  • Are advent wreaths a thing outside of Germany?

    Jump

  • Weird. These are really popular with Catholic people in Canada. They are found in Catholic Churches, schools and usually the center of dinner tables during Advent. It's always an evergreen wreath with 3 purple candles, 1 pink candle and 1 center candle which is unusually white. The wreaths at church get lit at Sunday Mass, one candle for each week of Advent then the center one on Christmas. Generally wreaths at dinner tables are the same but you will light them at Sunday dinner (I can't remember if they get lit throughout the week as well and you just light the same number of candles as the same week of Advent)

    I know people who aren't religious or no longer are, sometimes still use a wreath without candles as a centerpiece for their dinner table in the winter. It just provides a nice Christmas feel, similar to a door wreath

  • What is your development environment?

    Jump

  • Work: RustRover on MacOS Personal: RustRover on Bazzite

    Mainly language support plugins: Python, .env, mermaid

  • Maybe we don't need a server

    Jump

  • I've found LocalSend really nice for this purpose. If you need to send stuff over your wifi to other devices but not sync it in the background it's really nice

  • Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux

    Jump

  • Thunderbolt is exactly that.

    Thunderbolt 2 and Mini Displayport used to have the same connector. Since Thunderbolt 3, it now uses the USB C connector.

    Thunderbolt 5 supports Displayport 2.1. I wish more devices used Thunderbolt compatible USB C ports. Or GPUs came with a Thunderbolt port on them. They're pretty awesome, it's like better USB C.

    It seems like only laptops really use them to allow docking through a single cable

  • Linux Antivirus?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure you really need an anti virus with Bazzite? Because it is immutable and has rolling releases it's generally pretty up to date and secure

    If you were running a more traditional distro it might be more of a requirement

  • Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026]

    Jump

  • Hmm this makes me wonder if the Steam Deck 2 will be ARM. If the Steam Frame works well, that could be a way for Valve to push more performance/battery life out of the deck

  • I keep waffling on Proxmox. Sell me. For or against.

    Jump

  • This. Even if you were going to run a bare metal server it's almost always nicer to install Proxmox and just have a single VM

  • Linus Torvalds Vents Over "Completely Crazy Rust Format Checking"

    Jump

  • I like that rust is opinionated by default. It reminds me of prettier. I don't have to argue with teams about what code style were using. I can open up any rust project and know it's readable and formatted with the same specification as any other rust project

  • The Open Printer Is a Raspberry Pi Zero W-Powered, Fully-Open, Highly-Flexible Inkjet Printer

    Jump

  • That's a really good idea. Something like OpenWrt but for printers would be amazing.

    It's funny, they have their own hardware now. Maybe starting with a open source printer firmware would eventually lead to open source printer hardware.

  • The Open Printer Is a Raspberry Pi Zero W-Powered, Fully-Open, Highly-Flexible Inkjet Printer

    Jump

  • I've always thought it was interesting we have open source 3D printers but with how often 2D printers break and how expensive ink is no one has made an open source 2D printer. It's nice to see some progress in this field

  • Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting?

    Jump

  • This reminds me of a question I saw a couple years ago. It was basically why would you stick with bare metal over running Proxmox with a single VM.

    It kinda stuck with me and since then I've reimaged some of my bare metal servers with exactly that. It just makes backup and restore/snapshots so much easier. It's also really convenient to have a web interface to manage the computer

    Probably doesn't work for everyone but it works for me

  • What was your first distro?

    Jump

  • Ubuntu 12.04. I really tried to use it as a daily but wine wasn't as good back then, a lot of apps I wanted to run were also platform specific. If a package wasn't in your distros repo you had to try and build it from source which was really difficult for someone just trying to start with Linux. I tried again with Ubuntu 16.04 and it was better but still wasn't quite there.

    Fast forward to now and I'm actually dailying Bazzite 42. I'm not sure if wine has just improved a ton or proton has helped out a lot but windows compatibility has improved so much in the last decade. As much as everyone hates Electron for being heavier than native apps I would prefer an Electron app over no Linux version. Actually a lot of the apps I want to run now ship Linux versions so I don't even need wine for most things.

    Flatpaks and appimages with Gear Lever have made installing apps on Linux as easy as Windows and MacOS. It might not seem like it but it's come a long way

  • GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation

    Jump

  • I'm running a self hosted Gitlab instance right now but thinking of switching to Forgejo. Anyone tried both and have thoughts on each?

  • Slicer software for a Linux system?

    Jump

  • Hmm I'm using it on Bazzite with KDE, which is based off Fedora 42 atomic. I haven't really noticed any issues with it, though I haven't printed anything in awhile

  • Slicer software for a Linux system?

    Jump

  • I use PrusaSlicer from Flathub. I was using PrusaSlicer on Windows before switching to Linux. I've been using it since the original Slic3r stopped getting updates. Because it's available as a flatpak it should work on pretty much any distro and immutable distros

  • Immutable Linux OS to run Incus

    Jump

  • As someone unfamiliar with Incus is this kinda similar to Proxmox? I would love an immutable version of Proxmox. This seems pretty cool

  • Featured

    Okay why is your distro the best?

    Jump

  • Bazzite has a KDE version too. I think it is more popular then the GNOME version of bazzite actually. At least according to the results of the latest steam survey

  • What do you play in your phone?

    Jump

  • Pinball Deluxe Reloaded

    It's a fun little time waster, I like that I don't have any ads on it either

  • Hey Lemmy, what browser do you use and why?

    Jump

  • I switched to Firefox from Chrome back when they were branding it as Firefox Quantum and honestly I have been happy with it. It has been just as fast as Chrome if not faster, it might use more memory but unused memory means your computer could be caching more.

    I don't love the stuff Mozilla has been doing recently but it's not enough to make me switch. I think the brand redesign in 2024 was pretty horrible, moz://a was genius design compared to the P thing they have now. I think they have also been chasing AI stuff recently. Mozilla has done some pretty cool things in the past though like Rust, Servo and Fluent.
