EDIT: Was recommeded one, will report back if it works well for me, too!
Any recommendations for x86 mini-pc's with 2 (or more) Ethernet ports (ideally 2.5G)?
Bonus points for availability in EU.
My "usual" product only has gigabit ports.

Have a mini-PC sitting on my desk, and the ick factor is off the charts. I want to toss this Windows abomination into the river. 😅

Tonight's mission: boldly stream #STO from my #Linux powered PC! Prepare for warp speed, questionable tactical decisions, and probably me getting blown up by a Borg cube. Beam aboard the live stream! #StarTrekOnline

People don't want systemd on their PC
I would feel honoured to have systemd on my phone

@… Honestly? I find OnlyOffice much prettier lol
I've tried LO a few of times over the years, but it just doesn't look quite right on Windows.
I keep both sets of apps on my PC anyway, since my MS Office subscription ended a year after I finished school, and I want the most coverage in terms of feature parity.
Besides aesthetics, I also like how…

Itching to get a little NUC or something that can handle jellyfin 4K files. Right now, I have a lab PC that's on its last leg. I don't do any transcoding, just direct play on my other beefier PC. 4K files have been fine but the poor lab PC crashes every 4 hours.
Anyone have any ideas?

Amazon: “Spawn a process and handle a request in 0.1s.”
Google: “Spin up a 7-node cluster capable of handling workloads in 1 minute.”
A tiny PC on my desk: “100,000 hits per day? Sure, whatever m8. No probs.”
Microsoft: “You want a Kubernetes cluster? Hmmm… is Tuesday OK?”
My 1-node cluster has been “creating” for the last 3 hours with no updates.
I think it’s time for the weekend.

I wanted to replace my home PC with my laptop for my daily tasks, but for some reason the old ViewSonic monitor is incompatible. It doesn't show up on the hdmi connections when I list them with xrandr and, what's worse, it's the same with all other laptops, no matter if they run Windows or GNU/Linux.
In the end, after testing it on 3 laptops and a minipc, it only works connected to my current PC.
Has anyone seen anything similar? 🤨

Anyone run Android apps on a PC - either under qemu or directly? I need access to wifi though in the guest and maybe camera.
(I want to try Samsung's smartthings app for configuring my washer but my phone is too ancient)

Saw a computer (desktop tower PC) on the side of the road today and stopped to see if there were any useful parts I could pull from it because I thought it would be hilarious to have parts in my NAS from a literal garbage PC on the side of the road.

I need your help. It's surprisingly hard to find a PC game (or port/emulation) that ticks the following boxes:
- generally easy, or with easy difficulty setting
- mostly linear, not open world
- story-driven
- ideally, controller support
You know what I mean? I'm looking for something relaxing for when my brain is exhausted where I don't have to make too many decisions.

02:31—Good Night #Fediverse! 😴💤
I just made myself a new banner for myself, using (mostly) open source software. The only exception was that I used a random website to add an outline to my Rudolf Rocker image, I was too lazy to get out of bed and use GIMP on my PC for that step. For everything else, I used this tool from GitHub: 

One my favorite Windows 10/11 keyboard shortcuts remains Win-H for "voice typing" or voice-to-text. Easy to access, accurate & built-in the OS.
Here's the list of special phrases to say for punctuation & voice commands:

One of the first things I wanna do when I go back to Linux on my main PC (preferably with Vanilla OS 2) is to try and get NightRiderz working https://nightriderz.world/

My full 8 minute talk on YouTube:

God damn it, why does Apple make it so hard to get files off the damn device!!!
I have some old procreate files from an old ipad that needs fixed and it's so frustrating I can't just plug it in, open a folder, and paste it into my PC. No, I have to use their dumb Apple devices app that crashes.

I just played my first couple of matches in Helldivers 2 (on PC), and it was a lot of fun! We were led by a guy who plays on PlayStation, and crossplay worked really well. No issues, no problems with voice chat. Everyone I met was really friendly.
#Helldivers2 #SteamSale

Fuck, my PC really really doesn't post any more.
I have no replacement motherboard or CPU to test :(

My nephew never wants to use Windows 11 in the future. Never! He only wants Windows 10 on his gaming PC. I said maybe he can get Steam OS on a desktop like he has on the Steamdeck.

I was trying Greenlight for streaming my Xbox console games on Bazzite Linux, and I noticed there's still hope for Microsoft 🧐 🥰 🥳 🎮

Just replaced CMOS battery on my desktop. I am hoping this would improve POST time by a few seconds.
To be fair this PC (although just sat on the attic for 80% of its time) is 8 years now so I guess it was time to replace it.

After some drilling and bending i finally got my first inverted pc case)
It's based on a old Deepcool case

Currently running the ultimate queer-autistic mental math: do I get up now for a Coke, or do I turn on my PC first and then embark on the sacred quest for caffeine?
Welcome to my rainbow-brained world, where every decision involves calculating the exact number of steps, seconds, and spoons required. 🏳️‍🌈🤓✨

With all excitement and bling floating around I am enjoying my time today on GhostBSD Mate edition. Well rounded, everything works ootb, quiet styling (I've turned on a Dracula theme of course ;-).
Plus'es: samba , VLC, sound, LibreOffice, generic feel, the Stations (backup, software), sudo (I prefer doas, but newcomers will recognize sudo), install and go.
BSD generic: volume settings (mixer pcm etc), wifi (on a 2018 mini pc with Ryzen 2500U, seriously?) and of course BT are generic issues. Can be solved, but still.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that GhostBSD totally takes care of graphics drivers, dbus et al. I mean DisplayPort at 185hz ootb, great!
All in all a nice one 👍🏻, recommended!

I got tired of trying to find inverted pc cases in our country. The only ones are from bequiet and they are either too big or too expensive (if not the size and stock problem id buy the black 802).
Just now i noticed that the front panel on my old deepcool matrix 55 is almost reversible (minus the middle pins), why not try and reverse it?)
