nix allows for flakes which are 100% reproducible (ie. you copy paste a flake it would do the intended stuff only) , this make me realize that now we can have flakes for games like do you want inscryption , sure add this flake and this would install all dependencies and lutris etc. and you just have to link us to the gog-games.to / fitgirl-repack / dodi-repack variant (preferrably , gog-games.to since you can verify it with gog) (i have picked only the goat of gaming piracy from megathread) , imo this can give huge boost to gaming in linux and wine is literally really close to giving native performance and you wont even see the difference

the same logic can be applied to ms excel , powerpoint etc. but i dont see the point after using libreoffice (literally the best thing ever)

Hello fellow lemmy users ,

i was wondering whats the best file sharing protocol/app/website , tbh send.vis.ee seems to be currently the best to me but still i wanted your opinion here are things i found

1. Localsend
2. ffsend
3. croc
4. webtorrent
5. magic-wormhole
6. using curl on 0x0.st or pixeldrain
7. (anonfiles has left so thats sad)
8. rsync / ssh
9. onionshare
10. ipfs

#from what i am hearing , magic-wormhole makes the most sense since they seem to be the most open standard of sharing files but still seems incomplete or the lack of information on such topic makes me feels wierd.

croc seems to have a lot of cve and magic wormhole passed that test from suse's audit. webtorrent seems to fit in a wierd niche and its implementations like file.pizza arent really that well built ( considering you cant send multi files over there)

i would prefer cli but gui's as well so that i can send it to somebody else , i would like foss protocol since we can build on that other apps as well , and earlier i used to use shareit which was so bad that literally the govt pulled it because of chinese concerns
currently using localsend but warp (magic-wormhole)/warpinator is also looking good

I dont understand why threat actors / hackers use telegram which obtains your phone number and not simplex or even signal for that matter

Hello , dear lemmy users , I am starting to really like self-host because they are really fast and mostly i use open source stuff (like lemmy /photon etc) which were sometimes slow but after self hosting it now on the pc i am on using , i really like it

Now , I would like to host some stuff like jellyfin , navindrome , photon , adgaurd home and just leave it running on a device in maybe near future (i can convince my brother to pay for it , after he gets his job maybe)

TLDR : I wanted to ask What's your favourite alternative to raspberry pi for simple self hosting or maybe possible near home automation

Edit: thank you all for helping me , I am starting to believe that i should look into using dell wyse or the likes which are meant to be used for hosting or a old laptop (since i dont own a laptop anyway , i just own a pc ) and since i run linux anyways , i am thinking of owning a laptop dual booting it with alpine (that has docker) and a simple minimalist os like hyprland on it just in case i need to travel with it (which to me seems very unlikely , I dont travel much so..) I am confused about it

Edit 2 : I am very new to self hosting so currently i would run stuff on my pc only (using portainer) , However when needed to buy , i am thinking of buying the cheapest thin client maybe a nuc or dell wyse

I am already trying searxng , shiori(bookmark manager) , portainer,freshrss , photon , froodle-s pdf tool which i have all closed except portainer currently I am also thinking of shifting to podman as well but cant find a good gui for it like portainer , (portainer really just blew my mind with its templates)

So Recently I came across stirling-pdf through this community only and i was wondering if something like this but for images exist

https://www.iloveimg.com/

(i wanted to upload image but there is smth wrong which i would look later into )

Hello dear lemmy users , I am a fellow linux enthusiast who found about a particular website which made this image I hope you like it , lemmy fellows :) I would post this on other platforms like reddit /hackernews with the body being you should use lemmy

I personally think 7th one is really cool

Here are all the photos i took about linux *(pls note these are 20 images , if you want people i can maybe delete this post since it may look spam and there are more images that you may like as well that you may like)

(you may have to scroll really much to see the comment section , i am sry for that)

(some of these also take pacman since pacman is part of arch linux utility which is linux and the distro i use , i tried to incorporate Linux tusk into it but i couldn't i would look into that later 😀 )

(i hope you enjoy)*

Dear fellow pirates , for me downloading movies is the easy part but downloading games like portal 2 and inscryption which have native support but i still have to look for repacks from fitgirl and dodi because i think they are safe 0.) can someone provide me with what the bug is that i cant get sound in inscryption game from fitgirl repack in linux

1.)I know about cs.rin.ru and the goldberg emulator and clean files but i dont know much about them can someone pls tell?

2.) are the clean steam files 100% virus-free or can someone infect it as well

3.)How good are sites like torrminator which provide native linux support for games

4.)Can someone tell me how to please make the game of inscryption in fitgirl repacks have sound on lutris with wine?

hello fellow sailers , hope you're having a nice day , a few months back i switched to arch linux because my computer has good ram but not that good gpu , but now i would like to play some og games like portal 2 , portal 1 , inscryption etc from fitgirl repacks and i have scoured through many guides but nothing just works , too complicated. can't there be a simple guide with preferably images or something like that (like a website /blog maybe?) I would really appreciate that since many of my friends may like to join linux ship but they are pirates like me as well who wouldn't be able to play games on linux. #Fitgirl-repacks,#Linux
