  • I have ubuntu on my server and I really need to switch it. It’s such a dick move when you apt install something and it opts for a snap. I just roll my eyes and groan when I think of having to back up EVERYTHING (music, media, dockers configs, compiled projects, random projects, etc) in order to switch the distro. I dont’ have the time to do it. It’s like nearly 2TB worth of stuff.


  • you know the Fast and the Furious movies? at least the original 2 or 3, those cars were all tricked out with neon lights, decals, nitros, custom exhaust, all that? most of those cars were Japanese cars that were heavily modified. Basically it was a derogetory term for modifying a piece of shit car to look good, Especally if it was a Japanese car. you slap a body kit on it, neon lights, slap in some bucket seats, switch out the exhaust, but you dont’ touch the engine. that’s a “Ricer” it’s not a good thing in that specific car culture.

    So for whatever reason someone at some point was modifying their Desktop Environment or Window Manager with neon borders and all that and decided to call it a Rice. You’re essentially modifying your OS without touching the “engine” so to speak. You’re just slapping a body kit, neon lights, some bucket seats etc onto your operating system.


  • if this is true it’s more pettiness from WWE. the company that has “never” viewed AEW as a threat clearly views AEW as a threat.

    Also if you let someone go due to contract violations you can’t continue to enforce said contract and then proceed to not pay them. There’s gotta be more to this story. Who the hell cares if Andrade is on AEW tv? out of ALL the people from WWE that have gone to AEW suddenly Andrade going BACK is the one they have issue with?

    There’s way more here we’re not being told.





  • I just use borg on a timer. I can set it on my various machines via a shell script or on my NixOS machine in the config. I have it backup stuff daily at the same time, have automatically remove old backups after a certain period of time, and I can easily mount it to whatever computer using an alias. I don’t think about it, just does it, easy peasy.






  • should be find depending on the chat server.

    I mean hell we used to do this way back in the day with IRC and Quake servers. it’s not hard at all and you don’t need to over think it. I mean it’s not like the thing is going to crash often so I’m not sure why you want to spread it out. I generally reboot my server like once a month and it takes all of 5min.

    Depending on the game and the type of chat server you’re looking to run I don’t think you need to over think it. Just start out with like a VPS, see how it goes, maybe switch it up to a dedicated. neither are expensive.
