  • Get a portable dac amp so you can connect your wired headphone over usb-c and upgrading its sound quality at the same time.

  • That's just how software licensing work before subscription, right? You'll get a permanent license key that valid for that version, then if you want to upgrade to the latest version later down the line, you'll buy a license upgrade (usually at discount).

  • It's either the cache or the dns.

  • The scanners should tell you the reason they flag a file. If it's marked as trojan, obviously don't run it. Cracks are usually marked as crack by most antivirus.

    You can also upload the flagged files to virustotal to see what other antiviruses flag the files for.

  • I understand the need for security, but default is powerful, which is why the eu requires os vendors to provide a browser choice screens instead of letting the os vendors to pick their own default browser. Without coupling this restriction with a browser choice screen, this would guarantee to increase edge market share simply because it's the default.

  • GPU passthrough works pretty well these days, but anticheats will detect you running inside a VM. Evading anticheats detection is a separate issue unrelated with gpu passthrough, usually involves getting the vm to look like a real hardware as much as possible (e.g. using real mac address, hiding kvm hypervisor signature, etc). It's quite a deep rabbit hole and I haven't actually tried it.

  • It's generally safe, but doesn't mean it's bulletproof as sites has been removed from the megathread in the past when they suddenly serve malwares or miners. Just use your common sense when downloading apps and games and scan them before installing.

  • Pirated apps are one of the top source for botnet operators to infect new machines and add them to their network. Try not to run any pirated app or game if you can, but if you can't avoid it, get it from trusted sources (e.g. directly from the cracker's homepage), not from random sources like TPB where anyone can upload anything.

  • I think you can send a SIGUSR1 signal to mumble process to tell it to reload the ssl certificate without actually restarting mumble's process. You can use docker kill --signal="SIGUSR1" <container name or id>, but then you still need to give your user access to docker group. Maybe you can setup a monthly cron on root user to run that command every months?

  • Great Coffee

    Jump
  • Why would they do that when coffee trees literally grow where the chivets live? They can just pick the berries themselves instead of waiting for the chivets to shit.

  • But why? Is administrators forcing their company's laptop to use certain browser actually a significant problem before?

  • I haven't actually tried it though so I'm not sure how it compares with rsync.net. How easy it is to access snapshots on hetzner? On rsync.net, snapshots are stored under .zfs folder so it's very easy to access.

  • There is a certain thrill when you nuke your disk to install a distro you never tried before. I actually just nuke one of my laptop last night to try void linux.

  • Stop threatening me with a good time!

  • Note that rsync.net includes free 7 days daily snapshot. Also, the main advantage over backblaze b2 for me is you can just sync a whole folder full of small files instead of compressing them into an archive first prior to uploading to a b2 bucket. This means you can access individual files later without the need to download the whole archive.

    I still use b2 to store long term backup archives though.

  • It's really easy, just install steam or lutris. However, some games might have their own specific issues when running under proton/wine under specific hardware configuration. If this is what happened to you, I'm afraid there might not be an easy way outside of putting some elbow grease to start tinkering with the config, or ask for help in linux gaming community.

  • Aye. Docker on linux doesn't involve any virtualization layer. What should the direct the installation setup be called? Custom setup?

  • I'm currently using nextcloud:26-apache from here because some nextcloud apps I use is not compatible with v27 and v28 yet. The apache version is actually less hassle to use because nextcloud can generate .htaccess configuration dynamically by itself, unlike php-fpm version where you have to maintain your own nginx configuration. The php-fpm version is supposedly faster and scale better though, but chance that you won't see that benefits unless your server handles a large amount of traffics.

  • People usually come here looking for advice on how to replace their dockerized nextcloud setup with a bare-metal setup. Now you came along presenting a solution to do the reverse! Bravo!

    What do you guys think about putting the different components (webserver, php, redis, etc.) in separate containers like this, as compared to all in one?

    I actually has a similar setup, but with nextcloud apache container instead of php-fpm, and in rke2 instead of docker compose.

  • I think the primary motivation for this change is to keep bluetooth active on significant portion of android users so google's upcoming "find my" network can take off. They don't want people to permanently turn off bluetooth from the drawer because there is a chance that they forgot about it and won't turn it on again, which is bad for their upcoming network. Adding popups to inform the users will increase the chance of users deciding to permanently deactivating bluetooth.
