Hacker News.

I figure that once you pick a mapping application, you'll pretty much stick with it. So I've been looking into both Dawarich and Reitti and tbh, am having trouble figuring out whiat differentiates these two applications. Can anybody comment on these applications and if they use one or the other and how they like it?

.45 Parabellum Bloodhound is more my speed.

I wanna see him debate her

Today’s game is Halo. It’s been a hot second since I played this I feel like. Some stuff happened and it was hard to get everyone together. I was finally able to tonight though.

I tried something a little different and had my friends pick the “main” screenshot. They picked the one above because it looks like some “looney toons shenanigans” and “the one slipped on a banana”.

I can kind of see it, I didn’t really think about it in the moment when I took it though. Honestly I kind of like it. I feel like the generic action shots really don’t encapsulate what this game has come to mean to me in the time I’ve spent with it. It feels like a little piece that ultimately doesn’t showcase how I feel about it.

Speaking of how I feel: Boarding Action. All my friends hate this map. I love it. I have fond memories of playing it in middle school in Custom Edition. We’d get a big LAN party going in Wood Shop class and just dick around (instead of, yknow, cutting wood or something). Maybe it’s nostalgia but I love this map. It’s great for that. I could honestly sit there and just watch it for a while and enjoy the time. CE really has that special aesthetic.

And finally, since I’m in a rush for time, and in direct contradiction with my earlier statement about action shots, I captured this one I really liked. We were playing infection and I somehow managed to keep up with 9 Melees in a row and not die. I got this cool shoot of me meeting my friend. I may not like action shots. But this gets a pass as a cool memorial.

This is a follow-up to Tim Chambers' "The Seven Deadly UX Sins", in which we collaboratively review where and how the network has improved over the past six months, with a lot of different initiatives to show for it!

On my system, I wanted Firefox profiles to feel like their own browser instances. Meaning, their own app icons and to not be grouped together. Almost like how it is on MacOS.

To do this, I had to make multiple .desktop files. Here are the contents of that file. This targets flatpak, but it should work for traditional Firefox installs too.

I called this profile "Personal". Note that this says --profile "/home/USERNAME/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/config/mozilla/firefox/personal". In this, "personal" is a symlink to the real profile folder name located in the same directory.

OpenVFS and Systemd-Homed possible?

I'm into selfhosting and Im looking for a way to centralize the Userhomes and have a better Backup of these files.

The idea is to use a virtual filesystem to sync needed data to the client PC and have Homed to encrypt userdata and store the data on server.

That way I do not have to backup the client PCs.

What do you think? And are there any working examples out there?

I have a refurbished Lenovo Thinkcentre that I was running Truenas off of. Everything was working great, but it got hit with a power surge and after lots of trouble shooting it appears the motherboard is fried and I don't trust my ability to soder and fix it.

No now I need to upgrade my setup. Wondering what is a good sub $300 computer I can order that will run Jellyfin, Immich, and a few light services off of? With Truenas you seem to need two SSDs. One to boot and one to run apps, so it seems like a mini PC will not work.

I have a seperate HDD drive bay with a few hdd's in it full of shows and picture. Just need a PC to run my services.

I would prefer something I can order off Amazon or can be shipped quickly so I can get back up and running again.
