Fun fact, textfiles is Jason Scott's site. He's the head archivist at internet archive. Always doing cool stuff if youre bored and have some time to blow this morning.

what are some great YouTube channels worth checking out? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I've been a fan of Continue? for over a decade. Just a weekly let's play series that's kept the spirit of the early 2010 gaming YouTube alive.

Is there a business in your town, which you are 100% sure is a front? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Funny part is the tax lady who refused to do their taxes was a confirmation sponsor of one of his grandkids.

There's a legitimate pizza place around me that's been around for ~50 years. My mom went to school with the owners children and when she was in high school their dad had a small stint in jail for tax evasion and unregistered and hot guns. Apparently he was importing a lot of guns from Italy and one day a shipment got caught. About 10 years ago, my mom became friends with someone who was hired to do their taxes. She didn't give any details, but she told us the numbers really didn't add up and she had to drop them as a client their first year due to ethical reasons.

The thing is the pizza is really good and kind of an institution in my town. I wouldn't say it is strictly a front, but money does move through it. The family also owns a lot of small strip malls in the tri county area and some historical properties as well.

Oh and one of the sons married one of their 2nd/3rd cousins from Italy in the 90s. The rumor was it was just to help her get citizenship but they are still married to this day and it's kinda weird.

Snagged an 840 G6 for a little more than 100 and it's working fine. Had the company send me a new touchpad and there hasn't been an issue since

Chiaki not recognizing PS5 dual sense input (lemmy.world)
 

I just tried to set up Chiaki on mxlinux and ran into issues rebinding the controls to my dual sense. I am running the appimage or the most recent Chiaki and was able to connect to my PS5. When trying to rebind the controls from KB it was not recognizing any inputs from my controller. I made sure I had libsdl up to date and checked a few games on steam and the controller seems to be working there. I found a workaround using a program to bind your controller buttons to key input, but that seems like a bad way to go about it limiting the sticks and triggers to only on/off.

Would it be easier to just use wine or lutris to run the standard PS remote program?

Keep Oracle from deleteing free tier account/vps? (lemmy.world)

I'm looking to host my own website and mess around with some services but my current home server is already pushed to the max. Planning on getting some thin clients for proxmox when I have some more money, but for now I wanted to mess around on Oracles free tier to test some stuff. I heard they will randomly delete accounts / free cloud vps and was wondering if there was a way to mitigate this. Some post I've seen seems to be tied to not having a CC on file with them so after 30 days or so when it "charges" your account and there is no payment option, the vps will get deleted. Does anyone have experience dealing with this? I wouldn't mind adding a card to the account as long as I won't wake up to a huge bill one day because I went over the limit.

What sites have issues with Firefox? I've been using firefox exclusively since 06 besides trying chrome for 2009-2010 and never had any issues. Not saying they don't exist but it seems like a very small amount that won't function at all.

Was just singing Crabs by weebl at work today. Hope they're doing fine.

Does Star Wars Kid still retain any value? in c/antiquememesroadshow@lemmy.world

The movie Tusk has a small part where the main character went to interview their universe's star wars kid. Made the whole thing a little less fun.

What are things you would rather host on a VPS as opposed to a local machine? (lemmy.world)
 

Hey, I was thinking about getting a VPS and hosting my own single user Lemmy instance. I am trying to think of other things to host. I already have some old hardware running unRAID with Plex, the *arrs, Kavita and home assistant. This is pushing my hardware to the limit but I still want to mess around with some self hosted things. Is there anything you would rather host on a rented server as opposed to a server sitting at your home?
