Debian + Containers is definitely the way. Literally so stable it’s boring.

I only go in the server room to t-pose in front of the giant air conditioner to cool off.

Facial recognition confirmed he was a criminal and the scanner confirmed he had a gun! Of course we opened fire instantly. How could we have known it was just some guy with a water bottle?

Yeah this is one of those things where accessibility settings can probably get you 90% there but screenshots and machine learning can probably close the gap somewhat reliably (even if it’s much less efficient).

I can’t believe that there are people are out there just raw dogging the Internet with no AdBlock. The advertising is so aggressive and intrusive. I legitimately cannot tolerate using the Internet when 80% of the page is filled with attention grabbing bullshit.

The more I learn about Valve culture the more I realize they definitely have teams just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. I bet there are some really wild prototypes that we never get to see.

Running games at 800p targeting 40fps is a lot more viable than I would have expected just looking at the numbers. It looks great for a display that size and 40fps feels like it’s a lot closer to 60fps than it really is.

I get why people using it as their primary gaming device would want more power but as a secondary device for me it’s stellar.

Where else am I going to share the fun stuff I find with StumbleUpon?

If it was free and I just had to pay the subscription I’d think “Can’t my phone already do all this?”

Same here. I love DuckDNS but after the third DNS outage taking down all my services I migrated to Cloudflare and haven’t had a single problem since.

I have yet to have any success with Bottles but I assume it’s because I don’t know what I’m doing and I’m trying with software known to be difficult.

I remote into a Windows PC for Fusion 360 and Affinity suite but if I could get those working on Linux I’d be in really good shape.

They’re not expecting any one person to implement the whole thing.

Hahaha, tell that to leadership! 😩

I’ve not tried GPT4ALL but Ollama combined with Open WebUI is really great for selfhosted LLMs and can run with podman. I’m running Bazzite too and this is what I do.

I see there is an m.2 slot too with what looks to be a Kingston SSD.

I’m still confused what era this laptop is from. It might be a SATA m.2.

Wayland was subject to “first mover disadvantage” for a long time. Why be the first to switch and have to solve all the problems? Instead be last and everyone else will do the hard work for you.

But without big players moving to it those issues never get fixed. And users rightly should not be forced to migrate to a broken system that isn’t ready. People just want a system that works right?

Eventually someone had to decide it was ‘good enough’ and try an industry wide push to move away from a hybrid approach that wastes developer time and confuses users.

Back in the day people paid for ringtones, wallpapers, etc. Dumbest thing ever were ‘ringbacks’ where you paid to have a song or something play when people called you. So the people buying it didn’t even hear it, they just forced other people to listen to a shitty low fidelity garbled mess of a song they liked while you waited for them to pick up the phone.

It’s kind of a paradox when you think about it. Good reviewers are often just regular people with a passion for tech but as they become more popular and prolific they become part of the industry itself. Once that happens even if they try to stay objective and critical their perspective is so different from regular people that reviews are just part of the sales and marketing strategy rather than pro tips from an enthusiast.

My career as a sysadmin consistently has me veering toward security and compliance and my brain is absolutely fried on trying to figure out what these huge docs actually mean, how they apply to the things I’m responsible for and what we’re supposed to do about it.

Props to all the folks that can do it without losing their mind.

Their mom’s basement, most likely.

I’ve had exactly this happen to me. It was my own fault but it took a bit of work figure out.
