I was at the make excuses stage until late last year when my excuses were fixed. Booted my windows install maybe four times since then, and that was mostly to grab files from it haha.

Zeoic ,

You seem to be under the impression that the “buckets” in this case are all or nothing. They are talking about partitioning the drives and raiding the partitions. The way he describes slowly moving data to an ever increasing raid array would most certainly work, as it is not all or nothing. These buckets have fully separate independent chambers in them that are adjustable at will. Makes leveling them possible, just tedious and risky.

Zeoic ,

Because it is quite accurate

Zeoic ,

Creators can view their like and dislike percentage, and around when the extension came about, many large youtubers were able to confirm the accuracy of the guesstimate that the extension gives you (on new content after the dislike indicator was removed). There are enough users and historical data to make the calculations reeeeally close.

I dont know about mtls, but Obsidian with the Self-Hosted Live Sync community plugin has end to end encrypted sync between any device. There are a ton of plugins to make it capable of doing whatever you want. I have it syncing between Windows, Linux, and Android currently.

The anti-AI sentiment in the free software communities is concerning. (lemmy.world)

Whenever AI is mentioned lots of people in the Linux space immediately react negatively. Creators like TheLinuxExperiment on YouTube always feel the need to add a disclaimer that “some people think AI is problematic” or something along those lines if an AI topic is discussed. I get that AI has many problems but at the same...

These days, it is often misused by ignorant people because it sounds derogatory.

Nah brave is fine. Just disable the crypto stuff like everyone else

Zeoic ,

Wasn’t aware of that last one, thats not great…

Im not married to brave and would switch if i found something better, but the first two points seem like a non-issue to me tbh. The auto complete is coming from their free search engine. What do you think happens when a service with ongoing costs is free?

As for the second one, I did mention to just turn off all the crypto stuff… The way they do it is fairly common with general donations elsewhere anyway.

I just find brave works well on all my devices, and has a good cross device sync. Nothing else I have tried could match it.

Zeoic ,

I have tried it out a few times in the last couple of years and inevitably run into sites that just won’t work with it. Especially at work. I keep hoping it gets better, but it never seems to.

Zeoic ,

You can also just select the “for work or school” option, then it lets you make a local account because it assumes you will domain join it later, which you dont need to do.

Zeoic ,

Just a couple weeks ago I installed it for a friend and there was a domain join later button

Zeoic ,

I dont have a DE reccomendation, but for gnome you can use the dash to panel extension for a KDE / Windows like taskbar that will sync pinned items across monitors. The multi monitor sync works pretty well on it.

What tips or resources would you recommend to someone who knows about Linux and wants to self-host, but has no experience self-hosting?

I have several years of Linux experience and I know how to fix my own problems, and I have experience self-hosting using Docker and Docker Compose, but I really feel that I don’t know how to self-host and that I just copy and paste commands without understanding it, I would really like to learn how to self-host by myself but I...

Proxmox is a hypervisor, which is an OS that is built to run Virtual Machines (proxmox also runs containers). It is open source and can be installed for free, just like any other linux distribution, the same way Windows is installed. There are tons of tutorials out there on how to use it.

From there, you could setup some popular containers, including nextcloud, or even install full OS’s in virtual machines to install software manually on them. It is a great first step, especially if you have limited access to hardware.

Zeoic ,

It would completely eliminate the bios issue, would it not? It would prevent them from ever needing to enter the bios at all.

Zeoic ,

I’ve been pretty happy with Kagi (it’s a paid search engine, though).

Zeoic ,

Sorry, but that doesn’t really work. I can expand your terminal answer as much as you did the gui one. You have to open the terminal, use the man page for apt to find out how to search for a packages name, search for a package and hopefully find it, then you need to run another command with that package name to install it.

Meanwhile, I can shorten the gui example to “It take me two seconds to use the search bar and click install”

They all have their ups and downs, guis are just easier and more intuitive for people who don’t live and breath terminal commands. Terminals can be extremely confusing for them, having never used one before.

Zeoic ,

Thats just not true… there are many very popular applications that are not in package managers

Zeoic ,

I think we will have to agree to disagree. Figuring out the software store guis is so incredibly easy. Install button installs, search box searches. They are all the same. Dont need to know what an update button is doing, because average people wouldn’t even know what is happening while doing it via terminal anyways.

Searching is also 100x times easier in the guis. You dont have a million other packages match your search (ever try apt search chrome?)

Though you are right, I had some bias with the man page bit. Average users wouldn’t even know what man is, making it even harder for them. They would have to open a web browser, describe what they want to do somehow, and hope a copy pasted command does what they want.

Zeoic ,

Ehhh, any time I try a new distro I realize after a half dozen apps dont work, that its because its using wayland by default. X11 just works, wayland is a mess.

Zeoic ,

The 970 unfortunately doesn’t have h265 hardware in it. The only gpu in that generation that does is the 960, as it was released later than the others and was one of the first to get h265. I ended up just getting a p400, and it’s been rock solid.

There are chat groups with usenet? How does that work? I have only ever seen it used for downloading stuff.

