  • Alternative to Google Photos with similar UI for local use

    Jump

  • I ran Nextcloud for image hosting and loading images, even from the same network, performance is atrocious. It takes several minutes to play back an HD shot video clip. I've hosted it via snap, a docker image, and directly on the OS with similar results. Even worse, the server can easily go down if a plugin acts up or a Nextcloud update can take down the database. This was my experience at least which spurred me to look for alternatives like OP.

  • Have you tried Immich? It has a very similar feel to Google Photos but with the advantage of owning your storage.

  • Xonotic was awesome. Warsow (Warfork now) was super fun back in the day. There were legit tournaments that went on with twitch sportscaster calling the play by play on 1v1 tourneys. Not sure how big the player scene is these days.

  • Any of the "Pathfinder Adventure Card Game" base sets will do, ie "Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Skull & Shackles Base Set" or "Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Ride of the Runelords". They come in a big square box and if you enjoy it you can expand gameplay with the smaller "Expansion Packs" which add more items/monsters/missions to the story.

  • I personally had good experience playing the Pathfinder card game with my partner. You choose from one of the characters' decks, taking on their unique items/stats then each game session you play lasts maybe half an hour to an hour. You may find loot along the way which your character keeps for the game next session. Your characters level up along the way, allow you to do things like, say, roll a D6 on attack instead of a D4. Of course the monsters get more difficult along the way as well. There's a simple overworld map and story line to follow so you can track your progress along the way.

    There's also a pen and paper version of Pathfinder which I think makes a gentle introduction into the DnD world for those looking to explore that genre but don't necessarily want to dive in head first.

  • How can I convert my music?

    Jump

  • On Windows, nothing beats foobar for playback, tagging, and conversion support. I use Deadbeef which is like the Foobar of Linux. It has a similar user interface and a playlist format conversion tool as well. VLC also converted audio if I remember correctly?

  • Think about it though. When people say they want to "code AI" what they typically mean is they want to play with prompts and waste electricity on garbage models, not actually write any of the underlying models that power AI.

  • How do you keep track of all apps you install and their configurations?

    Jump

  • NixOS stores a snapshot of your OS and all the app configs in an OS config folder for you. Helpful for instant system recovery or deploying the setup to new hardware.
