I need to try working for a larger place have only worked for small ones so far

From what I hear it’s really nice actually having people who can help when you’re struggling lol

Oh god no not upper management lol we’re just in a small company

Worst part is he’s the sysadmin

Fair enough. Got a colleague who sudo nanos everything then wonders why he keeps getting permission denied errors later lol

Could you not just use root to give your user sudo? Seems like a pretty dumb restriction

Linux is free open and hackable, Lemmy is free open and hackable

Also 50% of the population of Lemmy seems to be diehard communists, open source is a similar idea to communism and Microsoft is a pretty good representation of late stage capitalism

Don’t arch users also hate the derivatives?

AppImage, build from source, or don’t bother

I like appimages because they’re just a single file/dir and I know where it is on my filesystem at a glance Could also probably add an appimage to bin pretty trivially

If something isn’t on nixpkgs and doesn’t have an appimage I generally just don’t use it lol gotta be the biggest package repo excepting maybe the aur

Just make sure you optimise and pregenerate the world

2 or 3 at a time normally but I’m fairly sure it could handle more depending on modpack

If you’re doing it you need to get absolutely all the optimisation mods you can for the version and most importantly pregenerate the world. Once you do those things with two or 3 on it’ll hover around 80% CPU usage

I will say with 4 players on Infernal Origins it struggles, I suspect because it turns up the mob spawn rate, adds custom mob AI and generates massive unlit caves everywhere for them to spawn in

On the ATM server we have 5 max upgraded apotheosis mob spawner grinders running 24/7 chunk loaded and the server’s still pretty snappy still

Pi 5 can run windows?

I’m running an all the mods 6 Minecraft server on my pi 5 with zero lag

No idea how video performance is but it’s got a dedicated GPU so supposedly better.

Booting from an NVME, official heat sink/fan and proper power supply

So the pi takes over dchp and assigns itsself as a DNS server? I assume if I want to assign static IPs I have to do it through the pi from then on?

Can’t use pihole because I’m running NixOS on my pi and the only way to run it is via docker container (which melts down my system, believe it’s trying to emulate x86 for some reason)

That might be the way to do it. I’m somewhat unfamiliar with networking, what does DHCP do?

I’m guessing I would need to get a modem too then, no? I’ve got the BT router that takes the DSL connection directly currently
