'Let's Go!' Top Economist Applauds as Harris Signals Support for Billionaires Tax in c/news@lemmy.world

Sounds like a solid plan! I would be surprised if the public opinion here would be any different. There are no billionaires on Lemmy.

This is also how I have it set up, with "firefox multi-account containers" and "simple tab groups" working together, you can have multiple containerized accounts within one firefox instance. Works great!

"Double haters" who loathed Trump and Biden actually seem to like Kamala Harris, poll suggests in c/news@lemmy.world

Also, the difference between the tone of the speechea between Harris and Trump are like day and night. Where Trump continues to throw dirt and spew so much negativity, Harris sounds like someone who steps beyond the dirt throwing and really comes with a vision and ideas how to govern the country.

Well, my 2cts from someone on the other end of the Atlantic 😀

At this point I am seriously wondering why people would like to use Chrome over Firefox for instance.

This is from the Blues Brothers movie from 1980.

AMD published a list with the mitigation on Sinkclose on all their processor ranges, and the ComboPI version that will have a patch:

Linux distro for selfhosting server in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] faethon@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Yes, I am running unattended-upgrades, and basically my current server is running 24/7 just fine! It is indeed like set and forget already. More reason to move to Debian!

It seems to be the most logical move to go from Ubuntu to Debian indeed. As I understand it maintains the core Linux system as I have it now (systemd / apt / stable kernel) while truly community driven. I have to look into transitioning into the latest stable Debian release.

Linux distro for selfhosting server (lemmy.world)
 

So I have been running a fair amount of selfhosted services over the last decade or so. I have always been running this on a Ubuntu LTS distribution running on a intel NUC machine. Most, if not all of my services run in a docker container, and using a docker compose file that brings everything up. The server is headless. I connect over ssh into a tmux config so I am always ready to go.

Ubuntu has been my stable server choice over the years. I've made the upgrade from 16, 18, 20 and 22 LTS release and everything has kept working. I even upgraded the hardware (old NUC to a new NUC) and just imaged the disk from the old one onto the new machine, and the server kept chugging along quite nicely, after I configured the hardware (specifically the Intel QuickSync for hardware transcoding in the Plex container).

Since Ubuntu has been transitioning from a really open community driven effort into a commercial enterprise, I feel it may be time to look at other distributions. On the other hand, it will require a fair amount of work to make the switch. But if it needs to be done, than so be it. I guess I am looking for opinions on what Linux distribution would fit my particular use case, and am wondering what most of us here are running.

TLDR; What stable, long term supported Linux distributions do you recommend for a headless server running a stack of docker containers?

I’m hyped for this seson to start! Very curious to see where all teams will be after the first couple of races. Many new car designs, Hamilton sitting out his last year at Mercedes, great stuff!

Podman - container exits without logs in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

interesting! So I should be able to throw my docker-compose yamls directly at Podman and be good to go?

just curious; why would you like to use podman over docker? I have a lot of docker containers running, wondering if I should switch to podman.

Solasta as a platform for solo DnD? (lemmy.world)

So this may be a silly question. Long time ago I played D&D with friends. We had a good DM, and had a great time as a party of friends roleplaying an interesting adventure. Fast forward to now, where life, family, work and all not easily allows to currently play with a great roleplaying group.

So, looking to fill in a bit of the fun, I was looking at doing some solo RPG with FoundryVTT and the Mythic Game Engine. However, focusing more on D&D 5E mechanics in combat I discovered the game Solasta: Crown of the Magister. It looks like it provides a great environment to do some 'quick' D&D combat sessions with some light roleplaying. Also, it allows people to create their own adventures and share them. So, on paper it should tick many of the boxes of solo D&D.

Has anyone played with Solasta? What did you like from a D&D perspective? And what not?

BTW, I'm also playing BG3 (100hrs currently into the game).
