Not self-made, but just warmed up my last nights delivery. Although we got creative today and mixed a fresh egg under the cooling noodles/soup.

Hi all!

I've already posted, that the account of my nephew got deleted on his main server and he is pretty devastated because of that.

As he only wants to build things with his friends, I'm starting to think about renting and setting up a VPS, as I'm still having a pretty much unused reserved domain lying around, which I could use for that.

Is that much work to get working (would be running on a Linux server) and is it time consuming to maintain?

And what should I expect hardware wise?
So what would the requirements be?

Maybe some background:
I'm a software developer for real-time Linux applications and I'm running my own business server with a VM as a Wireguard every point into my business network, and then some Docker containers for stuff I need.
I'm not that relaxed with server stuff like that, but I usually get it working and it does what I need.
So, I guess, I should be technically equipped enough to setup a Minecraft server.
But I don't have that much time on hand to really care for it, if it needs like weekly attention.
That's why I wanted to ask, what the timely expense/effort would be, so I could guarantee him and his friends with a stable virtual world.

Thank you all again advance!
The last answers here were really helpful and so I'm really grateful to such a nice community!

Hi all!

So, I gave my old work laptop too my nephew, who loves to play Minecraft.

I set it up with Linux and everything was running perfectly fine.
But now he came to me and said, that his account got deleted or/and all his things are gone.

Because of troubles in my personal life, I didn't had the time to look into it myself, but I just wanted to ask here, if there is maybe a known issue with playing on Linux, as I know, that some games block Linux, because of some anti cheats aren't working on Linux, as those anti cheats modules aren't allowed to run in kernel space, as they would like to.

I'd be really thankful for any help here, as my poor nephew is pretty devastated, because of all the time he spent building in the game and it seems, that everything is lost...

Thanks!

Edit: because the question came up: It's the standard Java edition

Hi all!

I was running Kodi (and some *arr services) on an old laptop, but that one seemingly now decided it was time to die.
It was a bit underpowered for the task anyway and more meant as a test platform, to see if the setup works and if it's also comfortable enough to be used by my wife.

So I'm having this laptop connected with HDMI to the TV, with a HDMI-CEC adapter to let me use my TV remote and a reasonable large (12TB) external USB HDD for mass storage - which is a bit of a bitch, because it tends to go to sleep and not wake up properly or doesn't show with e.g. lsblk anymore (but that could also be a wonky usb socket in the beaten up laptop)

Any recommendations for something that could play some media well enough, handle multiple download connections and isn't eating much power, when not actually in use?

I looked at some Intel NUCs and some Chinese small form factor thingies.
But I'm not entirely sure, what would be sufficient and the best choice here.

Thanks for any input!

Edit: thanks for all the recommendations! I went with a BeeLink S13 (N150/16GB/512GB) and I think, it will exactly fit the the requirements.

If I'm having trouble or see any shortcomings, I'll inform the community here :⁠-⁠)

Hi all!

So, I'm having the problem, that I'm downloading things with the wrong audio language, because it seems Sonarr interprets "SUBBED." as having said language as audio

Is there any way I can filter this out correctly?

Although this versions had a better quality, there were actually versions with the correct language available.
So maybe also my quality profile plays a role and gets higher ranked than my custom language profile?

Thanks for any hint!

Inspired by the post about Dutch chocolate, I wanted to give Zotter some attention.

They have really funky creations and all their raw materials are ethically sourced

(Thanks to @fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com now with English links :⁠-⁠))

They have an online shop as well, which seems to practically distribute worldwide

Hi all!

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm somehow stuck to open a file of a project in a separate window (to put it on another monitor)

I'm fed up with CLion and VSCode is too far from my vim past. So zed seemed like a nice choice, where I don't need to put so much work into getting a working dev env, as I would with (neo)vim - and also caring about extension compatibility with updates is a thing here...

So zed really seemed nice, but after getting my toes wet on my laptop, I switched to my workstation with 3 monitors and I can't find a way to have my project files open on my monitors/in different windows.

Am I just stupid or what am I doing wrong?

Googling told me, that other people have the same problem, but I can't really accept that a modern code editor isn't able to show a file in a different window.

Is this still true?
That sadly would be a show killer, as I can't even open up the same project in a separate zed instance - it just switches to the existing open project

Any help here would be really appreciated.
I really don't want to fall back to CLion - again :⁠'⁠(
Especially as that one is getting more and more bloated and even with the same settings currently behaves different on my laptop and workstation. But it could be that I'm just missing something here...and that's not really the topic anyway

Thanks in advance!

Hi all!

Maybe I'm just clumsy, but had anyone else problems closing the new folio (non typed) covers, when they are completely folded back?

I already had one remarkable pro slip and completely damaged because of that - luckily reMarkable was awesome enough to replace it.

But with the old covers I never had this problem. Seems like there isn't much space to put my fingers to separate the back and front cover again.

Maybe it's just a technique issue and so I'm asking how you guys are doing that

Hi all!

It seems I'm just too stupid to set the preferred/required languages in Sonarr/Radarr.

I'd like to have English, if German is not available - or maybe just a version with both.

I've looked through the trash guides and setup a custom format. But shouldn't that already trigger re-downloads for my stuff or do I need to activate this custom profile somehow?

Sorry, but after paying around for some time, I feel pretty much lost...

Thanks for every hint and help!

Have never seen those bugs before. A whole bunch of them on our only tomato surviver this year.

This is in Austria, if that helps.

Thanks!!

Hi all!

I'm currently looking into the flipper zero as a portable device to help me analyze stuff in my work.
I'm travelling as a software developer, but often need to work at a very low level with hardware in the automation industry.

I've found the Flipperscope, but I'll also need something to record streams of data on serial interfaces with different baudrates - and any other interface to gather raw data would be awesome as well (Ethernet, Profibus, Profinet, CAN,...)
Also, the IOs would need to be able to handle something like 5/12-24/32V.

I'm not quite sure where I should start to look or if the flipper even is a good device for that.
But the form factor and option for extendability seems very intriguing.

Thanks upfront for any input!

had some trouble figuring out how strike through works, so I need to play around a bit
