Except many like mine don’t have that option. The best they have is “optimized” charging that tries to only hit full when you go to unplug it.

areyouevenreal OP ,

Yep, installed my first Linus Distro in primary school at about 11 yo. Now I am 23.

In all seriousness while I think FreeBSD and GhostBSD are very cool, and have some interesting server applications they do have some annoying limitations. It’s not really their fault either, it sucks being the 4th most common platform/kernel/whatever. The FreeBSD people seem less uptight about working with proprietary software as it’s not the same kind of Open Source Linux is because it’s not copyleft. So you can use their code wherever even in closed source products. They include things like Nvidia drivers straight in their repos.

As for what makes them different/interesting: Linux is very capable but also kind of over engineered, confusing, and somewhat jank. BSDs are generally more simple. You would think this makes them less capable but aside from software support they often have more useful features. BSDs had Jails before Containers where supported properly on Linux.

BSD is almost what Linux is to Windows: faster, more stable, less annoying, and with a fraction of the users, hardware and software support. It’s also a bit more complex to do certain things out of the box - though GhostBSD does give you a GUI and decent installer.

Also BTRFS on Linux feels like this:

Child: “Can we have ZFS?”

Mother: “We have ZFS at home.”

ZFS at home: BTRFS

Like it’s good that it exists, a lot better than other OSes had for a while, but it just doesn’t compare to the stability and performance of the original. There are some areas where it’s a bit more flexible and that can be useful, but generally it’s just not as good. Pretty much Linux, then Apple, then Microsoft all tried copying ZFS, only worse. Heck it actually came from Sun Microsystems, then got Open Sourced allowing the FreeBSD people among others to port it to their system. Linux now has BCacheFS which might be even better but it’s too early to tell.

Sorry for the long response. Thought I would explain some stuff while I am here.

areyouevenreal OP ,

Glad you enjoyed. I would give one of the BSDs a go. NomadBSD is a good option to try out as it’s designed as a persistent live system that runs from a USB drive. Let me know if you have any questions, though I am far from an expert on this yet.

areyouevenreal OP ,

I tried that method. It’s seriously borked if you ever want transcoding to work. Jellyfin has a customized version of ffmpeg they used that just dosen’t exist on FreeBSD to the best of my knowledge. You can maybe make it work with the FreeBSD version but it would be an ugly hack.

areyouevenreal OP ,

Hahahaha, duck you

areyouevenreal OP ,

How did you set that path exactly?

areyouevenreal ,

Likely they are referring to birds being in a monophyletic clade alongside dinos, but by that logic, humans are monkeys.

I mean we pretty much are. Aside from going hairless and standing upright how much different are we really?

Computers are further removed from rocks than a dinosaur is from a mamal.

areyouevenreal ,

Are you having some kind of aneurysm? We aren’t talking about raw materials, we are talking about evolution and how similar things are. Humans are functionally still animals. Computers are not functionally just rocks.

areyouevenreal ,

I mean they aren’t instant and have to be within a fairly short distance of the thing you want to sterilize in order to work because they are absorbed by the air. Something like a pool would be practically impossible as water also absorbs UV and a pool is too big to penetrate all the way through just from the sides or bottom. It only works for drinking water because you pass said water through a tube that must be fairly narrow.

Oh yeah and an X-ray could sterilize all the way through an object, not just the surface. Very useful for making things like microwave meals.

    Okay this is kinda backwards. Alcohol is worse than nicotine. Nicotine withdrawal doesn’t cause seizures or death. Nicotine is less destructive to an addict than alcohol is, although it’s more addictive overall.

    While cannabis and psychedelics should be legalized and can help many people they aren’t without risks. They can cause temporary psychosis and permanent sensory abnormalities/minor hallucinations. In some cases they can trigger diseases like schizophrenia. It’s all dependent on how your brain is wired and what happens when you are tripping/high.

