nicman24,

btw does gsync / freesync work with wayland?

nicman24,

this is it. this is the critical point of quality the fediverse needed

nicman24,

honestly it is good to start with and for controlling machines like an array of 3d printers but a dumpster dive laptop will be faster. RPI4 is quite old now.

with that done:

  • jellyfin
  • smb server
  • syncthing
  • tftp with wake on lan / clonezilla to backup your other machines

Thoughts on apathy and the Reddit protest (i.imgur.com)

Honestly, it's mind-boggling how the top 1% have us believing their relentless greed is just the norm and that we're helpless to do anything about it. This is particularly noticeable on platforms like Reddit, where we, the users, are the real value creators and even volunteer our time....

nicman24,

it is a cyclical forest fire kinda of a deal. new platforms rise, old die all the time. the weird part is that reddit survived that long

Why does it feel like we're at a point where every social media + other digital media are making shitty decisions and falling apart?

I mean there's Reddit ofc, as well as Twitter in its entirety, Discord is implementing some dumb updates, there are issues with Tumblr as well as everything to do with Meta, and I'm sure there are plenty more (and I haven't even touched other digital media, for example the Sims). Why is it all happening in the span of about a...

nicman24,

because investors started wanting them to make money

nicman24,

a vpn is probably not great, a cheap VPS in linode (because it has one click wireguard vpses) is probably better and wont get caught on captchas / anti spam filters

nicman24,

i think level1techs on yt covered it. it is basically a rented computer you can have for yourself. more importantly the traffic that goes through it is only your own so no captchas

nicman24,

yeah but for piracy it is adequate. for illegal shit you should 1. not be using your own net, 2. using anything but TOR or the other one

nicman24,

i personally like freeotp made by redhat iirc

mjomdal, to archlinux
@mjomdal@fosstodon.org avatar

That’s it. I’m throwing in the towel. Linux ricing is not for me. I’m deleting and installing . It’s dumb to think I can just walk off the street and make a better desktop environment than teams of people dedicated to that. Looking forward to actually doing the stuff I want to on my device rather than modifying dotfiles all night.

nicman24,

@mjomdal just use something sensible my man. Arch will have the same software as ubuntu.

nicman24,

there are different libreoffice UIs in the View menu fyi

nicman24,

if they say they are from California (they have a similar law) then yes

Raspberry Pi alternatives for headless self hosted applications

Since rpis have been almost impossible to find, I've been looking around for alternatives for some local self hosted services like home assistant. A lot of boards seem to talk about GPU, GPIO pins, etc. But I really just want a single board, fanless (low power), decent CPU and RAM, ethernet....

nicman24,

a cheap second hand laptop will be both faster and will have better wattage and what is basically an internal UPS

nicman24,

i prefer the laptop due to impossibility of a brown out / blackout affecting it. it is basically an active ups

nicman24,

nah laptops in the last 5 years have features like that so you dont need to worry about all that. most have them in the bios too so no weird software needed

nicman24,

until you get some armors you will be oneshoted anyways

nicman24,

Me: wipes cmos
My board: I've never met this man nvme in my life
