STUPIDVIPGUY , to youshouldknow in YSK: How to Budget

So I definitely have some privilege here in the form of not paying rent. But I’m able to live off my savings and being as frugal as possible while letting my investment account slowly grow and mostly come out net zero for the last 6 months. Pretty nice not having to work and just living as low-impact and low-cost as possible. Of course this isn’t possible for people who have unavoidable bills and payments but I still absolutely agree that many people could do better with saving and budgeting.

TonyTonyChopper , to nostupidquestions in Do I understand correctly that I have to subscribe to 5 different NoStupidQuestions on 5 different instances?
@TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz avatar

you fundamentally misunderstand lemmy. These are all independent communities, hosted by different admins.

Hangglide ,

Which is stupid.

QualisArtifexPereo ,

I think over time some instances and some admins will become more popular, and weed out the rest.

DogMuffins ,

To some extent perhaps but I don’t think that should be the objective.

Just subscribe to all the “no stupid questions” communities. It’s no big thing.

BradleyUffner ,

New ones get created all the constantly. Are they supposed to spend all their time monitoring every instance for new variants of a community?

vashti ,

I mean, this is how everything worked already. People start subreddits and have to get traction, make their way to /r/all, etc. Having one single space wasn’t magic, and things work exactly the same.

If you see a community that interests you, subscribe to it and be the change.

    Of course you’re welcome to that opinion but it’s a fundamental design feature of the fediverse.

    There’s no central point of control. Anyone can create an instance and create their own “No stupid questions” community.

    There are obvious benefits if you’d care to consider them but if not it’s fine if the fediverse isn’t for you. There’s always reddit I guess.

    Hangglide ,

    There is nothing stopping the fediverse from checking with other instances to see if a name is already in use. That would be a pretty cool feature to avoid a whole bunch of duplication.

    can ,

    They’re not duplicates. Remember /r/games and /r/gaming? Both with unique moderation styles? Well now they don’t need different names.

    mosiacmango ,

    Yup, this is just as easy If you notice one of the “[email protected]” communities is always posting edgy bullshit, you unsub and go on your way. No different than unsubing from “Actual” or “True” variants on reddit.

    DogMuffins ,

    Yes there is.

    It’s decentralised. There’s no central authority.

    Even if lemmy imposed that restriction, you could just fork the code and remove it.

    PlutoniumAcid ,
    @PlutoniumAcid@lemmy.world avatar

    Wait, he’s got a point though: Why not something like this:

    A user wants to create a new community. He enters a name, then the system checks and informs that “the fediverse already has a community by that name +here and +here.” The user may still create this same community on this instance - or he might say, hey cool thanks, and go subscribe to (one of?) the existing ones instead.

    DogMuffins ,

    This would only help if people creating these communities were not aware that communities with the same name exist on other instances.

    Even if this feature did discourage someone from creating a new community, some other fief lord would be along shortly to create it.

    I did feel the same way about multiple communities initially, but now I’ve been here a while I realise that it’s just not a problem - just subscribe to all of them, that’s the solution.

    Shikadi ,

    Not really, it’s just not Reddit

    XEAL ,

    And confusing

    Synthead ,

    This is the same thing as having a community on Discord, Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook, except you get the feature of them seamlessly working together.

    XEAL ,

    Now I’m wondering if we could create meta subs that we could subscribe too…

    AbidanYre , to android in Favorite 2-factor authenticator?

    A lot of people like Aegis. I just keep it all in VaultWarden because I’m lazy and it’s easier.

    shortwavesurfer , to android in Favorite 2-factor authenticator?

    Keepassdx for me

    Trapping5341 , to android in Favorite 2-factor authenticator?

    I use bitwarden for 99% of my 2FA. The rest goes into both Google Auth and Authy.

    Wizza ,

    Oh, didn’t know bitwarden also managed 2FA, could’ve saved the space from using authy. Is that a (somewhat) new feature or is it just me being blind and missing it?

