The Triple-I Initiative is about to announce a bunch of new indie games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShrDsKDQjtc

There is a steam page already https://store.steampowered.com/sale/triple-i-initiative-2026

There are some solid games this year, on top of my list of expectation is Dead as Disco.

*edit: my bad, I thought it was live, but I was a bit late to click, it was announced 09 PDT / noon EDT / 18 CEST

I was wondering if I could get some suggestions from the community about the best way to go about migrating from Windows Server on my homelab host to Proxmox.

Background: Currently running Server 2022 Datacenter on my host because that's what I was familiar with. Using Hyper-V to manage multiple VMs like HomeAssistant and TrueNAS among other things. I have multiple container apps running within TrueNAS. There's an HBA passed through Hyper-V to the TrueNAS VM that has all of my HDDs connected to it. I'm just looking to migrate away from anything Microsoft/Windows.

Way Forward: The only procedure that I could come up with in my head was moving everything off of the NAS to my personal PC if I have the space, or maybe multiple PCs in the house. Back up all of my configs. Install Proxmox on the host, build out the VMs again, then restore the configs and just hope everything works the same. Or, just backup my configs build the new VMs on proxmox, restore and hope the new TrueNAS VM sees the data on the HDDs? I don't know if that would work.

If someone has a better idea, I'd like to hear it. Is there any way to dual boot Proxmox on the host maybe and slowly migrate things 1 by 1? Can you convert the VMs from Hyper-V before I install Proxmox?

Thanks everyone!

The Famitsu data includes several days before the unwelcome announcement. Even so, buyers are already shying away from PlayStation consoles that are straining wallets . The PS5 with optical drive moved 558 units, down from 2,801 sold the week before. Not faring any better, adoption of the Pro went from 4,662 to 840.

For more than four decades, GWAR has been pissing people off. They’ve “killed” countless controversial figures and it’s raised the hackles of emotionally weak fuck faces. It’s unavoidable. Yet the recent on-stage “disembowelment” of President Donald J. Trump pissed off the MAGA cult so you know what that means — they sent death threats to the guys parading around as fake intergalactic aliens in fake armor.

The main incident that got people up in arms was the band’s performance at Riot Fest in Chicago last year. During that particular show, they featured a little simulated murder of noted racist net negatives to society and wastes of valuable oxygen Elon Musk and President Donald Trump. It was all in good fun worthy of a good “hahaha” or a “hehehe” during your metal show.

Well, that was too much for the MAGA crowd. No, they couldn’t stand to see an effigy of their God Emperor and his minion getting fake murdered, so their influencers got all mad and condemned GWAR for their act for allegedly normalizing political violence. So they apparently responded by sending the band death threats, which is an act of political violence in its own right.

Never mind they’ve killed countless politicians over the years, but now was when they were fomenting violence. It was a situation that frontman Blöthar the Berserker laughed off at the time in an interview with Billboard.

“The idea that Gwar is normalizing violence is patently absurd.

“We’re not millionaires that are afraid of what people are going to say when they see what we do… Yeah, it pissed me off! We’re a group of artists that makes art, and it’s really the idea that what we have done is normalizing violence… there’s nothing normal about the violence that goes on at a GWAR show. It’s a cartoon, it’s Looney Tunes.”

Since then, GWAR’s only ratcheted up the vitriol, killing figures like now former Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem. But that’s not to say the anger from the right has subsided at all. In fact, in an interview with The Guardian, guitarist Mike Derks (a.k.a. Balsac The Jaws Of Death) explained how the whole situation’s been frustrating and scary at the same time. He also took umbrage with a group of people who claim to be pro-First Amendment to then go on to try to censor a band like GWAR.

“In a sense, it’s just laughable, but it was scary when we were getting death threats over social media. It did get me very upset when people were trying to say: ‘Oh, you can’t do that.’ This is the country where we’re supposed to be able to do that! People were saying we can’t do it after we’d been doing it for 40 years.”

But once again the obvious should be stated: the MAGA cult is so rotten with nothing but a buncha whiny, pasty white, piss-soaked, crybabies that couldn’t take a joke if it were handed to them with soft kids’ gloves. Sure, their ideology is the catalyst for this country’s backsliding into fascism, but they’re still somehow just soft as baby shit.

Bitsocial is very similar to bittorrent and inspired by bittorrent, it uses content addressing (files are addressed by their hash, like the torrent infohashes), trackers and DHT. it also scales infinitely and becomes faster and more censorship resistant the more peers there are.

It's also text-based by design. You can’t upload media directly. If someone wants to share media, they have to link to an external host and the UI just embeds it. That means it’s hosted on centralized sites (like Imgur, etc.) that know the uploader’s IP, can remove illegal content quickly, and report it to the authorities.

If it gets taken down, the embed just 404s. There’s also a character limit, so base64 is not really practical.

Because it’s decentralized, it can’t be taken down, censored, or controlled by any single authority.

But that’s just the beginning, the protocol is designed to support any kind of community space. The goal is to have UIs for things like Facebook-style groups, events, meetups, Discourse-style discussions, and old school forums/message boards, internet archive, wiki...etc .

With Bitsocial , moderation is also left to the communities themselves, so each group can decide its own rules and tools.

