yup, that'd also be the case for people like me who stick with Windows for gaming compatibility/convenience reasons and critical GPU features the Linux drivers just don't implement (looking at you, DLDSR). That, or just anyone with a GPU, I suppose, assuming the hardware market would look remotely like it does nowadays by then.

  • Programming Problem
  • Those are Rust and Nim

  • Question About Self-Hosting Lemmy Instance & Federation
  • In my very limited experience with my personal instance, I've had to give federation time for it to start working as expected. When I started out, sometimes I wouldn't find posts or my comments wouldn't show on the instance a post came from and whatnot, don't notice that anymore. Could easily be something wonky on my end though, I'm not sure.
    One thing that I still find extremely confusing and unintuitive is searching for a not yet federated community doesn't return any results, but also immediately makes the community visible in the "all" view if it does indeed exist. I was under the impression it'd just show the community link there and then so I assumed it was broken for the longest time, for all I know that's actually how it's supposed to go and I still have something broken somewhere lol.

  • Steam Next Fest wraps up today, what did you play?
  • Ohh so that's what it was lol, I'd assumed it was auto saving at first as well but got confused when it didn't seem to generate an actual new save slot. At any rate, I reckon it's a good thing it was generous enough that I didn't even register it had limits in place to begin with.

    Looking forward to the crew interactions too, seems ripe for a fun time since the game doesn't take itselt too seriously and they all look interesting and seem to have fun abilities.

  • Steam Next Fest wraps up today, what did you play?
  • I've played several, mostly games I've been following so no huge surprises. My highlights were:

    Lies of P
    Great soulslike built on a grim take on Pinocchio. Borrows a lot from Bloodborne, oppressive and interesting world, satisfying combat.

    Sea of Stars
    Super charming JRPG I've been looking forward to for a while, great pixel art, fun combat system with timed hits, great music.

    LunarLux
    Very similar to a Mega Man Battle Network game, but combat leans more towards the turn based side of the spectrum. Has some Undertale influences as well. The art being as cute as it is might turn some off, but it's a plus for myself.

    Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew
    Strategy game from the folks behind Shadow Tactics and Desperados. You control undead pirates with unique and fun abilities, and the game encourages you to rewind time as needed to experiment and play around.

    Honorable mentions go to Eternights and Viewfinder. Fantastic games all around, the following months are looking great!

  • Node-Red is no-code workflow automation with lots of extensions.
  • Damn, that's impressive. You've got me beat there for sure!

  • Why is Trilium so unknown?
  • Thanks, actually it made a big strides towards being less hierarchical, you can put everything in a folder and use internal links now, plus it has relationship links that are very useful some times.

    Ah, good to know!

    Regarding it using a database instead of a file system it has a bunch of pros but has its cons too, in my opinion there should be a feature were you can use both and if you use the file system in one of your notes, the note is less powerful so that you can use both the database and the the file system.

    Yeah, I 100% understand and respect the reasoning behind doing it that way but it's just not something I can get fully behind myself. As a developer myself, I wouldn't want to support both code paths so I also get why it isn't really a priority.

    Lastly the phone app is a bit of a sore point for me too, I just write stuff in markdown and then import them in as soon as I can.

    That's fair, do you just use something like Obsidian or GitJournal? I need to look into those at some point.

    That all said, I think I'm entrenched too deeply into my current solution to reconsider but I might spin up an instance to check it out. Thanks for the heads-up!
