Okay so it’s been like a month since EndeavourOS has found an update to install. I’m running sudo pacman -Syu almost daily to update my system but it only find eos-* updates to install and nothing else. I know kernel 6.10 came out not long ago but my system is still on 6.9.*. What can I check? There’s no way EOS hasn’t had an update in over a month…

Edit: added screenshot. Just ran this and as expected, only one package found.

Edit 2: Refreshing the mirrors and ranking them did the trick. Thousands of updates waiting…

Cherry and beefsteak tomatoes. Noticed on the beefsteak first. It started at the top of the plant and worked its way down. Today I went out to do my usual watering and checking on everything and noticed that my cherry tomatoes were showing the same type of wilting. Tomatoes are growing relatively well and the leaves are not discolored, just wilted. Raised bed, Zone 8a. What’s going on with my tomatoes?

Update: Based on everyone’s comments (thank you so much!). I’ve trimmed the plants considerably to open them up and improve airflow, I’ll be getting straw for the soil and installing a shade cloth and hopefully that does the trick.

TL:DR; What wireless headset do you recommend (obviously works well with Linux)?

Just finished upgrading my gaming rig and monitor. Got everything up and running (EndeavourOS and the usual gaming things). The last piece to upgrade all my stuff is a new headset. I would like it to be wireless (if possible), works well in Linux (if that’s even a “problem”), lightweight, good quality audio and microphone (lots of Discord talking). I’m simply not up to speed as to “what’s a good gaming headset”. What do you guys have/recommend?

Okay seriously where the heck do you guys find Audio Logs and Patrol Logs for the audio masking mod? I’ve raiding countless settlements of different sizes, economies and security levels and have come up empty and by the looks of it, I can’t trade data that I do have for the ones I need like you usually do for ship engineering. O7 Commanders!

I've been trying Tumbleweed for my gaming needs and so far it seems to be working relatively well. My issue is about removed packages. When I first installed TW, I removed quite a few packages I did not want (KSudoku, LibreOffice, and a few others). It has been a little since I've turned on my PC but yesterday I noticed that KSudoku, LibreOffice, and really all other apps I thought I had uninstalled (sudo zypper remove ) were back on my desktop. I thought "maybe I forgot to uninstalled them in the first place" so I went through and removed all the unwanted stuff again. Since it had been awhile I updated my OS right after uninstalling those packages. After the update (sudo zypper up), I rebooted and immediately noticed that all those packages I had just removed were back (AGAIN). So WTF... am I not removing those unwanted packages "properly"? Why do they keep coming back after updates? How can I prevent this?

TL;DR: is there an app that can alert me when a new version of some other app is available?

I have about 12 - 15 services (freshrss, heimdall, photoprism, Wordpress, etc) running using docker compose spread across 4 hosts. Through my self-hosting journey I’ve been burned a few times using “latest” images so I now pin app image versions within compose.

The problem then becomes that every couple of weeks, I have to go out to different GitHub’s, docker hub, etc. to see if a new update for that service is available. It gets a bit tedious with 12-15 services every couple of weeks so I need a centralized and more efficient way of “keeping up”.

Is there some type of app that can track whether an app/service has a new version available? Ideally it can send me some type of notification, self-hostable, and ideally not Portainer?

I’m running a very small business and now I have a need to start tracking my sales and expenses for the business. Not looking for a full blown Quickbooks type of thing but if that’s all that’s available then no big deal, I can just use what I need and ignore the rest.

Obviously, I have to self host this. Hardware available varies but I have several raspberry pi’s laying around not doing much (3, 4 & 5). Ideally dockerized. My research shows GnuCash, Akaunting and Odoo.

What does this awesome community recommend?

P.S. Tried spinning up Akaunting on an rpi 5 and encountered a breaking bug (already reported to their github).

My apologies for the long post.

I have a single server running Unraid with about 12 services (Pihole, Wordpress, Heimdall, Jellyfin, etc.) all running on Docker. This server is also acting as my home lab NAS. Everything runs fine for my use case (at least for right now) but I’ve been thinking about creating some type of compute cluster for my services instead of a single server.

Recently, I saw a discussion about Proxmox, Docker, LXD and Incus where a user felt that Incus was a better option to all the others. Curious, I started reading up on Incus and playing around with it and contemplating switching all my services from Docker in Unraid to an Incus cluster (I’m thinking around 3 nodes) and leaving the Unraid server to serve as a NAS only.

In a nutshell Incus/LXD appear to be (to me) a lightweight version of a VM in which case I would have to manually install and configure each service I have running. Based on the services I have running, that seems like a ton of work to switch to Incus when I could just do 3 physical servers (Debian) in docker swarm mode or a Proxmox cluster with 3 Debian VMs with docker in swarm mode. I’d all possible, I would like to keep my services containerized rather then actual VMs.

What has me thinking that a switch to Incus may be worth it is performance. If the performance of my services is significantly better in Incus/LXDs as compared to Docker, then that’s worth it to me. I have not been able to find any type of performance comparison between Incus/LXD and Docker. I don’t know if there are other reasons as to “Incus over Proxmox and Docker” which is why I’m asking the greater community.

Here’s my question:

Based on your experience and taking into consideration my use case (home lab/home use), do the pros and cons of Incus outweigh accomplishing my goal by creating standalone hosts cluster or Proxmox cluster?

Basically, title.

Just started playing Elite Dangerous again and saw someone using their voice to control the game. When I looked into it, they were using VoiceAttack but they were on Windows. I would love to use VoiceAttack or similar alternative for gaming. Looked just about everywhere (Reddit, YouTube, etc.) but the only thing I found was an archived thread on Reddit that seemed promising but it has been deleted (post was 4 years old).

What beginner friendly RTS game can you recommend?

As a quick background, RTS is completely new to me. I spend majority of my time in FPS type games but want to branch out a bit and try out something different/new (to me).

Requirements:

• Somewhat casual (if that’s possible)
• Somewhat easy to learn
• Relatively modern with decent graphics (something that looks nice)
• Runs on Linux (of course) and Steam

What software do I need to use to create a 3D wireframe of an object such an imported stl?

Essentially, I’d like to create something like this out of an existing stl (preferably) or created by hand if needed?

Typically I would just buy whatever brand had the cheapest white color PLA (I like to paint my print) and quality wasn’t always top of mind. Now I have several prints that I want to do in all kids of different colors and quality matters. Given the new color and quality requirements, it no longer makes sense to get the cheapest.

What brand is of good to excellent quality that also offers a decent range of colors?

I mostly run my prints through Ender 3 Pros

Edit: Thank you for everyone’s suggestions! Certain brands are being recommended often so I’m going to start experimenting with those! Keep being awesome!
