Really interested in the new Gen-2 laptop with both cpu & gpu, cause i'm fed up with the still truly horrible power-management of gpu's on .
Anyone know of reviews of it, apart from the 1 by ?

Also, the Gen-1 was only available for a few months, which seems weird? and the only difference looks the cpu, changed from Ryzen 7 7840HS to 8845HS, which doenst make much difference. Anyone know what happened there?

Apparently even the European Data Protection Supervisor , can't find the funds for it's mastodon servers. Which is bizar if you think about all the "talk" about not relying on , a more independent EU, open standards, security, importance of reliable information etc.

Can't be repeated enough, quit whatsapp where you can, use signal. It's great, very secure, opensource, not tied to , non-profit etc.

@matv1@mastodon.social avatar

@ErikJonker Moving from whatsap to signal is a good step. Moving to Element (Matrix protocol) an even better one. Because:

  1. Signal is still US-based so similarly conflicted wrt eu-us diclosure- an privacylaws. Element/Matrix is EU based.
  2. Matrix network is distributed by design (like mastodon) and has fully open api for any third-party client (like mastodon)

Old dell servers are often cheaper and more powerful than devices sold as NAS systems!

Buy a USB 3 PCIe card and you can attach all your cheap USB SATA mass storage to it or fill it with SSD drives or both.

  • TrueNAS (core = jails, scale = docker)
  • OpenMediaVault
  • UnRAID

@tcely probably true but power usage is probably a multiple of a nas,, as well as being more noisy.

Let's be honest, universities use their social media profiles only for broadcasting, i.e., advertisements.

What does it say about our universities if corporations like IBM, Apple or Sony find X so revolting they stop advertising there, but our universities do not find X revolting enough to leave?

While all software has security issues, the irresponsible behavior of Microsoft shows why anti-trust action is needed to reduce the stranglehold the big tech firms have over the cloud computing market. Without external pressure, companies tend to hide rather than fix problems. https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/08/microsoft-cloud-security-blasted-for-its-culture-of-toxic-obfuscation/

@williamconna hi, thanks for commenting! But that sounds like a pretty brute-force approach, deleting my entire home folder.. Can you point to some known bugreport with that solution?
I am seeing this happen as of today in 2 different accounts on different devices, so it doesnt sound like just a personal issue.
Just that both are running Linux

@williamconna Right, i did realize that 😄! But still. Even though i've got all my games synced to steam cloud, that will mean deleting all my steam data and a lot of configs. Am a bit hesitant to do that just yet
