And if you’re not sure whether the cache has been fully flushed, run sync and it’ll return once it’s done!

Summit is my favorite of the Lemmy clients, been using it for a while and probably will the entire time I use Lemmy - thanks so much!

I don’t even think you’d use it in a script, it comes up with a dialog box, it’s basically the “about” pop up for Windows

Surely there is a text/CLI based one likely, but I don’t think winver has a mode for that

I’ve had an itch to play Palworld recently, so definitely that! Helldivers is also my “Jump in for a match or two then log off” style game that I generally play as well.

Yes, though I think the exception is (some?) ARM based PCs don’t run UEFI, in which ARM in general doesn’t have a universal standard for booting which adds complexity to it. Perhaps that’s already changed though, I haven’t kept up too well in the ARM space.

Not sure if maybe the Walmart self checkout terminals aren’t x86 machines, perhaps they’re ARM or another embedded type of system.

Oh, nice! Congrats on your journey so far by the way, and good luck with the rest!

Just as a caution for this, a lot of the assistance programs for the GLP-1s don’t actually support state healthcare programs from what I’ve seen, unfortunately.

My endocrinologist wants to get my A1C down (and I could stand to lose a bit of weight in general) since it’s fairly high (just barely touching pre-diabetic levels), and they’ve only been able to get me on Trulicity for now. Insurance themselves will only cover GLP-1s if all the other A1C drugs completely fail (and show no results for X amount of time), they won’t approve it under just general weight loss alone.

Something to look out for!

I assume you mean Nginx Proxy Manager? I’m surprised that you would even run that on a desktop with a GUI, seems far more fit for a headless system. Of course, nothing stops you - it’s your system.

As a general note I’d recommend docker CLI / compose, most applications will assume you’re using that and have instructions tailored for it (which is helpful if you’re new to docker).

To be honest I didn’t even know docker had a desktop app for Linux, I’ve only seen folks use it on Windows and macOS.

Are you just using the rsync command directly? I believe there is an exclude flag that you can use to exempt your steam library folder.

No issues so far! Issues tend to be an “I fucked up” rather than a “Someone else fucked up”.

I’d much rather the fuck up be my own, as silly as that might perhaps sound to some folks outside of IT.

Just to chime in with my own opinion on JetBrains’ tooling, my first language was Java - admittedly its been a while since I tried Java (and other JVM languages like Kotlin) in VSCode but when I last did it was a bit of a challenge. I also did some Android development for a while and if “standalone” Java was awkward in VSCode I assume Android development would have been too (Android development in general was nightmare fuel until Android Studio came along, never really did like Eclipse all that much).

After expanding out into other languages, I have enjoyed the specialization of each of the JetBrains IDEs. VSCode always felt like a “Jack of all trades, master of none” type of experience for me personally. I have tried out Zed recently and while I think its going to be a decent editor, I still have similar issues with it that I have in VSCode (in that how well it works depends on what language you’re using).

The exception to their tooling that I haven’t really liked though is Fleet - which was their answer to creating an equivalent to VSCode. It hasn’t really seen a lot of development and feels more like the forgotten step child of JetBrains. Also the “Remote Development”/JetBrains Gateway features can be really hit or miss though thankfully I don’t need that sort of functionality often.

Subscribed from bitforged.social, thank you!

The p2p meshnet that they were referring to basically is a local/small group ISP.

As for why a single person cannot (effectively) become their own ISP? It’s complicated. Really complicated. ISPs have to pay other ISPs just like you and I do, unless they’re a Tier-1 ISP/Network. Otherwise you’re always going to be paying to connect to (and generally paying for bandwidth) another network that has access to a network that then has access to a T1 network. T1s are basically the largest networks that hold (or can directly access) the majority of people on the internet. Top of the food chain, so to speak.

So in theory, yeah, you can become your own ISP - but you’ll still need to pay and be at the mercy of other ISPs. Datacenters are typically their own ISP, but they have to pay others to get online just like we do.

As far as I understand, the steps you linked to are currently the only way to do this. Personally, it’s not something I’d be willing to go through. That guide explicitly states that if you accidentally lose the keys, you’re not able to disable Secure Boot.

Additionally, since the SteamOS kernel needs to be signed manually, this seems like you could run into some “fun times” when SteamOS updates the kernel and loses the signature. You’d need to re-sign the image every time the kernel gets updated.

To me, the risks outweigh the rewards - especially since we don’t know how well BF6 runs on the deck. Of course, at the end of the day its a choice you have to make yourself, but that’s my take on the matter.

Probably the part where it’s paired with *slides her finger into your mouth*

Unless that’s something you say to your friends/family/coworkers/etc often…?

I’d give it a -5. I have a chronic autoimmune condition that started very early in my life, and caused me problem after problem.

Trying to tell all the adults around me that something is wrong, and then being yelled at, being told “it’s all in your head” “you’re just looking for attention”, etc… not great.

Not saying that this next part would “excuse” it, but it’d be one thing if it stopped after I was officially diagnosed. It did not. Instead, I was told by my father “You’re using your disease as a crutch, stop”… My mom started to turn around for the most part (there were still exceptions, but other than those cases it got better).

After I moved out, I cut off contact with my father because of the hate I’d get from him. I was hoping that perhaps one day we’d be able to finally turn things around… Last year he died in a very tragic accident. So I guess I’ll never know if amends could have been made or not.

To this day I still claim that I was robbed at the chance of a normal childhood, although what “normal” looks like… I don’t know. I’d rate it lower, but I didn’t get the physical abuse, just the emotional part of it. My brother on the other hand was the exact opposite. Us combined, definitely makes a -10. There were positives and good moments of course, but the bad really outweighs the good when looking back.

This is pretty much how I am, too. I’ve purchased SDV three times but could never get into it because I have no idea what I need to do.

Big fan of the dev though and how much he does for the game, even if I don’t personally play.

That would have the same effect as just taking the site offline…

No one is giving a random site their photo ID.

Oh man, this was my history teacher’s favorite song back in middle school. Used to play it in class every. day. I thought I got away from that song… And I did for 17 years…

Now it’s stuck in my head again!

If I had to take a guess (which is exactly what this is, a guess) it is because Android doesn’t “know” where the app is from. I assume the Play Store has specific (system-level) APIs that it uses to “tell” Android how it can be restored (or rather, Android can signal to the Play Store to do a reinstall) when you go to unarchive the app.

It’s been a while since I kept up with the latest in Android’s APIs, I’d heard there were some APIs that third party stores could use to be recognized as a store, but I’m not sure what the requirements are for that (such as being a system app rather than a user app, or signed by the ROM’s keys) and if so, whether archiving even supports third party stores.

I can’t think of any other workarounds unfortunately, especially if you want to persist app data. Perhaps there’s an app that can make custom widgets that look like an app entry on the home screen (and allows setting an icon/text) but I’m not aware of any, and that definitely wouldn’t save the app data.
