I see friends, family, strangers, subconsciously go for their phones during thoughtless times daily. Have a moment to think... Scroll. Showering with their phone propped up watching a video. First wake up and spend an hour or two frying the mind.

It has gotten so bad in my friend group and close family I swear they could not function emotionally without consuming content. When you bring it up or any negative about it. Anger, distasteful emotions. How do you talk, convince, gain real traction towards slowing or decreasing time spent. Once or twice a day could be ok. These people do it for sometimes hours daily. It's sickening. Advice?

Hey everyone just a reminder. Happy Halloween but it's a much more important day than Halloween. It's National Deflock day. You know what that means. Get your costumes on! Stay safe. Leave the phones and electronics at home.

I like community builders and games that I can keep a world for years and grow, watch it evolve. I enjoy Rimworld. ARK evolved series is good.

Bonus if it's multiplayer capable LAN and not online.

Oxygen not included is nice but mentally taxing sometimes. I prefer laid back chill games with economy and farming. 2d or 3d doesn't matter. I don't mind trying indie games. Survival based games are nice. I'm not super pick and choose.

Give me your greatest joy in game form. I've heard Stardew Valley is good. I tried it, reminds me of a gameboy game. I could not get into the game. My character kept falling asleep like 14 times in a day.

The autofill prompt in browsers like librewolf. Or should you save passwords with a manager? I like the aspect of autofilling passwords and certain data.

Seriously every other post, every sub seems like nothing but politics. It's so boring and disgusting. What made reddit great at one time was the diversity of genres and depth. Lemmy is very shallow and politically motivated it seems. I have been here since the Reddit exodus. It's always been this way.

Do different Lemmy servers have different content?

Are certain severs curated?

Where do I find the depth and deep subject matter.

I want to go curved ideally. I really like the LG 45 inch models the oleds their 240hz. I can shop online or local. I think larger is better but I also cannot afford something outrageous . I won't post a budget as I'm very deal focused and can make moves to get the right purchase. I won't spend over 1000 USD and I will likely score the item half price or hunt until I get a unicorn deal.

For reference I've gamed on 60hz TV my entire life. Now I game on a 86inch tv at 120hz input lag is awful, the screen is awesome but generally it's 4k 60 turned down to 1080p 120hz. But I'm looking to up my refresh and response time to something good for battlefield 6.

I have never gamed outside of 1080p. I have no real idea other than to get an OLED and atleast 240hz prefer higher.

Any recommendations or advice? Sorry English is not my best.

I have tested a lot of atomic and traditional distributions lately. Tons of desktop environments strictly for fun and branching out. Having a 1 2 3 backup strategy and not just having it in place, but being able to restore your backup in a timely manner to keep continuity is paramount. You can list infinite reasons why.

Why do atomic distros which are supposed to me more stable, superior to some degree immutable environments lack good backup options? You can hack things together and there are somewhat installable tools. Like timeshift or etc etc. But it seems they place a lot more emphasis on rolling back poor updates in the event than total system backups.

By default it you should have true backups then layer in rollbacks. Not the other way around. Am I missing something?

I have been tossing around the idea of a little distro hopping. I'm an avid mint fan. It was my first jump from windows. I became quite familiar with mint but felt the want to branch out and went down the rabbit hole (oh my lanta). I like stability and cleanliness. Security by default. Least mental load possible long-term.

I'm currently testing out NIXos. Next will be VanillaOS, 3rd will be Fedora Silverblue. Anyone have good recommendations? Easy backups, stability, security first posture, least maintenance and memory load. I hate getting scattered in symlinks, scripts, and filesystem placing.

I've tried going full custom Linux mint. But app armour and Firejail constantly conflict or require manual updating and tweaking to keep up to date with app installs, or general life cycle updates.

The most intriguing aspect if NIXos was that basically the entire configurable system was confined to two files. Infinitely reproducable. I tend to swap laptops or hardware relatively often being on the go or getting good tech deals. Having your entire system in two files essentially is awesome.

What are some pros and cons of different distros? What do you daily drive as a power user? Give me your thoughts and recommendations! Thanks.

The tool Lynis is an auditing tool used to audit Unix systems. Is it still relevant? Worth using?

It used to be fairly widely used years ago. Is it still worth its salt or are there other better options? Do you guys think it's needed at all with common sense now days.
