  • There are Zigbee buttons that don’t even need batteries. They produce the necessary energy to send a signal from the energy you put into clicking them. Incredible stuff out there.

  • If you hold Control that high, then no worries: everything will be under Control.

  • Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Discord isn’t E2EE either. Having data under your control even if not encrypted is a big win.

  • If all your backups are near you, a flood or fire (or even break in) can still cost you all your data. At least one copy should be off-site.

  • For 7 people you could look into Virola Messenger. Not open source but uses Mumble under the hood and is super lightweight. No electron shit.

  • XMPP is also still a thing and IMO much easier to host (at least ejabberd is). Look into Movim, which looks quite nice as a discord replacement on top of XMPP.

  • Before you start your own, contribute to Revolt Stoatchat.

  • Oh yeah. Good to know I am not alone with this.

  • Ah ok, thanks for the clarification. In the end I also use Sunshine for game streaming, but for pure remote desktop access RustDesk is far nicer, since I can also quickly move files back and forth. RDP is even nicer in that regard, where I can remote-mount local devices.

  • Where does rustdesk not have a good reputation? I see it being recommended regularly and also use it myself heavily. Never had issues or heard about issues (that I would attribute to reputation).

  • True. The default rocksdb is completely unusable on HDDs. For me it runs pretty good with PostgreSQL. Dovecot was certainly easier to handle with its file based storage and was super fast. But Postfix was a pain and I can't count how often it bit me over the years (and since it's SMTP, that means something broke in receiving, delivery or was suddenly a spam vector, which all sucks quite hard).

  • Stalwart

    Written in rust, contains SMTP, IMAP, JMAP, Sieve, CalDAV, CardDAV, WebDAV. Has an admin web ui. Sane defaults, minimal foot guns. No zoo of containers needed.

  • In business notebook comparison they are well within the norm. For private use … yeah, that’s a lifestyle choice.

  • I don’t get what makes this game so special that Geoff Keighley hyped it so much. That this thing was the big surprise that ended the game awards show was completely underwhelming. Out of the show, Highguard was the most generic game presentation. There was absolutely nothing about this game that seemed new or even interesting. Just the next hero shooter with comic look.

  • I use Kopia to perform incremental encrypted backups (with some retention policy of up to two years) and store them on Backblaze B2, which is reasonably cheap.

  • The 3D stuff around games is actually the smaller problem. It's performance critical but it's basically "just" one API (bundle) to implement that then covers a big chunk of the game's implementation.

    Productivity software usually consists of a shit ton of other stuff. They would probably render fine, but then they ship with a weird ass licensing management system that will deny to work. Or parts of or even a whole app use .NET and suddenly you have the complexity of all the WinAPI calls hidden behind .NET Framework. Maybe the app does a few lowlevel WinAPI calls themselves on top, that Wine didn't need to implement so far. Or the app you want to run is only distributed via Windows Store as UWP; the necessary APIs also haven't been implemented yet.

    Wine is awesome, but it's not fully covering all the shit Window's APIs offer.

  • A company that lets you use Linux as a main OS might not like if you also want to run Windows in a VM.

    My point was rather to be careful when you use it, to not get into legal trouble (especially because it just works with the default settings).

  • Unless you somehow use it commercially. Then the missing license could cause legal issues.

  • That's what I like about Siyuan and Affine. I can have journal-like daily notes to quickly dump thoughts, but I can then re-arrange or cross-reference individual blocks in(to) other pages, that in turn can be in a nested folder structure and/or tagged. I can quite flexibly mix and match organization structures.

  • Linux @lemmy.ml

    AMD GPUs are cursed for me
