I am not especially tech-literate and very clumsy. I want to buy a thinkpad that I can set up as a privacy machine. I mostly use my computer for web browsing and messaging and don’t need something especially powerful, just something that can run bloated web pages easily and I won’t have to think about again for at least half...
I work in theoretical physics. Part of my job is discussing theory with the members of my team. The latest is a doozy. We might be able to observe alternate realities. No shit. Sight, sound, smell. The whole thing. In arbitrary resolution. Yes, impressive....
People who struggled with procrastination and have now stopped, what made you stop procrastinating? What do you think were the factors leading or contributing to your past procrastination and how did you stop or improve the situation?...
My uncle recently gave me an old Minix Neo X8-H Plus. It has been upgraded from the stock Android KitKat up to Lollipop, and it has been rooted. I have connected a USB DVD drive, but I haven’t tested it yet....

I have an MSN email account that I access through Outlook and I’ve had it for about 20 years now. All my important communications come to that email. Lately, I’ve been getting an unbelievable amount of junk mail. I used to be able to block the sender and things would be fine for a while. Not so anymore! I emptied the junk...
Perhaps this is a cultural thing, but doublespeak seems to be prevalent even in casual conversation
I’m playing with Buffstreams and Vipleague to get the US Open. That’s fine on desktop, where I can use Brave with uBlock to kill all the malware and bullshit....
I often daydream about how society would be if we were not forced by society to pigeon hole ourselves into a specialized career for maximizing the profits of capitalists, and sell most of our time for it....
I use homer as a fancy bookmark manager for my home server. But I hate updating the config file every time I add a new service. Are there any dashboards that allow you to update items with an API/using docker labels like Traefik?
I'm trying to use home-manager to install software on tumbleweed so that if I ever move to a new machine, I'd be able to install all of my software again by just running home-manager switch. For my terminal applications like zellij, zoxide, eza etc they installed and work fine....
Hi there! I’m curently using Pop OS linux as my daily machine to work with. Though sometimes I need to access my Mac Mini M1 and I’m looking on some good way to have remote access to my Mac without getting of my Linux workflow. Both my machines are on same LAN and connected via gigabit connection. I have tried using RustDesk...
I’ve definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is “smart” nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn’t require any of that before....
BunsenLabs was my favorite Linux distro back in the day. For years I’ve kept some of their old config files, &c… To use on my own version. But more and more they’ve become broken as things progress ever onward. I was just wondering if anyone knows what happened with them and if they may have moved on to other similar...
i recently played Syberia, Resonance, The Samaritan Paradox and Lamplight City. I’m looking for games along the same direction: 90s/2000s style adventure games. It could be really old games or also retro ones that have been released recently....
I have a specific goal. I need to work 760 hours to get a Permanent Resident card in my current country. I work part-time, so sometimes the no. of hours I work is 3.25 or 3.75. I need to tally up these hours with a goal of 760.
When I mean “specific,” I mean things like something dedicated to a certain genre, a certain video game, to gaming suggestions, to asking whether you should buy a certain game… anything that isn’t just one catch-all for any video gaming topic. So I’m not including the various !games@instance or !gaming@instance links....
Okay so im planning to buy a new m2 ssd for my elitedesk. I got a 256 gb m2 ssd today but it’s starting to fill up....