    There was actually an off-duty airline pilot that nearly caused a major accident when traveling in the cockpit jump seat after taking mushrooms a few days before hand. He jumped up atns tried to shut off the engines, and very nearly succeeded. There is a great mentor pilot video on it if you can find it. It’s a great example of what can go wrong with psychedelic drugs. That man ended up in jail btw.

    areyouevenreal ,

    100% get you. I just thought it needed pointing out how bad alcohol is. Like you could die of lung cancer from smoking at 60 or from alcohol poisoning at 30. It’s one of those things that’s killed people the first time doing it.

    areyouevenreal ,

    Someone did the math. It’s $315,000 not $150.000. So plenty to live on and still have some left for investment.

    As for winning capitalism: capitalism is a travesty that’s killing both people and the planet. I would rather people stop talking about winning such a system - there are truly no victors. To be the victor in capitalism is to be a cell of a tumor that slowly kills its host; you only live until you finish killing the host or the host fights back. We should kill and consume those responsible for capitalism like macrophages consume cancer.

    areyouevenreal ,

    The issue here is capitalism will destroy the environment so you won’t have anywhere to go eventually, at least if you’re not a billionaire. This is what I mean about killing the host, the bourgeoisie are slowly killing society and the planet.

    areyouevenreal ,

    A dead one? Maybe you mean Bill Gates?

    areyouevenreal ,

    I wasn’t saying bill gates was dead. I was asking if the only good billionaire was a dead billionaire. I was then suggesting you might believe Bill Gates is the one good billionaire. They were separate possible answers I was trying to think of.

    areyouevenreal ,

    Do they promote crypto as a solution to world problems? If not how are they a crypto fash.?

    areyouevenreal ,

    Either way I suspect Linus himself is only a small component of the problem if it exists

    It’s easy for employees to do stuff you don’t know about.

    Of course he is still a capitalist and is as guilty as any other “well behaved” capitalist.

    areyouevenreal ,

    That’s a good point to be fair. I think they have an external team now thankfully.

    areyouevenreal ,

    Did she say who called her that or who she took her complaints to? Linus Media Group is a fairly large company these days. We also don’t know yet how much of what she said is actually true.

    areyouevenreal ,

    Do you have some sources?

    areyouevenreal ,

    Honestly don’t bother. Ublock is better at blocking ads. Pihole is for devices on your network that can’t use conventional ad blockers and is less effective.

    areyouevenreal ,

    Or you could just switch DHCP over to the Pi-hole. Most ISP routers support turning off DHCP even if you can’t change their DNS.

    areyouevenreal OP ,

    What’s a cie?

    areyouevenreal OP ,

    Why use a VPN instead of a proxy? I found configuring a proxy much easier. I hate to say it but that stack is too simple for my setup. It’s missing half the stuff I use. I have also been avoiding qbittorrent because of issues with it forgetting login details.

    areyouevenreal OP ,

    a) I am not using unraid

    b) I was aware of using tailscale or a VPN. I don’t really want to do that as it requires running my whole connection through home Internet.

    c) I also want to setup a reverse proxy even if I do only use it locally just so I am not dealing with ports and IPs. No bookmarks are not practical I have too many as it is.

    d) At this point I am doing this the “right” way or at least the complex way because I can.

    (Constructively) What is your least favorite distro & why?

    I’ve been distrohopping for a while now, and eventually I landed on Arch. Part of the reason I have stuck with it is I think I had a balanced introduction, since I was exposed to both praise and criticism. We often discuss our favorite distros, but I think it’s equally important to talk about the ones that didn’t quite hit...

    areyouevenreal ,

    What are your reasons? This is a fairly broad amount of things to hate.

    areyouevenreal ,

    Even marxists don’t simplify the classes as much as that diagram suggests. It’s missing peasants, artisans and the petty bourgeois. It’s also never been as simple as capitalist vs working class. Capitalists regularly fight amongst themselves as do the working class. This whole idea of class struggle being the only struggle is so oversimplified it’s kinda silly.

