fonetic diners are the best

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 πŸ˜€

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

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?

baca is a terminal based epub reader. Quite nice.

I think you would also need an initial run process such as systemd or the sysV runlevels.

So what is the general consensus on package management these days on Debian based distributions? I may be old school by relying only on APT (DEB) for my Linux machines, and never really got into Snap, Flatpak, and what not. Is APT still most used? Or is there a significant movement towards Snap or something else. What I hated when I looked at Snap the last time is that distributions come with different concurrent architectures on package management, which from a point of view of organizing you system just doesn't make sense. A difference between package management (APT/Flat/Snap) on the one hand and service management (Docker, k8, ...) on the other hand I understand.

What the article does not mention, if the immigrant work force if working against lower wages, compared to native work force. Cheap labor obviously will be a strong rising force.

So, is the writing staff getting replaced by ChatGPT or any other LLM?

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).

Are we sure it is the same thing? Alien-in-the-middle attack succeeded... 😁

What a massive achievement!

There is also a very clear upwards trend I would say 😁

For those wanting to get some geographical context of the Baldur's Gate and the Forgotten Realms, this links to an interactive map with many of the well known places, including Baldur's Gate itself.

This is not directly related to the game, but it is within the same universe and realm as BG3 takes place.

Hosting an email server is pretty sure a magnet for half the Chinese IP range.... So I would refrain from hosting that myself.

Unmonitored, it will slowly evolve into V'ger now!

Started out with lastpass many years ago, until it was bought by logmein. Have been using Bitwarden since.
