Hi all,

So recently my immediate family had expressed interest in getting some kind of photo share platform for us to share vacation photos more easily. We've done a Dropbox with extended family years ago, but that sucked to hard that it even managed to put my non-techy family off of doing that again.

So what are some ideas you all can think of? I've seen Immich mentioned around here before, but I've honestly never set up even a real homelab or sever before, so that's a bit daunting. Their google photos-esque UI is a bit plus as everyone but me uses that.

It wouldn't need to be open to the internet, local WiFi would work as well really just need to be able to share photos between our phones more easily once we get back from a trip. I've got an older laptop with like 8GB RAM that I could run the server off of.

Sorry if this is really vague. I've just been given instructions to "find out what's out there" by my non-techy family and I figured you all here would have a better idea of my options. Thanks!

Hi all. My Samsung S20 finally gave out after 6 years and I needed a new phone, so I got a Pixel 9 Pro with GrapheneOS! It's been a blast learning all of the various new features I haven't had access to. What are some "newer" things that you have been taking advantage of?

Finally managed to get my hands on my dream guitar. Upgrading from a 7 to an 8 string is a bit weird but easier than a 6 to a 7. Some specs for those interested:

• Skeversen Shoggie 8
• 26-28" 5-piece pau ferro & wenge neck, flame maple fretboard
• European ash body, flame maple top wood
• Bare Knuckle Juggernaut in the Bridge, BKP Cold Sweat in the Neck
• Skervesen's "World Domination Mod" AKA coil split and "acoustic" switch

I've been looking to upgrade to something like 64gb of RAM however I'm still using DDR4. So future-proofing to a new motherboard and CPU with DDR5 sounds like a logical plan. However I'm not even sure if that would be worth it. I figure you guys would have a better idea of what I should look at upgrading.

CPU: Intel i7-8700k

Motherboard: ASRock Z390

RAM: 16gb DDR4 3200mhz

GPU: RX 6700XT

Let me know if I'm missing any specs, it's been years since I last looked at my hardware.

Hope nobody missed anything during the outage

Hey all, I've been thinking about making the jump from Windows to Linux as my daily-driver and I've been struggling on what distro to use.

On my laptop I've been using Fedora's KDE Spin for a bit but I can't say I really like KDE all that much. I took that Distrochooser test and 9/10 of the suggestions were all Ubuntu-based or Arch-based for some reason lol.

I would prefer a distro that "just works" but I'm not scared of having to troubleshoot or fix things. I guess I'm just looking to see what everyone else uses and what you all recommend. Thanks!

So I jumped ship from Windows to Kubuntu last night, and It's mostly been pretty good. However my general performance of the computer has been abysmal. Like it takes upwards of 5 seconds to open anything. All of my hardware seems to be running at max speeds, so I have no idea why it would be so sluggish? It's as if I'm running on 2gb of ram and a cpu at like 1.5ghz. My specs are:

i7-8700k at 4.7mhz max Amd Rx 6750xt 16gb ram at 3200mhz Linux is on an m.2

Any ideas? This is practically unusable for any normal operations, let alone any gaming.

Update: So it seems like my CPU is being throttled to it's min of 800mhz because the temp is just below 100c. Not sure why it's so high because I never got that high even in intensive gaming on Windows

Hi all, I'm looking for some Discord alternatives. All I really need is the ability to do voice calls and screen shares. It can be either via DM or channels, I only need to it be able to speak with a few friends that'd be open to moving over. I've tried Matrix/Element but there doesn't seem to be a screen share function. There's Teamspeak but I don't think that's FOSS nor does it support screen shares as well. Any other options? Basically just voice calls and screen shares is all I need, I couldn't care about channels or servers or whatever other functionalities Discord has put into their app. Thanks!
