Agree with others, if you try to do a replica it’s going to be very inefficient, and your costs will be high. You’re looking for a backup, then just nightly/weekly you perform your backups. Any blob storage then will do, just work out what pricing works for you. Just plan out how you’d do a restore in case everything came crashing down - from ground up how would you bring your services back online?

Fine it’s not technically a fork. It just consumes code from SteamOS and puts it onto Fedora. Happy? That wasn’t really the point of my comment, my comment was encouraging the person to try it.

I use Bazzite on my TV, fork of SteamOS, and it’s been a gamechanger. It’s so easy to just have all of my games on the TV, so I think the machine will be a great investment.

This is very close I think to critics and movies. Critics will always be hyper critical of movies because, well, it’s your job. You go in and watch movies all day - you’re going to pick up on small details that most average watchers won’t notice and you will be hyper critical of that.

Similar here, if your job is to play games and review hardware I’m guessing the writer of this thinks more people than not have huge gaming setups, when in reality Valve is right, most have a modest setup. They know they’re not competing with ultra highend, those people are already in the bag. They’re going after the casual people who maybe haven’t updated their PC in 6 years and just want to play some newer games, getting them into the ecosystem. In short, it’s hard to be a critic of a system that wasn’t designed for you in mind. Hell it’s not designed for me either.

HDD enclosure is a fine way to start, as long as you know it has limitations. Eventually you’ll probably need more storage, and it won’t scale. That being said, you can get 26TB hard drives now, it’ll be a while. Just make sure you plan out how to back it up. Remember the rule - if you can’t afford to buy a backup then you can’t afford to do the project. Make sure you have backups in mind.

If you decide to upgrade to a full NAS solution later also remember that during that migration you probably will need to use new hard drives while migrating as your current ones will need to be copied from to the new NAS, meaning you will probably end up with a few redundant drives. Not a huge thing, but there will be no “in-place” upgrade. It all depends on where you want your homelab to go in the future.

Build what you want to see. You’ll find that there is far less hand-holding here on Lemmy and the fediverse. If there is content you want to see, then you need to be willing to help post and show. You’re doing a good job here by posting, but be the change you want to see.

If there is a community you want, help kickstart it by posting regularly and driving discussion, evangelizing it.

As for uncensored, you may have to go to the less-federated servers, as most of the content has been defederated, usually with good reason.

Yeah honestly people are just antagonistic everywhere I’ve learned. There’s no perfect place. I think Lemmy is better, but there are also jerks everywhere

Yeah from what I’ve seen its basically “I’ve tried nothing and I’m all out of ideas”.

These guys who read about alpha beta sigma crap, are sexist, misogynistic, completely clueless are then shocked that women don’t want to be around them. It requires introspection, which I don’t think many of them have.

No, all it would do is fracture the existing community, with some leaving for the new and some staying here unaware. Until there is an official migration tool in Lemmy itself this is the only way to retain the community that was built

Yeah I always carry a couple 20s just in case for those reasons, but not a debit card. In addition to everything else, a debit card is a direct link to your money. A thief figures out how to use it, that’s your money gone.

If you’re in the states just use a credit card. Hold is out there but as long as you aren’t going towards your limit then it’s fine and ignorable. Just pay it off every month and it’ll build your credit too. I don’t even carry a debit card with me anymore.

That would be an interesting badge though on post, similar to the new user on Voyager. We are so small we could have a voting system to apply a spam badge to user that would expire after 30 days or something.

Same, I recently looked for vehicles and this was an option we desperately wanted. We have a great ev now that’s tiny and efficient, but a small truck would have been great

Honestly didn’t know the 99% was per year. My math was misleading because of rounding, but I was doing 0.990.990.99*0.99

Those numbers seem very heavily skewed in your favor - and even then with them, you’re willing to gamble that you’re not the 1 out of 5? Having a kid is a life-altering thing, a “You’re probably not getting the job you dreamed of or live where you want” type of life alteration at a young age - or at least you’re putting those things off for decades. I mean, you do you I guess, I’d prefer to know what I’m getting into first.

That’s the neat part aint it. Even for condoms, probability is only 99% for each time you do it. That means that it’s 99% chance you won’t get pregnant the first time. Then 98% safe 2 times having sex, then 96% safe if you have sex 4 times, and on and on. That’s with a good birth control option. The “pull out method” is not a good one. Once you’re maybe okay, and that’s a strong maybe. Every time beyond that is a gamble that rivals a vegas casino.

So yeah, those odds gotta be pretty damn good to be able to trust it.

Agreed. The vast majority of us I believe are actually older and a bit more well adjusted. I’m fine with leaving the weird nerd incel thing behind. I’m still a nerd, but not a weird nerd.

I saw someone posting nice guy incel content here recently and just thought nope, fuck that, and posted instead asking how people grew out of that mindset. I want us to be known for being a bit wiser, and more helpful rather than reinforcing bad mindsets.

And heeeeere come your Doritos Locos Tacos Players!!

I’ve never understood why they don’t have a “shut up and take my money” service. Fine they have their contracts, but they have die-hard fans who would love to give them money to watch their teams in one place. Give credit to paramount, fox, whoever, just get it to your customers. They’re doing them a disservice and missing out on money

I fully understand and empathize this. No matter what I do, it’s thanks to her in her eyes. My faults and failings are of course not hers, but all of the wins and accomplishments are.
