Why does hosting Lemmy require a display? in c/[email protected]

I think there is some info missing. You’re using SSH to access the server where you are running the docker image? Why does your server have X server installed?

I have no experience running Lemmy. It could be the Lemmy instance includes X server to run some kind of GUI? Seems strange.

I’m considering purchasing a steamdeck. I may be away from my computer when I get the steamdeck. Could there be any issues with setting up games without access to a computer with my steam account? I assume cloud saves will be available. What about setting up a game that requires rockstar launcher?

Edit: Thanks for the feedback. It looks like the answer is no, I don’t need access to a computer with my steam account.

I would second Elixir. Either that or Rust. Sure both are popular, but for good reason.

They are completely different from the languages you use.

You will be introduced to new paradigms.

As a person who used the same stack as you (albeit typescript instead of JavaScript), I think it would be a waste of time to learn C#. It is so close to Java, and learning it may make you hate having to use Java, because it seems a bit better put together. Even though it runs on Linux, and is a good language, I don’t think there is ever a reason to chose it over Java, because M$.

Manjaro Gnome worked with my Lenovo T480s out of the box.

What's an elegant way of automatically backing up the contents of a large drive to multiple smaller drives that add up to the capacity of the large drive? (on Linux) in c/[email protected]

You could create a Python script to do this. There is a library called psutil that would help. Basically,

  • iterate over mounted drives and see how much each has available
  • based on these values, iterate over your backup files and separate them into chunks that will fit on each drive
  • copy chunks to respective drives

Would be a fun little project even for a beginner I think.

Definitely not humanity’s biggest problem. Chromium becoming the de facto browser creates a situation where one entity controls standards and influences how the web operates, impacting user choice and freedom, and reduces incentives for privacy and security updates.

This already happened once with IE.

I only use Firefox on desktop, but I doubt it will be a relevant choice much longer.

Edit: wrt telemetry, I was referring to the Android operating system. They collect anything and everything on users and all nearby devices.

I see it as a good thing. Apple is not without faults, but anything that keeps Google from harvesting more data is a win for humanity. The Safari browser is the only thing stopping Google’s browser monopoly. Unfortunately it is forced, and 99% of Apple users probably have no clue they are holding up the last line of defense.
