Dirt 2 is a game that I have really enjoyed being shit at.

I used just a Synology NAS with Docker containers to begin with but outgrew that. Now I have a mini PC with a 12th Gen i5 (picked up cheap on eBay) for computing and the Synology NAS is just a NAS.

Docker containers:

Glutun (VPN), qBittorrent, media managers (sonarr, radarr, prowlarr, flaresolverr), Jellyfin (video streaming), Paperless NGX (document upload), Immich (photo upload), watchtower (auto update Docker containers), Plex (because my wife isn’t used to Jellyfin yet and it takes a while to transition her to unfamiliar technology), Actual (budgeting), Syncthing (file sync), Element server (chat server just for myself, I make channels to cross-share snippets of text/links/images to myself, accessible on any device).

Still need to set up Lidarr and Beet for my music management. Also need to find a good exercise logger, set up Guacamole remote access interface, learn to use Dockage to replace Portainer, set up an RSS docker app and audio bookshelf for podcasts and audiobooks. Haven’t got the guts to approach Home Assisstant yet.

I stopped looking for a notes app and use Joplin to sync with my Mailbox.org account, but I might look for a Docker solution for notes.

NoMachine runs on my server PC for remote desktop. The server PC runs Debian with KDE (because I’m familiar with setting up what I need in KDE, which is the most superior of all desktop environments).

Synology handles making my apps accessible externally (from Synology.me reverse proxy addresses).

I used to use the Marius Hosting site to set up Synology Docker containers. Now I just copy his YAML data and edit it for my server. So I still use those guides.

I’ve written a noob guide notes for myself to set this all up again in case I destroy it somehow (already happened once). Really enjoyed using my week off to learn all this.

And Monster Train

And Dicey Dungeons

Why would I leave this planet? All my stuff is here.

I specifically bought an AMD GPU when building my PC. So I’ve successfully avoided all this Nvidia driver nonsense.

Tumbleweed is amazing. Got me onto Linux for good.

I’ve moved on to CachyOS now. But Tumbleweed truly does not get recommended enough.

This artist’s own art becomes relevant in self reference:

Agree with everything you’ve said. I would add OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I tried all the KDE distros you mentioned and OpenSUSE is what really got me using Linux longterm.

Also, I didn’t know about this at the time, but now that I look back I wonder if Tuxedo OS would have been the best starting option for me. I wonder why Tuxedo OS hardly gets mentioned.

They may be literally the only source of detailed information about your day to day childhood.

Also their thoughts and feelings and who they are as a person (and how this has changed over time).

If you want to know these things, then you better start having long conversations with them directly.

Carpets are expensive though.

Humans are nowhere near 90% water.

Still better than my autocorrected sign off

Kind retards

Seeing my kids happy and growing as a parent. I’ve put a lot of effort into learning better parenting and better understanding my neurodiverse kid. I’m really pleased about the progress I’ve made, but equally I’m getting increasingly horrified at how bad I used to be.

Making something. Building wardrobe, making a desk, soldering a custom keyboard kit, making a DIY hitbox game controller, put together a gaming PC, put together a home server, made a website, wrote some support material for younger people giving exams in my professional field, etc.

Or learning about things. Reading non-fiction books, watching educational youtube channels, listening to podcasts, learning to use Linux, etc.

Achieving something meaningful at work.

Yup

Clearly a candidate for sainthood.

Hot take: men’s barbers should have jurisdiction over all these areas as routine grooming.

No one could have predicted such an outcome
