The dot com bubble 2.0 is on the horizon

I really liked the Custom Maps in Warcraft 3 online play. I used to play Hero Line Wars, Mauls and TDs, Dota, Legion TD among other amazing community made maps

It depends on the project/container. Some containers run Debian, some Alpine, some Ubuntu. I mostly rely on the community scripts from here and use the defaults.

I guess everything that supports containers, QEMU and KVM is compatible to use as a guest OS in Proxmox.

Yes, as I said it’s a debian base. But Proxmox is built for servers and using it to host and share containers or virtual machines is super simple. Especially with the community helper scripts that can set up different self-hosting projects within minutes with minimal tinkering.

Personally I would recommend Proxmox. It’s a debian based distro for hosting containers and virtual machines

Whatever. You’re not worth my time anymore. Keep getting scammed by cloud hosting if you want to. I will keep using my home server and spread the word about how easy it is to host a home server and how much of a scam a VPS is.

When the majority of people talk about self-hosting they specifically talk about hosting a service on your own hardware. Not a rent on someone else’s computer…

Even Lenovo knows this shit…

Sure, you could say that since you put the service on the VPS. But you don’t own the server and host it on your own hardware. Which is what the person you replied to was talking about. Why would you even point out that hosting a service requires special knowledge if you find hosting in a VPS and at home equal?

Once could say it requires special knowledge to host a service in the cloud too. The extra step I had to take was to open port 80 and 433 on my server and install nginx to forward the traffic to the right container on my local network since I only have one public IP. It took me minimal research to figure it out.

The point was that self-hosting is not hard if you do it the right way. You claim it’s very hard and requires specialized knowledge. I don’t think it’s much different than hosting in the cloud.

I got started self-hosting last week when I got a hold of a smal Lenovo ThinkCentre. I installed Proxmox on it and if I want to self-host something I just spin up a container or virtual machine on the Proxmox system. It’s so much easier than installing self-hosted projects on bare metal. And if you want to change things around then just disable or delete the container/vm and let Proxmox stay clean. If one container breaks the rest of the system will still function.

I could easily host Lemmy from home with Proxmox and a reverse proxy with my current setup. I am not going to because I am not interested in moderating a platform and all the responsibility that comes with it, but it’s very possible to do.

Edit: the Proxmox community helper scripts makes installing most things a breeze! I use them every opportunity I get.

This is the first script to start with on a fresh install

Do you have a torrent client installed? Do you know how to download using a torrent client? If you don’t have one yet then I can recommend qBitTorrent. It’s a well developed torrent client.

I can recommend watching some YouTube video on how torrenting works. It’s fairly straight forward. You basically download a small .torrent file (or use a magnet:url.

A magnet is the same as a torrent but there is nothing to download first. Just add the magnet address to your torrent client.

In the torrent client you then get a window that asks you where to place the downloaded file and also a few other tweaks you can do. Usually you only need to press OK and the download starts.

The hard part in sailing the high seas is finding good websites with the content you are looking for. Every torrent also needs another person to upload the file. If you have no one to download from then you will not get your file.

It is common courtesy to keep the torrent client running even after reaching 100%. This will help others download the file from you. This is the core feature of torrents. Everyone that downloads also helps with sharing the file. That’s how we keep spreading the data. As long as there is 1 person uploading, then the torrent will be alive.

Please note, a torrent can have 0 people sharing (Seeders) for the moment but might become active several hours later once another person turn on their computer and start sharing the file again.

I hope I didn’t ramble too much and you got something out of it. Best of luck!

There is always something to critique, huh? I think it’s positive that he has changed his stance regarding LGBTQ+ and even made a children’s song spreading the message that love is love. We need more inclusion, acceptance and tolerance in this society.

If Snoop is smart enough to spread a positive message and earn money at the same time, then good for him. At least he is trying to spread positivity to the world.

How would a war keep Trump in office? The US doesn’t have any laws that will stop elections during war time. Trump think that they do, because he told Zelensky that, and Ukraine has laws preventing an election during war.

Lmao we’re in a shit posting community. I don’t think you need to take that person seriously. I take it as a joke

I think Linux Mint would be a good first distro.

I recently learned about a project called Operese. It is a Windows to Linux migration tool that also sets up Kubuntu. Kubuntu is Ubuntu with the KDE desktop environment instead of the GNOME desktop environment. I don’t know how well that tool works since I never tried it but it looks promising.

There is also a new project called Winboat that is meant to make it easier to install and use Windows software such as Adobe Photoshop

The last time must have been when Valheim released. That shit got me hooked. Now I am waiting for the Deep North biome to finish development before I play it again.

Now that I think about it the last time was when Schedule 1 released.

The problem has originated because he changed the license resulting in older versions being the only way to ship duckstation.

Edit: lisence to license
