  • I haven't tried the alpha. Maybe I'll spin up a VM later.

    Its just feeling a little old. Missing out on newer features and more modern looking ui. Nothing critical, just nice to have.

  • a post from last year

    FTFY

  • Thinking about making the move from Pop!_OS. Pop has been good, and it's not like I need to be on the latest thing, but it's still on Gnome 42 I think. Pop is starting to feel a bit long in the tooth.

  • On that day in 1989 in tienniman squre, nothing of interest happened.

  • KDE Connect as another uas suggested.

    Only buggy issue I have is that I use a VPN on my phone to access my local network when away from home. I have the VPN set up with Hairpinning so I don't have to disconnect from the VPN while at home which occasionally causes issues on my steam deck as the version of KDE Connect on the steam deck does not appear to have an easy way to connect to device via IP. On my desktop and laptop I run Pop!_OS and use GS Connect which gives me an option to connect to device via IP so I have less issues with my phone just randomly not appearing on those computers.

  • Came here to comment on how smokers seem to congregate specifically around doors to public buildings (businesses, hotels, restaurants, ect) despite having had legislation for years that requires them to be anywhere from 5-10 metres from any inlet to a building (air vent, hvac, door, window, etc)

  • Back in the day I ran a pfsense VM on ESXi before broadcom bought them. I found it easier to just purchase a cheap Unifi AP and spin up a VM for the Unifi controller app (I'm assuming you can still run that on your own hardware, its been a few years). I think I got a UAP 6 lite or something like that. If I recall it was about $130 CAD with the PoE injector.

    Techincally its not ideal to run your firewall on the same device as other things, but I never had any issues.

    Also, does the mini PC have multiple NICs? You will have a bad time if it does not.

  • Its not a question of where he grips it. Its a simple matter of weight ratios.

  • I've been pretty happy with my Proton mail/simple login combo (simple login was bought by proton not that long ago).

    In regards to your comments elsewhere in this thread, it can be exhausting at times trying to be perfect in regards to privacy. Just take it one day at a time and even one decision at at time. Just because you gave away info before doesn't mean that it's pointless to take one little piece back.

  • Brain rot, is he orange?

  • Conditioning us to expect it?

  • I guess it's not his day for the brain cell...

  • They abandoned letting you use the Signal app to send and recieve SMS. You still need to get a code via SMS to activate your Signal account. I believe this is what they are referring to.

  • I mean the pixel a series is great. I have a 6a and my wife has a 7a. But you'd have to compromise on the 3.5mm headphone jack and the SD card reader.

    As previously mentioned the Xperia is probably the only option that meets everything except the price. Last I checked the Xperia is like $2-2.5k.

    I wouldn't recomend used that much as all phones basically have an expiry date with only having so many versions of android.

  • That's a typo, it should read: "No. More plastic!"

  • Personally I'd say if you're coming from a Mac, go Pop!_OS. If you're coming from Windows, go Linux mint. Both have the option to run from a USB to test before installing.

  • Line MUST go up.

  • You star wars fans certainly are a contentious bunch.
