And I read the other day that “buy now pay later” loans will be hitting your credit report now, so I’m sure this will definitely help make America great again. What could go wrong?

It also isn’t an operating system. It’s an application that you install on an existing OS.

Could the company decide to lock it to only their hardware? Probably. Could they take money in exchange for preferred listings? Yup.

And if it gets shitty, like OP said, it is just a layer on top of Docker. You can leave it.

CasaOS was key in easing me into the world of Docker. I understand general use enough to be comfortable installing without Casa and jumping into compose files and such. But I’ll still check out the store for apps sometimes just for ease of use.

Whole post is just a rant against something that OP apparently doesn’t know anything about.

I really didn’t think I was going to like a minimal launcher after so many years with Nova and then AIO, but OLauncher really clicked for me.

Since then, I upgraded to ProLauncher, which mostly adds shortcut icons on the right (I believe that’s what I upgraded for anyway). It’s been great.

I was going to make a snarky comment until I read the article. I visited AG infrequently, but considered it a solid place when I was looking for new games or info about a game. That really sucks the way it played out.

Idiocracy - My 18yo was turned off by the repeated use of F and R slurs even when I tried to explain the movie to her. She left.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes - I had no interest in another reboot, but finally gave it a shot. It was really good. Looking forward to watching the rest.

Raiders of the Lost Ark - Well…I had it on while I was sick this weekend so I more listened to bits as a drifted in and out of sleep. Woke up in time for the finale though, and that shit is still awesome.

I find the opposite. I love video games, always have, but these days my time is more limited, I might go months without touching them, and I just play to relax. So over the past 10 years or whatever, things like GTAV, Fallout 4, and AC:Odyssey have worked out really well for me. I can pick them up whenever I want and either settle in for some story or just waste time exploring, doing side quests, finding collectibles.

Like what would I rather do in real life? Work toward a single goal day after day, or see what’s on top of that mountain over there just because?

Renegades - Keifer Sutherland and Lou Diamond Phillips. It was alright. Highlight was the hilariously reactive flinching of a dead woman as shots were fired.

Empire Strikes Back - I mean…it was May 4th. Watched the 4K80 edition and didn’t miss any of the digital edits from later versions.

Bless rainy weekends and work travel weeks.

Dick Tracy - I haven’t watched this since it was in theaters. Such a bonkers movie. But just like during the original release, I just wish Beatty wasn’t the lead. He’s too old and just dull as he’ll.

Fubar - not the Schwarzenegger one, but the Canadian one about an aging metal dude getting his nut removed. It was alright. I’ll watch the second one.

Empire Strikes Back (Project 4K80) - Yeah, none of the digital additions are missed at all in this one.

The Clone Wars (2008) - I had skipped this because I never got into the original animated Clone Wars shorts. It was good and nice to see Ahsoka’s introduction.

Since this was posted to Lemmy, seems like a definite miss! Real nice info graphic though, thanks OP.

Hey look kids, there’s Big Ben, and there’s Parliament.

It’s not going to do much at this point, but I’ll give you a +1. I’m all in on AOC, but this isn’t even an article. No insight, no attempt to discern any truth, and barely even able to contextualize the tweets. It’s trash for clicks.

I installed Capyreader for the capybara, but stayed for how nice the app is.

I think a lot of the responses here get at the fact that Mastodon does take a little time and work to curate a feed that you enjoy.

I run a little instance with a few active users, so I follow them. I don’t tend to follow hashtags, but I check them out now and then to look for interesting posters. Browse the FediFollows account and https://fedi.directory/ . Use a hashtag or two when you post sometimes and check out the accounts that share or like your post.

Follow accounts liberally, but unfollow just as liberally they just don’tdo it for you. Eventually, you’ll end up with something that you enjoy.

Everyone has said Nextcloud, and I agree.

I will also add though that I keep Nextcloud on a VPS rather than hosting it at home. Easier for me in terms of backups and storage, plus I don’t have to worry about a kid or my wife unplugging the PC to charge a phone or something. 🙃

I’ve been trying out the DuckDuckGo browser for the last week or so and it’s doing the job. Of your list, it doesn’t have a tab bar, but it checks the other boxes well enough, I think. I do really miss the reader mode button in Firefox. And generally the ability to use extensions.

My reasoning and setup are different, but I’m also looking at DAS solutions this week for a media server.

After just about a month of hosting some things on a Raspberry Pi 4, I think it’s about time to work on repurposing this mini PC that hasn’t been doing much the last few years and keep growing my services.

To that end, can anyone point me to a good, thorough guide to getting going with Sonarr? I installed it, but then realized I needed to add a client and Prowlarr and I feel like I just started in the middle.

I agree with this. I’m running CasaOS on a Pi4. Having the initial ease of one click installs gives you a great start, then you’ll start to find that you need to manage some port assignments, then you’ll start learning about Docker environment variables, then you’ll be managing custom installs.

Awesome-Selfhosted is a great resource. Just browse and try something interesting.

My own recent journey went like this:

Run AdGuard Add DokuWiki, Navidrome, Mealie Set up Cloudflare Tunnels Add FreshRSS, Homer, SearchXNG

I also have Nextcloud on a VPS, but the fun is on the Pi.

Thanks! It just threw an error at me when I launched it, but I’ll see what I can do. Based of the warnings in the admin panel, there isn’t anything critical for me to address, I just hate that orange.

Since it’s winter and I mostly don’t want to leave my house, I busted out an unused Raspberry Pi 4b a couple weeks ago. Started with CasaOS and AdGuard. Have now added a few other services including Navidrome to serve up a lot of local-area music for myself and friends. Got a Cloudflare tunnel set up, then some authentication through CF as well. And finally secured a static IP from my ISP. This is the farthest along I’ve ever gotten with any of this and it’s been going great. Nearly every hurdle I’ve encountered I’ve been able to work through.

Two things causing me grief today though:

1. I also have Nextcloud hosted on a VPS and I cannot get to the point of running occ commands. First it wasn’t found, then no php cli, then just errors. I gave up.

2. I’m using Homer because it’s just so simple, but the theming and CSS is driving me nuts. Sure, I can change colors, but will this little bar in the neon theme change from 4em to 100% for me? NOPE. Override fonts? Nosir. All good though.
