Hi, as you can from see from my previous posts I installed Linux in all my machines. Now I have a PC with an I5 6500 (with Mint on it) and I'm upgrading the GPU. So, do I just open it put the new one and connect the cables? Or do I have to do some thing first? Thank you for all your help.

Today's game is some Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition. I haven't been in my world for a while so i decided to hop in and relax. I've noticed i don't really have a drive to beat the Ender Dragon, so i think that's really dampened a bit of my attention too it. I still enjoy sinking some time into it though.

I stopped to get some fish to tame the cat above, and while i was doing so it started to set and the game's soothing soundtrack started playing. I ended up putting the rod away and just watching. Maybe it's just nostalgia but watching that sent shivers down my spine, in like a good way. I felt all the stress of the day just kind of leave my body and i felt a lot lighter.

It brought back vivid memories of my childhood, sat around the Entertainment Center with my sister. We'd spend hours in Minecraft (creative mode specifically because we were afraid of survival) and just build the most mundane things with our creativity. It always felt so amazing even when the builds were so poor in quality.

I remember the very first world i built, i built this giant wooden house in a dessert, then built a cafeteria on top of it out of iron blocks. and finally on top of that I built a Travel Agency that specialized in trips to the nether (complete with a nether rail and everything). I decided i wanted a moat so i used TNT. Then i built a bridge out of emerald blocks. Finally i had a farm i put in the basement along with a room for my cats. I wanted to be able to see them so i put a glass sun roof in the floor of my bedroom.

Another memory I remember was when i couldn't figure out how to make a furnace (because of how the Console Edition's UI was). I tried everything, and my last ditch effort was too build a cobblestone U shape with a Dandelion in the center (for fire). Looking back I'm not sure why i thought that would work. But it's still a really fond memory. I'm starting to ramble a bit here about my childhood, but basically, watching this was nostalgic.

I went to check in on the village and i think their population went down, I'm not sure though. I'm thinking of building some sort of defensive barrier around the village to help keep them safe. I don't really do villager trading, but also I'd feel bad not trying to help out, so it's something on my list someday.

My final act for today was to check on Matheson (who is a black sheep i named after Richard Matheson, author of I Am Legend, one of my favorite books growing up and what i just so happened to have on my shelf when i looked at it for a name). I fed him some wheat before shutting it off. I figured i should feed the guy.

I spent much of today trying to get WinApps running on NixOS. The VM performance is meh after following all the setup steps in the documentation, and I can't get the RDP part working. I'm not asking for help, which would probably take lots of back and forth commenting. but if I should even try to continue. The steps don't even mention Nix, only how to install dependencies via package managers.

I tried finding videos of Photoshop in WinApps but didn't find any, to see what performance actually looks like. Would it even be decent, or should I just suck it up and do GPU passthrough? Ideally I'd like Photoshop a window part of my linux desktop instead of switching back and forth between OSes. Making something work has been a PITA so far.

I'm using Interstellar with a PieFed account, and I've found communities quickly and easily (including many on this instance) as soon as I start typing partial words. But I just discovered that skateboarding@lemmy.world and rollerskating@lemmy.world aren't returned in searches unless I type out "!skateboarding@lemmy.world" in full. I only discovered these communities exist when I switched to Jerboa and my Lemmy account. Is this a quirk of federation, a mod setting, or something else?

I'm new to the Fediverse so please be gentle. 😂

Hi guys, I am thinking of selling my old server which until now I have been using as a mini home lab. But now that I have a dedi on hetzner, I don't really see the point of keeping it around. What do you guys use your home lab for and why do you prefer it over cloud hosting?

For years, little was known about how Ice uses Palantir’s technology. The company has consistently described itself as a “data processor” and says it does not play an active role in any of its customers’ data collection efforts or what clients do with that information.

Now, a cache of internal Ice documents – including hundreds of pages of emails between Ice and Palantir, as well as training manuals, and reports on the use of Palantir products – offer some of the first real-world examples of how Ice has used Palantir in its investigations and during on-the-ground enforcement operations.

The documents, which were obtained by immigrant legal rights group Just Futures Law through a Freedom of Information Act request and reviewed by the Guardian, largely cover Palantir’s contract with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the investigative arm of Ice that is responsible for stopping the “illegal movement of people, goods, money, contraband, weapons and sensitive technology”.

Palantir recently won a $30m contract to build the government a new platform called ImmigrationOS that will service Ice branches beyond HSI, and aims to “streamline” the identification and deportation of immigrants. While the documents are largely limited to HSI’s operations, it’s easy to see how the tools could be of use to other branches of Ice.

One document showed that agents could use Falcon to search for people’s names, known locations, vehicles or passport information against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other federal databases like the Enforcement Integrated Database (EID) – a vast database that holds biometric and personal information on anyone who has been encountered or arrested, detained or deported by any DHS agency – on the go.

In addition to collecting and analyzing field interviews, the agents used Falcon for “blueforce tracking”, a military term for tracking someone’s GPS location. Training documents show Ice agents could also use Falcon to track a person’s location, including their “route and movement”, hour by hour using cell phone tower records.

If I create a new torrent, does CGNAT (carrier-grade network address translation) prevent me from being an initial seeder of that torrent? I've made test torrents before and noticed that none of them seemed to be downloadable. Seeding the test torrents on a VPS of mine with a public IP has surprisingly worked before.

I can download and upload in my torrent client just fine, so I know my ISP isn't (intentionally) blocking and firewalling torrents.

New type of detector enables deeper understanding of the universe

The underground “Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO)” near Jiangmen city in the Guangdong Province, which was prepared with the participation of researchers from the PRISMA+ Cluster of Excellence at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), has successfully completed the filling of its 20,000 tons of liquid scintillator and begun data taking. After more than a decade of preparation and construction, JUNO is the first of a new generation of very large neutrino experiments to reach this stage. Initial trial operation and data taking show that key performance indicators met or exceeded design expectations, enabling JUNO to tackle one of this decade’s major open questions in particle physics: the ordering of neutrino masses—whether the third mass state (ν₃) is heavier than the second (ν₂).

I want to see the actual characters, hiragana, katakana... instead of squares and actually write traditional Chinese and Korean.

And easily change the input language / method

Sort of a modern twist on BBS. Every new user will not see what was done previously, but stick around and enjoy the chaos.

Found this while surfing the webz, thought you might it as interesting and amusing as I did. Hopefully it's not too OT.

It's a mix of piracy history, code golfing, free speech activism, art, digital community, and general ingenuity that ends up being a critique of digital copyright under the DMCA. Also found the quote at the end of the table to be sadly still very relevant.

I'm working on self hosting a e-cloud server ( for e/os phones). The mail server component of it wants to have a rDNS PTR record from my public IP back to mail.<myDomain.com>. I can't do that since I'm using dDNS and my ISP won't give me that ability unless I have business service (very expensive). The ISP I have is my only choice and I hate them. I have DNS Zones hoisted elsewhere to handle my dDNS scripts for everything but rDNS. So on tyo my question, Anyone know of a way to get a public IP service that will allow me to make a rDNS PTR entry and forward all traffic to my real public IP? Would that even work?

EDIT: Thanks everyone for the suggestions, I have considered VPS but I'm trying to save the extra cost of the VPS and also like the idea of having all my data where I can actually touch it. I was hoping for something like a reverse proxy service I could get with DNS and a static IP (so I could have rDNS) for cheaper than a VPS since I would not need the storage, CPU, etc.
