I’ve done this before, it’s definitely a bit of a hack but it went without a hitch for me. Depending on your bootloader you’ll probably have to edit/regenerate your bootloader config as well.
Good call on rsync, just make sure to use the right flags. I’m on Arch so I used the command from the Arch page on full system backup using rsync, but it should work for any distro.
i3 will have lower requirements, since it’s just a bare window manager. XFCE is about as lightweight as a fully featured desktop environment can get, whereas with i3 you have to bring your own tools.
Incidentally, you can use i3 as the window manager portion of XFCE if you want.
Distributions often ship their own compiled versions of the kernel, with some options changed, but it’s still Linux. Same with GNU tools. But the main difference between distros isn’t their flavor of GNU tools or what kernel they ship, the difference between distros is actually all the stuff that gets layered on top like the package manager.
I think that’s part why BG3 has taken off so much, honestly. We’ve had so many open world games with ridiculously large maps that a lot of people are disillusioned with the lack of depth.
BG3 with its narrower scope makes for a much deeper experience. I would love a game that can do both depth and breadth, but these games already are a massive undertaking.
The WoK comments at least are from the WoK thread in Daystrom. They probably wouldn’t have been removed if they were on Risa, because Risa is a much more casual environment
Daystrom is a community for largely serious discussion, and they’ve always removed content that’s entirely jokey or lacks substance. This stuff would be removed on the subreddit too. Honestly, the lemmy community is a lot more lenient
I would really advise against Replika, they’ve shown some scummy business practices. It seems like kind of a nightmare in terms of taking advantage of vulnerable people. At the very least do some research on it before getting into it.
I’m not sure of the cause, but this is an issue with the Web Player on the Jellyfin app. You can fix it by going to Settings -> Client Settings -> Video Player Type and selecting Integrated Player or External Player.
I find it disappointing that everyone’s first suggestion in the selfhosted community is Cloudflare. It seems to run counter to the spirit of selfhosting to hand off the last part to the giant corporation that controls 90% of the Internet.
Most of what Cloudflare does—if it’s necessary at all—can be replicated with a cheap (or free) VPS sitting in front of your network on a VPN, and the remainder doesn’t matter for most selfhosted use cases.
If it ends porn blackmail, it also ends photographic evidence. I think that’s significantly worse.
And sure the tech is bad if you just type a name directly into a model, but if you take the time to refine it it gets pretty good, and it’s only going to get better over time. It’s time to start thinking about a future where this tech exists.
I worry that the cat is out of the bag on this. The tech for this stuff is out there, and you can run it on your home computer, so barring some sort of massive governmental overreach I don’t see a way to stop it.
They can’t even stop piracy and there’s the full weight of the US copyright industry behind it. How are they going to stop this tech?
Leftists use the term liberal to refer to people who are moderates, e.g. the Democrats rather than the communists. Liberals often hold some progressive ideals, but ultimately believe it should happen within the context of capitalism and our existing systems.
Hexbear hates on liberals a lot, but they’re hating on them because they’re not progressive enough. It’s not a right wing thing.
I just thought it was weird that you were saying “they’re trying to make a leftist version of the Donald” and “we have to call them out before it takes hold” like they’re not already here and in force. The problems we’re having right now descend from the just how established they are as a community, and the Federation isn’t as established yet, so there’s a lot of friction and no one quite knows how to handle the other.
There’s no conspiracy here, it’s just culture shock.
