Yeah I honestly agree. Memories is a vast improvement, so much so that it should just be the default at this point. I went so far as to get a menu customizer addon to just remove Nextcloud Photos as an option. I feel like it puts off new users more then helps anything.

I’m glad there’s other options like the OP link, but I seriously enjoy Memories / Nextcloud for hosting it on my own hardware. Very little maintenance, has an app. Uploads from my phone whenever I plug it in to charge. Basically more than enough feature parity with Google photos that I could finally dump that mess. :)

Hang on there. Yes, NextCloud photos is kinda a dump, not gonna lie. Do not like.

But Nextcloud Memories is a labor of love, and it’s been freaking AWESOME. A little bit of Docker knowhow and the NextCloud AiO image is a great combo.

I know KDE’s Dolphin has this built in, but I’m so afraid to use it because I imagine it’ll take ages, and it wouldn’t be recognized by anything else. 😬

All those “active listening” skills to trick people into thinking you’re paying attention or care. Lol

Thanks, I was about to suggest this too. Aegis is awesome. :) I can’t understand why most banks sms a code instead of using something like this. It’s insanity.

I miss that feeling a little bit. My undiagnosed-ADHD highschool self with like 18 characters hovering around level 20, never maxing one out because the ~30-40 slog was real, just chatting up strangers for fun while hopping around various towns’ mailboxes and occasionally actually doing game content. (Remember when Barrens chat was a meme for basically being like the /b/ of WoW? LOL)

… And it didn’t feel like impending doom or that I was somehow wasting my life away. It’s just what I did after school and that was alright.

It’s how I met my wife though, so it all worked out. :)

I could go on for days but WoW’s peak was a neat way to build social skills while being behind an avatar kept you from being too vulnerable.

I feel like online gaming now has gotten so anti-social and that the mere fear of potential toxicity just has everyone locked up and suspicious; Afraid to talk to anyone they don’t already know. Thanks to, what, basically Discord? Game chats are completely dead.

I remember trying Guild Wars 2 and thinking every other player might as well just be a bot because nobody interacted. :(

Ragnarok was so weirdly awesome. I loved how unique it was and somehow the jank was charming. The sprites and job tree were fantastic too, and I could listen to that music all day. :D

I’ve mostly heard it from musicians on various distro forums and such for some reason. You’re right, there’s JACK, and low latency versions of kernels and all sorts of other stuff. (LMMS is more than fine for my experience level lol)

Mainly I think it’s because a lot of the fancy paid DAWs or plugins boil down to Windows, but I’m not an experienced musician myself to really know what their exact complaints are.

I think it still might just be FUD generated by frustrated people, because sometimes you gotta do a little more than “unzip and run” for a lot of plugins.

Elsewhere in the thread people say he’s an “audio guy”, so that’s actually kinda neat if he’s going to Linux.

We’ve made progress on the Linux gaming front, now we need to dispell “Y’but you can’t use Linux if you’re into sound.” :)

Okay, a suspicious thanks to you, Microsoft…

…So when can we get this treatment for WMR so all our VR headsets don’t become useless bricks kthaaaanks!

Wouldn’t mind those sweet tunes coming back though.

We’ve come full circle to downloading and running things with titles like:

“BMWaReZ_UnSUSSer+HeetSeeter-v4.20.69.appimage”

Considering what M$ has done to Minecraft, that’s immensely AWESOME to know! I really need to put some time into Minetest / mineclonia…

That’s sweet to hear somebody talking about a long-forgotten game like Gnomoria so fondly. I hope somehow that reaches a dev. :D

I have this one sitting in my library too, and it did make me sad that it’s forever unfinished. Didn’t know about that nasty Linux bug! Wish at that point, they would just open source it lol.

In the meantime I’ve really been enjoying Rimworld as a DF-like experience. :)

Way to go! What material did you use? I ask because, where I am, many common printable materials would deform and melt in a car. As much as I’ve wanted to make things like this.

In summer you might just find a PLA part in a puddle on the floorboards. XD hahaha (Hyperbole, but you get me.)

OpenSUSEs snapshots and the way they’re configured out of the box is an absolute godsend and gangbanger for newcomers.

I have a general idea of how to set this sort of thing up in almost any distro now, but this is absolutely one of the ideas that swept me off my feet with OpenSUSE. I like a lot of distros but keep coming back to that wild little tumbleweed chameleon/geeko. :D

Like FOSS philosophy:

Both can exist, and both are great, and that’s okay. :)

Haha I dunno I thought it was a pretty good primer for people seeking it out, and people in this community are super helpful and mentor-like in my experience.

I wouldn’t even call myself a beginner anymore, but I read the whole thing. :)

Exactly. Both Manjaro and Ubuntu have had a certain history of “silly misguided shenanigans” that sorta damage trust. You just never know when the next stunt might be pulled.

I personally didn’t have too many problems with Manjaro on my gaming laptop, but have since moved to EndeavourOS, which I’m enjoying very much. :D
