Its so cheap to just get a vps from a littlecreekhosting deal, I checked them all on lowendtalk and its the cheapest for highest specs, you do have to comment your invoice to double ram, but its 4 core 8gb ram for 3.50 a month and 8core 16gb 7$ cogent amd epyc, and solid ssd space 140-160 idr exactly, they have multiple deals posted, the one with the prices I mention is the best one, they also had windows vps deals. Spent way too long testing hella, its not the best ping out there for me since I’m fairly far but I’m not hosting gameservers so its a non issue.

There are many other deals on lowendtalk but they are typically for way less resources or way more expensive for a lot more resources

You could also host friendica or streams to access the same content if you know what communities you want to sub to, the apps suck tho compared to lemmy

Yes its not severely outdated, just a little bit, 3 weeks ago it was up to date

idk lately ive had more help outside it on random forums, just dont add reddit to your search, like reddit advice used to be s tier now its c tier, when you compare results from advice you get off other forums, a lot of shills, everywhere, like the webhosting related subreddits

This platform is so irreleevant and small, I dont see how discussing politics here changes anything, no one here has any agency in the governement of any country, I need to swap to programming.dev or figure out how to instance block this stuff

Like lets all agree with each other in our bubble, we did it guys, changed nothing.

Gnome with extensions like dock to panel and arcmenu (need those two at least but with them its pretty near perfect), or kde plasma are your best bet, plasmas almost too easily customizable I find myself messing with it a lot.

If you want immutable go bazzite, cachyos I initially dualbooted before erasing my whole drive and reinstalling because I didnt want to deal with windows ever again, piracy is harder, other than that everything I use works.

Cachyos works perfectly fine for me, it installs all the packages has a cachyos steam compatibility thing, just works for everything, had to install blender off the official site because the aur package has issues and had to grab those amd drivers seperately but thats about it

He donated his to my hs randomly, it was supposed to goto the valedictorian but the school kept it lmao, it was so funny because they showed everyone a video where he says not to keep the typewriter and its for a student

I havent used it in 15 years and will prob keep that up, used to weirdly love photo editing

I use porkbun and you get cloudflare through them, not sure to what extent, porkbuns just cheaper, I like their ui, straightforward, everything you need on one screen.

Try that with an ebook

is all of midwestsocial like this or just you

I just feel like he doesnt do it, hed be more self aware and a better person, I think he lies to seem coll because ketamine was a cool meme for a bit

When I was testing panels I started up a bunch and deleted them the next day, saved me time reinstalling on a single one.

Hetzners still the cheapest pay by the hour option in the US? Long term id use racknerd or littlecreekhosting, but for quick deployments that are paid by the hour on the 3rd of the month, Hetzner is great. Don’t have to whip out the credit card, it’s instant.

Rd has no issues torrenting stuff? If it isnt cached it downloads it for me faster than my internet could lol. Thats a good idea tho, but typically if I lose internet, I’ve also lost power.

any reason to use this over real debrid + stremio?

Pretty common irl, ppl that are constant problems get away with shit because its expected, anyone retaliating because they reached their breaking point looks insane in comparison

cachyos is easiest way to arch, I found the install to be easier than bazzite, its all graphical, very straightforward, just works, imo gnome with extensions is superior to plasma rnow if you want a clean modern look, plasma can get you one too, gnome just feels more crafted. Plasma feels more like an easily tinkerable windows ui, imo in a year itll be nice.

Reason why I talk about gnome and plasma more than distros is that reslly decides your day to day a bit more, bazzite gnome vs plasma or if cachyos you can have both, requires some tinkering. I go back and forth but gnome is the one where I actually end up using my laptop more and feeling good about the look with minimal extensions/tinkering. Gnome without extensions is bottomtier tho imo, not much customization by default (to be fair extensions are built in and a default thing)

I see no reason to switch rnow, but atomic blue distros like bazzite should be safer long term and in general. Backups, fixes issues on reboot, stable with tested updates, etc. You can change to another without losing your files/data. Can’t easy effect settings, etc. Im a tinkerer tho, so cachy is superior, things that takes seconds would take minutes and workarounds on bazzite.
