I’m not able to find this answer in old posts. Can we install games from the Microsoft store? I just claimed a free copy of Fallout 76 on PC from Prime Gaming and the MS store is telling me I need the XBOX app which sounds really weird to me.
Indeed! I have a lot of SCSI disks, PCI cards and a few cables too! (also, SCSI is fun to pronounce… SKEUZY) but on this server, the RAID card doesn’t have any option to create a RAID in its BIOS, from what I can tell it needs a special software and I can’t find good tutorials or documentation out there :(
You’re missing the point, it’s not about using old hardware to daily drive them here, it’s for the fun and thrill of discovering ancient hardware, software and technologies! I’ll definitly need to see how much power this one is taking tho, but with only 1 out of 2 CPU I’d say around 200W for something this old
In my opinion, selfhosting is also about discovering how (and what) you could selfhost with old hardware and OS, just for fun and understanding a bit more about the history of hardware
But yeah for 24/7 services I have others way more modern servers and also an OrangePi
I would love to actually get my hand on some Sun gear, they look really cool! Or even some Itanium powered servers! This one is an IBM server that I got for free, and exploring the software to use it, is a bit of a challenge and it is pretty different from how you configure server nowadays. (Also, a floppy drive on a server, this is what I call awesome!)
For selfhosting real stuff, I do have modern gear and an OrangePi too!
SCSI is its own thing, to fix some issues with IDE iirc. The drive backplane is directly attached to the motherboard, well, more specifically to the RAID Card on the Motherboard, then the RAID card give the OS/Motherboard access to the configured RAID disk that you have created, but not to the disks themselves.
Do any of you have any software you can recommend for removing unwanted audio tracks and subtitles? Some of my shows and movies have multiple, and the Roku app does not follow the users set default language, leading to it playing the wrong track when autoplaying....
Doesn’t handbrake has an option to not re-encode the video ? But yeah totally agree, it’s not worth it to re-encode everything just to remove audio tracks.
I am running wg-easy and there is a way to passport protect the GUI used for creating Wireguard connections. Is there a way to prohibit connection to be made if not a password is entered? I don’t want someone to be able to access my VPN if for example my phone would be stolen unlocked. I don’t mind if it is client side only
I tried using Waydroid on Linux Mint (Edge) only to have it not work and realized that it requires Wayland, and Mint uses X11. So I used VirtualBox to install Fedora 40 Gnome which does use Wayland....
I am thinking of starting a hardcore world after my boyfriend told me about how he has a world he started since 2017. I’m just not sure if I want to play vanilla or a mod pack.
The thing that has always disturbed me about O_DIRECT is that the whole interface is just stupid, and was probably designed by a deranged monkey on some serious mind-controlling substances [*]....
This is the most “fuck this i’ll make my own” thing i’ve read in a while. I like this! I hope you’ll be able to achieve your goal of a really lightweigh DE on wayland!

Bombs Away (bombsaway.fallaciousreasoning.nz)
A simple physics game I wrote
I have a IBM eServer xSeries 346, does anyone has experience with the ServeRaid-7k, to create a RAID array? Also, you can ask me anything about this 2005 beast! (lemmy.world)

Wireguard in docker, no way of password authentication?
