  • Windows just fucked up my bootloader...

    Jump

  • It’s a gaming machine. I mainly use a gaming VM with GPU passthrough under Proxmox, but the anti-cheat is some games (Fortnite and The Finals) don’t allow you to run them in VMs. So I run those games in Windows directly under a standard user account as a compromise.

  • Windows just fucked up my bootloader...

    Jump

  • UEFI or legacy BIOS? I recently installed Windows 11 on a machine with Proxmox on NVME but installed Windows on a SATA SSD. Windows added its boot entry to the NVME SSD but did not get rid of the Proxmox boot entry.

    I’ve definitely had the same issue as you on in the past on legacy BIOS and when I worked in a computer shop 2014-2015 we always removed any extra drives before installing Windows to avoid this issue (not like the other drives had an OS anyway).

  • What is the data / content retention duration on lemmy.ml?

  • Many instances purged their images after the lemmyshitpost incident. Perhaps that’s what you’re seeing.

  • Is anyone else having trouble with DuckDNS today?

    Jump

  • Oh I completely misunderstood! I thought it was a forwarder, not dynamic DNS. My bad! Makes total sense!

  • Flathub now marks unverified apps

  • Wait… so the author displayed in “by

    <author>

    ” is the supposed author of the software, not the one that put it on the store? That’s insane! Also sounds like you’d be open to massive liability since the reputation of the software author will be damaged if somebody publishes malware under their name.

    It should be:

    • Developed by:

      <author of software>

    • Uploaded by:

      <entity who uploaded to store>

  • Is anyone else having trouble with DuckDNS today?

    Jump

  • Out of curiosity, why use a forwarder if you run your own DNS? Why not handle resolutions yourself?

  • Lego Fortnite gets driveable, customisable vehicles in Mechanical Mayhem update

    Jump

  • I haven’t played that much, but it’s essentially survival sandbox in a Lego world. The game has a village mechanic where you do tasks to level up your village and build housing/beds for people who show up similar to Terraria. The game feels like it’s focused around building Lego-style towns with a survival element. The game has prefabs you can buy and put together in the game, but you can also build them yourself without buying them (I think).

    The thing I’ve been impressed by is most emotes and characters from Battle Royal carry over into Lego counterparts.

    All this said, Minecraft remains king. Fortnite Lego feels very much locked down and I have fears over what happens if Epic lose interest in it. I would be very cautious to invest time in it like you would a Minecraft or Terraria world.

  • Benefits of running 2 Wi-Fi networks from the same router? What are the downsides? (I don't know if there is a better community for this question)

    Jump

  • The more SSIDs being broadcast the more airtime is wastes on broadcasting them. SSIDs are also broadcast at a much lower speed so even though it’s a trivial amount of data, it takes longer to send. You ideally want as few SSIDs a possible but sometimes it’s unavoidable, like if you have an open guest network, or multiple authentication types used for different SSIDs.

    Jump

  • The APs know who the Wi-Fi clients are and just drops traffic between them. This is called client/station isolation. It’s often used in corporate to 1) prevent wireless clients from attacking each other (students, guests) and 2) to prevent broadcast and multicast packets from wasting all your airtime. This has the downside of breaking AirPlay, AirPrint and any other services where devices are expected to talk to each other.

  • vSphere+Debian+KDE Plasma=Crash?

  • Seconding the RAM issue possibility. If you can, shut down the host and run a memory test over a few days to see if it trips. Memory tests can take days to trip in some circumstances, in others, it’s immediate.

  • Editorial: Sydney’s gay community is rightly hurt and angry. Police should not march in this year’s Mardi Gras

    Jump

  • I’m definitely lacking some history here (read through the article of course) but my instinct is that it would be best to allow them to continue marching provided those marching have not themselves committed these acts. Perhaps it needs a reframing: the NSW Police segment of the march should not be about bringing positive publicity to the force as a whole, but to celebrate those in the force who are part of the community and make them feel welcome.

  • How many PostgreSQL services?

    Jump

  • Seperate DB container for each service. Three main reasons: 1) if one service requires special configuration that affects the whole DB container, it won’t cross over to the other service which uses that DB container and potentially cause issues, 2) you can keep the version of one of the DB containers back if there is an incompatibility with a newer version of the DB and one of the services that rely on it, 3) you can rollback the dataset for the DB container in the event of a screwup or bad service (e.g. Lemmy) update without affecting other services. In general, I’d recommend only sharing a DB container if you have special DB tuning in place or if the services which use that DB container are interdependent.

  • Why does hosting Lemmy require a display?

    Jump

  • Ah my bad. Memmy didn’t display the code block in your OP or this post. I see it on the web version.

    That error might be less about needing X11 and more about wanting D-Bus. Since D-Bus isn’t running, it’s trying to start it by itself using X11, which also doesn’t work.

    Does the error actually make Lemmy quit out?

    FWIW I have a sanitised copy of my Lemmy k8s config on Gitlab that might help: https://gitlab.com/conorab/k8s-lemmy
