Linux distro for selfhosting server
Linux distro for selfhosting server - Lemmy.World
So I have been running a fair amount of selfhosted services over the last decade or so. I have always been running this on a Ubuntu LTS distribution running on a intel NUC machine. Most, if not all of my services run in a docker container, and using a docker compose file that brings everything up. The server is headless. I connect over ssh into a tmux config so I am always ready to go. Ubuntu has been my stable server choice over the years. I’ve made the upgrade from 16, 18, 20 and 22 LTS release and everything has kept working. I even upgraded the hardware (old NUC to a new NUC) and just imaged the disk from the old one onto the new machine, and the server kept chugging along quite nicely, after I configured the hardware (specifically the Intel QuickSync for hardware transcoding in the Plex container). Since Ubuntu has been transitioning from a really open community driven effort into a commercial enterprise, I feel it may be time to look at other distributions. On the other hand, it will require a fair amount of work to make the switch. But if it needs to be done, than so be it. I guess I am looking for opinions on what Linux distribution would fit my particular use case, and am wondering what most of us here are running. TLDR; What stable, long term supported Linux distributions do you recommend for a headless server running a stack of docker containers?
Solasta as a platform for solo D&D?
Solasta as a platform for solo D&D? - Lemmy.world
So this may be a silly question. Long time ago I played D&D with friends. We had a good DM, and had a great time as a party of friends roleplaying an interesting adventure. Fast forward to now, where life, family, work and all not easily allows to currently play with a great roleplaying group. So, looking to fill in a bit of the fun, I was looking at doing some solo RPG with FoundryVTT and the Mythic Game Engine. However, focusing more on D&D 5E mechanics in combat I discovered the game Solasta: Crown of the Magister. It looks like it provides a great environment to do some ‘quick’ D&D combat sessions with some light roleplaying. Also, it allows people to create their own adventures and share them. So, on paper it should tick many of the boxes of solo D&D. Has anyone played with Solasta? What did you like from a D&D perspective? And what not? BTW, I’m also playing BG3 (100hrs currently into the game).

Forgotten Realms (Sword Coast) Interactive Map
Forgotten Realms (Sword Coast) Interactive Map - Lemmy.world
For those wanting to get some geographical context of the Baldur’s Gate and the Forgotten Realms, this links to an interactive map with many of the well known places, including Baldur’s Gate itself. This is not directly related to the game, but it is within the same universe and realm as BG3 takes place.
Karmic Dice - yes or no?
Karmic Dice - yes or no? - Lemmy.world
Somewhere during the Early Access Larian introduced the loaded / Karmic dice, to even out extreme effects of dice rolls. In EA this was enabled at default, and I assume the same will be true for the final release. It feels like it is a less pure D&D feature, since D&D gameplay is based on die rolls. What do you think? Play with or without the Karmic Dice option enabled? And why?

How do you get a thumbnail to the site when posting a link to a site? - Lemmy.world
As the title states. When I post an url, I do not get a thumbnail, but a white box with the external link arrow. How can I get a small snapshot as a thumbnail for the post? Should this be generated automatically? Or is this something that needs to be done manually? If so how?
