Appoxo , to asklemmy in What email provider do you use? Would you recommend it?
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Ionos.
Too lazy to selfhost. Also the implications of self hosting and securing email is too cumbersome to sleep well at night.
But I do self host non-important to my living at home.

Edit:
Inbox: Outlook. Tried eM-Client but it was worse than Outlook (around 2018 or 19)

Have been keeping an eye on fcast.org but haven’t gotten involved yet.

eodur OP ,

This looks exactly like what I’m looking for!

@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

Oh neat. Hope it works for your needs. Let us know how it goes.

Macast is pretty cool too. Think it uses upnp or something.

vikingtons ,
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

will need to check it out. Thank you for the tip

eco_game ,

Yesss fcast looks incredibly promising. Sadly the only app implementing it seems to be GrayJay, I really hope it will catch on more.

warmaster ,

Since no proprietary streaming service will ever implement this, I wish Jellyfin & PeerTube did.

azron ,

I’m also hopeful fcast gets some more love. The ability to mirror my whole android screen to an fcast server would be great they have servers for Mac, Linux, Windows, and Android but not a lot of clients.

Grayjay integration works well I use it instead of casting.

Second this, other than Starbucks, coffee is pretty crappy. Any places worth checking out will be highly appreciated

TheBigBrother ,

I drink homemade mixes, Starbucks it’s good also, check out YouTube for different kinds of homemade mixes there are some which taste pretty good made with instant coffee.

@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

I don’t get it. Why do people like Starbucks? To me it’s bitter and granular. Compared to a Nero which is smooth and sweet.

Yet, many avid coffee drinkers I know love the taste of Starbucks. Is it a genetic thing?

10_0 ,

Most of the time I just get a standard coffee and they taste the same between all cafes and coffee shops, and with standard drinks Starbucks is cheaper than Nero, but at custamizing drinks level price doesn’t matter

Viking_Hippie ,

Is it a genetic thing?

Probably more of a cultural one. Like how even Americans with Scandinavian ancestry consider black liquorice taste bud poison but us Scandinavians IN Scandinavia generally can’t get enough of it 😁

i’m from melbourne, australia which is one of the best places in the world for coffee… when i go to the US i try to find good coffee but our version of good tends to be VERY different

US good is a dark roast - which i find very bitter… australian coffee (and melbourne in particular) is quite a light roast, which is more acidic but less bitter

i find most good coffee in the US to be pretty undrinkable (this probably comes down to choice of preparations: black drip is pretty weak; expresso starts out strong), but a starbucks blonde is… inoffensive (note write relation to your comment: a light right is probably what you’re talking about; especially a light double ristretto… a ristretto is a half shot, twice… the bitterness from coffee comes at the end of the shot, so nero is perhaps a light roast double ristretto… you also tend to get most of the caffeine in the first half i think? so it’s more caffeine if that worries you)

so when i’m in a rush and really just want to not hate what im putting in me, ill find a starbucks not because its good, but because its fucking hard work to find a good coffee that’s also my taste - my usual cues for a cafe just don’t work in the US, and there’s no a fantastic cafe on literally every corner so the choice is even harder

@SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I live in a medium sized US city, and even here, StarBucks is pretty much the bottom of the barrel. Where do you live that StarBucks is the best?

Edit: Not throwing shade, genuinely curious. I had this situation in my hometown. But India is a tea-centric culture, so it’s understandable.

Costa, or any places’ (UK) local cafe’s, you could go into the middle of nowhere and still find a cafe or freehouse

ISOmorph , to linux in Gantt in linux

You could use ProjectLibre although it might be overkill

Yeah, it’s overkill, and also breaks on anything newer than java 11 or 12

DLSantini , to linux in I wonder if its possible to pass a already existing windows install into qemu (fedora 40 kde)

Yes. Yes it is. I had a single Windows install that was my main system. I eventually decided to semi-switch to Linux, and passed that SSD through to a VM, along with the GPU and half of my USB ports in order to continue running that Windows install for gaming and Adobe stuff. You just have to keep messing around with the config of the VM, and look up info about getting your UUID from Windows to add to your VM config, so your Windows license/activation will keep working as is. There are guides and info for all of this if you Google around. Don’t remember exactly where I found those guides, as I ran that setup for about year and then switched that Windows install back to bare metal, and it has been about another year since then. I do remember that I got the same boot issues as you when switching back and forth between bare metal and VM, and I had to run the Windows boot repair tools to get everything working. Trying looking into that.