    LinkOpensChest_wav ,

    It’s super hard to find. I just now learned about this too. bitwarden.com/help/authenticator-keys/

    Wizza ,

    Welp… time to move everything from authy to bitwarden looks like

    Trapping5341 ,

    It’s not as obvious as the other apps for sure and requires the premium subscription which is like 10 bucks a year. Was an instant buy for me when I switched over. When you auto fill a login it will automatically copy your 2FA key to quick paste into the box. I love it.

    Wizza ,

    That does sounds nice, but on the other hand… i do like free stuff, instead of paying for subscriptions…

    Trapping5341 ,

    Yeah I don’t disagree but $10 a year is well worth it imo. Plus it keeps all your passwords and 2FA in one easy place.

    ASK_ME_ABOUT_LOOM ,

    This is the way to go! Bitwarden’s authenticator is just so smoothly integrated into the login process - Ctrl-Shift-L to login, them Ctrl-V to paste the code.

    I use yubikeys wherever they’re available and I use Aegis for the rare TOTP I don’t store in Bitwarden.

    Trapping5341 ,

    Been looking into getting a yubikey recently and just can’t bring myself to bite the bullet.

    ASK_ME_ABOUT_LOOM , (edited )

    If you can catch a good sale, they’re more affordable .I picked up two for about US$45 for their “May the Fourth” one-day sale in 2022.

    Trapping5341 ,

    Now that’s a price I can get behind. I think they are $55 for 1 of the series 5 right now. I debated just getting a security key version for $25 but I know I’ll just end up getting the higher tier later because I don’t really understand them and how they work.

    dantheclamman OP ,
    @dantheclamman@lemmy.world avatar

    So you store the TOTP for Bitwarden in one of the other apps?

    Trapping5341 ,

    Both actually because Bitwarden is to important to me to trust one service lol

    floppy ,
    @floppy@rabbitea.rs avatar

    I use Bitwarden for 2FA and the Bitwarden TOTP is in Aegis (I switched there from Authy after seeing a mention of it yesterday - never liked that it's near impossible to get the tokens back out of Authy, but Bitwarden is the only thing I use it for). Actually the Bitwarden code is in Bitwarden too 😉.

    I don't particularly like that the passwords and TOTP are stored together, but it makes things much more convenient.

    revanite ,

    I use bitwarden for all but it’s protected by a yubikey.

    Trapping5341 ,

    Ironically Bitwarden is why I want a Yubikey

    @m@tthi.as avatar

    I just swapped from Ubuntu to Debian but I don’t use VMs - only containers. I back my files up directly to B2 using autorestic, also running in a container that is scheduled by… another container (chadburn).

    No need for any VMs in my house. I honestly can’t see the point of them when containers exist.

    SeeJayEmm OP ,
    @SeeJayEmm@lemmy.procrastinati.org avatar

    Eh, to each their own. In fairness, some iteration of my current setup has existed for many years and I’ve only just get my feet wet with containers in the last month.

    @m@tthi.as avatar

    @SeeJayEmm I totally get it. Learning curves can be brutal.

    TrenchcoatFullofBats ,

    Just an FYI to OP: If you’re looking to run docker containers, you should know that Proxmox specifically does NOT support running docker in an LXC, as there is a very good chance that stuff will break when you upgrade. You should really only run docker containers in VMs with Proxmox.

    Proxmox Staff:

    Just for completeness sake - We don’t recommend running docker inside of a container (precisely because it causes issues upon upgrades of Kernel, LXC, Storage packages) - I would install docker inside of a Qemu VM as this has fewer interaction with the host system and is known to run far more stable.

    Hi me. Nice to finally meet you. I’ve lived off of $40k a year at my previous job. Family of 4, we have a house and two cars. Never been late on any payment I have. Credit is 800 now. People came to my last job to buy shit, they sign up for credit cards and their incomes are $80k+ and they always complained about being “broke” while buying shit they didn’t need. Lol.

    Coeus , to android in What's your favourite keyboard app? ⌨️

    I use Gboard because it just works. I would like to move to a FOSS keyboard but every one I’ve tried become frustrating to use.

    omarciddo ,

    Yep. Much as I hate to say it, GBoard just feels good in a way that none of the other major swipe keyboards have for me.

