It’s already fantastic to have a third player in the GPU market, but the fact that they care about making their product work properly on Linux just makes it that much better. Way to go Intel!

In general yes, but the Firefox example doesn’t really apply. Addons are signed with a key Firefox controls, which is something you can get around if you want by using the developer version. In general, addon signing is beneficial. I don’t remember exactly how Mozilla screwed up, I wanna say they allowed a domain to expire or failed to update the key/cert when it expired. Outside of conspiracy theories, why you put quotes around accidentally? It was a hassle I’m sure they’d have rather avoided.

Also, Firefox is open source, you could patch it to have another behavior if you want. In other words, you have as much control as you choose to take.

I am on Mint, but I have a GPU accelerated VM running Windows 10 for gaming. It performs very well, but you run into the occasional game that detects VMs and will refuse to run.

Emphasis on “a bit,” it truly is a simple task to automate. I don’t think that anyone who has need for dynamic DNS should realistically have much trouble tackling that problem.

For anyone who might attempt this and isn’t sure how, here’s what you need. You need a service controlling your domain with API support for updating your DNS records - some have been mentioned here, I just use gandi.net. You need to enable the API for your account/domain. Figure out how to run the command you need against the API from a scripting language of your choice - there should be documentation for the API, and it should be a single API call. Figure out how to determine your server IP from within the same scripting language. Then, write your simple script that determines the right IP and updates the record if it doesn’t match.

All you need to do then is automate running the script - on Linux, a cron job or a systemd service and timer.

I don’t understand why there is so much defense for this in the comments. Amazon is a huge company with professional design teams, if part of their checkout process is even a little misleading in favor of an upsell it is definitely intentional.

Possible yes, but does that really seem like reality to you in this situation? It doesn’t to me.

I would recommend Mint for an easier transition, its what I jumped to from Ubuntu due to Canonical’s behavior and I’ve been happy. It is definitely simpler to use than Debian - which is not to say anything bad about Debian. It’s just less hand-holdy. I like it for servers.

I like it a lot, but it has a lot of bugs that drive me crazy. Particularly with the Jerboa app, but also on the web. That’s part of the early days for any software, though, especially one undergoing an explosion in its userbase. I’m happy to stick it out, and Lemmy is already a ~90% replacement for what reddit has been to me for the last 10+ years (feels weird to say that).

I’ve thought about it, but I prefer to install things from fdroid so I can get updates without having to check for it on their repository. If no alternatives pop up there soon I may just grab the apk.

There’s no game I don’t eventually get tired of, but here are three that are fantastic and I can recommend playing for hours and hours:

• FTL
• Slay the Spire
• Darkest Dungeon

All indie titles, none of them new, still fantastic and well worth it if you haven’t played any on this list. Also all challenging roguelikes, so be warned. =P
