Who’s paying who 2.4M?

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

That’s terrible

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

Bring back the standard DIN design. Then we can all change out our head unit with something that has Garmin but doesn’t affect the physical buttons on the dash below it.

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

Like running Windows in a VM with the program? I really don’t want Windows in my life if possible

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

I’m getting Windows out of my life. I’ll look into Wine again

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

I totally get what you’re saying. Luckily for me the program just runs formulas so I can figure out for instance what size plenum, what length runners, what size turbo, etc. I need. I’m not using it to flash a tune as my engine is too old for that fancy stuff

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

I have previously used VirtualBox successfully. I am really trying to stay away from Windows if at all possible. If I absolutely had to I might run a VM with WinXP or Vista just for it

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

Thank you. I’ll be sure to that I have the libraries I need

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

That looks like a pretty nifty OS. If I can’t get the software working via Wine or something I’ll definitely try this before Windows in a VM

Are there any Windows-exclusive programs you use?

I had to test/fix something at work and I set up a Windows VM because it was a bug specific to Windows users. Once I was done, I thought, “Maybe I should keep this VM for something.” but I couldn’t think of anything that wasn’t a game (which probably wouldn’t work well in a VM anyway) or some super specific enterprise...

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

I tried Lutris first and it was okay but left something to be desired. I switched to Heroic and am in love with it. It works so well and the UI is great

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

Interesting. I use it on Linux and haven’t had the issue of uninstallable games. I wish Playnite had a Linux client

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

And DRM free stuff so when you purchase it and download it, you truly own it

My experience using Fedora Atomic (Budgie) for a month or two. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I would just like to preface this. This is the first blog post I’ve ever written, so please please please give me feedback if you can. I also didn’t intend on it being here on Lemmy, but Hugo is quite a complex tool that’ll take some time for me to understand. Webdev is not my cup of tea....

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

Can you elaborate on why new Linux users shouldn’t use an Atomic system? I’ve been looking to try one so I have no experience as of yet. My Dad wants to try Linux with his upcoming new computer. I was thinking Fedora Kinoite as from what I understand, they just work and have a very low chance of breaking. He doesn’t do anything beyond the basic computing tasks like web browsing, writing documents and spreadsheets, and archiving photos. Do you think it wouldn’t be good for him?

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

Very reasonable, thank you

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

I don’t yet know the scope of everything I might need, but right now I believe that a customer management system is the focus. A way to input their details and payment information to have an automatic recurring membership.

I don’t think I really need a way for them to view their account as it won’t have any fancy features. I just need to know that they are a member and have a membership renewal. They can sign up and cancel in person or over the phone (I’m not making it disgustingly hard for people to cancel like the large gyms).

On top of that I would imagine it would be nice for the software to keep track of my total number of patrons and thus a total income amount

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

I understand the payment will have to connect to the internet and be outsourced but I want all my customer data to stay on my server

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

There’s a lot to look into there. It covers quite a bit so it could work. I’ll research this for sure. Thank you a lot!

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

This looks to be just for writing out workout routines, not a client management software. It might be useful one day so thank you anyways

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

I did see the subscriptions module. Once you add enough modules it becomes a paid service. I have yet to find info on if Odoo is subscription based or a one time payment. I don’t mind paying for a software but do not want a subscription service.

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

Okay I see. I’ll have to check how much it is. So this can be self hosted for free with the tradeoff of having to figure out how to do that? If that’s the case then I could even start off with the ease of the subscription and over time get my self hosting setup figured out.

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

Wow, Akaunting looks really great. It seems simple and upgradable if my needs change over time. I have the ability to self host and even make a one time payment instead of subscribing to their services if I want. Thank you!

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

I’ll keep them in mind when I design my network. Thank you

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

I am confused as to what this is exactly. Is it some type of operating system that makes installing certain software easy like Docker or something?

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

Someone else mentioned ERPnext too. It looks interesting. Certainly a possibility. Thank you

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

I’m not opposed to tried and true simple solutions. I think my wife would find it much easier with an automated system however. I really need a way for people to pay for their memberships and keep track of that and I have no background with this stuff. I think having a system that’s already designed for this would make opening the gym less daunting. I appreciate the thought

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

That’s good to know. I’ll look into the Docker image. Thank you

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

I see. Thank you

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

Use Tenacity instead

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

Kodi via LibreElec on a RaspberryPi in a Flirc case with the Flirc remote.

Streaming pirated content used to bother me but now I see it as these streaming companies steal my data, give me ads after I pay for the service, and if I “purchase” something it’s not actually mine, not DRM free, and they have the tendency to remove that so called purchased content due to licensing issues.

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

I haven’t personally used it but Bazzite is a custom image based off of Fedora 39 with preinstalled gaming software and it’s atomic

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

Thanks for the info! This is really useful to know and definitely puts me off a little. I would hope installing another OS would preserve the device features. I started to look into “Manjaro Gaming Edition.” It all looks to be from a few years ago and based on XFCE. However on the device’s website it mentions a Plasma desktop so I wonder if they did a special version for this. One can hope it’ll be a better kept version of the OS from what you said.

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

I thought the same thing but looked out of curiosity and was presently surprised. Glad it wasn’t a Rokchip of some kind or it wouldn’t be so powerful

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

I wonder that too. What do these things normally go for? High hundreds to just over a thousand? I wonder if you were to install HoloISO if all the hardware features would still work properly.

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

Exactly my thoughts! The touchpads were key

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

I 100% agree with everything you said. It seems like devices with the hardware that this tend to go for around a grand or a little more

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

Check out ETA Prime on YouTube. He has lots of videos on the 7840U at 1080P. It can play modern games at 1080P at low to mid settings generally.

sic_semper_tyrannis OP ,

I just read this in their FAQ: “We can’t tell the exact price yet. However it will be at the lower end of Steamdeck pricing.”

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

Why do you say he’s an idiot?

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

Whatever the commenter deems it’s definition, I would like to hear why they said he’s an idiot

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

Thank you. That would make the most sense. Would still be nice to hear the commentor’s reasons

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

He also made Bitcoin legal tender

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

I tried finding a company who sold those windows in my city here in the USA and failed.

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

Thank you. I’ll look into that option

Any suggestions for overcoming addiction to capitalist big tech social media and streaming etc?

I’ve tried getting into peertube to have something to watch. I’m exploring copyleft music on open audio / funkwhale. I’m on here in lemmy as of this week. I’m playing with mastodon and the fediverse. I’ve tried studying psychology and psychology-adjacent territory like Deleuze and Guattari and Foucault and Derrida so I...

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

Good job starting, that’s the hardest part. It takes time to ween yourself away. Make it inconvenient to check social media. Delete the apps and make yourself login to the webapp every time. Kodi is a good streaming platform if you’re okay with piracy.
