How do you theme a wm like qtile to look good?
  • Most of the "looks" come from the compositor (picom) and the bar.

  • [Question] What are your computers named?
  • I call my desktop loseldoom but my servers are fugit and opti :P

  • Nextcloud files not displaying after restoring from a backup
  • occ files:scan --all (or something like that)

  • Which non-standard / unpopular launcher do you use?
  • "mLauncher" from Fdroid, it is a fork of OlauncherCF

  • [Question] If using linux , where are your sources of games and what are cs.rin.ru clean steam files and how to use them?
  • I'm like you pretty new to all of this, but one thing I now is that you shouldn't use steamunlocked. (It is discouraged on the megathread)

  • what got you into privacy in the first place?
  • When I had reddit (deleted a few years ago), I posted a screenshot of my android launcher, and someone pointed out that I was using google apps, and said "protect your privacy", he gave me some resources and that's where it all clicked for me. What a nice guy.

  • Saving Vivaldi Social from doom: A Sysadmin adventure
  • I read the full blog post from the linked blog of a sysadmin there, and it was worth the read, what a ride.

  • How do you pick a host to open an instance on?
  • Bonus: Instance and community

  • New moderators wanted
  • Decentralization is king here

  • Beginner's Guides for Switching to Linux?
  • Linux mint is in my opinion the best distro for a new user, but you may personally not be fond of the UI.

    I don't know how to write a guide for you, but if you have more specific questions feel free to ask them, best of luck!

  • [2023] Thanks for joining!
  • wouldn't yearly be too frequent?

  • 6 HOURS LEFT!
  • Sad to see it finish so soon :(

  • Hidden Among Us
  • That's my favorite amongus so far

  • Share your migration story!
  • I deleted reddit years ago and now joined lemmy

  • People replying "not a shower thought!" creep me out. Like... how do you know what I do in the shower??
  • A shower thought is not simply "a thought you have in the shower", it is actually written in the sidebar:

    Miniature epiphanies you have that highlight the oddities within the familiar.

    That's why folks will reply with "not a shower thought", and I agree with them.

  • Proton 8.0-3 Released With More Windows Games Running On Linux, Fixes
  • I also have a 240hz but it works fine? I've never heard of this, although I still hate the nvidia drivers for many things

  • What's your opinion on Opera browser?
  • Opera is just chromium with extra spyware and shit. Firefox is mentioned a lot because it is foss, and my favorite browser for that matter.

  • How to selfhost stremio backend and frontend?

    Hi! I need some help please, I can't seem to be able to figure this out myself.

    --- > Stremio: The Next Generation Media Center

    They have a docker container with the backend, and they also have the web frontend Dockerfile.

    I am running already the backend with docker, but if you go to the ip:port it will redirect to Stremio's own hosted frontend, that then uses your backend.

    But I instead want to host both the frontend and backend, has someone already done this before? I couldn't find much and the Dockerfile is not of much help.

    Thank you!

    Let's get each other up to speed on VM XML's

    So, I got into vfio a few years back when I switched to Linux, just when proton was starting to become a bit more relevant because of the upcoming Valve gaming handheld.

    Nowadays many people have ditched their windows virtual machines to play games, because many games we want to play already work. But.. Sadly there's still some titles that are very strict on anti-cheat.

    Then comes the reasoning of this post. It has been long since I've last looked into vfio tweaks because I left reddit shortly after getting interested on vfio.

    TLDR: Please share the xml tweaks that you have applied to your gaming vm's to improve anti cheat compatibility, I will be thankful and hopefully we will improve each others setups.

    No Stupid [Lemmy] Questions - The place to ask all your questions about Lemmy and the fediverse itself, a way to not fill up the original "No Stupid Questions" with questions from new users.

    No Stupid Lemmy Questions

    [email protected]

    The community is new and right now I am the only mod, but in the near future I will carefully add trusted people to help me moderate this place if it gets big enough.

    This community is made with the objective of hopefully improving the onboarding experience for new users and the overall experience for veteran users alike, by sharing our questions and knowledge.

    As you can imagine this community is heavily inspired by "No Stupid Questions", the idea behind this new one is too take off the lemmy/fediverse questions out of the original, because it has become a support community.

    Need help with my setup, ECC for all?

    Is it safe for data integrity to use a "non ECC mini pc" that runs docker containers from the volumes of a "NAS with ECC ram"?

    Or does the mini pc also require ECC ram for the data integrity?

    Sorry if it is a noob question.
