I quit Windows and installed Ubuntu, When I power on this error screen is showing!
  • Apparently this was a controversial take

    When I first started learning how to Linux long ago everyone recommended Ubuntu... and I had a similar issue to the OP.

    I had to dump the EDID of my monitor from a Windows machine to actually get X to recognise any kind of monitor modes ..it was an eye opening experience for a newbie.

    Today, I still dont really like it for other reasons (I'd take Debian over Ubuntu any day). Call me crazy here guys but I think its okay to share an opinion without being called an edgelord for it.

    (I use arch btw 🎩)

  • ChatGPT Isn't as Good at Coding as We Thought
  • Have you used it for this lately?

    I want to believe it used to be okay for this, but just yesterday I uses it to generate some pretty basic bash and I'm honestly not convinced it saved me any time after I cleaned it all up and actually made it functional

  • Self-hosted GitHub alternative?
  • What? Gitea. Gitlab is a complete devops platform. Awesome, but complete overkill.

    Why? Because I regularly commit code atrocities and have a hard enough time dealing with imposter syndrome, I don't need to add public shaming on top of it (And just data sovereignty I guess)

  • What is the most privacy friendly country out there?
  • I'm Aussie and I don't really closely follow the news, but that sounds more like a censorship problem than a privacy one? Even the Chinese find a way around the wall though. My governments been trying to protect its citizens from the horrors of the open internet for decades, they're... not good at it. I understand the desire for more freedom though.

  • What is the most privacy friendly country out there?
  • How to quantify that?

    Number of surveillance cameras per square km?

    Being members of international intelligence sharing networks?

    Data protection laws in place? Level of enforcement?

    Not sure theres an easy answer to the question, I think you'd have to put together data based on a wide set of criteria, and even then you would only be able to work off publically accessible/known info

    Why do you ask? Did your government put a camera in your bathroom?

  • NASA has reestablished full communications with Voyager 2
  • Token Aussie reporting in. Good effort.

    Given this is was described as a shout this probably more of a 'COOOO-EEEEEEEee!'

    Or maybe a 'OI OVER HERE YA CUNT', but I cant speak to the tension level at the Canberra DSC.

  • Baldur's Gate III has passed Half a Million Concurrent Players on Steam
  • I'm a "patient gamer" and tend to hold off until a game is severly discounted, especially if its mired with a billion DLCs and other 'value adds'.

    I didn't really think twice about throwing Larian full retail, good practices should be rewarded

  • Hey selfhosters, what are you selfhosting?
  • Basically I ran into issues with building images from newer and more complex compose files that podman-compose just couldn't pull apart.

    Docker is still the go-to if you want shit to 'just work', it has an easier user experience, it's what the vast majority of developers building containers are using. You can run rootless if you want without too much pain.

    It has come a long way but the probability that you'll run into some random edge case or other issue with podman is higher, podman-compose has some thorns (high likelihood you'll need to hack on compose files), if you want containers to start without your interaction you have to bake up systemd unit files for them, etc. I've not messed with podman-kube-play - wasn't even aware of it, so can't really comment as to how well that works.

    There's nothing to lose by giving it a go except your sanity and time. 😁

  • Hey selfhosters, what are you selfhosting?

    !

    • Nextcloud + OnlyOffice
    • *arr media management series (Lidarr, Sonarr, etc)
    • Gitea
    • Vaultwarden
    • PiHole
    • Jellyfin
    • Wiki-js
    • Lemmy
    • Prometheus/Grafana/Loki

    Currently all containerised running on a debian VM on a Rockylinux Qemu/KVM hypervisor. Initially I was using rocky+podman but inevitably hit something I wanted to run that just straight up needed docker and was too much effort to try and get working. 🤷

    Hardware is an circa 2012 gaming machine with a few ZFS raids for all of my Linux ISOs. It lives an extremely tortured existence and longs for the sweet release of death.

    Toying with the idea of migrating it all to on-prem virtualised kubernetes cluster using helm charts to manage the stacks and using NFS mounts for persistent storage because I hate myself (and to upskill I guess)

    What about you?
