Related to this, has anyone had luck using a #minecraft velocity server as a proxy to #pufferpanel? Except I’ve decided to add some added complexity and have the #velocity server run on my homeassistant pi and boot up the beefier pc on demand.

I’m trying to decide if writing a custom plugin for the velocity server is the best bet, and have that handle everything itself.

I’ve spent some time this weekend reinstalling my desktop with #CachyOS. Previously it used #bazzite, as it was mostly used for gaming, but I was also using it to run some heavier game servers and doing all of that in #distrobox was getting annoying. So far it’s been a nice experience, and I’m enjoying being able to mess stuff up again

About a month ago I switched away from using my own dotfiles for #niri in lieu of #dankmaterialshell. It might stem from me wanting to just use my machine instead of having to maintain my machine, but it’s been a very nice experience. The devs are working hard adding a ton of features to make a nice desktop environment, and there’s already a pretty in depth plugin ecosystem for adding more specific features. I’ve been enjoying it!

This mastodon client came to me in a fever dream.
I had to waste the whole day, but now you too can bunnyhop through your fedi feed.
https://files.burning.homes/experimental/hall-of-toots/index.html

* webgl required
* mobile somewhat supported
* yes this html file is a whole client and the entire source
* it would run smoother and look better if you launch it locally so it don't have to bypass CORS, but oauth won't work and you'll have to use access token
* you can click urls and images
* you don't really have to login, and can just hop around the public timelines (i.e. Instance = https://mastodon.social , empty token, Federated timeline, Use Access Token)
* but I'm too tired to support CW and sensitive, so it'll kinda be full of porn
* admins will hate you
* 429 error means you won
* I am in dire need of salvation

With so many folks exploring Linux (hi #Windows10 peoples<3) or just #DistroHopping, I have to share a massive quality-of-life tool: Ventoy.

It's an opensource tool that sets up your USB stick once. After that, you just drag-and-drop multiple ISO files (Linux, Windows, BSD, etc.) onto it like a normal drive.

When you boot from the USB, Ventoy gives you a menu to pick which ISO you want to run.

No more re-flashing your drive every single time!

Ventoy

Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO files. With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk again and again, you just need to copy the iso file to the USB drive and boot it.

I don’t think we’re gonna make it fam.

Best 25$ ever spent.

Using some old HDDs, now I have pretty much unlimited backup storage for my pictures and videos.

If you didn't know about Immich, now is the time to make the switch.

On vacation which means this is probably a good time to install Linux, since Windows 10 is meeting its maker and I do not wish to use 11.

I used Arch like, 10 years ago? My knowledge is out of date, though. Which distro are all the sickos using these days? #linux #arch

What's a good (open source, self-hosted) platform for managing centralised authentication for a collection of servers?

Got a mix of Alpine, Ubuntu, FreeNAS, and Proxmox servers and I want to set up a central platform for user accounts.

Does anyone know what thermistor value I’m supposed to read off a monoprice mini v2 bed? the display on it thinks it's 104(c?) and that feels, well, wrong 😄

alternately, is this a printer worth troubleshooting? I think it's been in a moving box for a while.
