Whatcha playing, Opa?
  • You either buy the expensive prebuilt one (zero gravity chair or scorpion like gaming chair) or you could MacGyver it yourself using used kid hamster wheel from abandoned play ground near you.

  • Whatcha playing, Opa?
  • How long can he play until the neck hurt?

    If It's me, I'll replace the chair with a reclining one, lap table for the keyboard and mouse. A massage chair would be nice.

  • Automated installation of multiple applications after a fresh OS install? (Fedora)
  • Using ansible will help you on your 2nd, 3rd , nth install.

    But getting ansible to do what you want (plus testing) for the first time would takes 10x longer than manual install.

    I think there's xkcd about that.

  • If I remember correctly, there was a button or a setting that will turn the white-cyan-pink-black pallet to yellow-green-red-black.

  • Anon wants to be a vampire
  • There's one already, where the vampire is a head of state and religius leader. (Luminous Valentine)

  • Linux Server OSes?
  • I would like to default to debian 12 if I have to start fresh.

    The Ganeti Cluster was installed on Debian 10 then when 11 launched, I upgraded it. It's a 10 nodes cluster and I just don't have time to upgrade it yet. The last update to 11 took me a week to troubleshoot.

  • Linux Server OSes?
  • What we use in my office, depends on the type of servers:

    • For virtual server (we made a golden template of it) we use Debian 12
    • For virtualization host/ganeti cluster we use Debian 11
    • For NAS, we use OpenMediaVault (based on Debian)
  • Schools in America apparently have their own army recruiter
  • While in my country, some recruitee bribe the recruiter to be able to join...

  • Self-hosted or personal email solutions?
  • I'm an admin of a self hosted iRedMail (with iRedAdmin Pro).

    My advice is: Don't.

    Getting an email server running is easy. Managing them is not.

    There are some good advice here. Use commercial service with personal domain.

  • Can I edit .docx files without a Microsoft 365 subscription and if not are there any alternatives
  • I second every suggestions about Libreoffice. It's free, open source and works in Windows, MacOS and Linux.

    The problems lies in the different rendering engine. If you have table of contents, floating image and anything that impact text flow; it will be rendered differently between the two apps.

    I still use Libreoffice as my primary editor, but if I need to send docs to other people, I will export it to PDF. But if I really need to send docx or pptx, I will format it in WPS office before sending the docs to others.

  • I miss her so much
  • Did somebody manage to make Arch the BTW edition?

  • Do you know of any obscure useful websites?
  • Sadly, today I was greeted with this message: We have discontinued our stain solution website.

  • So, from 0 to Nokia's burning platform memo, where is he at?

  • Noob question: what to arrange before switching to linux
  • It should be fine with gnome and Wayland.

    But, if you use KDE Plasma and Wayland, don't install Nvidia proprietary driver.

    I have to get back to KDE Plasma 5 and XOrg until Plasma 6 is released.

  • Hey, the A.I said it not me.
  • Well, there is a J-Novel with title Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?! where the world average takes into account the state of the absolute maximum and the absolute minimum.

    So an average strength human would be between an amoeba and a dragon.

  • A symptom of linux past traumas
  • The only time I got my grub overwritten was when I have to update bios/firmware from Windows. After bios/firmware update, the update app always restore windows boot manager and I need to reinstall grub from live environment.

  • What happens when Linus dies/retires?
  • We need to consider truck-kun factor, where the developer get isekai-ed.

  • Debian 12 Taskbar Freezes
  • Not on Debian, but I got this freezing with KDE Plasma Wayland with Nvidia driver. KDE Plasma Xorg works though.

    My Intel iris laptop works fine with KDE Plasma Wayland.

    OOT. My phone autocorrect Xorg to corgi 😂 but I cought it before sending.
