  • Probably want to stop using Booklore...

    Jump

  • I don't have the full details, but I saw some mentions in that Booklore reddit thread about CWA's dev ignoring major issues in favor of new features and such, something like that. I admittedly didn't really do much research into that nor the tool itself, but Komga's Kobo support seems better, so I just went with it.

  • I literally just got this all set up and was about to hook up my wife's kobo to it, good timing for this to come out so I don't waste any more of our time with this slop. What a shitshow.

    I just spun up Komga instead last night (I was going to set up CWA but I've heard sketchy things about their lead dev that don't leave me optimistic). Very easy to get up and running, pretty basic but it seems to work well and does exactly what it needs to do. I was a bit hesitant since it seemed geared toward comics, but it's handling regular ebooks just fine.

  • NEW POLL: Majority of Americans Believe Trump Launched Iran War to Cover Up Epstein Scandal

    Jump

  • This "war" is literally the most American/Israeli thing ever and somehow that means it's simply a distraction from something else. Two imperialist, fascist regimes committing blatant war crimes to spread their own power unchecked by the rest of the world is nothing new.

    Like frankly the Epstein files at this point are just like the Panama papers years ago - from everything that has been released, we KNOW shit is absolutely fucked, and we KNOW absolutely nothing is going to come of it because those in power literally do not care. At this point anyone clamoring "release the files" needs a reality check - in a sane world, what we've seen of this already would have been far more than enough to put these people in the ground ages ago. Even if the full thing comes out, what's going to come of it? Absolutely goddamn nothing.

    The only things related here are the people behind both. Nothing is a fucking "distraction", this is just capitalism at work, same as its ever been.

  • Me Buying A Phone From Google Solely Because I Can Put GrapheneOS On It

    Jump

  • It's why I made sure to get my newest phone used, but that comes with the risk of getting a Verizon model (in the US) which can't be bootloader unlocked. Had to return the first one I got off eBay for that reason, and the second one I made sure to ask the seller where they initially got it from.

  • I've been mostly happy with SearXNG but customization is a pain point of it for sure, so this looks really promising. Definitely gonna be keeping an eye on this one

  • CachyOS Handheld Edition Switches To Wayland, CachyOS Installer Drops Bcachefs

    Jump

  • Maybe I just got unlucky but running an update today absolutely borked my Steam Deck running this build. Been running it smooth for a few months now, but after updating today I couldn't launch anything in game mode, proton or native. Worked fine in desktop mode, and if I let things sit for 5+ minutes in game mode they'd eventually launch sometimes. Spent a few hours trying to fix it until I just said fuck it, wiped the thing, and went back to SteamOS.

    I swear by CachyOS for my desktop, but the handheld edition has given me more trouble than is worth, at least on the deck.

    Edit: Opted for a fresh install before totally giving up and it seems to be fine now. Very bizarre but that's just how it goes sometimes

    Edit edit: Nope, happening again. Seemed to work out of the box, but after customizing a bit and installing a bunch of junk in desktop mode, it seems to be doing the exact same thing again. Figured it might be Decky Loader, but it still keeps happening with Decky uninstalled (tested before the wipe too). No idea, might see if I can try a different gamescope-session package

    Triple edit: Figured it out. The new gamescope session package doesn't play nice with Steam's Background Recording feature. Turning recording off completely fixed this for the time being.

  • Keycloak or alternative?

    Jump

  • It's kind of funny, I initially tried Authentik and ran into issues getting it working, so I went with Authelia instead, but eventually went back to try Authentik again because I wanted to customize the CSS and felt I was outgrowing Authelia, and it just worked. Not sure what I was doing wrong the first time, but oh well.

    I will say though the latest release has a major bug where worker instances are eating up db connections to the point where the entire thing crashes, so while I've generally been happy with it, definitely need to do some careful research before blindly upgrading.

  • How does mullvad compare to ther VPNs?

    Jump

  • They don't offer port forwarding so it sucks for seeding. It works but it severely limits the clients you can seed to.

  • What's your self-hosting success of the week?

  • Absolutely nightmare to set up, especially with OIDC, but once it was finally up it was such a night and day difference from Nextcloud. Worth setting up for sure

  • Definitely time to find an alternative. What the actual fuck is this

  • Marathon released on Steam [Very Positive review] [kernel anticheat] [SteamDeck unsupported]

    Jump

  • After how badly Bungie botched D2 pvp over the years in every aspect, from the sandbox to the matchmaking, and continued to double down on those decisions instead of changing course, I have zero faith in them to keep a pvp-only game alive for very long. Can't wait to see it become a FOMO-ridden mess with half the game taken away.

    On top of that, they're using the same rootkit anticheat that barely even works for D2. And on top of that, Battleye has stated themselves that Linux support is a very simple opt-in for developers, yet they refuse to do so for either game in 2026. While I have a lot of issues with Arc Raiders (mostly their genAI usage), at least they enabled Battleye's Linux support with zero issues.

    Even if I could play it this is a hard pass. Their management and c-suite can rot. Such a waste because the actual devs clearly have skill and talent and can make cool shit, they've proven this time and time again, but Bungie management is actually abusive, both to their employees and the players.

  • Oh absolutely, but we know what happens with mixed feedback in this industry today

  • Highguard will permanently shut down on March 12th.

    Jump

  • Honestly it's the same thing with Concord, and it's part of why it sucks to hear a lot of shit talk toward the devs of these games. Anyone who's actually tried either game could tell the dev teams really did put their all into it and wanted to make something interesting and fun, but you can feel the c-suite decisions and live service bullshit weighing them down. Like if the game isn't an instant hit, it gets shut down, and all that work thrown away. It really fucking sucks for the folks who actually put the work in.

    I feel like the exact same thing's gonna happen with Marathon too. Playtest this week was met with pretty mixed results, people either loved it or hated it. The actual devs are incredible, and having spent far too much time with D2 before dropping it, I've gotten to know a few folks on the team and can really vouch for them. But I can't vouch for their management whatsoever, and they're the reason I dropped that game entirely and will never touch another Bungie game. I have zero faith in Bungie management keeping this one alive.

  • If you have a VPS, consider setting up either Headscale or Netbird if you don't want to use any of Tailscale's built-in auth methods (with all necessary security precautions taken of course). If that's not an option I'd suggest going back to Wireguard for sure.

  • Linux gamers: Do you ever occasionally shut down your PC?

  • Oh yeah, it's probably an Nvidia thing isn't it. Yeah sometimes swapping works, though overall it's just not consistent enough to bother with sleep.

  • Linux gamers: Do you ever occasionally shut down your PC?

    Jump

  • Probably something funky on my end but my CachyOS machine struggles to wake up from sleep mode. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it takes 5+ minutes on a black screen, sometimes it just never comes on. Regardless, I use an elgato stream deck (I like my funny buttons + dials and it powers my XLR mic), and it flat out doesn't turn back on after sleep.

    This thing is up and running in like a minute tops from a cold boot anyway so I usually just run an update and full shut down every night.
