I had an ATI all in wonder 9600. That card was very unique because it also had a built in TV tuner and AV capture card that could turn your PC into a DVR of sorts. It went into an agp slot before PCIe was a thing.

Signal. I use it anyway so it’s not an extra “bloated” app and I know all the secrets I send over the app are encrypted.

If you use a password manager, most have a notes feature that works well too.

Yes I have tried whole grains and they still taste sweet to me

Even so, its still difficult to avoid sugar in normal foods like bread. Even the nicer bread brands still have some amount of added sugar and I can taste it

That’s true. i do sometimes have issues with the ZFS package not compiling because of a too new kernel not being supported yet.

another recomendation for Fedora from me

Hmm, I put ketchup on scrambled eggs in the morning.

We have speed limits for a reason, why does everyone insist on ignoring them? Serious question, as I live in a mountainous area and cars are constantly crashing because people insist on speeding. The roads are winding and narrow with lots of traffic and wildlife, so you never really know what’s around the bend.

I use ext4 for all boot drives and root filesystems. Anything really important goes on a ZFS array. And for my Linux isos, I use a drive with ext4 + snapraid. The parity drive has xfs because ext4 has a 16tb file size limit.

Got rid of anything NTFS as it was unreliable and slow on Linux.

I live in a national park and the Govt just awarded a contract to a private company to build a fiber line to the villages for high speed internet, and the company building the thing will own the network while the govt is stuck paying the bill forever. So stupid imho. No private company should own a network that exists entirely on federal land, and everyone depends on .

I had a cis major and I didn’t have issues using Linux all that often. One class we had to write code in VisualStudio, before the Linux version existed. My professor was fine with me using my own IDE as long as the code compiled on Windows, which it did after adding about 3 lines of code to the start.

If we had shared documents they went in Google docs, and libre office, (open office at the time) docs were exported as PDF before submitting. I also had a Windows 10 VM ready to go just in case, but rarely used it.

Billionaires. Nobody ever needs that much wealth. Resources better used elsewhere for the public good.

LG, Nestlé, Coke-Cola, Amazon, TikTok, Temu, any big brand bank, ASUS, Johnson Outdoors brands (jetboil, scuba pro)

Edit:forgot Tyson foods and Hormel. Their fucking over chicken farmers.

I work in hospitality and our systems are completely down. No POS, no card processing, no reservations, we’re completely f’ked.

Our only saving grace is the fact that we are in a remote location and we have power outages frequently. So operating without a POS is semi-normal for us.

Not yet. It will be integrated in a layer point release

I’ve used backblaze b2 for almost 8 years now and it just works. I’ve never had any data lost by them in that time.

I just recently switched over to Storj.io as it a bit cheaper at only $4/TB as compared to B2 at $6/TB. Both are S3 compatible and work with just about every backup software out there. I have used Borg, Kopia and now Restic to do backups of important data. All 3 tools deduplicate all your data and reduces the amount of storage used. They also do encryption client side and are open source. They also have a built-in verification mechanism that checks the data is intact.

Works great. Setup a month ago and imported over 600 documents, both digital and scanned. Makes backup a lot easier too as everything is in one place now.

I’ve had a framework for 2 years now. It’s run fedora, manjaro (arch based) and Debian with no major issues. Manjaro had some problems with KDE and the high DPI screen. Sometimes the scaling was inconsistent between apps. Fedora just works.

Only hardware issue is the battery life is just not that great. And the trackpad doesn’t always work property, but I think that was a first generation issue that’s been resolved since.

The easiest way is to setup tailscale on the server, then share the server with the web interface. Your friends/family simply install the tailscale client, login, and it just connects like magic. No port forwarding or firewall configuration required. There’s plenty of how-tos out there.
