I use dex
and picom
now. Every few months I learn something new about running i3wm with no DE.

I haven’t tried it yet but I would rather dual boot for games with anti-cheat that don’t work with Wine or a VM.
It really is bad compared to KVM. Though for my usecase of pandoc+vim, running Debian with VMware does the job. Browsing the web, watching videos, and listening to music are okay too. It’s very bad for GPU accelerated stuff though which is what the Windows host is for.
I want to dual boot again but I’m still working on this project on one of my SSDs so I don’t want to touch anything yet.
Been using Debian stable again this year, but this time in a VM (Windows host. I know, I know.)
I’m very happy with it. I tried other distros but kept coming back to Debian.

I’ve been using GIMP for so long and I don’t know how to use Photoshop so all the “weird” things about GIMP is normal for me.
Also feel like if I learn Photoshop, I’ll never touch GIMP again. D:
I really like SVT. AOM (or whatever the default was for ffmpeg) was terribly slow. Now I have to try out rav1e.
Unplug the computer? Got it.
Porkbun asks for your ID now so that might not be “privacy-respecting” but their CS is very helpful from my experience.
I have domains in Netim and Spaceship, and I have no problems with either so far.
This was it. Thanks!
There used to be a subreddit called r/unexpecteddebian or something. I think it’s gone now.
pict-rs has the option to compress images. Ours is set to WEBP with 1280 pixels either side max.
StarCraft II. It’s on Battle.Net though so you’ll have to download it through Lutris.
The first campaign is free and there’s a coop mode for casual players. Entirely free except for cosmetics, some coop commanders, and the other campaign episodes. It’s easy to pick up IMO but VERY HARD to master. Graphics still hold up better than a lot of games despite being 13 years old. Despite its age, I believe it’s the peak of the RTS genre. There’s are a lot of community-made mods/maps that you can play for free. You can even play a remake of the WarCraft III campaign there.
Other RTS games that I like:
Not really an RTS game but I’ve been putting so many hours into RimWorld (Steam, native) this year. At its core, it’s a colony-building game but it does have some RTS elements to it (economy, combat, and unit management). Lots of mods available.
I just checked and while I do have the option and set it to true
, I couldn’t load the JXL images on this page.
I don’t remember which update it was but newer versions of Lemmy use significantly less database storage.
I recommend checking out lowendtalk.com if you’re shopping for VPS hosting providers.
Personally, I recommend AmogOS.
One of the GitHub issues says it’s closed source now.
I also really like the tunnels feature. It makes self hosting at home easy for those under NAT/CGNAT or whatever it was called.
