I have tons of great suggestions depending on your hardware and what kinds of things you’d like to be hosting.

However, for starters, if you’re not doing so already, make sure you are binding your qBittorrent container to a privacy VPN network interface. Test it to ensure it’s working. There are sites out there that you can use to check how your torrent IP presents. No matter what you’re torrenting, keep your IP hidden. The last thing you want is your ISP to terminate your fancy new service.

NixOS is the new “I use arch btw.”

It’s mostly useful for stability in appliances and reproducibility in large scale deployments.

IMO, I don’t think immutability makes sense for desktop use. The whole point of a desktop is to make it personalized.

Kind of. Matrix is the most supported, and works very well. However, it doesn’t have feature parity with Discord. Voice/video chat can be added via integrations, but it takes quite a few modifications to the server’s infrastructure.

It’s also a bit more complicated to navigate,

Revolt is being created as a proper FOSS Discord replacement (similar UI even), but it’s pretty early in development. It also lacks federation, which is a huge caveat imo.

Just in time to ride the hype wave. Maybe they’ll release a MOBA next.

I don’t use the Xbox app, but more client support is always good!

Also Nintendo.

Bots are fine on any platform as long as they are clearly labeled and easy to filter out if you prefer.

11/10 name.

Neat! That game is fantastic, but I wonder why they’re randomly adding new content after so many years.

Perhaps they are drumming up hype for a sequel in the works?

KDE Connect is great, but the simplest solution would be to just pair your phone and laptop via Bluetooth. Your phone will just treat your PC as a Bluetooth headset.

Not 100% sure with Ubuntu, but I do this on EndeavourOS and it just worked without any tinkering.

popular porn categories do not depend on population size

It might, though. Population density affects all sorts of trends. It’s the kind of thing you could miss if you’re not comparing to population maps.

My gut reaction was population heat map syndrome, and while that might explain Stockholm, it doesn’t explain the band in the north.

Yay! I literally picked Satisfactory back up because your posts kept reminding me how much I liked it.

Congrats on your new flooring!

152 days, not bad. I’ll miss your daily screenshots!

Again, I agree with the premise. I just think their methodology is a bit weird.

GN is definitely not without merit. Their technical reporting and attention to detail is incredible (unparalleled in some aspects), and they (as far as I can tell) practice what they preach. There was a period of time where I watched most of their YT videos. I’m even using one of their awesome coasters right now.

Editorially, however, they are very focused on negativity, to the point of appearing to delight in it. It’s the reason I stopped watching/reading their content entirely. It’s a bit hard to explain, but it feels like they go out of their way to look for the most negative spin possible.

GN’s flavor of negativity is more shaming and mockery than constructive criticism. They even make/made (not sure if they still do) an annual video and T-shirt called something like the “hall of shame” with a list of their worst reviewed products of that year. I never saw a “hall of fame”.

When they do have something positive to say, it’s usually just a calm, measured explanation supported by data. When they have something negative to say, they do extra tests, interviews, elaborate dramatic skits, and multi-part series’.

I stopped watching around the time they published an entire exposé on LTT that stirred up so much drama it basically forced a restructure of LTT’s entire company. Was GN right? Yeah, but rather than approach them with concerns, they did it in a big showy public stunt. It seemed like they cared more about having the “big story” than wanting things to improve.

I get that exposing bad things in the industry is important, and their work has resulted in positive change. I just find it exhausting to watch/read when it’s such a large percentage of their content. GN is full of some very smart and talented individuals, but they give the vibe of that type of redditor who doesn’t realize that the “You technically correct, the best kind of correct” quote was intended to be satire.

I agree with the premise that NVIDIA is ripping people off more and more every generation, but this is such a weird metric to use.

Knowing Gamer’s Nexus’ fixation on negativity, they probably started with the goal of finding a metric where the line has gone down for every skew and worked backwards from there.
