You could, but for many of us, the point of having access to our services is to have access from anywhere :-)

No no no, with gods, you can kind of shop around, most of them won’t mind much, at least not in the ‘send a lightning bolt down to fry Mothra@mander.xyz’ kind of way. Essentially, gods need people to believe in them (so they can exist), and people need someone to blame. Offler, the crocodile-headed god, is quite popular, as is Blind Io, chief of the gods.

I work in IT, so in my headcannon, I pray to the gods of DNS. Put into a classical context, I imagine this is Hermes from Greek mythology (messenger of the gods), Thoth from Egyption mythology, etc.

Completely honestly though - I think faith is similar to energy, in the ‘conservation of energy’ type of way. So the total amount of faith humanity holds has stayed the same, but instead of praying to gods, we now have faith in things like… Ryzen processors. DNS. Manual transmissions. Black coffee. Subaru. These are just some of the things I have faith in, if you asked my daughter, the answers would probably be Peppa Pig, mom & dad, Everest the Paw Patrol character, a blue baloon, cheesecake is best cake, her stuffed animal squid, etc. Both answers are completely valid :-)

I played Morrowind back in the day and I completely agree, I couldn’t play it now, just don’t have the capacity. The journaling in that game of specific quests was pretty bad, as was the horrible leveling system.

I mean, for Morrowind at the time I played it, I probably didn’t even realise modding was a thing, I must have played it around 2005 or so :-)

Insightful, thanks. I’ve recemtly gone from a tech position to a more sales oriented one and I’m constantly agitated by the passive language sales and marketing people use. I’ve actually started using AI to understand calls I’m on because I have trouble following all the sales BS.

I mainly play iRacing with some Slay the Spire here and there, but this week I’ve been playing a bunch of Dragonsweeper, such a great game (kind of weird it’s not on iOS yet). Also just re-installed Darkest Dungeon (1) from GOG.

I remember playing both Morrowind and Oblivion with like a ton of notes on how exactly to level up my character, not to min/max but to keep the game from scaling the difficulty too much.

I’d rather see a remake of Morrowind over Oblivion, though. I have the game on GOG but I don’t have the time in my life to go through all the mods to make it playable (especially getting the journalling system up to par with modern games).

Wow, I’m completely out of the loop as far as Linux on the desktop is concerned (run Debian on a bunch of servers, used to run Debian on a laptop as well), but Bazzite looks really cool!

Fair enough, would love to read something like this :-)

Yeah, I’ve been into Linux for 20 years, sometimes a bit on/off, as an all-around-sysadmin in mainly Windows places. And learned just enough of Docker to use it instead of apt - which I’d prefer, but as you said, many newer services don’t exist in debian repos or as .deb packages, only docker or similar.

Follow-up question: do you have any good resources to start with for a simple overview on how we should be using containers? I’m not a developer, and from my experiences most documentation on the topic I’ve come across targets developers and devops people. As someone else mentioned, I use docker because it’s the way lots of things happen to be packaged - I’m more used to the Debian APT way of doing things.

Honestly, I never really thought of installing Docker directly on Proxmox. I guess that might be a simpler solution, to run Dockers directly, but I kind of like to keep the hypervisor more stripped down.

It’s a dedicated server (a small Dell micro-pc). Thanks for the comment, I understand the logic, I was approaching it more from an end-user perspective of what’s easier to work with. Which given my skill set are LXC containers. I have a VM on top of Proxmox specifically for Docker :-)

Yup, this is me exactly. I’ve been planning on going more indepth but haven’t found the time. Inunderstand Linux and how to use LXCs, docker less so.

Ghostfolio looks really neat, thanks! I wonder, can it import data from say Interactive Brokers?

Seconding Caddy. I’ve been using it for a couple of years now in an LXC and it’s been very easy to setup, edit and run.

Yeah, but this has been 15 years in the making… So many people say that they ‘don’t use Facebook, it’s just where I get my news…’. Which is how we got into this mess in the first place.

Nice, great shot. Feels peaceful.

I feel both of these. I’m 40 and yeah, sleeping slightly weirdly I get shoulder pain the next day. Working out regularly has definitely helped things. Also for alcohol, I have to be careful to also include non-alcoholic drinks in an evening, say a non-alcoholic beer or something before the real thing.

I’d say CPU doesn’t matter in terms of compatibility, but that AMD does have the edge at the moment on Intel in terms of performance, energy use, etc. Especially considering Intel’s problems with their 13th and 14th gen Core CPUs.

To add to this, I think in general AMD offers a bit better bang-for-buck at the moment, at least in the low and mid-tiers.
