Maybe you can install Arch in Distrobox, then install Merkuro in your arch container?

Zim really is amazing, its the perfect balance with its simple plain text files in folders data structure, but powerful search and back linking. And I love linking to other files on the local file system.

How do you do the LUKS volume upload to cloud? Is it for syncing between devices or just backup? Personally I use (self hosted) NextCloud to sync my Zim between devices.

Yay, finally more non-SUV electric cars.

Oh, it's also made in China. And it's a rebranded Chinese car. The traditional manufacturers really are falling behind in the electric transition.

FlowLauncher looks neat, like KRunner for Windows. Thanks for sharing

Yeah the nodered flow on the target device is for handling shutdown(sleep) and status reporting back to HomeAssistant, so in HA the computer is a simple switch with on/off states

Oh neat!

I made a custom solution for WOL and remote shutdown using nodered and MQTT, but this is so cleaner than maintaining a custom solution

This sounds like a FOSS utopian future :)

There's a few projects that have started towards this path with single-click deployable apps, you could even say HomeAssistant OS does this to some extent my managing the services for you.

I believe one of the biggest hurdle for a "self hosting appliance" is resilience to hardware failure. Noone wants to loose decades of family photos or legal documents due to a SSD going bad , or the cat spilling water on their "hosting box". So automated reliable off-site backups and recovery procedures for both data and configs is key.

Databox from BBC / Nottingham University is also a very interesting concept worth looking in to:

A platform for managing secure access to data and enabling authorised third parties to provide the owner authenticated control and accountability.

The biggest problem with Discord is that its an information black hole. Its not properly searchable and not indexed by search engines.

Discord is fine for casual chat, but horrible when used for forum-type discussions and even worse when used for documentation.

You see the same problems being discussed and solved again and again, but you cant just "link" someone the solution like you could with a forum thread cause its spread out over 3-10 chat messages that are interleaved in-between other topics being discussed in the same room

Anything of long-term value for the project (forum-type discussions, documentation etc) should not recide in Discord

Thanks for the thorough explanation, Fedora atomic, os-tree and Universal blue is such a new and different way of thinking about the OS compared to the traditional desktop installs. It's also a lot of new jargon so thanks for taking the time to explain each component

Thanks for sharing, I have 3 hm90s I'm about to set up ( just waiting for RAM and SSDs ), these crashes sound super frustrating.

I was planning to run them detuned anyway to reduce the strain and temperature on the Power Supply, since its a non-standard USB-C which looks hard or impossible to replace if it breaks some years from now

 

The joys of discovering DRG for the first time and gleefully learning all the mechanics. Extra props for the careful and methodical test to verify if the game has Friendly Fire

Shamelessly copied from https://reddit.com/comments/11fvkw7

OP had success with deleting and recreating the proton folder, and it helped for me too. (Remember to backup your saves!) Also ProtonGE / Glorious Eggroll does seem to work better than vanilla Steam Proton. I have not tried using the plugin loader

You could also try backing up your wine prefix, and then delete it and get steam to regenerate it. This is because sometimes it gets messed up, and not fixed when validating game files or reinstalling the game. It's important to back it up though, since it's where all your saves and workshop items are stored. It's at ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata. The folder name is 244850. Once you've done this, go to {prefix folder}/244850/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Application Data/, and replace the SpaceEngineers folder in the newly generated prefix with the one in the backup (keep hold of the backup though just in case).

There's also some troubleshooting steps in https://www.protondb.com/app/244850, generally I find that randomly copypasting some of the launch options and suggestions from here helps fix a few issues - but don't do the 'protontricks 244850 --force dotnet48' It used to be the only way to get SE to run

Another thing you could try is installing the plugin loader (which surprisingly works on linux) and enabling some of the performance improvements plugins. I haven't firsthand seen any crashes been fixed from this, but it's worth a try, and some of the plugins are worth having in general.

Also: If you add -skipintro (after the %command%) in the steam launch options, you don't have to manually go in and delete the video files.

The see the actual level of hydrogen in a tank, you go the the control meny(K-menu on PC), not the Inventory meny. In the lower right corner it should say how many Liters it's filled, same as for Energy stored in battery.

You can also see how how many LEDs are lit up, for 25, 50, 75 100% on the outside of the tank.

The only thing that goes in the Inventory of a hydrogen tank is the Hydrogen bottles for refilling
