  • you have a few options. yes, wine. also, lutris, winboat, and bottles. these all act as ‘make windows app run like any other app on my linux machine’. if those don’t work for your program then you can try installing a windows virtual machine with virt-manager. if you’re familiar with docker, check out dockur/windows for a docker container that automates a quick win vm setup with a webgui. (disclaimer: i have not tried this project yet, don’t know how well it works)

    if you need heavy gpu use, however, you might have to dual-boot. you have linux installed on one disk partition and windows installed on another. you pick which one you want with the grub bootloader menu that shows when you start up. you can only run one at a time and must reboot to switch. it’s highly recommended to install windows first, then linux, and familiarize yourself with repairing grub with a linux liveusb as windows updates frequently break it. don’t worry i know that sounds scary, but it’s just the bootloader that breaks, not your linux or windows install, and it’s just a few simple commands to fix.

    imho almost any professional software should work with wine/lutris/winboat/bottles/vm, but dual boot is there if you find it necessary.

    also consider if you actually do need those particular pro programs. there are likely multiple foss (free and open source software) projects that do whatever it is you need to do. of course if it’s a case of company policy mandating use of certain programs there’s not much you can do besides dual-boot.





  • they’re nazis doing nazi shit they want to do, it’s not a fucking distraction. it’s not fucking 4d chess. this is what they want. they’d be doing this even if they weren’t pedos. they’ve not even ever really tried that hard to hide that they’re pedos. the epstein files won’t bring them down even if they’re all released unredacted. you’re distracting yourself with what you think is the final all-powerful gotcha in our back pocket that will stop them through courts - which it won’t - while they’re starting their campaign for total world domination.





  • any other linux distro can do vms and containers, too. arguably it’s easier to do that than with proxmox.

    but yeah, i wanted to check it out so threw it on the drive i pulled from my old broken laptop to check it out and discovered the wifi omission. i even tried to install base debian and ensure wifi was set up first then convert to a proxmox install. sadly, proxmox’s network stack is in conflict with any other linux network libs and actively uninstalled whichever one i had set up during the proxmox conversion.

    i get their reasoning for not supporting wifi after looking it up but imho completely removing it as a possibility is a bit not cool, bro. i wasn’t trying to do any high availability or multiple nodes or anything like that so it wouldn’t have been an issue for my use case anyway.




  • desec does offer one free subdomain, and you can use as many nested subdomains as you want for your services. do note you’ll need a wildcard cert for each subdomain level: *.sub.dedyn.io and *.app.sub.dedyn.io if a service needs it’s own subdomains for apis and whatnot.

    edit: also a note for any fellow noobs like me it’s deDYN.io not deSEC.io on your account/subdomain. it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize my mistake trying to sign up with every subdomain i tried saying it exists already.
