DIY Alternate Start

    Why? There's a bunch of different possibilities that can happen directly related to NG+. The game feels like it's meant to be played endlessly with it.

  • How's the combat compared to DOS2?
  • Jamoke Jamoke 1y ago 100%

    I'm doing my first playthrough on Explorer mode and I'm pretty OP. I am terrible at these games. Compared to DOS:2 the game is a breeze, truly. I could probably bump the difficulty up to Balanced mode and still be fine.

    In other words, the combat is much more accessible than DOS:2 in my opinion.

    Check out Kavita! It sounds perfect for what you're doing and I have had literally 0 issues using all of their built-in features. It's a surprisingly stable and full-fledged open-source product.

  • What are YOU self-hosting?
  • Jamoke Jamoke 1y ago 100%

    I would go back if it was easy. The speed difference from just getting a listing of contents in a large directory over SMB is insane. It used to be instant and it takes like 10-15 seconds now. I'm not even using their app setup anymore, I gave up on it after a while because of a bunch of random issues with updates over time and switched to a dedicated box with Portainer installed. I really wish I could go back to core.

    I'm sure they'll iron everything out but BSD is still king at the moment.

  • At the moment, I'm reading [The Fireman by Joe Hill](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/02aa4837-8491-44d8-abf3-f62b51aedb92). He doesn't consider it horror and honestly, at the stage I'm at in the book, I would have to agree with that assessment, *but*, it is widely accepted as such. In the past week I've read: - [Haunted Hotel by Lee Mountford](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/1aff1241-36d6-4648-b66e-174a8fb3d2e7) - [Horror in the Woods by Lee Mountford](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/ab749d02-97ad-42ca-b790-6aef7da8037f) - [Voices in the Snow by Darcy Coates](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/eb33caa8-13e4-43b4-9ebb-00456f99a531) - [The Children of Red Peak by Craig DiLouie](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/259c5c3d-d80b-4687-a7ff-335f942bfbee) - [The House of Dust by Noah Broyles](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/f49584ca-59d2-4943-a60c-38e5155c0487) I absolutely *love* Lee Mountford's writing; it's jam-packed with action and there's no beating around the bush. His books are typically quite short and to the point. I have to say, though, The Fireman is really good so far. It's at a point where things are kind of slow so I hope it picks up a bit. Anyway, enough about me. What are *you* reading or have recently read?

    Spotify Alternative for streaming server
  • Jamoke Jamoke 1y ago 100%

    My player (Roon) does not support ListenBrainz scrobbling and it's always really bothered me. I just set multi-scrobbler up and I'm so happy. Thanks for linking it!

    OP, if you don't mind paying and self-hosting I highly recommend Roon / Roon ARC.

  • With the decline of twitter and reddit, it's time to take a look at RSS again if you haven't already.
  • Jamoke Jamoke 1y ago 100%

    What I meant was assigning multiple tags (like "tech", "security", "foss", etc) automatically to posts in a feed instead of needing to manually assign them to each article. So if I then want to filter all posts with "security" and "foss" I could choose those two tags to get the filtered results. Can it do that?

  • I've really liked using onenote, but would like a FOSS alternative if there is one that replicates the experience. I don't need any syncing abilities, since I prefer to store locally.
  • Jamoke Jamoke 1y ago 100%

    I really like Trilium. It's basically a FOSS Obsidian. It does not have a phone app but the web interface is mobile-friendly.

  • Jamoke Jamoke 1y ago 100%

    This post got me to try out selfoss but after it being pretty buggy and unable to fetch 50% of the feeds I was interested in, I looked elsewhere. I wanted to install Tiny Tiny RSS but the instructions weren't my thing. Finally, I settled on FreshRSS and I love it. All the feeds work. The only complaint I have is that, at least it seems, you need to manually add labels to each article and instead just put a feed under a category. I wish I could put feeds under any amount of labels or categories I want. Maybe there's an extension for it that I have not seen yet.

    That looks awesome. I hope I can get there some day. I'd probably want to go in autumn but it looks gorgeous year-round.

    Yeah, it wasn't always. I got it when it was cheaper.

  • Stop Doing Discord
  • Jamoke Jamoke 1y ago 100%

    So if I'm on a self-hosted matrix server I could join rooms in any number of other matrix servers (just like joining communities across Lemmy instances)? That's a game-changer if that's the case. I have no idea how to do that within Element.

  • Stop Doing Discord
  • Jamoke Jamoke 1y ago 100%

    Serious question, can you join multiple homeservers yet? Having an account tied to one server is a massive drawback compared to Discord. I tried Cilly earlier and currently use Element with my friends but I don't think that feature exists.

    Yeah, I saw that. Equalizers are nice for some people but I literally never use them.

  • Jamoke Jamoke 1y ago 100%

    I use Roon ARC to self-host my library. It is paid, but, I bought the lifetime subscription because there is really no other music app that has the features Roon has.

    Other than that, I have HiBy R3 Pro that is useless for Bluetooth, and when I'm hiking I want Bluetooth.

  • Should I host my own instance if I don't intend to run a community?

    Gotcha, thanks. I'm at about 70 so that makes sense then.

    The pictures folder on my instance is at 1.3GB after two days. It's just me and my friend. About how many communities are you subscribed to?

    “Clearly predatory”: Western Digital sparks panic, anger for age-shaming HDDs
  • Jamoke Jamoke 1y ago 100%

    In the grand scheme of things this isn't a big deal. If you're not using some kind of RAID parity system I guess I wouldn't mind the notification. I think it is probably overkill, though. Just seems like they want everyone that's had a hard drive for three years to buy a new one. The fact that some drives that are still under warranty show the warning is sketchy.

  • What are YOU self-hosting?
  • Jamoke Jamoke 1y ago 100%

    Happy to help! Trilium is really awesome, just the web based view/syncing with it's desktop app is a killer feature. If I lose internet for a second and I'm using the app it syncs the next time I'm connected and open it. A lot of the more "hidden" stuff and things you need to install plugins for in Obsidian come by default in Trilium as well.

    • Lemmy Instance
    • VaultWarden - Password manager
    • Jellyfin - Movies/TV Shows
    • Roon / Roon ARC - Music
    • OneDev - Used to use Gitlab but couldn't afford the self-hosted instance anymore and want the paid features, which this mostly has.
    • Dokuwiki - Used to use as a wiki, switched to...
    • Trilium - Similar to Obsidian but open source.
    • Kavita - Comics/books
    • TubeArchivist - YouTube video downloader/viewer
    • PodGrab - Podcast manager
    • Wallabag - Website article saver/bookmarker etc. If anyone has a better suggestion for FOSS bookmark management please let me know!
    • Mealie - Recipe manager (grabs recipes from a ton of different sites)

    I use TrueNAS Scale for my NAS and Ubuntu server for my VM's/home server. I probably am forgetting something, but, that's what's listed in my Portainer :).
