Yes! I totally appreciate the shot. The composition is awesome. But these lines make me dizzy. 😄

Funny, I am getting uncomfortable looking at the picture. It looks so unnatural. 😬

Don’t get me wrong: You’re 100 % entitled to your preferences and your definition of a hobby.

It was just unusual for me to equate a hobby with putting effort and perseverance into something. For me a hobby is something you simply do for your enjoyment in your free time on a more or less regular basis.

But hey: Definitions differ.🤷

Since when is “mastering it” part of the definition of a hobby?

I get that but why is traveling not a hobby?

Whenever possible phrase a question in a way that can be answered in one word.

That’s a good one! I would also add: When asked a question, determine whether this question can be properly answered in one word. If possible do it!

This is particularly directed at my wife 💋

I’ve read that you’re trying for minimal resource overhead.

Is lighttpd still a thing? Back in the day I used it to deliver very simple static Http pages with minimal resource usage.

I found a docker image with like 4 mb size but being two years old I don’t know how well maintained lighttpd is these days.

Interesting. Do you know how Cosmos handles storage and especially RAID?

Although the mentioned tools are great I don’t know how your comment applies to OPs problem. They are asking for a tool to manage their server and not for a tool to automate their torrenting.

CasaOS is great for very simple (basic!) container management and easy creation of basic shares but it doesn’t offer any tools for RAID management and is only single user oriented so it doesn’t have any access control built in to it’s Samba shares. These features might come in the future though.

I don’t know Yunohost but I’d recommend you Openmediavault. It’s Debian based, offers tools for managing RAID, Docker, Shares, Users, , Access control Lists, Updates and much more.

It’s actually amazing and in active development.

No but with a shoehorn you can slip in and out of your shoes without tying the laces?

But that’s why shoehorns exist?

No, not this year but maybe last fall, early winter. The game itself was running fine but without DLC (which neede the launcher to work) was useless to me.

Maybe I have to give it another try but this experience was the worst possible advertisement for “gaming on Linux” 😐

This is simply not true. I recently tried Linux for gaming after several years because I read that Valve made some great progress. Installed Crusader Kings III and didn’t get Paradox Launcher to run which is necessary for any DLC.

This was literally the first game I installed from my huge library and it simpl didn’t work so I had to do two hours of research, trial and error and reading error logs to conclude that I wasn’t able to solve this problem.

This is the exact reason why I use Windows for gaming. It simply works 99 % of the time. And I don’t have the time to troubleshoot my games all the time.

How is this a technical issue? Seems like your hard drive is working fine?

I am more worried about whether Topton can build a functioning motherboard than about whether they spy on me.

Thanks for your reply! Which board do you have?

Hmm maybe I had bad luck but I won’t dare to try again because the experience was so bad.

For me it’s toner for printers: I have a Brother laser printer at home that is not heavily used but at least once a week. I thought I’d save some money when I bought some cheap ass toner from Amazon that cost about half of what a original Brother toner costs and promised something like double the capacity.

Oh boy… I had the worst mildly infuriating two years of printing you could imagine: always disappointed of the printing quality but not THAT disappointed to replace this shitty but still at 2/3 capacity toner. I paid money for that toner so I’d squeeze every last page of shitty quality prints out of this fucking toner!

Last week I gave up and bought an original Brother toner and it’s a bliss. 🙄

Wow that’s a really amazing answer and you sound like a great prof!

Can you tell us a remarkable example where you learned that students today have different need than you had in the mid 2000s?

Is it some kind of generation gap or were you just an extraordinary student when you were studying?
