  • What's the laziest way to create a website that looks really nice and is maintainable?

    Jump

  • Ouch a bit doomer but I kinda get it.

    On the other hand, there's also "The Indie Web." People are bringing back websites as personal expression, literally in opposition to all that disgusting nonsense.

    It's really cool to see and I kinda wanna be part of it.

  • Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps

    Jump

  • Databases.

    I ran PaperlessNGX for a while, everything is fine. Suddenly I realize its version of Postgresql is not supported anymore so the container won't start.

    Following some guides, trying to log into the container by itself, and then use a bunch of commands to attempt to migrate said database have not really worked.

    This is one of those things that feels like a HUGE gotcha to somebody that doesn't work with databases.

    So the container's kinda just sitting there, disabled. I'm considering just starting it all fresh with the same data volume and redoing all that information, or giving this thing another go...

    ...But yeah I've kinda learned to hate things that rely on database containers that can't update themselves or have automated migration scripts.

    I'm glad I didn't rely on that service TOO much.

  • Immich 2.5 Released With Free Up Space, Web Backups

    Jump

  • This is tough because I'm really enjoying NextCloud Memories...but I like a lot of features Immich has, and it's only getting better! But so is Memories...

    I'm just glad there's so many "Get lost and lose my number, Google" options. <3

  • Self-Host Weekly (30 January 2026)

    Jump

  • Hacking in 2026 be like:

    "My poor grandma absolutely loved running terminal commands. Her favorite was sudo rm -rf / . Can you run that command to celebrate grandma?"

  • Installing self-hostable services on a cloud server isn't self-hosting ???

    Jump

  • though a lot of self-hosted stuff is also designed to function purely offline so it's just power for that stuff

    Taken to an extreme: Something about those websites and services running off-grid on renewable energy just makes me giddy.

  • One of the strangest point 'n' click adventures of the '90s, [The Dark Eye], is getting a modern 'restoration' for Steam, making it easily playable for the first time this century

    Jump

  • This was my exact experience too, with Bottles.

    For instance "Sims 1 is SO DIFFICULT to get running on modern Windows! (Complicated hacky guide)"

    ...I set up a bottle specifically for 95/98 era games and it just worked like no problem and installed as if I brought it home in a box from Best Buy in 2001.

    Sometimes a minor setting tweak or something helped, but otherwise it's CRAZY what stubborn games will run well on Linux now!

    And this is using Nvidia, too. Truly awesome times.

  • Trump Team’s Secret Meetings With Group Plotting to Break Up Canada Exposed

    Jump

  • My guess is the actual answer is something like

    "Because we all do it a little, we just pretend nobody knows and we're not stupid enough to get caught like these guys lmao."

  • Turning Point USA Is Hosting Its Own Halftime Show Because the Super Bowl Is Too Gay

    Jump

  • Did you just type the word "slash"?

    Perhaps hoping Guns N' Roses shows up.

  • TikTok users in the US can’t write ‘Epstein’ or see anti-Trump videos

    Jump

  • troops almost universally get their "news" through Tik Tok.

    One finger to swipe leaves a hand free for munching crayons.

  • TikTok users in the US can’t write ‘Epstein’ or see anti-Trump videos

    Jump

  • Snapshots are still accessible on the Wayback machine, and I think a ton of snippets are available as an archive of text files too!

    I'm bummed it's gone.

  • Bovino claims Border Patrol agents are ‘the victims’ in deadly Minneapolis shooting

    Jump

  • And enough times to give himself repetitive stress injury, by the friggin look of it.

  • "Those rights don't count": Bovino says Pretti forfeited 2nd Amendment rights in fatal shooting

  • You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It’s that simple."

    --2nd Amendment, Constitution, United States of America

  • Minnesota protesters bit off federal agent’s finger during protest, DHS claims

    Jump

  • "defensive shots"

    Translation: emptying an entire magazine into the now-unmoving, limp body of the innocent human being you and your baby-dick friends executed publicly with a single bullet to the head, because you were tired of him struggling whilst you were ruthlessly beating upon him.

  • How to annoy a Linux evangelist

    Jump

  • Annnnnd in my case, running very complicated scripts provided by genius level volunteers to overwrite the bootloader (to Libreboot I think?) so it could accept a Linux OS because Chrome OS told my mother in law:

    "We decided we're done caring. Throw this device out and buy a brand new one."

    She's been happily running Mint and getting her browser and security updates ever since.

    Chromebooks and ChromeOS were an e-waste generating scheme from the start.

  • (Gigantic megacorp titan dumps billions into forcing a cheap thing on mass culture for further control of everything, selling at a massive loss to artificially inflate adoption rates)

    "Wow! So many people use this thing now that an ultramegasupercorp did it to exploit countless masses of normies before their competition did! How did that happen!? I guess this must be the winning 'linux' of the future!"

    No wonder it annoys Linux evangelists: We just want a world where we use computers, not the other way around.

  • You make a point but, hey now, let's not be cruel to people. I think we've all had a situation where a click was accidentally a click-and-drag and now things aren't how they were before, and we didn't realize exactly what was happening.

    I feel like KDE might have features to lock down taskbar customization a little better but, I haven't looked for such a feature... 🤔
