  • So you want to be able to stream Gimp and have a shared drive with your PC’s sheets, it needs to be open source and with no limitations?

    I’d just do gimp+Discord+google docs, but if you want it to be open source and all-in-one then go checkout Nextcloud. I think that’s as free as you get, if even foundry is too limiting.








  • According to this sub? Yup, most definitely! According to my own opinion? As long as you use it responsibly and limited to the scope of LLM (scope, as in: whatever one would usually use a Random Text Generator for, aka. inspiration, non-critical parsing, and mass spam attacks), then go ahead.

    This sub appears to be barking up the wrong tree most of the time anyway (just look at the name), so I wouldn’t value anything that is posted here too high, ironically.


  • Yup, bought a bunch of TP-Link mesh towers. Turns out that they take down the whole WiFi when the main node looses internet connection. That’s just not acceptable, I might have an unstable internet connection but still want access to my local devices, such as my streaming server or router.

    On that node, does anyone know of a brand of mesh towers that can survive unstable/no internet connections and don’t use custom firmware? DD-WRT works just fine, but I’m not gonna flash custom firmware onto friends’ devices.


  • I’m not entirely sure how “… don’t need anything near as memory efficient as Alpine” became “Debian is obviously superior to Alpine”.

    … I was referencing systemd and familiarity of use in regard to OP. Debian just happened to be mentioned, it comes per default with systemd, and it’s my personal first choice for servers. Though, taking context into account, OP did say they originally came from Ubuntu and made it sound like they were trying to optimize their system since it “only” had 4(8)GB memory in total.

    I do believe Debian with systemd is more similar to Ubuntu than Alpine is to Ubuntu. My point was not so much about Debian vs Alpine in general as it was specific to efficiency in regard to memory usage, with the sole reason to change to Alpine over Debian (or any OS which uses systemd, really) purely for memory savings being rather weak when systemd only uses some <50MB in memory, the computer has 4GB+ of it, and the user already is familiar with Debian-based flavors which use systemd.

    So no, Debian is obviously not “obviously superior to Alpine”, just as systemd isn’t too heavy to run on computers with 4GB of RAM - unless you’re trying to push the computer to its limits.

    Huh? I don’t think you need anything near as memory efficient as Alpine for something which has 4GB of RAM, unless you’re doing it for the sole purpose of pushing the machine and yourself to the limit.

    I only ever consider dropping Debian and/or Systemd when going below 512MB RAM. I’ve run most of my public-facing homelab stuff on a 1GB VPS till recently, including multiple webservers such as FoundryVTT, and Docker containers such as a Wireguard server, Jenkins, Searxng, etc… It rarely used more than ~60% of the RAM, but I obviously couldn’t run Immich or any heavy services on it.




  • That’s weird. I just tested it with a friend (I’m on Endeavour, she’s on Win11, the server is VPS with Debian running the newest Synapse and Element-web). Audio works fine both ways with no mic config required, streaming is a little laggy when viewing the screen and stream next to each other, but that’s all.

    EDIT: No, you’re right. Audio within streams seem to fail. I remember Discord having the same problem (hence why I use Vesktop), but if Windows also suffers this shortcoming? I’m pretty sure I remember it working a month ago, so there should be a bug report in Synapse (or element).





  • “Is this ‘Critical Error’ the reason for the crash, or just another ill-labeled exception?”

    I love WINE and it’s forks, but man, how can any program produce so many errors during optimal operation? (A rhetorical question, as I believe we all know the tragicomedic reason being Microsoft)