    Same, I scrolled too far to find another gboard user lol.

    AMillionMonkeys ,
    @AMillionMonkeys@lemmy.world avatar

    If you just want to distance yourself from Google, give OpenBoard a try. It’s GBoard without the G. It’s been working just the same for me, except for some reason it spontaneously decided to stop automatically capitalizing “I”.

    Coeus ,

    I’m replying with open board, let’s see how it does.

    There’s a fork of OpenBoard that enables Glide typing, in case you’re in interested in that:

    gringo_dingo ,

    Thank you for that recommendation. Was using AnySoftKeyboard for ages and got very frustrated with autocorrect and space bar position. Now, I can ditch it for something that works.

    BenderFender ,

    I agree. I’ve tried so many FOSS keyboards and no matter how hard I try, I just have to go back to gboard. It’s wild how hard it is to find a good keyboard. I can’t even use the stock Samsung one anymore

    FarLine99 ,

    GBoard without internet access is good compromise for me.

    infamousbelgian , to fediverse in Can I use the same domain name for Lemmy and Mastodon?

    By no means an expert but how do you want to set it up? Different subdomains or folders?

    I think subdomains are actual FQDN’s and will not cause issues. Folders might be an interesting experiment.

    That’s an interesting point. I could buy my wife a new Air and update her M1 to run Linux. Thanks for the suggestion!

    @code@lemmy.mayes.io avatar

    This is where i am leaning too

    jcarax ,

    Check the status of Asahi Linux, they’re making a lot of progress on Apple silicon, but it’s very early. I wouldn’t recommend it, at this point.

    Do you actually need 64GB of RAM? The Thinkpad T16 AMD would be a good choice, but the T14s AMD has just stupidly low fan noise in Notebookcheck’s review. You definitely want to focus on AMD, Intel’s efficiency is… not great right now. As an added benefit, you get AMD graphics from the APU, so none of the Nvidia driver fuckery, and better performance than Intel.

    Personally, I’m waiting for the T14s Gen 4 AMD. The 7840u is zen 4, GCN 3, and TSMC 4nm over the 6850u’s zen 3, GCN2, and TSMC 6nm. The T14 and T16 just hit Lenovo’s model database ‘psref’ earlier this week, so I’d expect them out in the next couple months. The T14s hasn’t been seen yet, I’d guess it hits psref in the next couple weeks. But, I’m prepared to wait into Q4, if need be, and some think I will be.

    ede OP ,

    Yeah, the RAM is a hard requirement. I’d like more if I could. My desktop is AMD so I’m not against using them at all if it makes sense to do so. I’ve also enjoyed Lenovo in the past but couldn’t find a well enough equipped unit for my liking.

    spartanatreyu ,
    @spartanatreyu@programming.dev avatar

    What are you doing that makes having 64gb ram useful?

    ede OP ,

    I develop software and do a lot of PoC with VMs and containers.

    areyouevenreal ,

    They already answered this:

    I’m in DevSecOps, and do a lot of heavy development and testing, as well as PoCs. Ideally, I’d have 128GB of RAM but laptops aren’t quite there yet. The HD is a Samsung SSD.

    spartanatreyu ,
    @spartanatreyu@programming.dev avatar

    I can’t see your comment about heavy dev and testing.

    I’m curious about what exactly is chewing up that much RAM. Do you have a ridiculous amount of containers running? Or a big ram disk or something?

    areyouevenreal ,

    It’s not my comment. You are talking to the completely wrong person. Go look at their comments.

    jcarax ,

    Ah, I think to get 64GB from a Thinkpad you’d have to move up to a P series, and even the P16s and P14s that are based on the T16 and T14 will be significantly warmer and louder than those others. They’re very much tuned for performance. Unfortunately, Lenovo is soldering RAM far more on their AMD models than the Intel models, so you won’t be able to run above spec.

    boonhet ,

    Asahi is kinda unfinished, you’d need to run MacOS on it to get that sweet 10-25hour battery life probably. Many things don’t work yet either.
