And thaaaat’s why it’s head/tailscale or nothing for me. I’m smart enough to know I don’t know enough to be absolutely confident I won’t get SHODAN’d and end up crying over a home network catastrophe, never feeling truly secure ever again.

Every now and then it’s tempting to get those fun features in containers like Nextcloud, like public links and federation, but it’s not worth the risk IMHO. Not when there’s state-class adversarial bots written by stupidly smart people roaming the landscape. <_<

Aw thanks!

<3 long time lurker, seldom poster. 😂

Hoping to change that and contribute more. :)

(also to @luciferofastora@feddit.org)

Good point and agreed! I’m a little new to posting so I thought it was polite to include the source where I found it.

At first glance I thought the poster coincidentally found these images side by side in their gallery, and that’s where the humor was.

Even though that poster clearly got it secondhand too, I didn’t wanna be “ripping them off” lol.

I edited the post to include the raw image. Thanks for clearing up community expectations / culture for me though. :)

I dunno now I’m intrigued to check out emacs. Somehow I learned all the complex finger-ballet to operate Blender mostly by keyboard shortcuts as intended, so maybe that’ll soften the learning curve? :D

Now that’s how you do in-universe self-aggrandizing lol. Love GoG.

Okay cool, cool, so does this mean ridiculous data centers will use these things, and then can I get another 4TB RED for my NAS so I can fit my whole life on a mirrored total of 8TB without paying 8x what it’s worth, please?

Thaaaaanks…

This is not meant for human beings.

This is for like, Smaug but if he hoarded classic anime and the entirety of Steam or something. Lol

Thank you, yes, exactly what I meant. It’s a bit baffling such a mature project doesn’t have some kind of migration script. :(

Heads up if your Paperless is installed via Docker: be VERY CAREFUL about your database version and do an export often!

Mine has been down for a while because I did a pull and it doesn’t support my version of Postgresql anymore. So it’s kinda a huge mess trying to figure out how to safely migrate it in the container.

I haven’t been able to fix it yet so I’ve just left it disabled and gone without for a while. It’s not fun.

Allegedly if you export from within Paperless, you can just start with a fresh updated database container and import when this happens. Oof.

and one was Nvidia removing support for GTX1000 cards and older (Nvidia, WHYYYYYYYY?!).

Yeah this one REALLY sucked on my laptop still running a 960M. But hey, after the fix (which I think was just locking the driver package?) I just don’t gotta worry anymore, so that’s cool.

Woo! Tumbleweed is fantastic. I agree! I used to only do creative/productive stuff with it, but I finally moved all my gaming over a couple years ago and it’s been handling everything I’ve thrown at it, on Nvidia! Whereas Win10 was bluescreening Vermintide 2 and saying “This app is too old :(” for my older games.

I think the only thing Tumbleweed wouldn’t be great for, is capped Internet plans. X_X

Call them up on the 'phone to have a cancer.

Lots of contentious studies suggest this was totally a thing with some cellular technology! Lol

Wouldn’t mind if it were upgraded with some E2E goodness nowadays but otherwise…I kinda missed my chance to get it on it, I feel.

Honestly there probably are better solutions, but every time some Silicon Valley pet project gets a ton of venture capital and starts “disrupting” so it’s everywhere all the time . . . that’s what most people are gonna start using by default.

So we don’t get to see better options truly adopted, and it’s incredibly frustrating…

Bingo. I always try to think “What is it trying to be and can I take enjoyment from that?”

I’ll even enjoy a “bad” movie if it seems like everyone involved was having a blast making it. I just shift my perspective to “What if this were my friends from highschool showing me a movie they made?” and I end up being a lot less judgy.

Life’s too short to be too picky to be entertained.

But anytime I had to troubleshoot my Windows computer

"Hi, my name is Gilbert from Microsoft Support volunteer program! Please try the following and report back:

• Uninstall all drivers, reboot, reinstall all drivers.
• Reinstall all your hardware by re-seating it.
• Delete and recreate your user account.
• Run chkdsk.
• IP config for no real reason but hey text output feels like progress.
• a dozen other steps. . .
• Completely reformat and reinstall Windows.

…And let us know if that fixes the issue!"

For snazzy layouts for publishing and stuff, you might want to give Scribus a try! It’s like an alternative to Microsoft’s “Publisher.”

People sleep on Blender’s “VSE” capabilities so much. I feel like an extension to make it a little bit more turnkey like Kadenlive could be helpful, but it’s a VERY good video editor and I think few users really know how much it can do in that realm.

WOAH. How have I not seen this? Looks like a fantastic alternative to Aseprite!

Gimp’s latest version is much cleaner and a way smoother experience. I’m actually really excited about it. :)

Totally agreed on Krita. It’s a joy to use. My drawing and painting could certainly be better, but I definitely don’t feel like the software is what’s holding me back!
