I finally began to just purge everything, its a whole project trying to sell off my projects though so now my living room is a warehouse of boxes and bubbles wrap I’ve been bringing home from work

Who uses half a lemon, toss the whole sucker in or add it to a drink I say

Yeah if I feel any interest for later I’ll bookmark it and put it in a folder that I’ll never click on until years later just to check of the link still works

I can’t stand looking at too many tabs, I get claustrophobic, I usually close the browser which purges all history, cookies, etc and open it again to start fresh

For self hosting I run a separate machine with unraid which basically makes it super simple.

As far as learning Linux its tough because there are so many different ways to do things it mostly depends on what you choose. For desktop I mostly just hit the super key and search for settings or whatever I need, I never really open the terminal except for the one time I needed to disable the thunderbolt reset when connecting my eGPU.

For self hosting its mostly learning about containers whether its podman which I think theres a flatpak in bazaar, or using distroshelf which is preinstalled. Or using a separate machine with something like proxmox, truenas, or unraid.

After that the most you do is go to the application store and tell the container where to save the config files and where to access data, maybe change a port if its already used.

After that you want to setup a VPN to your home with something like wireguard or tailscale

The jerk-it notification, its time to go relieve yourself

My daughter picked up on us distracting her with stuff that she distracts us when we ask her if she’s peed or something

I always note this stuff down in obsidian so that next time I reinstall the os I know what I did

This was my setup for rapid photo downloader

Photos Destination

mnt -> photos -> Photography hit the cog to edit

<Extension (UPPERCASE)>/<Image date (YYYY)>/<Image date (MM)>/<Image date (DD)>

Videos Destination

mnt -> photos -> videos hit the cog to edit

<Video date (YYYY)>/<Video date (MM)>/<Video date (DD)>

photo rename

<Image date (YYYY-MM-DD)>_<Image date (HHMMSS)>_<Camera model (UPPERCASE)><Session number (Four digits)>

video rename

<Video date (YYYY-MM-DD)>_<Video date (HHMMSS)>_<Session number (Four digits)>

For dark table import I make the folder structure like this

$(EXIF.YEAR)/$(EXIF.MONTH)/$(EXIF.DAY)

And the rename like this

$(EXIF.YEAR)-$(EXIF.MONTH)-$(EXIF.DAY)_$(EXIF.HOUR)$(EXIF.MINUTE)$(EXIF.SECOND)_$(EXIF.MODEL)_$(SEQUENCE).$(FILE_EXTENSION)

This gets saved to a photos folder on my external drive that also gets sync’d to my nas at home with syncthingy

I used to use photo rapid downloader which was really nice but haven’t figured out how to use it on bazzite

Photo rapid downloader is probably what you want if you are also doing videos. Just make sure you get the destinations and naming setup for both photo and video before doing a big batch

I used to split up my photos by format also but gave that up after I couldn’t get photo rapid on bazzite and just switched to darktable import

Same way I say arch, but without the ch

Yeah its basically like gaming directly on it, I mostly played like 2d platformers and stuff like stardew or graveyard keeper that could run off the igpu

The first thing I do when I get to work is VPN home and check if my server containers need any updates. I have so many services running but hardly use, just because I want my server to do more. I even had a headless steam container so I could game from my phone like a steam deck while pooping at work

Thats cool, but is there a way to replace that giant finger cursor

OK I didnt know you could run older games from windows xp through steam I’ll try to figure it out, I was watching a video last night about using lutris and how to mount the iso from archive.org

Yeah but the steam one seems kind of sketch reading the reviews

What can I use to play kingdom under fire a war of heroes I think it was on windows xp

Isnt it why its called a spectrum
