There are people who think insulin dependency is a choice.

I bought an Optiplex 7050 SFF for $100 USD at the start of 2023. Upgraded it to an i7-7700, 32GB RAM, 300W PSU from an XE3 model (stock is 180W), and threw in a spare Nvidia K1200 Quadro for shits and giggles. Runs almost my entire suite of self-hosted applications without a hitch.

Well, to be fair, I actually bought it to use as a desktop and upgraded it accordingly. Then a few months later I decided to build a Ryzen system. Optiplex got moved to server duty.

I subscribed to a usenet service. Still figuring out how to use it 🤔

I would love to run Graphene OS, but their stance on root (“REEEEeEEeeEeEeEeEEEE iTs nOt sEcUrE aNyMoRe wHy WoULd yOu dO tHaT” Jesus fucking christ I’m aware of the risks now stop being a little bitch about it) drives me up the fucking wall.

Our society is 100% car centered. My kids’ schools are miles away from my house, my job is miles away, and you cannot convince me to ride a bike or walk when it’s over 100°F outside. Fuck that shit. I’m happy to take public transit, but any public transit available to me isn’t feasible because it would take literally 1.5-2 hours to get to work and back each way, which cuts down severely on my family time. And I can’t work from home either due to the nature of my job, which is maintaining the machines that build microchips.

Hundreds of miles? I think you misread. They’re several miles away.

Also it’s a lot easier said than done to just up and move somewhere more convenient. I don’t have that luxury, and telling me to do so will get you a big fat “go fuck yourself” from me for being so insufferable about it.

Now move along and go bug someone else with your luxury conveniences.

Mine returns a 404, but on purpose. Everything I want internet-facing is behind a cloudflare tunnel on appropriate subdomains.

Wow thanks, this fixed the issue perfectly, and it was so easy for a beginner like me!

Fucking drives me nuts.

I’m neither, but I do have a very small homelab. I get to imagine the spaghetti mess of cables in my virtualized system.

Programming and fields like it can be done remotely. Manufacturing cannot be done remotely (like you said). I work in a semiconductor fab and my job is most definitely not compatible with remote work. I would like to transition to a job where I can be remote though, at some point.

Looking at you, Docker compose files.

Docs: “make a docker-compose.yaml, it’s so easy!”

Me: “How?? Where?? What’s the syntax?? ANYTHING AT ALL?”

Some corner of a dusty website only three people have visited in the last two years: “here’s the syntax you need to use for these specific use cases, and you can put it anywhere as long as it’s consistent”

Jesus Fucking Christ is it really that difficult to be a little more specific with this kind of thing? This is why I didn’t start using Docker until very recently. Their docs absolutely suck balls for someone who isn’t already familiar with it.

Google beta testing new Pixel Call Screen, possibly with conversational AI (9to5google.com)

Google is testing this with some owners of the Pixel 6 and newer devices in the US. Tensor is clearly required and this suggests on-device AI is being leveraged. The goal is to “enhance our Call Screen capabilities and reduce robocalls, giving you time back and peace of mind.”...

I changed the voice on my P7P to a male voice. People stay on the line longer until it gets too the end, then they hang up.

What's the best open hardware cheap DIY NAS to toss on a router like OpenWRT?

I was thinking it would be nice to have for backups, but maybe even going as far as mounting ~/home to be able to run from multiple machines. I’m really asking where to get started looking without crashing into marketing department nonsense and search engine steering bias.

I ran Merlin for a couple years on an RT-N66U. Eventually switched to Tomato and was much happier with it.

It died a couple years ago. Replaced it with a Unifi Dream Machine. No ragrets.

I don’t know what your budget is, but I recently bought a Sabrent 4-bay housing for ~$230:

a.co/d/0enY6bO

It’s got USB-C 3.2, so transfer speeds are plenty quick, and each bay has it’s own locking door and dedicated power button for easy hot swapping. The only downside is that if there’s an unexpected sudden power loss, you have to manually turn each drive bay back on, and there’s no way to do it remotely.

lka1988 ,

It’s meant for hot swapping, so you don’t have to shut off the whole housing. But yeah, the fact that it doesn’t turn back on after a sudden power loss is… inconvenient. Mine is stationed at my parents’ place (they have gigabit fiber).

People complain about this as if it’s some sort of massive roadblock that nobody’s solved yet.

Magisk Hide handles this and has been around for years. Venture around on the relevant XDA forum and SEARCH

Open-source apps are consistently better than the average closed source app on the playstore (opinion)

Has anyone noticed that apps on F-Droid or that you just get from GitHub are just better than the ultra-popular apps on the play store? Most of them are open source and have no ads or trackers. But this isn’t true on the Play Store at all....

the official reddit app that is free and not restricted

Hahahahahaha

Oh you’re serious

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

That’s… Not a bad idea…
