I don't provision any two devices exactly the same way, and if I did there's nothing stopping that provisioning script/tool from changing or becoming out of date over time since I'd only run it once every couple of years. I briefly looked at nixos but as another reply said, the major hurdle was the documentation and trying to get "the right way" to do things. I remember flakes being mentioned but being experimental and there being two other things competing as the solution to the same problem and at that point I lost interest. I moved to fedora for the first time in a decade recently and installed what I needed via dnf. It wasn't a difficult enough process to justify learning another programming language.

Clair obscure: Expedition 33. Ok it's not a final fantasy but it's similar turn-based combat to FF/Persona with a lot of style and melodrama. Love it.

As a follow-up to this, my friends did buy it, I therefore bought it, I therefore played it and now have about 12 hours in it.

I thought I'd hate it, but I actually like the battle royale-style closing circle of the map. I thought I'd hate the rushed style of gameplay compared to original souls but I actually like it. And I thought I'd hate the fixed character scaling but I actually like it. The whole game is elden ring combat (not dark souls, way too fast for that) but with the experience condensed to its most primitive, combat focused form. If you want story there is some, but it's drip-fed through fairly typical rogue-like way, so once you pass x number of successful runs you get the next story beat. The run length is a little long at a little under an hour but somehow it still has the rogue-like "just one more run" effect. If I want story I'm not going to play this, but damn is it a fun application of elden ring's combat.

Yup it's on the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo

Oh look it's chrome!

Recently had a look at graphics cards because I'm concerned about my 1080Ti dying at some point but you literally cannot find a better bang-for-buck card than this 9 year old relic (assuming you don't need 4k, which I don't). Never mind that newer cards also consume much more energy too. This is why campaigns like endof10.org are so important. We've all got perfectly good hardware, no need to throw it away just to line some scumbag corpo's pocket.

I was so focussed on the misspelling of "losing" that I missed the chatGBT.

After reading the Rock, Paper, Shotgun review, not so much. I still haven't finished elden ring so I'm more likely to go back to that than start a new thing that's more of the same but not quite. It's taking random characters from other games (Nameless king from DS3 is a named example in the RPS review) so it feels like an attempt to make money from existing assets rather than a genuine attempt to do something creative or interesting. My friends will probably get it which means I'll probably get it but I'm not convinced we'll stick with it.

I don't know much about how national parks work in practice but they seem to be a way to create little feifdoms for people to get into positions of power, even if it is just the power to say you can't park in a certain place overnight.

It doesn't help that win10 support ending doesn't mean your device will immediately die. It means that you'll probably face some kind of consequences at some point in the following year and years to come, which is too hand-wavey for most people.

Seems like a strong signal for more FP4 support. Their current commitment as far as I can tell is for the FP4 to lose support in just under 2 years, so hopefully the "straight to android 15" announcement means that will change. I'd like to just keep the FP4 going as long as possible.

Ugh I don't know why but this was the one that got me. Just no.

 

Hi all, my trusty (but honestly always pretty terrible) Amazon basics tripod finally died, does anyone have a tripod they'd recommend or brands they'd avoid?

Typical usage for me would be travelling/hiking and landscape photography so ideally small and light without breaking the bank (which I know is pretty tough). Budget is variable but call it £100-£200 for now.

 

It's being rolled out in stages so you, like me, may not have it yet.

 

Title. Friend group and I play regularly but most of us are bad at the role playing part of it to the point where it's hard to tell when the player or the character are speaking in some scenes. Conversations are stiff. We can't use too heavily modified voices because we're playing remotely. My character is about to die (probably!) so help me pick a character or trait of my new character that someone not comfortable roleplaying can stick to without feeling weird about it!

 

What do you have, what do you recommend, and why?

Asking as I've got a lot of spare components lying around that I'm planning on turning into a NAS. If it doesn't work out I'll buy a pre-built enclosure and reuse the drives.

 

EDIT: Issue now resolved. Turns out that having an A record point to a DNS server probably wasn't the best idea. My best theory here is that A records pointing to DNS servers means "Find the authority on this domain at this other DNS server", which could never resolve. By pointing it to my VPS, the DNS could resolve to a definitive IP, and the certs were successfully generated.

Hi all, hope someone can help as I'm just confused now!

Long story short I want to host local services (like ntfy) using trusted certificates. I hoped to do this with Caddy and a wildcard domain (I don't want to expose the DNS records of the services I'm running if not necessary).

In my DNS I have an A record for *.local.example.com pointing at a semi-random IP. I have other services on a VPS on other subdomains so I can't just use a wildcard. This looks like:

blog  A  <VPS IP>
*.local  A  1.1.1.1

On the server in my home network (which I do not want to expose) I have dnsmasq running that is handling local DNS records for services on the LAN but carefully not the remote services on the same domain. Using dig I can see that the local and remote DNS are working as expected. Seeing the error on DNS-01 challenged "could not determine zone for domain "_acme-challenge.local.example.com" I have also added an exception in my local DNS for _acme-challenge.local to point to cloudflare's DNS at 1.1.1.1. The dig command confirms this works as expected after restarting dnsmasq.

With the following Caddyfile:

*.local.example.com {
        tls {
                dns <dns provider plugin> <API token>
        }

        @ntfy host ntfy.local.example.com
        handle @ntfy {
                reverse_proxy ntfy
        }
}

Every DNS-01 challenge fails with "...solving challenges: presenting for challenge: could not determine zone for domain "_acme-challenge.local.example.com"...".

I think this should be possible, but I'm not clear what I'm missing so any help greatly appreciated. I'm just dipping my toes into self-hosting and actually getting practical use out of my Raspberry Pi that's been collecting dust for years.

 

Not affiliated I just find this useful and it exposed me to a few of the new features of Ruby 3.2 like not having to specify the value in kwargs if the variable is defined in scope, eg:

foo = 'bar'; call(foo:) is equivalent to foo = 'bar'; call(foo: foo)
