Exactly! Pirate Software talked about this a while back. Steam doesn't want you cutting them out, and then them still being responsible for the bandwidth to download and host your game.

Its this one. And the reason is that if steam sells a game at $10 and humble sells you a steam key at $5, steam gets no profit and is 100% responsible for the bandwidth when you donlload it, for hosting the page, for the market, etc etc. Basically steam doesn't want to assume all the work with none of the reward. Which I don't really see an iissue with.

Yeah, I guarantee you google isn't interested in showing you one or the other. They want the revenue from both. My only question is, if you pause an ad, can you get another ad in your ad?

I was unaware. How cool though.

Unlikely, the warframe community for Linux is pretty large. I even remember the Nobara discord had a channel just for warftame. I've been playing warframe for over a year on Linux with no issue. The ban is likely unrelated to proton.

Pornhub is an example of exactly this. They've blocked whole stares like Arkansas and Utah over these kinds of laws. I highly doubt pornhub has a physical presence in Arkansas of all places.

When I first moved to linux I felt this same way. It gets better. Now days I fucking love those 15 page ReadMes and I'm not bothered if there's no steps for my distro. The sheer volume of documentation surrounding linux packages is insane. There's often a ton of ways to configure and manage the to fit your needs. That freedom is what I love so much about linux.

As for the ones with 2 lines, I don't think I've seen that as much. I generally would avoid them unless the source was clear what the project did.

At any rate there will come a day when it starts to click. It's just a marathon not a sprint.

I switched in November. I have no regrets. I rarely run into issues, and having the control to make decisions over my own computer is superb.

Well for me I have: RAM - 32gb ddr5 corsair vengeance MOBO - gigabyte b650 aorus elite CPU - AMD Ryzen 9 7900 GPU - sapphire Raedon rx 7900 xtx CASE - corsair airflow 4700d PSU - gol 850w can't remember the model atm COOLER - Ek nucleus aio 240

That should leave you well within budget depending on storage. I have 2 Samsung 2tb m.2s. But you may not need that much. I run popos on it and have had no issues with it at all.

I bought everything listed during black Friday minus the case and psu because I pulled those out of my old rig. Total cost for everything but the case and psu, but including storage was about 1,900 after tax.

Edit: I see you mentioned not being great with hardware. You should check out pc part picker. It's good for compatability. For the most part. It will NOT account for actual dimensions as they relate to the case, fans, RAM. Etc. You should absolutely read up on your preferred case dimensions, length of your graphics card, and fan size (especially in the case of using an aio liquid cooler). That said if you have room for it I do love the corsair airflow case. Plenty of room, good thermals, easy clean. Only complaint is that the psu slot felt small and it is a pain to get in and out. I guess Ideally you aren't taking your psu out often so it won't matter.

Naa cast-iron pan user. Throw that shit in a fire, melt away the bad and star it over.

Also kidding, but maybe.

It's probably that lemmy is a much smaller community coupled with lemmy users likely being more tech literate, in general, than redditors. Not that people on lemmy don't have questions but that they're more self reliant. At least in my own case I often will spend hours digging for answers before I'd post asking.

"I promise" followed by anything. That thing will 100% not happen.

 

I've recently switched my primary PC to Linux (Specifically POP_OS). Overall the experience has been incredible. Far less difficult than I feared.

One area that has been a constant annoyance is sound device management. The abilities to independently set volumes by program, and switch between sound devices easily (as opposed to going into settings every time) have eluded me. Perhaps I'm just missing something, but my assumption is that there's a packaged solution for this. I've looked around and seen a few recommendations for pavucontrol, but wanted to check here and see what other people use and why. I'm open to suggestions.

 

So I finally finished gathering the hardware for my first real homelab. I currently have a pi that I run nginx, searxng, and pihole, but I'm looking to move to something more hefty. I'll probably leave pihole and nginx on the pi. I'm wanting to set up plex to host things for home use as well as a way to store photos, Documents, etc locally. Ideally my friends and I play games like valheim and icarus and I would like to be able to use a vm or container to host game servers when needed.

My hardware currently consists of an amd 4650g pro, 16gig ddr4, amd a520 mobo and 2 1tb m2s.

My question is I'm considering setting up proxmox for this but I wanted to see advice before I go to far. Is there a more preferred option? I'm not too hung up on cost but ideally I don't want anything to run through like a host page off my network or something. And I would like something that will allow me to expand storage since 2tb isn't really a lot

 

Hey all,

I'm relatively new to self hosting. I set up a SearxNG on my local network and then recently set up Pi-Hole. Searx is running in a docker container and Pi-Hole is not. However, after setting up Pi-hole the IP I use to connect to Searx now directs to the default the default placeholder page. So my Pi-hole runs on 192.168.0.19/admin and Searx used to run just on 192.168.0.19. I'm guessing there's a config somewhere that I can change to make both work at once I'm just not sure where. Google was less than helpful (or maybe I'm an idiot lol) so I was hoping someone here may have run into a similar issue.

I've recently learned that DDG does not follow its own guidelines for privacy. I'm curious what search engines people here would recommend. I would prefer a search engine that not only respects my privacy but also doesn't hide or shadow ban content it doesn't like. Any recommendations?
