Saw this thread and it reminded me of something I found lacking in most areas. I went to Raytown Rec or whatever poolhall back in the day. What’s the thing now?
I can’t drink because of a medical condition, so this is something I think about pretty often. There aren’t many options that I’m aware of. Certain cafes/restaurants might stay open fairly late, which can be fun, but I eat vegan and those places don’t tend to cater to that kind of diet.
I’ve had an Ubuntu 22.04 setup going for around a year, and over that year I’ve had to increase the size of the partition holding my /var folder multiple times. I’m now up to 20GB and again running into problems, mainly installing new apps, because that partition is again nearly full. I’ve used commands sudo apt clean...
Edit: I did some research on the Google Fiber reddit and it seems like broken port forwarding is a common issue with the provided hardware. Most say just BYO router. Sigh....
Giving this a try, thanks. I notice in the comments someone said something about Cloudflare’s ToS being limited to HTML and makes it sound like serving video through the tunnel could mean getting charged. I’m hosting movies on this Jellyfin server, so I guess I should be concerned?
I’ve never used Tutanota but been a Proton Unlimited user for a few years now. I definitely like the mail service, and Drive and VPN are nice but can be slow, especially Drive. Everything else I don’t have much use for, and honestly I cringe when I see the new stuff they’re working on. Not that any of it’s bad, but it feels like they’re in the “can’t just make a good product” camp, constantly trying to add on new stuff instead of focusing on quality. Could have it all wrong, though, I’m just a person, not an analyst.
Yeah, most people aren’t on social media to see “what their friends are up to,” they’re there for the memes, the culture, the brands (including pop artists), whatever the latest “thing” is. Mastodon doesn’t have any of that, or at least it’s very hard to find.
I’m considering getting a laptop for Linux and want to know a few things before I do. Some important info before I start: I don’t plan on using the laptop for anything too intense, mainly writing, digital art, streaming, browsing, and maybe very mild video editing (cropping at least and shortening at most). I would also...
Everyone’s made good suggestions, but I wanted to throw out there that I just recently learned Kubuntu actually has been making its own line of custom-made laptops for a while, called Focus. There’s a few different models, and IIRC one or two configurations are below $1000. You’ll definitely save a buck by going with Windows-first options, but if you want to support Linux that’d be one way of doing it.
It can’t be that cancel culture is just the free market in action, right? People not liking what a business does and choosing to buy from someone else is socialism.
I like watching (and making) funny shortform videos on TikTok and Instagram reels, and I’d like to move to the fediverse as much as possible. Glancing around at PeerTube, it seems designed to replicate traditional YouTube with longform content, not something I’m interested in. PixelFed looks like the old Instagram, intended...
I’m curious if other users are experiencing timeouts reaching midwest.social several times a day? I’m browsing through the summit and connect Android apps, for context. I’m unable to load anything (/all feed and posts) several times a day on this account so I just wanted to see if others are experiencing the same thing....
Since web searches are almost useless for this kind of thing anymore, I wanted to see if anyone here has KC restauraunt recommendations for vegan eating. Been living here a couple years and have been to and like the Fix, Mud Pie, the Wooden Spoon, and Blue Koi, but I’d love to have more options.

So what do teenagers or non drinkers do in KC these days? (lemm.ee)

Port forwarding issue after network upgrade

KDE Connect - share files, and remote control between phone and computer (diode.zone)
Open source way to connect your devices together. I just got it and it seems pretty dope. Anyone used this, or something similar before?
Tutanota vs Proton Mail
I’ve been using Tutanota for a while now. Been interested in people’s opinions about Tutanota and Protonmail.
