that’s not how evolution works

you can try changing your io scheduler: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Improving_performance#Input/output_schedulers

i think by default ssd and nvme drives get ‘none’ as they should be fast enough to just take first come first serve and get everything done, however in certain cases like this you can get bogged down by a single thing hogging the drive for a long time. i’d recommend ‘kyber’, it’ll treat io requests similar to network requests and give requests tokens that ensure everything requesting io gets the io within reasonably responsive timeframes. note: this will slow your single task read/write speed, but only a tiny bit and it’s worth it for other things being able to use disk while it’s being hogged like on a game update.

apple a day

unexpected keyboard is great and i don’t know shit about the dev and i hope it stays that way

he’s a fuckin nazi who pays lip service and does pr stunts to seem moderate. see also: uk’s starmer.

they’re cryptofascists.

check out librewolf or waterfox for firefox without the corporate garbage and with more secure and private defaults.

you have a few options. yes, wine. also, lutris, winboat, and bottles. these all act as ‘make windows app run like any other app on my linux machine’. if those don’t work for your program then you can try installing a windows virtual machine with virt-manager. if you’re familiar with docker, check out dockur/windows for a docker container that automates a quick win vm setup with a webgui. (disclaimer: i have not tried this project yet, don’t know how well it works)

if you need heavy gpu use, however, you might have to dual-boot. you have linux installed on one disk partition and windows installed on another. you pick which one you want with the grub bootloader menu that shows when you start up. you can only run one at a time and must reboot to switch. it’s highly recommended to install windows first, then linux, and familiarize yourself with repairing grub with a linux liveusb as windows updates frequently break it. don’t worry i know that sounds scary, but it’s just the bootloader that breaks, not your linux or windows install, and it’s just a few simple commands to fix.

imho almost any professional software should work with wine/lutris/winboat/bottles/vm, but dual boot is there if you find it necessary.

also consider if you actually do need those particular pro programs. there are likely multiple foss (free and open source software) projects that do whatever it is you need to do. of course if it’s a case of company policy mandating use of certain programs there’s not much you can do besides dual-boot.

they’re nazis doing nazi shit they want to do, it’s not a fucking distraction. it’s not fucking 4d chess. this is what they want. they’d be doing this even if they weren’t pedos. they’ve not even ever really tried that hard to hide that they’re pedos. the epstein files won’t bring them down even if they’re all released unredacted. you’re distracting yourself with what you think is the final all-powerful gotcha in our back pocket that will stop them through courts - which it won’t - while they’re starting their campaign for total world domination.

try out crowdsec, it’s a modern alternative to fail2ban that crowdsources ip blocks from its users with similar setups (optional to contribute to). in the first day i had it set up it had blocked over 50k attempts, mostly scraping and enumeration but also some known http exploit attempts and bruteforcing.

you get 3 blocklists with a free acct so sort the blocklists on their site by size and get the three biggest and you’ll block the vast majority before crowdsec even has to evaluate rules. only like 100 or so or mine have been blocked dynamically by crowdsec, the rest of the now 200k or so total have been those blocklists.

edit: tho i don’t know how much control you have on your hosting service, whether you can install something like this or only plugin things they have integrated into the service themselves.

this is also a capability in a nextcloud app so an admin can more easily replicate a users bug report and see for themselves what’s going wrong. that said i struggle to see how you could implement that in such a way as to avoid abuse, but isn’t that true of any admin powers? this isn’t encrypted cloud storage, it’s a public forum. i’d imagine the process is at the very least heavily logged so other admins and maybe even federates to other instance admins or even mods too so impersonation actions are clearly visible as such. but i don’t know enough about code to read thru and see if it does in either app.

they’re the same backend, proxy manager is just an easy-to-use webgui for nginx. nginx has reverse proxy capabilites as well as the web server stuff.

colloquially we all know ‘ai’ means generative large language models like gpt and copilot. nobody says ‘ai’ these days - especially in the context of question of the post here - and means sythesizers or minecraft or purpose-built and tailored narrowly scoped machine learning models integrated in software. we would say these other terms we’ve used here just like we have.

i literally just installed nextcloud an hour ago and yes the redis error message is your problem, my install was hung here as well. follow the instructions in that error and restart and it should continue where it left off.

edit: it’s talking about the host system sysctl.conf, btw, not within the redis container. i was confused about this at first.

any other linux distro can do vms and containers, too. arguably it’s easier to do that than with proxmox.

but yeah, i wanted to check it out so threw it on the drive i pulled from my old broken laptop to check it out and discovered the wifi omission. i even tried to install base debian and ensure wifi was set up first then convert to a proxmox install. sadly, proxmox’s network stack is in conflict with any other linux network libs and actively uninstalled whichever one i had set up during the proxmox conversion.

i get their reasoning for not supporting wifi after looking it up but imho completely removing it as a possibility is a bit not cool, bro. i wasn’t trying to do any high availability or multiple nodes or anything like that so it wouldn’t have been an issue for my use case anyway.

lolno

desec does offer one free subdomain, and you can use as many nested subdomains as you want for your services. do note you’ll need a wildcard cert for each subdomain level: *.sub.dedyn.io and *.app.sub.dedyn.io if a service needs it’s own subdomains for apis and whatnot.

edit: also a note for any fellow noobs like me it’s deDYN.io not deSEC.io on your account/subdomain. it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize my mistake trying to sign up with every subdomain i tried saying it exists already.

ugh well that sucks butt. i’ll be trying new alternatives tonight i guess lol

any recommendations?

update for posterity: i ditched arcane for just managing compose files manually and lazydocker for logs and restarting containers. it’s plenty good for my needs at the moment. tried komodo and couldn’t get it working and didn’t quite like any others i looked into so i dunno what to recommend for a webgui docker manager.

switched from portainer to arcane recently. much easier on the eyes and the ability to save compose projects without deploying them yet is exactly what i was looking for. one thing is weird and i should prolly make an issue for it: no horizontal scroll or word wrap function in the compose editor, so for those compose files with extensive comments like npmplus you’ll have to have open in a text editor or webpage to read to the end of lines.

Removed by mod

unexpected keyboard also does this, as well as a dedicated arrow keys button. it’s also open source and on both fdroid and play store.
