  • If you’re willing to go into the terminal based editor rabbit hole, I recommend going straight to helix, coming from vim/neovim in the past it’s much easier to get into and maintain since it’s batteries included and doesn’t take huge dotfiles to configure it like you want, and the movement feels more intuitive to me than vim’s

    When did I advocate for them? I’m just pointing that out because it’s not that accurate from my actual experience, there are plenty of much more valid reasons that you can point out to show that they are not native to the land, like the fact that they have to commit a genocide so they can settle in it for example



  • We have nurtured a culture of radical tolerance. Even when some in our sphere of collaborators have advocated for actors and views that have personally and severely affected the founders and their family members, this has not stood in the way of cooperation.

    The leopards that ate other people’s faces will definitely not eat my face too





  • It’s only as safe as you make it, and improving your sysadmin/security/devops skills is a requirement that never goes away imo.

    It’s perfectly fine to try it with something you don’t care that much about for starters, a baikal calendar is a nice and easy start. Expose only the ports you need for your reverse proxy (and also ssh if you don’t plan having the machine in your local network), and the rest should be secure enough for just small services for your own and your family’s usage.

    Eventually you will start learning how to backup your data with cronjobs, strengthening security a bit more, and as you go you can keep adding increasingly important services for yourself as the system becomes more reliable.

    Edit: Hardware is very expensive now, but if you have an old laptop that is just sitting collecting dust, it’s the perfect starting point for a server. It’s not ideal long term, but it’s a free way to get your feet wet and learn.

    The data being publicized isn’t enough to call it open source, if someone decided to create a foss app that copies over new records from the ProtonDB database every night for example, you would still have a diverging dataset if you allow people to insert new records in the new app, and the ProtonDB owners could just decide to not export that data any longer whenever they want.

    That could also be true if it were open source, but I’d say it’s much more likely to happen when the main parts of it are proprietary.

    You also can’t change the data being Steam specific when the app is closed source and not accepting contributions, a foss app could become as broad or as specific as the community needs it to be.






  • I got a tower stand, the bottom of the tower had completely filled with dust and there was no airflow from there, the wheels are also very convenient for cleaning under there.

    I also cleaned the dust inside and re-applied new thermal paste, neither of which I had done for quite a while, and it already improved my temps by a lot, about 20 celsius cooler max for both the cpu and gpu.

    Here are the temps after a gaming session:
