Lower Decks Season 5 Official Trailer!
  • We live in a blessed time, with new high quality Star Trek like LD and SNW. Havent caught Prodigy, but also heard its good.

    It's too bad this is the last season of LD, but at least they're going out on a strong note!

  • Steam Deck (LCD: the non-OLED) are on sale.
  • I was thinking about grabbing one revently and was deciding between the OLED 512gb and 1tb. Is replacing the SSD is fairly easy?

    Edit: I went and checked out the iFixit page for the replacement. It doesnt look difficult but I'd probably just get the 1tb model and be done with it.

  • Are you on the new GigaHub? You can get around it, but you need to purchase a specific SPON ... Module? Adapter? I don't know the right term. You can plug the fiber right into that and then plug the SPON into a SPF(+?) port on your router or use a media adapter for RJ45.

    There's a discord (yes, I know, sorry. Its the only place I know to discuss this) for doing this with Bell's equipment. Theres a FAQ there that will find the exact SPON you need based on your service level and where you are in the country. Send me a message if you're interested in the Discord link.

    Long story short, its way bigger of a hassle than it should be, and fuck Bell. As soon as Tek Savvy can resell their fiber lines, I'm switching back.

    Save us CTRC, you're our only hope.

  • Feature Request: Block Community from 'All' feed Edit: Not needed! Already able to do this.

    In the context menu on a given post, would it be possible to add an option to block that community (or user) directly?

    As it stands now, I'd have to go to that community and then block it from there, unless I'm missing something.

    Edit: Disregard. It's already in the software. Long press on the community name let's you block.

    Protectli FW6B

    I'm using a Protectli FW6B as my opnsense firewall/router. I'm upgrading my internet service to 1.5 GB fiber and I'm not sure what to do with this device once I do. I could continue using it as my router (I guess put it on the LAN side of the supplied Bell "Gigahub" router/WiFi ap/whatever the fiber equivalent of a modem is?) but then I lose out on 1/3 of my bandwidth.

    I already have a homebuilt NAS running truenas with a bunch of services - I guess I could move all those services from truenas onto the Protectli and keep the NAS solely as a storage system?

    Either that or just sell it to recupe the costs somewhat. I'm already considering selling my ruckus 510s because the new router comes with WiFi 6. If I did that, I'd probably look to sell the 2x ruckus r510 aps I have setup too.

    Is there another option I'm missing?

    RHEL and Fedora for home use

    I see a lot of posts about Redhat for putting their code base behind a paywall. I've only been using Linux as my main desktop OS for a couple of years now. Someone recommended Fedora at the time, and I've been happy with it. I had previously tried PopOS, Mint, and Ubuntu, but none of them convinced me to switch from Windows full time until I tried again with Fedora.

    How will what Redhat is doing affect Fedora for the home user? Should I start considering something else?

    Edit: thanks for all of the responses! Sticking with fedora for now it is.
