  • Gaming on linux is not that bad today. Look at valve’s success with the steamdeck. All past and present issues are because developers were aiming to a different platform, with proprietary tooling.

    In meme terms, is like Fender made the guitars for people with different hands. You can’t play, but it’s their fault.













  • Objection! Hehe… No, wait. Really, I see a problem…

    If registration are closed, mods would be exclusively from outside. And, since reports are not federated, this communities would be prone to difficulties for moderation. Unless reports are correctly federated, I don’t think this is a good idea. And, even if you were to open registrations only for mods, we would have only moved the inconvenience to this (who wants to have so many accounts, really?)

    There’s also the problem with centralization of domain names under you. I don’t know you, and perhaps you’re well intended… So, it’s fine for the most part, let’s just assume that’s okay. Now, what happens if you had an accident or decided to go live in a farm? Without domain name renewals, etc. all communities would be in trouble. There’s centralization in the shape of a single point of failure.

    I can’t see this happening even if the domain names are cool.

    And, leaving disadvantages aside. What’s the point on this? Can you name any advantage?? I agree that it would be more ordered and I like that. But it’s quite subjective, and hardly anything huge to really break the inertia or status quo of things as they’re now…

    Thanks for the intentions. Let’s focus on some new ideas, they’ll come…











  • Create a user, and then a systemd unit for it, under ~/.config/systemd/user/ with contents like these:

    [Unit]
    Description=Caddy web server
    After=network.target
    
    [Service]
    ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/caddy run --config /path/to/Caddyfile --envfile /path/to/Envfile
    ExecReload=/usr/local/bin/caddy reload --config /path/to/Caddyfile --envfile /path/to/Envfile
    Restart=on-failure
    User=caddy
    Group=caddy
    
    [Install]
    WantedBy=default.target
    

    Adjust the paths in the arguments. It will require systemctl daemon-reload for such unit to be available for enabling and starting it…