Looks interesting! The ui looks miles ahead of NPM, so I might need to check it out

How is that a clickbait title?? If this is clickbait, there is no possible title that wouldn’t be…

Looking for Cloud Storage Replacement, but I don't like NextCloud

I’m looking for something to replace cloud storage for myself and family. I’ve tried to use/like NextCloud but honestly I despise it. The UI/UX really bothers me, and administering it is a pain. It also just does way more that I want or need....

Zeoic ,

That looks really interesting! I will have to add it to my list to check out

Zeoic ,

I use homepage currently. It is by far my favourite dashboard app, and i have given 5 or 6 of them a try before this.

It’s just so quick to load and simple to use. It’s just a couple yaml files!

How to drop files from Android to home server?

I’m looking for an easy way to upload files from my Android smartphone to my home server. is there a - ideally dockerized - solution for that? Some simple web GUI where I can click on “Upload” and the files will be saved to a certain directory on my home server?...

Zeoic ,

You could technically do this with Nextcloud, but that is definitely overkill just for a file drop.
The next best thing I can think of for this would be localsend with auto accept enabled.

Linux market share passes 4% for first time (arstechnica.com)

We see the nearly 33-year-old OS’s market share growing 31.3 percent from June 2023, when we last reported on Linux market share, to February. Since June, Linux usage has mostly increased gradually. Overall, there’s been a big leap in usage compared to five years ago. In February 2019, Linux was reportedly on 1.58 percent of...

What kind of things got worse with outlook? I still use it for work, and the ui has changed, sure, but still seems to do everything it used to. In fact, the progressive web app even works quite well on linux!

Zeoic ,

Ahh, gotcha. Last I saw it was called Windows Live Mail and was already just suuuper basic. I am kind of impressed they managed to make it worse haha

PoE Single Board/Micro/Mini Computer/Server

I have an 8gb Raspberry Pi 4 that has been a workhorse for years. I keep it for my not intense but essential networking purposes, NetBoot.xyz, Homepage, etc., because I can run it over PoE (edit: Power over Ethernet), so it is always on as long as my network is up....

Zeoic ,

PoE++ Type 4 goes up to 100w, its Type 3 that goes to 60w. Why the hell they didnt just call it PoE+++ I’ll never understand

Zeoic ,

My Samsung Z Fold 5 has been awesome as well. Im too lazy to go grab a tablet, id rather always have a decent sized screen with me

Zeoic ,

Yeah, home assistant is tiny… I’m not sure what he expects? Does he need it to run on a pi zero or something? Lol

Not just the US, Canada is like this too.

Zeoic ,

Ehh, i dont really see a problem driving that long as long as you start it when you first get up for the day. I do 8 hour drives multiple times a year to go see family and only stop after 6 hours to gas up, then continue on. With how quick gasing up is with paying at the pump these days, 3 minutes of stop doesn’t sound to far fetched.

Zeoic ,

Same here in canada, but we also have to deal with winter being 50% of the year here. Charging and batteries need to come a loooong way before we can even think about having one…

Zeoic ,

It still operates fine in winter, its just that you need to expend so much more energy that you lose half the range

Zeoic ,

I live in canada, and the charging infrastructure is very bad here. In fact, my usual drive probably isn’t even possible in the winter due to a lack of charging points with how little range the cars have in winter here.

Zeoic ,

Im sure you could mount a rollup projector screen anywhere you would put your TV, but your first point is huge. The light issue is a huge non starter

I have seen the word Tankies a ton since I joined Lemmy, but it seems like people use it for almost anybody that is political at all, lol. Is the definition of it that google gives accurate?

Zeoic , (edited )

Some kind of easy notification system and panel/dock/taskbar notification emblems. The support for stuff like that is incredibly spotty right now and is one of the final things preventing me from switching off windows.

EDIT: Have found a decent solution to this via Dash to Panel. I have been running Zorin OS for over the last month now on my main PCs!

Zeoic ,

Wouldn’t that be true for everything then? 3,400C is pretty special circumstances in my book, yet we say tungsten melts.

Zeoic ,

Have you looked into Lifepo4 batteries lately? Their capacity and deep cycle life are quite price competitive these days, even up here in Canada.

Colour is closer to you than you think (look up)

To be fair, I dont think the people growing up with calculators in class and using chat gpt will be using cash at all. Not sure the last time I have even held physical currency, honestly. While your splitting a bill part might remain, we dont really need to worry about calculating change anymore.

Zeoic ,

While im from the early “Not much in life needs manual calculation, and if it does we already have a calculator on us at all times” generation haha.

Honestly, I could work harder on practicing mental calculations even now, but I see vastly more value in continuing my learning of technology to improve my career and hobbies.

Zeoic ,

The main problem I have with that 300-mile range is in winter. 500 km of range in Canada would be enough for my purposes, but when winter hits and that range is massively decreased, it wouldn’t quite be enough anymore. With winter being basically half the year here in Ontario, it’s a huge downside.

Zeoic ,

To be fair, Windows doesn’t ask to install all the bloat, it just does it lol
