When I tell people I don't want kids, the most common responses are: Won't you be lonely? Who will take care of you when you are old?
It seems like to me that a lot of people are having kids just so that somebody can take care of them when they are old. People like that are not very good parents in my experience. And so, even when they are old, their kids barely speak to them and don't take care for them, because they didn't take care of their kids.
I feel like I wouldn't be a very good parent. I value my free time too much and freedom to go whenever and wherever I want.
I would even go lower than that. If you showed me Prey 2017 or even Alien Isolation 2014, and told me they came out today. I would probably believe you.
I always hear about Shapiro, Peterson, Crawler (or whatever his name is), and their debates. Is there somebody on the other side? I don't know about anyone.
When are we finally moving to a percentage based fines?
If I actually became cartoon style femboy in real life, becoming billionaire wouldn't be that hard imo.
Thx for explanation. I guess his love was so strong, she literally ran away from him.
I use Steam Chat for playing games with family and friends. It has better audio quality than discord in my opinion, and you can make groups (something like Discord servers) too. It doesn't have all the functionality of servers, but the basic idea is there.
I am actually surprised nobody mentioned it yet Why use some third party application, when you can use the Steam's one.
It's not like the OP is concerned about privacy. They were using discord. They didn't say it has to be open source.
For talking outside of gaming or away from PC, I use signal.
What's the context? Why was that cultist jumping on the couch?
Whenever Disney is involved in something, you can be 40% sure that it will be shit from the start, or 99% sure it will be shit in a long run.
Fico didn't expect to get this deal. Didn't he just recently say that Ukraine will get into NATO only over his dead body? There is no way he thought they would agree. He just wanted an excuse to go on national television to say, Ukraine bad, Putin good.
I want to play them. Sony PC ports are objectively good games. Maybe you subjectively don't like some but you are a minority.
They lost sales from me. Given time, I would probably buy all of them. I usually always buy games. I have 800 games on Steam.
So glad I didn't buy any Sony PC port yet. I will pirate every single one of them.
I will worship you too, when you provide me with first class Linux support for games.
I could have sworn this was onion.
I switched to Linux around 2019, I thought dxvk was a lot older. How did games run in wine without dxvk?
But you have to pay to use this machine. So the people who made it are self-interested in you dying because they want your money.
I know even better. You just have to go to the gym and ask one girl for a free copy.
Unless you were rich of course. I feel like if you appeared in any time period and were rich, you would be mostly fine. Maybe not France.
It still wouldn't be better than preset. Doctors, technology etc...
I need help with my first home server. Permission/ownership and samba issues.
I have been using linux for a couple of years already, very casually, just browser, media, games. Recently I bought dell micro pc and installed proxmox on it. I don't have a lot of hdds or raid or anything, just one 6tb usb external drive. I know, I could lose everything, but I don't have anything important in there, just media. It's a relatively new drive, so I hope it will hold for at least half a year, and then I plan to buy proper hdds.
Hdd is connected to the proxmox host with usb, and then with mount points to lxc containers. Audiobooshelf, samba, qbittorent, all containers are debian 12.
When I download book with qB lxc, it automatically shows up in audiobookshelf (abs) lxc thanks to mount points. Abs can play it but, I can't change cover, delete, move it etc, because of permissions. This screenshot is from proxmox host.
Same thing happes when I manually upload the book to audiobookshelf, then other lxc containers have problem accessing it. Or when I upload something to the server with samba.
I know how to change it with chmod and chown, but when I download new book it is the same thing again, I don't want to manually change permissions and ownership every time new folder/file appears in hdd. In lxc container I cant even change ownership, it says: "Operation not permitted" even though I have root.
This is my samba config. It's terrible and unsecure, but after 2 days of trying to make it work, I just wanted to try everything. I will probably switch to nfs, idk if it will help.
I'm really lost, idk how to make lxc containers talk to each other through those mounts points without breaking permissions/ownership. Is there some other way? Idk if there is a very simple solution and I just made fool of myself. I know that root and 777 eveywhere is bad idea, but I wanted to at least first get everything working. And I don't plan to connect anything to the internet in the near future anyways.
It's really late here, and I have to work tomorrow, so I won't be able to reply until tomorrow evening.
opensuse and KDE wallet
So I just installed opensuse KDE for the first time and when I was typing password for my WiFi, instead of connecting me, some window appeared asking for creating encrypted wallet. I don't need that so I turned it off in the system settings, but then my PC always forgets my WiFi pasword after shutdown. So I turned on and created that wallet, but now every time PC turns on I have to unlock the wallet before PC connects to WiFi.
This is first time I have come across something like this. I even used opensuse before just not KDE version.
Can I just uninstall it? I don't have good experience with uninstalling KDE dependencies. Will PC keep forgetting passwords without it? I just want PC to automatically connect to WiFi without my input.
I want to study psychology but won't AI make it redundant in a couple of years?
I know it's not even close there yet. It can tell you to kill yourself or to kill a president. But what about when I finish school in like 7 years? Who would pay for a therapist or a psychologist when you can ask for help a floating head on your computer?
You might think this is a stupid and irrational question. "There is no way AI will do psychology well, ever." But I think in today's day and age it's pretty fair to ask when you are deciding about your future.
Fairphone 4 is making hundreds of unwanted connections per day, to the same addresses.
So I got Fairphone 4, with /e/ os, a couple of days ago. When I connected it to my NextDNS I saw that it was trying to connect to some weird addresses, like every 5-10 minutes. I searched Internet a bit and found out that it was something with snapdragon cpu and location services. I travel a lot and use Organic Maps for navigation, so location was enabled almost all day on the phone. I turned off location services and connections stopped, and everything was fine for a couple of days.
Today I came home, checked logs in NextDNS and saw that phone started doing the same connections almost constantly even with location turned off.
Can I do something about this, other than allowing these connections? These connections are probably so numerous because they are getting blocked. If I allowed them, phone would maybe call home once in a couple of hours. I would rather not allow them, but I don't want 20% of battery to be eaten by this.
I just got my steam deck RMAed after 1.5 years. Guess what was the first thing I did when It turned on.
I had some performance problems. Suddenly, steam deck lost about 60% of its performance in games. My troubleshooting didn't help. After that, I contacted steam support. We were talking for about a week, but nothing helped, so they agreed to send me a replacement.
I have to say… The fresh vent smells even better than I remember.
Will federation work better?
I'm currently on lemmy, but I'm starting to like kbin more and more, but federation is really confusing. Post on lemmy has a lot more interaction than on kbin
Subscribers are not synced. It looks like if you are on kbin and are looking at lemmy community, it shows only subscribers from your kbin instance. Same if you are on lemmy and looking on kbin magazine.
Is this intended?
