    FWIW I run Ubuntu and do some gaming. Haven’t hit any issues, and I’ve run multiple AAA games on release (TLOU, Indiana Jones, Hogwarts Legacy, GoW 2018) as well as other, lighter, titles like Cities Skylines 2, Asetto Corsa, Project Cars, American Truck Simulator

    I’m sure there are bugs that I haven’t experienced, and my system is probably newer/higher performance than the average person + i chose parts with Linux in mind. But based on my experience, I wouldn’t tell someone to jump into a less user friendly distro because of problems I myself haven’t run into. Much better to try one, see if you hit an issue, then jump rather than doing the hard one up front


  • Consider your library: most games will be able to run fine on Linux. However, if you predominantly play online multiplayer games which require anticheat you should check compatibility on ProtonDB.

    Second, consider your hardware: if your GPU is AMD you’re good to go. Nvidia might have issues (not sure if this has been resolved since I last had to look into it).

    Finally, choose a distro: I’d recommend Ubuntu or anything Ubuntu-based. There’s a lot of mixed answers in the Linux community and definitely a ton of hate for Ubuntu. However, as someone who has been running Linux for nearly a decade at this point, there are a few key points:

    1. Ubuntu is debian based, so it’s extremely stable(but not as slow to update)

    2. Ubuntu is very beginner friendly, and you won’t need to touch the terminal if you don’t want to

    3. Everyone hates on snaps, but for you I don’t think you’ll run into an issue with it.

    Personally, I steer towards debian based distros for my devices as well because I’d rather spend time messing with the software I’m running or other things NOT debugging why my config is suddenly shitting the bed





  • It’s a program that uses an SDR to pick up the signals broadcasted by planes (ADS-B) containing their flight information. Then the data gets uploaded to an aggregator (FR24, Flight Aware, ADS-B Exchange) that gives a global view of all planes in the sky.

    You can use the aggregators for free without uploading, but you get some perks for being a contributor. I just do it because it’s cool and I use the platforms for getting info on flights I’m taking (you can tell if your flight is gonna be delayed if the plane is delayed elsewhere for example).






  • The audacity of this company to increase prices when:

    A) downloads are locked behind the paywall but havent worked in years (probably close to a decade at this point)

    B) they focus all the development time on bringing bullshit to the platform (live tv, rentals, other streaming app searches, etc)

    Requiring a subscription for remote access is actually fucking insane, they don’t have any bandwidth costs associated with that other than authentication so ???

    This will drive people to Jellyfin, and watch how fast Plex drops into irrelevance when all the selfhosters move away. Plex is (now was) the #1 thing to that both myself and others in this community would recommend to someone looking to get into selfhosting. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ not anymore, wonder how much the revenue will drop?



  • Hey, can you elaborate a little bit more? Based on my Google search, casa-os is a front end for selfhosting? So, I would assume that you are not connecting to the right ports.

    So, my assumption is: casa-os is using your port 80 and 443, so when you set up the DNS A Record, and navigate to it in your browser, it takes you to the homepage for casa-os. If this is indeed the case, then you have a couple options. You could:

    1. Change the ports that casa-os is using and then rebind NGINX to 80 and 443
    2. set up a second device just for NGINX (which is what I do, I use a Raspberry Pi just for network entry for stability reasons)
    3. (I’ve never done this, so YMMV) you might be able to use Tailscale Serve
      • You would have it serve the port for NGINX under your Tailscale DNS name
      • Once you’re there, I imagine that you could use a CNAME DNS record or something on your custom domain in order to continue using the domains that you want, sub domains, SSL, etc.

    Let me know what ends up working for you. I hope that either option 1 or 3 work, if those fail then you can definitely get it working via option 2 :)
