completely naked

close, but it would actually be missing the codec in proton. bazzite actually comes with a very comprehensive ffmpeg build and all its dependencies.

steam just can’t include those proprietary libs in proton. luckily, protonge exists for this exact reason.

this is most likely an acpi issue. acpi is vendor specific and it’s hard to support every one. there are some work arounds, I’d see if there’s anything in dmesg and go from there. definitely annoying tho.

I haven’t looked at that GitHub but I’m familiar with most of the terms so here goes (verify them if you wish, I can’t promise full accuracy).

portable file server with accelerated resumable uploads: portable most likely means it’s easy to transfer from one server to another should you ever upgrade servers or anything else. resumable means you can pause the transfers if you desire.

dedup: it will automatically deduplicate files. so if you upload the same file twice it will just use the one you previously uploaded, saving space.

webdav is for distributed authoring and versioning. I don’t know a crazy amount about it but assume it means there’s some code in place that aids with collaboration as far as sending a file, working on it, and reuploading goes.

ftp: file transfer protocol.

tftp: trivial file transfer protocol. good for small things but iirc it’s not inherently secure

zerconf: plug and play. no messing with configs needed.

media indexer/all in one file: most likely indexes media uploaded and stores the generated thumbnails in one big file. most likely this is so it’ll be easier to transfer the install to another server if needed (you can move one big file containing all the thumbnails instead of a bunch of tiny ones).

no deps: no dependencies, everything you need is self contained in that repo.

again, double check things your curious about but that’s my interpretation of what most would agree is kind of just a keyword filled description lol

there are lots of cheatsheets out there but the best way to learn commands is practice. different people will use different commands, so you may not need to spend time learning ffmpeg syntax whereas others find it invaluable. Google is your friend while learning. if you have a Linux question, chances are someone else has had the same question and posted about it online. as far as basics go, spend some time learning about grep and find, they are probably the two most valuable basic commands imo outside of the common ls/mkdir/etc.

as for sudo, it’s just “superuser do” so it’s essentially the same as hitting run as admin in windows. lots of times if you try to run a command without sudo that needs it, you’ll get a permission error which reminds you to run as superuser. it eventually becomes second nature to say “ah, this command needs direct access to a hardware device or system files” which means it’ll need to be run with sudo.

according to that page the issue stemmed from an underlying system responsible for health checks in load balancing servers.

how the hell do you fuck up a health check config that bad? that’s like messing up smartd.conf and taking your system offline somehow

almost done re setting everything up after a catastrophic failure (ended up replacing multiple drives, the CPU, the motherboard, the psu, and the ram).

now I’m just running long command after long command, waiting for drives to zero, ensuring extended smart checks pass on new drives, cloning to my backup drives…

this things been down for a few weeks and I’m so excited to have it back up soon!

anyways, moral of the story is, the 3-2-1 strategy is a good strategy for a lot of reasons. just do it, it may save your ass down the line.

you’re a lifesaver!! I swear I looked pretty hard on the internet for this exact solution without success. my apologies!!

thanks for the info!!!

my thing is that it becomes hard to automate things. you install a package in a toolbox, then if you want to use that package in a script you must first enter the toolbox manually. I wish there was a way to enter the toolboxes programmatically for scripting.

edit: I was incorrect, see below comment

love this style!

I ran alpine on bare metal for multiple years. ran jellyfin with no issues. only switched away from it due to very limited GPU driver support.

honestly proton and lutris are godsends for getting old software to work. I feel like I can get old exes working on Linux that wouldn’t work on windows

yesss join us

nice project! I’ll check it out! I’ve also really enjoyed your replies here. it’s obvious you really know your stuff. thanks!

a proper hobbyist setup, well done!

or just change the folder ownership to whatever user you use in the container, but don’t give them write access. that’s how I do it so I can still edit my media as root.

recently dealt with an issue at my parents house where whenever they connected the TV to the wifi, half the devices in the house would lose connection. turns out there was an instability in the Comcast router firmware and whenever the TV would connect it would crash everything else on the 2.4ghz frequency.

solution was to replace the router with one they owned instead of whatever crap they were leasing from Comcast.

yes they do tend to change over the course of a few hundred thousand or even millions of years. not over a 10 yeah gap

you wouldn’t argue if I said all bears are dangerous, even if some will walk right up to you and let you feed them from your hand. again, you should take your anger at this turn of phrase and devote it to something that actually helps your cause.

and for the love of god, it might be time to analyze where you’re getting the news from. if you actually believe the fox news ass all men are rapists line then I dont know what to tell you, your critical thinking might just be fried.

well some of the devs are too busy arguing over which authoritarian boot tastes the best, all under the guide of leftism, so yeah I imagine the bar isn’t exactly high
