I have not tried Matrix yet but I hear it's a good replacement, fashioned more to the likes of Discord but I think it has everything you're looking for

The fight was fought, and systemd won. If you're looking to learn theory then by all means look into the alternatives, but if you're wanting to use what's in most systems then go with systemd.

Apply and see. Worst case is you learn something.

My interviews for linux-related roles were basically, "how do you change directories? What does ls do? How do you edit a file?" (Last one was trickily open-ended to also see what my preferred editor is). I'm not even sure they asked where log files are typically stored.

As for what to put on a resume, just say that you run a home lab or something.

I've enjoyed TES: Blades and Fallout Shelter, though I think they both got too micro transactional.

RetroArch even with onscreen keys is surprisingly good, if that's your thing.

Osmos and Super Hexagon are oldies but goodies, and not pay to play.

+1 for proton, though I think modern VM tech very little overhead these days.

Not directly answering your question but legally I think you're better off claiming to impersonate a famous person than to have the AI claim to be them.

Occasionally some manufacturers use some weird proprietary connection but usually both DVD drives and 3.5" disks use the same SATA connectors. Heck, even in the old IDE/PATA days you could use the same connection on either.

So yeah, the connection is the same and probably will plug and play without any configuration needed

I've heard that immich and other picture-organizing software can will something like this?

I got a stack of PCS that are very similar if not identical. Third gen i7, 8 gigs of ram, one terabyte hdd, all but one are the same HP model with the same motherboard, etc too. I upgraded the RAM in a few of them, and I have enough spare TB hard drives to put an extra in each. Two have Nvidia GeForce 210 gpus, and the unique one out of the bunch I'll probably throw in a spare RX 570 I have.

But, what to do with them? Easiest answer is probably sell them all for $75 each but that's not what we do here, right? Right now I'm assuming they all support w o l and I can easily set up ansible/awx for orchestration. I'm just looking for some fun experiments, projects, or actual uses for this Tower of PC towers

 

To begin I'll say this is something I've noticed with Firefox, but because it's Snap-centered I think this is the place to post. I have two primary machines which recently had Firefox "wiped clean" like they were brand new installs. They also had notifications suggesting the version of Firefox was not the official way to use FF in the given operating system (Kubuntu 24.04 on both machines). It suggested using the official Debian repo instead, which I figured why not and re-installed from there (after uninstalling the Snap first).

I guess I'm asking if anyone else is experiencing this? Am I right in pointing blame at Snap or is this possibly an elsewhere issue?
