"We believe in an open internet... as long as you use these specific services."

This really sucks. So we're looking at a future where search engines are like streaming services now. "Hmmm now which search engine was on?"

I was entering my teens in the early 2000's. My memory is terrible but my family got a pentium 3 desktop PC and I remember I had some versions of SuSE, Ubuntu and Mandrake (or was it Mandriva by then) on that PC at one time or another. My family never knew how to use it because it was different all the time. Heck I didn't know how to use it.

When I built my first PC, a pentium 4, I dual booted windows and some flavour of Linux for a time, but I got into PC gaming so I only casually checked out new releases of Ubuntu over the years. Once Proton arrived though it was finally time to make the switch.

I'm not a developer, I made a pong clone with python once because I wanted to learn for the sake of it, but I support a few projects financially that I enjoy, I try to submit bug reports best I can. For the most part the community is great, and yes I use Arch btw.

This is what happened to me just recently. Have been using Niagara for about a year but just discovered Kvaesitso. They each do some things better than the other but both have some really great features that aren't just about what you can do to a 5 x 6 grid.

If I sell all my megalixers I've never used I could probably keep Firefox funded for years.

Less hyped this expansion but that makes sense as it's a new beginning. Can't wait nonetheless, I always come back to XIV.

Late reply, but I've got 4 proxmox nodes. TrueNAS with an HBA passed through, the arr stack, jellyfin, Home assistant, Nextcloud, bookstack, Unifi network application, Kavita, a windows VM with a 3080ti passed through that the kids can connect to using moonlight to play games on various tvs/devices. Various Linux distros to play around and test configs before I make any serious changes to my main desktop. Most recently set up graylog to pull in logs from pfsense and Unifi.

I have an insatiable thirst to just learn!

 

Just over a year ago I bought a 5950x on sale and with the help of some spare parts, and some great second hand deals I put together a Proxmox machine and began self hosting some services. 1 year later I have 4 Proxmox nodes; a 5900x system in the Rosewill rackmount case and 2 Beelink mini pc's.

I recently bought the Startech rack from a small business that no longer needed it. It came with 3 shelves, 2 APC rack-mount UPS's, one of which had brand new batteries, an HP Proliant DL6360 Gen 8 (not pictured, haven't made use of it) and a QNAP rack-mount something or other with 5 x 2TB drives in it. All for less than the price of the rack brand new.

Throw in a couple raspberry pi's, one that's running PiKVM hooked up to a 4 input HDMI switch, and one I use as my bastion host / jumpbox, and you got yourself a homelab!

I rented this game so much as a kid but never made it past Threed. I never cared and just loved roaming around. It wasn't until years later, just a few years ago now that I finally completed it start to finish and got to see how much more bonkers it got.

Well the CEO just had a massive panic attack yesterday and said there's no way we're going to finish this major project in time and the company is now ruined. The company is only one person. It's me.

I always do this too. You think I'm going to finish my meal with 2 bites of chicken in a row?! No chance. Gotta be a clean finish with a bite of salad, bite of rice, bite of chicken.

I LOVE the idea of Lemmy and the decentralized web and people coming together to forge our own way. But there's a far too high ratio of elitism, smugness, arrogance and belittlement to people that just want to discuss the things we enjoy. It is just really unfortunate. I don't engage very much, or at all really so I understand part of that is on me, but every discussion I find I'd like to chime in on is already polluted by assholes. It's just disheartening.

Pretty much what I do too. If the game goes on sale, and I still find it hard to pull the trigger I just take it off my list.

 

I'm running KDE Plasma, with the latest Firefox and have the titlebar turned off in the customize settings. When I set Firefox to use the "System theme - auto" it correctly uses my window decorations from the GTK theme I set in KDE's settings (top). Any Firefox theme I apply changes the window decorations to the below pic. Is there a way I can edit a theme to respect my system defined window decorations, or else I guess I'm looking for how edit the theme itself so I can define what decorations to use manually.
