To your first edit, having been a user since 2010, I’ve tried it both ways and sometimes just giving in to a new distribution is easier than spending a week or more combing forums and getting ghosted while your display resolution is broken.

When it comes down to it, unless you’re using Linux as a hobby, I say distro hop away until something clicks in your first few months. When you finally get your hooks into one you feel you understand, that’s when you start putting the effort into perfecting it.

At work, since I’m the sole IT, I’ve been putting everything into MkDocs and it’s been working out great for the team. Only complaint is that I can’t seem to figure out how to update anything without just relaunching the Docker container every time. They mention that you can live reload, but not how.

I’m running OMV with the Docker Compose plugin and I just SSH in for everything else. I run this stack both at home and work. It’s a good middle ground for me of stability and customizability.

Running OpenRCT2 on a Raspberry Pi is probably one of my favorite pastimes. It’s such an incredibly well-crafted game that it will run on nearly anything.

Hindsight is 20:20, but for anyone else reading this, my method for server transfers like this is to have a physical offline backup from the start of the transfer process. (obviously would need more disks if you have a big array, but at this scale you should have enough experience to handle this)

Once I have the physical backup, I set it aside, unplugged, until the entire process is done and I confirm it all went well. Then I feel safe enough to use that drive angain after the first week or so goes smoothly.

You could say any arrangement of words or letters about the inner workings of Windows, and I’d probably just take your word for it at this point.

We just need another billion parameters bro. Surely if we just gave the LLMs another billion parameters it would solve the problem…

Well there’s your problem. But really, it’s because long-time distro hoppers will finally find the one that meets all their needs and assume it meets everyone else’s needs as well.

About the only thing other than Mint that I recommend to beginners is Endeavor or Bazzite if they need gaming. And even then, is lean toward Endeavor first just because it’s less modified and they’ll get more consistent results during troubleshooting.

But yeah, new users really don’t need anything other than the bare minimum otherwise they’re likely to get turned off pretty quickly by documentation not lining up to their distros edits.

11 running on my little N150 box. Barely ever breaks a sweat.

To add to this, if you want to design your site using FOSS and locally on your own machine, I’ve had great success with Publii, but any static site generator will do.

This looks incredible! I’m your first Star!

It’s the IPv6 of joinlemmy.com

Hey folks! Check me out over on 2600:1f18:4ae:c605:dd5d:b838:5816:d7fb

Depending on who you’re with, you can try calling their support and explaining what you’re looking for. I always tell them “I need to disable routing and have my gateway act like a modem. It should give a public IP directly to my router.” This should explain in layman’s to any technician what you’re looking for and they’ll be able to tell you if it can be done. If you’re with a cable or DSL provider, also ask about options to provide your own equipment. This can save you money in the long run, too, if you’re renting the hardware through them at the moment.

I don’t remember how long ago it was, but there was an interview where he said exactly this. AI is not a bad tool. It’s just that lots of people use it as the apply-to-everything hammer.

Maybe I’m misinterpreting, but if your gateway from your ISP is also routing and handing out IPs, this is known as a double NAT and can cause all sorts of weird issues. If you’re going from your ISPs gateway to your own router, their device should be bridged so it acts like a static modem.

For those that want the actual answer:

Honestly, this could be referring to most open-source projects. I’d imagine many of the popular ones were originally made to solve a problem for themselves and then everyone jumps onboard with that solution.

Linux itself also kinda fits here considering it was meant to just sort of be a small project in the beginning and I doubt Linus ever could have predicted what it became.

Probably the Hello World I wrote for the Pocket Sprite along with the programming tutorial for it. To my awareness, I was the only person who made a tutorial for it and it got decent amounts of use on the Discord. It’s too bad you can’t get them anymore.
