Kind of an odd suggestion, and I know this might not work if you’re someone who wants to place themselves in the story, but if you’re looking for healthier, better adjusted men in literature, try some queer or gay romance. Not sure exactly your desired age/reading level, but Red, White, and Royal Blue is cute, and while socio economic status makes the main character slightly less relatable, it’s still a nice read. There’s plenty of other excellent queer romance that has well written men. If you also enjoy fantasy and political intrigue, Priory of the Orange Tree has excellent world building and a few romance subplots I think are very sweet.
EDIT: Somehow missed the “nerdier” part. Let me do some library diving and give more accurate suggestions
Just installed Syncthing on my Scale server. It looks like it doesn’t have users but rather folder IDs that are then used to sync devices. One of the cool features of Nextcloud is the ability to share files with other users. Can this be done with Syncthing?
Yeah, by my understanding this is by design. However, there’s nothing stopping you from running multiple instances for each user account on a computer, assuming you are running Linux and are using the Syncthing CLI. Probably can’t do that on windows though.
I use nextcloud cookbook but I would really love another or a federated alternative. It does its job but I don’t think other people I know would use it.
Could you elaborate on “move to obsidian”? I’m already storing some recipes in my vault, but I would be interested in further features like shopping list generation and other filtering options.
Yeah, I’d also generally prefer to use my front matter for my global tagging and sorting so I can keep my templating consistent. I’m not explicitly opposed to adding more, but in an ideal world I’d keep my front matter pretty trim.
I’ll do some experiments of my own with data view and such to see if I can get some good functionality.
For some reason I can only find stock images of this pill case. I have it on good authority it makes a satisfying clicking noise and my gay, neurodivergent ass wants one....
Yes? I believe so, but I also take two different shaped pills, both twice a day. I’d be happy with a disk for each or a disk that only does 1 week and has an opening that provides pills in pairs. Or something similar.
Give me a bit to go dig out my calipers and I’ll get you some dimensions!
Presumably you can spin it more the 360 degrees so the opening could be repositioned over already empty slots, but that doesn’t really count as “refillable” given how slow of a process that would be.
I used to use Hamachi on Windows to play “local LAN” games with my friends, has anyone tried using Tailscale for this purpose? As far as I know it should work fine, but I’m not sure and I don’t have any friends to try it out with, but it makes me curious.
Yes absolutely. Back in the day I used Hamachi for Minecraft servers, now I run a server with offline mode enabled through Tailscale with zero fear of anyone but my friends accessing it.
It’s the first one I encountered, so I’m not sure. The 2 times I’ve rebooted since I’ve gotten the simple hyprland glowing logo one. Kinda bummed I’m not getting the cute ones anymore :(
So I’ve been using Rustdesk with a self hosted server for business and personal use now for some time. However, it is definitely the sketchiest foss software I’ve used. It seems to be based in China but the developers keep lying and saying its in Singapore....
I’ve found using software meant for gaming often works better for this application. My personal choice is moonlight. I run it behind Tailscale so my connections never leave my devices. Even over cellular it’s snappy enough for non gaming tasks, and if I need to check on my dailies in a game or something similar, it handles that much better than any Remote Desktop product. I messed around with rust desk and could never get it quite working and didn’t feel comfortable using the public servers at the time. So I swapped to moonlight and it serves me well.
Games on Whales is a containerized version of moonlight that I struggled to get working as well, but I thinks that’s because I’m a docker beginner.
As of now I ran moonlight on Windows, so I might not be able to help a ton. I just started my own Arch (by the way) install that I plan to revisit getting moonlight running on, but I’m not even at a desktop environment yet.
There is actually a little collection of chairs on my art wall. They are various Eames chairs. Designed by a somewhat famous couple, Ray and Charles Eames.
Loool, that’s hardware level. Comes with the monitor. I keep it on when drawing mostly and just general awareness of the middle of my screen is nice. In most games it honestly isn’t that great because it’s pretty big. Covers up the reticle’s of a lot of games.
I have a really hard time seriously recommending it, but The Spirit Bares it’s Teeth is a very good book, though I must give a massive content and trigger warning with it. It holds nothing back and even comes with a lengthy content warning at the beginning I suggest you read and take some time to consider continuing. As a trans and autistic person, I find the main character to be written so well, and the book does not at all feel like an author cashing in on trauma porn. Instead the book feels very honest to the experience people like the main character would have had during the time period and to some extent even today.

Syncthing ... where are the users?
Just installed Syncthing on my Scale server. It looks like it doesn’t have users but rather folder IDs that are then used to sync devices. One of the cool features of Nextcloud is the ability to share files with other users. Can this be done with Syncthing?
