Self hosting doesn’t mean you should host everything yourself at home, using a VPS you manage (so the data inside it is still yours) is also a viable option for selfhosting. I myself host some services at home and a few others in a VPS.

As for Dyndns, I’ve used a few providers over the years. DuckDNS is the one I’ve been using for 5 years or so and it’s not failed me once. Pretty happy with it.

Maybe you could have a duckdns pointing to your dynamic IP and your domains / subdomains with a CNAME pointing to the dyndns address?

I just got the pack with Tunic and Death’s Door. I had Tunic in my wishlist for a while and finally bit the bullet. Yay! 2 more games into the backlog!

You lasted until Windows 7? I’m guessing you didn’t have to deal with Windows Vista’s bs then. I changed ship thanks to Vista.

I also suffered Windows Me, but I was too young and at that time I didn’t know there was an alternative.

I dual booted Vista/7 and Ubuntu/Mint for a while but after not using Windows in years ended removing it completely. Now I’m a happy Antergos Arch user ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’ve been using Pinchflat for a while and so far it’s been great for me. It can automatically rescan the channel or playlist on a defined time (like every day or every week), and download new videos. It uses yt-dlp so you can configure all the parameters you want it to use for the download

I know, bit Snikket still uses ports 80/443 for its web interface and group file sharing service. It even has a page for Reverse Proxy configuration, but it doesn’t include Traefik and the configuration is non-trivial

I’ve tried to install it on my VPS behind Traefik but couldn’t get it working. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At least it’s not Comic Sans IN THE IDE (or vim/emacs for the brave).

Yes, I immediately thought about SOMA after reading the post. recommendations++

Same here.

Luckily the payment method I had used has expired so every month they remind me to skip the month if I missed doing it. They call it something different but I know what they really mean ʘ‿ʘ

Luckily you don’t need Window$. You can install Edge on your Linux distro of choice! Will it then show warnings telling you Edge is the bestest browser when you use it to search for another browser? Who knows, why not try it and find out??? Please someone use Edge on Linux, Micro$oft is now a friend of Linux

That’s my experience as well. I’ve been a Mint user for around 6 years (2012 to 2018 or 2019), with different DEs (Gnome, Cinnamon and Mate) and installations and there was always something that stopped working all of a sudden, or something wrong with Mint altogether that made the experience bittersweet. I even tried LMDE for a bit and didn’t last a week using it.

I ended up hopping to Antergos (RIP) and have been with it ever since.

Why would you need new Nvidia drivers in Windows 7 if every new game released requires Windows 10 or above?

Thomas the bomb train

Yes, you can have 1:1 and rooms on Discord too, but the level of customization of rooms, roles and permissions Discord has is much more advanced than what you can find in WA, Telegram or Matrix.org.

On Discord when you’re in a server you can see (usually) every other user that’s on the same server, and in every room you’ll see some of those people, depending on the permissions. That’s not how the other options mentioned before work.

Also, on Discord you can have specific rooms dedicated to audio/video chats, on the rest (WA, Telegram, Matrix) it works differently.

I think it’s mainly because of those reasons that people compare Matrix to WA and/or Telegram instead of saying it’s a “Discord alternative”.

It allows you to have personal 1 to 1 conversations and group chats, just like WhatsApp, Telegram or Signal.

Discord isn’t exactly the same thing as Telegram, that’s why Matrix.org is usually mentioned as an alternative to WhatsApp or Telegram but not Discord

If you thought the 12 to 16GB of RAM offered with most flagship Android devices today is enough

You’re wrong, I thought 6 to 8GB of RAM were enough. I’m still rocking my OnePlus 5, and seeing their last few years I don’t think I’ll get another OnePlus smartphone.

If you need more RAM on a smartphone than on a laptop, you’re doing something wrong. You can’t solve everything by just adding more RAM
