My pixel phone has meager storage. Could I use an old phone with bountiful SD space to serve up media via Bluetooth?...

Used a couple of US recipes recently and most of the ingredients are in cups, or spoons, not by weight. This is a nightmare to convert. Do Americans not own scales or something? What’s the reason for measuring everything by volume?

I have forge accounts from three respective sites: GitHub, GitLab and Codeberg. In all of these forges, I’ve opted to use secret e-mail. The reason for this is that when I had my original e-mail, I was spam-bombed job roles by a company from Shanghai within the Linux foundation, called Zilliz. Apparently, they extracted emails...

Hi, all. So I just made a semi-impulse purchase of a Playdate console. While I’m waiting for it to arrive, I would like to hear from you guys. If you have it, what has your experience been? Is it as good as some reviews make it seem? How big of an issue is the lack of backlight? Any favourite games?

So my employer got me a business Udemy account and I want to make the most of it. What are good courses there for a home self hoster?...

I’m bored of reading how Linux is better than windows, how matrix is better than discord, how foss is better than proprietary etc etc. I didn’t even mind but it’s always the same things everyone says… so anyway I want to hide comments that mention those words I already did it for posts but can’t find an option for...

I recently started the process of switching over to wayland and, so far, it’s going reasonably well. There are still a few things to get working, but I’m happy with the progress speed....

And what did you do about it?

I’ll try keep this short and concise....

I watched a Warframe (game) YouTube video on the Steam integrated browser, without beeing connected to my account and Holly s* it was horrible....

I have an HP Stream 11 that I want to use for word processing and some light web browsing - I’m a writer and it’s a lightweight laptop to bring to the library or coffee shop to write on. Right now it’s got Windows and it’s unusable due to lack of hard drive space for updates. Someone had luck with Xubuntu, but it’s...

Recently I found this program called Steamtools where you can add games to your Steam library without owning it and Workshop etc. worked. Now I wanted to install some mods for Automation (which I downloaded through rin) and now it doesn’t work anymore. It always says CONTENT STILL ENCRYPTED. Does any of you know if it works...

I am running wg-easy and there is a way to passport protect the GUI used for creating Wireguard connections. Is there a way to prohibit connection to be made if not a password is entered? I don’t want someone to be able to access my VPN if for example my phone would be stolen unlocked. I don’t mind if it is client side only

You wouldn’t start off an e-mail with “My Dear X”, or “Dearest X”, since that would be too personal for a professional email, so “To X” being more impersonal seems like it would make the letter more professional-sounding, compared to “Dear X”.

I’m curious how software can be created and evolve over time. I’m afraid that at some point, we’ll realize there are issues with the software we’re using that can only be remedied by massive changes or a complete rewrite....

Do I need to install the desktop env when installing a distro or do I need to install blank Linux and install a clean desktop env later? Thank you! 😃👌

So I have a Galaxy S22 and saw /e/os and thought it looked great then saw it didn’t list my phone as one of the compatible devices....

Hi all....

I am in search for a game but can only find it on Steam. I did find someone on CS who had the game build that could launch without Steam but the link is long expired… Do you guys know where it is possible to find Steam less games?? I really don’t want to download Steam just to play 1 game on my laptop.

Hi lemmys! My next door neighbour is driving me crazy. They started at 10:30AM and you can hear them through closed doors and windows, and two brick walls. They have enough brain cells to understand “turn it down”. Any ideas to deal/screw with them?...

My partner and I both have digital cameras. Hers is a Canon EOS Rebel-T5, and mine is an Olympus Tough TG-6. Both cameras will create subdirectories within the /DCIM/ folder, formatted as 10*CANON or 10*OLYMP. We’ve shared SD cards on occasion, and neither camera has had any issues with just creating a new directory to match...