Bitsocial is not private, just like bittorrent isn't

Bitsocial works like torrents, so very illegal stuff can't thrive on it. Your IP address is visible in the p2p swarm and can be tracked by authorities. If you decide to use Bitsocial via Tor or VPNs, the liability falls on them

Anyone can run their own node and create their own community .

They cryptographically own the community .

Also and the most important

Because Bitsocial is ipfs based people can selfhost their website on it. It uses the same underlying infrastructure as torents. It can also be used to communicate with other users.

Bitsocial Github

https://github.com/bitsocialnet

We mainly use 3 technologies, which each have several protocols and specifications: IPFS (for content-addressed, immutable content, similar to bittorrent) https://docs.ipfs.tech/ https://specs.ipfs.tech/

IPNS (for mutable content, public key addressed) https://docs.ipfs.tech/concepts/ipns/

Libp2p Gossipsub (for publishing content and votes p2p) https://docs.libp2p.io/concepts/pubsub/overview/

main goal is to enable truly censorship-resistant communities that aren’t controlled by any single platform.

I’d like to see people build all kinds of spaces on top of it, forums, old-school message boards, niche communities while keeping everything peer-to-peer and decentralized.

Thought I might share this for anyone that's running into the same problem as me. Since the Beelink S12 Pro is a popular choice for some in this community, especially if you are running video transcoding (mediaservers).

After one and a half years of 24/7 activity I've started having issues with my Proxmox VMs and LXCs running my selfhosted services. First I've only noticed some services were becoming unreliable, but after a while it spread to different VMs, so it looked like the host must be the issue.

After reading through the logs it became apparent, that my M.2 SSD had I/O errors and was about to fail. S.M.A.R.T reported high temps. 53°C idle / up to 80°C when running overnight Backups, so the issue was pretty clear. My SSD was constantly overheating which caused it to fail in the end.

New SSD, fresh Proxmox install (finally did the upgrade from 8 to 9). Restored my Backups and some settings and everything was running again in no time (❤️ Proxmox backups). Instantly checked the SMART temp values and same issue as before. Temps way too high.

Did some reading and tweaked some settings to reduce the load on I/O, but nope still way too hot.

Next I removed the empty 2.5 disk bay taking up space above the M.2 and installed a heatsink with 10mm height, which made it slightly better but not that much. Temps dropped to 49°C idle / 71°C when running backups.

This made me rethink the problem. Reducing I/O and adding a heatsink didn't seem to reduce heat by that much. Why? Some additional reading and pondering about the problem helped me find the issue. The CPU is right on the other side of the board from SSD. The CPU was cooking my SSD from below... Even tried tweaking the fan settings in BIOS to cool down the CPU so my SSD wouldn't melt, but didn't really help in the end. My beelink just became louder.

Last resort was using a sledgehammer to crack the nut: Bought a 80mm Noctua 5V PWM fan. 3D printed a new bottom plate for the beelink and am now blasting my SSD on full speed with air. Even at full speed 24/7 the additional power cost is extremely low.

Result: 28°C idle / 35°C when running backups.

My Beelink now looks like some Frankenstein creation, but I'm just happy my servers and backups are stable again. Maybe I'll add a cover to make it a bit easier on the eyes.

FYI: I'm currently running 6 LXCs and 1 VM on this poor thing. Two of which are running >20 docker containers.

I recently bought a new computer, and, after again trying Windows 11 for a bit, I decided I wanted to keep using OpenSUSE.

Probably unpopular here: I enjoy screwing around with local LLM models. I used LM Studio on my old computer (on which I had also installed OpenSUSE Leap). I also tested it on my new computer in Windows 11, and it worked very nicely. Now I’m trying on my new computer with OpenSUSE Leap 16, and it doesn’t work at all.

Specifically: no runtimes nor engines are present, and my hardware isn’t recognised at all - not my GPU nor my CPU, nothing.

I’m thinking it’s a driver issue. I’ve looked around quite a bit, and also looked up (what seems to me) the most important error messages I got when running the AppImage from the console:

I did get Ollama to work... Any thoughts?

The likelihood Viktor Orbán winning Hungary's upcoming parliamentary election has dropped since U.S. Vice President JD Vance made a speech endorsing him, according to the latest betting odds.

Speaking at a press conference in Hungary's capital, Budapest, on Wednesday, Vance said he would help the incumbent prime minister in his election campaign and praised Orbán ahead of the April 12 poll.

He said that the tariff is $1 per barrel of oil, adding that empty tankers can pass freely. "Once the email arrives and Iran completes its assessment, vessels are given a few seconds to pay in Bitcoin, ensuring they can't be traced or confiscated due to sanctions," Hosseini added.

DENVER — A Colorado rail project approved by voters more than two decades ago may finally be completed.

It has been 21 years since voters approved a 0.4% FasTracks sales tax for the Regional Transport District (RTD). FasTracks promised to build light rail throughout the metro area (it did), a rail line to DIA (it did), rail lines in the metro area (somewhat) and a rail line to Boulder and Longmont (crickets).

At one point, RTD said it would be 2050 before the train was in service.

As of Wednesday, April 8, the rail line could be completed in 999 days. That is how many days until Jan. 1, 2029.
