As a young Norwegian I can say that I've saved a bit of money by pirating. I have a nas with 10s of tb of movies disney or Warner bros can't delete from my library.

Or in physics terms, potential energy.

I switched from duckdns about a year ago as it failed to resolve the addresses for my jellyfin server. I ended up buying a domain from cloudflare for 3 years for about $4, and I self-hosted ddns updater to automatically grab the dynamic ip, and set it to a subdomain.

As for your nginx config, I'd imagine you could make 2 separate config files in sites-enabled that are nearly identical, but listen for different domains. Something like this:


#config file 1 
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example_a.com;

    location / {
        return 301 http://example_c.com$request_uri;
	#or use an ip instead of example_c.com
    }
}

#config file 2
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example_b.com;

    location / {
        return 301 http://example_c.com$request_uri;
	#or use an ip instead of example_c.com
    }
}


#Or use "proxy_pass http://example_c.com;" in the location tag instead of "return 301..." if you want to reverse proxy the traffic

1.5Tb data cap, jeez. I regularly push 6tb of monthly traffic by myself. This feels like mobile internet all over again, but now with wired...

Funnily enough noone noticed that anything was "out of the ordinary". The event organizer, who isn't techy, asked to use my pc so he could transfer some assets for display, sent them over, right clicked the photoshop files, and opened them in a cracked photoshop program i installed using wine. He then proceeded to add some finishing touches and export them as png files without noticing this pc wasn't running windows.

The thing that caused the most hiccups wasn't the os/software, but the hardware. The camera crew handed me some thunderbolt capture cards which didn't work because my $300 laptop which I got for free didn't support thunderbolt. We switched to some usb capture cards, and they worked perfectly without any configuring.

So I guess Linux has reached the title of It just works™️ (at least for this use case)

Thx. It's the title screen background from the Interea visual novel :3

We had the display to ourselves, so we dug around in the settings of the scaler but couldn't find anything that might set the resolution or aspect ratio. The goal was to keep this thing running for the show so we didn't want to break anything by messing up the settings.

[–] Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago

I wonder how that bug happens from a programming standpoint. Despite that bug, it didn't crash or misbehave during the entire 2 day show, so I'm happy.

[–] Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

The native resolution of that thing was something along the lines of 1500x1000, but the scaler only accepted 1920x1080, and 1920x1200. Both resolutions had the same top and bottom bars so we assumed something got disconnected during transit, and we didn't bother fixing it as all content was in 16:9 anyways.

For the pictures with hyfetch I just captured the display of the laptop in obs and forwarded it to the big screen as that was more convenient than fiddling with the terminal window on a screen I couldn't see from laptop's position.

Too bad the desk space sucks...

Anyways here's the real setup that was controlling that big ass screen

Also sorry if the text formatting is messed up (I am posting from mobile)

Hey y'all, today I experienced another push for Linux from our friend Microsoft. 5 minutes ago, I wanted to use the timer app on Windows, so I could manage my work/break schedule, and this fucker showed up. Yes, that's a prompt to sign in with a Microsoft account to use the clock. If you close it, it pops up 30s later. Clicking “Don't sign in” or closing the process responsible for displaying it is useless, and guess what… IT PAUSES THE TIMER WHEN IT SHOWS UP.

I guess this is another thing added to the super long list of things which will eventually make me switch my main workstation to Linux once win10 is discontinued.

/endrant

Hope y'all are having a great day :3