Kit , to asklemmy in How to reinstall PC and Phone?

Might help if you told us what OS your laptop is running.

Colorfulhipp OP ,

Windows 11 Home

(phone too?)

Kit ,

Windows 11 Home is not compatible with the vast majority of MDM systems. Your school can’t see what you do. If you still want to reset your laptop, do this:

Click Start.
Click Settings.
Click System.
Click Recovery.
Click Reset PC.
Choose to keep your files or remove everything.
Follow the instructions to reset your computer.

shy_mia , to lemmyshitpost in Coming down your chimney

You didn’t need to post this.

bionicjoey , to asklemmy in Do you know any mobile games that don't suck?

Games with roguelike metaprogression:

  • Vampire Survivors: Practically an idle game. All you do in this is control your hero’s movement around a sea of monsters and your hero automatically attacks them. Surprisingly fun and strategically deep. Battery killer
  • Slay the Spire: card collecting strategy game
  • Bloons TD 6 (requires Netflix): Pop Bloons with monkeys. Battery killer
  • Into the Breach (requires Netflix): isometric strategy game from the same devs as FTL: Faster Than Light. Big emphasis on using near-perfect information to solve tactical fights like they are puzzles.

Puzzle games:

  • Any of the variant Sudoku apps from “Studio Goya” on the Play store. These are the official apps of the Cracking the Cryptic YouTube channel. Handcrafted puzzles tend to have a very interesting solution path that requires you to develop logic skills.
  • The Room. Play as Tommy Wiseau as he uncovers an Eldritch mystery by opening puzzle boxes. Very satisfying animations, neat story
  • Cultist Simulator. Honestly idk what to call this one but “puzzle game” kind of fits. This is a really fun game but requires a while to get a hang of. In fact the fun of the game is learning the game mechanics, since nothing is explained except through cryptic hints and riddles. The writing is incredible but you will probably lose a lot as you get the hang of it.

Other stuff:

  • Eternal Card Game: I’ll be honest, I haven’t played this in ages, but I remember it being a better MTG clone than MTG arena. The mechanics are almost the exact same feeling as MTG, but more adapted to the digital medium. Has some pay-to-win mechanics and microtransactions but honestly the pricing felt pretty fair to me and it’s not super in-your-face with it.
  • RCT Classic: Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 mobile port. It’s not as good as OpenRCT, but it’s still a lot of fun.
  • OpenTTD: Transport tycoon deluxe mobile port.
  • Papers Please: Glory to Arstotzka!
  • Townscaper: not really a game as much as an arts and crafts kit. You get a tile-based map and wherever you click it fills in a tile. Depending on how you fill in those tiles, they look like different little buildings, gardens, etc. really cute game with no stakes.
  • Mindustry: minimalist Factorio clone. Controls can be challenging on mobile but it’s still fun

Slay The Spire alone can give you hundreds of hours, even thousands.

SuperSpruce ,

Great list but idk why you put “Requires Netflix.” None of these require Netflix.

bionicjoey ,

Maybe it’s not the case anymore. Bloons and Into the Breach were ported through Netflix’s game publishing thing. Maybe they opened it up at some point.

SuperSpruce ,

I don’t know about Into the Breach but I have BTD6 with no Netflix account

Passerby6497 ,

Bloons may have been ported to netflix, but the Bloons games release native on tons of platforms.

ValenThyme ,

into the breach on ios requires an active netflix account to launch the game, i just tried it

bionicjoey ,

Thanks for confirming!

SuperSpruce ,

Why? That’s such a stupid move

Interstellar_1 ,
@Interstellar_1@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

It’s published by netflix

AceFuzzLord ,

Last I checked, I thought you could still purchase BTD6 without needing netfl*x through the play store. Has that changed?

Also, glory to glorious Arstotzka.

truxnell , to linuxmemes in Have you tried NixOS?

Most definietly, I have my entire homelab setup in nix as well as laptop/desktop. Is a hell of a lot easier and more reliable than the Kubernetes setup it replaced…

Shareni ,

Damn you broke my brain for a second there. I thought you meant that nixos replaced k8s, and was wondering what the hell are you talking about.

truxnell ,

Haha yeah could have worded better. I was running a 3 node k8s cluster on Talos Linux as my homelab. Downsized/simplified to a single NAS (aka NixNAS) + NUC on nixos and split the services between them. Apps that heavily use the NAS live on it for direct file access, the rest hum along on the nuc. I sleep easier with this, rather than fighting nose breakage during upgrades or wondering when my next ceph failure will occur.