    I don’t think it’s honest to frame it in generational language either btw. Though that is a component of it.

    areyouevenreal ,

    Seriously, what end could splitting hairs over “peasants” or “artisans” possibly serve (And are those hundreds of years old terms even relevant in our world with our technology?)? Even the petit bourgeois is oppressed by the owning class, the system convincing them that a “middle class” exists is part of the fucking con, and the whole fucking point is to see how irrelevant these semantics are and fucking unite so that we can have a better society for everyone… 🤦‍♀️

    You haven’t read marxist or anarchist theories very well if this is what you think.

    Artisans are any one man business. They don’t have employers to exploit them that’s why they are an important class in marxist analysis.

    Petty bourgeois aren’t middle class necessarily; it refers to small business owners. They are exploiters of the workers beneath them while being exploited by others. Small time land lords would be petit bourgeois for example. These people are in essence part of the “owner class” because they own a business or building.

    Peasants are not considered to be a revolutionary class because they aren’t the proletariat. Not a problem in western societies but some countries still have peasants.

    all of the systemic barriers we face (racism, sexism, ableism, querrphobia, and so on) exist to serve capitalism and those who benefit from it.

    You don’t think racism affects business owners or landlords? Or sexism? Or anything else?

    This is the kind of assertion given without evidence that made me leave marxists behind. I am sick to death of people claiming all these problems are because of capitalism. If anything capitalism has helped address some of these issues like sexism because women not working is bad for the system. In fact not fully utilizing people because of prejudice in general is bad for capitalism which is all about efficiency and exploitation.

    Edit: also policy regarding peasants is one area where marxism and anarchism differ significantly from what little I understand of anarchism.

    areyouevenreal ,

    Why are all the marxists coming out of the wood work? Y’all can’t run a society for shit. Why are you still here and existing?

    China was one of your experiments that went wrong. Go and build a working model for a socialist or communist society and I might listen. Until then you have nothing to add. Anarchists had better luck than you guys and you killed them for it.

    areyouevenreal ,

    Which country do you live in? I live in the UK so unless you are here it’s mostly irrelevant what you vote for.

    areyouevenreal ,

    So I will take it you don’t live here and I don’t need your vote.

    areyouevenreal ,

    You’re the one who asked if I needed your vote lmao. I don’t. You’re just annoyed you don’t have any leverage over me.

    areyouevenreal ,

    So are you a marxist or something else?

    areyouevenreal ,

    I think lemmygrad.ml is known for brigading. As for actual hate speech I think the instance this article is talking about is transphobic based on what others have said in this comment section.

    areyouevenreal ,

    No offense but lemmy has its own brain rot and echo chambers. Not being exposed to the majority of the public reinforces a lot of this. You’re just exchanging one kind of circlejerk for another.

    areyouevenreal ,

    Missing the fact Open Source software is generally more secure because more people are looking at the code. You don’t need to see the source to find a vulnerability, you do need it to patch one properly though.

    A vaginal ring that discreetly delivers anti-HIV drugs will reach more women (www.npr.org)

    Women in a growing number of African countries will soon have access to a vaginal ring to help reduce their risk of acquiring HIV from an infected partner. And they can use it discreetly, without their partner or anyone else knowing. The ring is inserted and slowly releases the antiretroviral drug dapivirine for a month, when it...

    Why would PrEP cause an increase in the other diseases?

    areyouevenreal ,

    So it’s not a direct result of using PrEP?

    areyouevenreal ,

    I use a finger trackball. I have no idea how that grip fits in here.

    areyouevenreal ,

    Does all of this require flatpack specific APIs?

    areyouevenreal ,

    Does it work with snapcraft?

    areyouevenreal ,

    There is no need to downvote someone over a question.

    areyouevenreal ,

    Ah fairs

    areyouevenreal ,

    20 Logitech mouse? What do you mean? Also why do you hate mac so much? Is Microsoft not also a greedy evil corporation?

    areyouevenreal ,

    Okay now you’re making sense.
