I didn't know anything about docker when I set up my NC years ago, so I ran it as a snap on bare metal. Man, it's gotten so much better! It used to really suck. Like, simple file transfers just didn't work half the time, so I'd be retrying the same thing over and over... A few years ago, I literally migrated it from bare metal to a VM, but kept the exact same install. I have so much crap on it now, I think I'll never bother switching it out to docker, just because of the inconvenience. I know the snap version can just run using a local hostname, you just have to set it in trusted domains setting. Might be the same in the docker image?

It works, I never posted back. Thanks!

I use Gpoddersync to keep my phone and tablet in sync, but I have one podcast that keeps glitching out and redownloading over and over. Not sure why.

Thanks! I'll give it a try tonight!

I've been fighting with it since 5.5. I was able to play in Fedora 42 using Proton Experimental this morning, but it's been super hit and miss for me.

That article had 891 "partners". Holy hell.

I would ask Randall Munroe!

I own a Mode 7 Retro ii flip phone. Modern Android, tiny screen on the top, number pad on the bottom which I never use, and the dang thing fits nicely in my pocket and the screen never gets scratched. Faux leather on the outside. One of my profs literally calls me "Flip phone." I do carry a tablet a lot of the time, so my phone is mostly for calls and podcasts. I doom scroll on the tablet.

Yup. A few games are like that for me. I set Steam to use compatibility with all games, and the only ones that don't work at all are the anti-cheat ones. Even the new Monster Hunter works great for me. I have a mix of Nvidia and AMD GPUs, so it's not just smug Linux AMD talking, either.

I find that a number of my games don't say they're Linux compatible, but work just fine. But that's not what everyone says.

I agree, and I take it this far: "I worked hard and paid for my house, why should some lazy loafer get housing for free? I paid 24,000$ in tuition, why should kids get free college?" I think that, at some point, one guy has to be the first guy to benefit from progress, and all the people who didn't benefit just have to suck it up. I would 100% pay a much higher tax rate if it meant that homelessness was gone, hunger was gone, kids got free education... I'm Canadian, so I don't need to say this about health care. Yeah, I paid an awful lot of mortgage, but if someone else gets a free house? Good!

These are freaking delicious, too. I like the Honey Dijon, the spicy dill, the S&V, and the wasabi. These are my "don't care how much they cost, get those!" I had to go gluten free for a bit to see if that was causing some issues, and hard bites are the only thing that stuck.
