Next time I build a PC, I plan to spend extra on hardware that can run games decently while producing as little heat as possible. My current PC is like a space heater when it’s running and it’s unbearable to play games on it for any extended periods during the summer months.

The only reason I went for an 80+ Platinum PSU instead of an 80+ Bronze PSU is to make it generate less heat (and the fact that the platinum had a really nice price at the time). Doing it for power savings isn't worth it, but getting a cooler case is nice.

sending personal data to someone else’s computer.

I think this is spot on. I think it's exciting with LLMs but I'm not gonna give the huge corporations my data, nor anyone else for that matter.

An ultra-marathoner’s attempt to “run” from Florida to Bermuda in an inflatable bubble was cut short when the Coast Guard towed him back to land – for the second time.

I'm looking into setting up some monitoring combined with simple automation for my selfhosting. Currently I was thinking about using Zabbix.
I want to:
Track bandwidth usage on a router/fw and on a managed switch and track cpu/ram/disk usage on my vms.
Simple monitoring (up/down/maintenance) on the router, switch, my vms as well as on linux services (jellyfin/forgejo/etc) and windows services (lab for studying work-related tools).
I'm also interested in doing simple https checks on my webuis (i've had a service running but the website returning both 403 and 404 before) and testing nslookup on my internal dns (if the service is up but the lookups timeout I still want to try restarting the service).

Is there any FOSS/FLOSS alternatives that I should look into before diving into Zabbix?

I definitely feel the pain when it comes to worthless results nowadays. Though in this case DDG comes through:

Adding documentation to the search makes the "correct" page soar to the top:

Microsoft being uninterested in Windows Desktop and focusing on Saas and the cloud is indeed the first bullet point.

  1. Microsoft isn't that interested in Windows
  2. Linux gaming, thanks to Steam, is also growing
  3. Users are finally figuring out that some Linux distros are easy to use
  4. Finding and installing Linux desktop software is easier than ever
  5. The Linux desktop is growing in popularity in India

  • KVM/QEMU/Libvirt/virt-manager on a Debian 12 for minimal installation that allows you to choose backup tools and the like on your own.
  • Proxmox for a mature KVM-based virtualizer with built in tools for backups, clustering, etcetera. Also supports LXC. https://github.com/proxmox
  • Incus for LXC/KVM virtualization - younger solution than Proxmox and more focused on LXC. https://github.com/lxc/incus

So, being frustrated with a firefox addons copy not showing up with shift+ins in gnome-terminal I decided to switch gnome-terminal paste shortcut to shift+ins.
Are there any known bugs with doing this? I've only done some quick tests and seem to always get the clipboard info I'm expecting.

edit: Thanks to @[email protected] I now know about gpaste and use that to sync primary and selection both ways.

I'm looking into different self hosted open source multiuser password safes and while there are many options I haven't found one with a .deb or .rpm install - only a whole bunch of docker compose.

Do you know of any good options that are included in debian 12 or fedora 39 repositories or at least that has a .deb or .rpm?

Currently I'm using keepassxc but been asked for something that either has a webui login for end users or an android app.

edit 2024-02-17:
After looking into the .deb and .rpm options available (passbolt or unofficial vaultwarden-deb) I decided to bite the bullet and install a debian 12 vm that I will try out different docker solutions on.

Lazy Tomato Farm (imgur.com)

A pattern for those like me that prefer not having to water and weed their farm every morning.
Turning 2x star tomatoes (sell value 2x34) into 2x star tomato seed packages (sell value 2x60) seems to be a great way to generate wealth offline. Just make sure the seed makers are filled up when you log off.

Med sommaren kommer mer tid att ägna sig åt hobbies och intressen. De flesta har något stort projekt som de "spar till semestern".
Mycket av mina planer har att göra med hus, eftersom jag nyligen köpt mig ett. Jag har många meter nätverkskabel jag vill dra för att få bättre prestanda mellan min hemmaserver, tv och datorrum för att nämna ett exempel.

Vad har du för sommarprojekt? Är det bilmek? Spela in egenkomponerad musik? Cykla från Malmö till Kiruna? Brygga en suröl?

Efter veckor av torka ska vi äntligen få regn till helgen. Eller inte.
Vi har odling av potatis, morötter och lök som försöker överleva i vår köksträdgård.
Vi har gett dem lite vatten om kvällarna men är samtidigt måna om att inte slösa på vattnet i brunnen.
Gräsmattan är en savann.

Hur hanterar ni trädgårdslivet en sommar som denna?
