  • my annoyance with his output aside, can we make it so that you can't use "beautiful" on your own shit? others can say your stuff is, you can't go "I created a beautiful xy".

  • self-hosted i2p+qbittorrent beginner quickstart

    Jump

  • looks easy enough, will try, thank you.

    tbh, looked at the thing some while back and noped out when I saw "java" in there; absolutely irrational, I know - just can't stand the thing. cool that there's an alternative.

  • Tesla's Cybertruck flop is historic. The brand collapse is even worse

    Jump

  • I would like nothing more (well, there's a few things I'd like more, but for the purposes of this we'll let it stand) than for this fucker to get hurt and for this shit business to implode.

    but nothing close to that is happening. sales that are lower than before indicate that there are still sales, nazi sled image notwithstanding. the P/E multiple is still through the roof. there aren't liquidity issues apparent.

    this might be an indication that things might be moving the right way, but at present, nothing is "collapsing".

    and even if alla that somehow materializes, this doesn't even touch the fucker in the slightest, it is inconceivable how much he's got.

    so, this is a cope article.

  • Is an Intel N100 or N150 a better value than a Raspberry Pi?

    Jump

  • the true value is in discarded laptops, skylake or newer. a quick search in my local marketplace finds double-digits of those under $40, with busted screens and other failings, which aren't important for e.g. headless deployment.

    they got low-power, capable CPUs to boot, you get a shitton of connectivity, storage options, etc. power brick included (gotta buy one for a raspi) and you don't dick around with arm64 packages and SD cards. if you don't need video decoding, you can go even older.

    woudn't put too much trust in recommendations from dudes that rely on you constantly buying new shit, as their income depends on it.

  • What are your favorite nature documentaries that DO talk about human beings, but NOT in a way that sounds like humans just suck?

    Jump

  • if you see nothing wrong with asking for an alternative to films DOCUMENTING reality, I don't know what to tell you.

    also, you used the L-word, so obligatory downvote.

  • Tesla's Cybertruck flop is historic. The brand collapse is even worse

    Jump

  • yeah, this is a "cope" article from dudes I've never heard of before. nothing is collapsing, the shit is still worth insane multiples of P/E, they still sell HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of model 3s (close to 400K per annum) and this joke of a "journalist" conflates the unpopularity of the (higly impractical and niche) cybertruck with "teslas".

  • MX Linux MX-23.6 Libretto review - A bundle of awesome

    Jump

  • to each his own, but I can't stand this clown. he desperately wants to come off as this wise, cranky, tell-it-like-it-is one-of-the-guys, but the often cretinous takes permeating his works are off-putting. the evil elites in charge of opensource not thinking about people with mech drives in 2024, the abject "horror" that's systemd, his "helpful" notes on bugs in five year old software, for my money the dude can get bent.

    so when he likes something it immediately prompts me to do the inverse; not that it's needed in the case of MX.

  • lemmy to mastodon?

    Jump

  • thank you, very thorough. are them messages public somewhere, on my or their profile or whathaveyou?

  • lemmy to mastodon?

  • guess I'm fucking stupid, no understando how to do that. help please?

  • Alternative OS for Lenovo Tablet

    Jump

  • dude, I mean come on - which lenovo tablet? woulda taken you like two seconds to include the model. intel? arm? config?

  • Curious about performance of nouveau on old laptops with discrete graphics

    Jump

  • don't know about that latitude, but for the thinkpad you'd do well to disable the nvidia graphics in BIOS setup. intel graphics is adequate for daily stuff and you can actually use the thing as a mobile device i.e. on battery,

  • Support / options for laptop in tablet mode?

    Jump

  • mint uses X11 which should be considered legacy at this point. wayland (Gnome, Plasma) has all the touch and dock/undock and rotate and pen etc goodies. try it out from a liveUSB and decide for yourself.

  • Reevaluating my password management

    Jump

  • this one, OP. no need to introduce the horror that's a:

    • hosted app (why?!)
    • client app is electron crapware
    • the client app doesn't even have full functionality, you have to use the web UI for some tasks

    edit: I'm obviously speaking about the bitwarden/vaultwarden horror. keepassXC is none of them things.

  • Reevaluating my password management

    Jump

  • I used enpass for years and was a happy user. one day it prompted me for some re-authentication bullshit security theater. although in that instant it was an easy task, took me all of 10 seconds, it demonstrated a scary amount of power they had as I couldn't bypass it and access my data. from that point on, its days were numbered.

    the second issue is the export functionality that was seriously lacking and I had to resort to 3rd party converter tools to convert it to keepassXC; no way that flew by their QC, it had to be intentional.

  • it's by design, those are harassment tactics. there is no way that you can add a correspondent as "safe" and someone you want to receive comms from, even if you've communicated before and/or you have them in your address book. they want you to use gmail, not email.

  • you're fine using lineageOS with microG and utilising it for cloud messaging, i.e. notifications. the actual content of the notfication doesn't go through google (or apple), a push message just signals the telegram client there's activity. then the telegram client wakes up, fetches the message from telegram servers, constructs the notification in-app and then displays it.

    google doesn't have access to the contents of it, but harvests lotsa metadata that microG (as opposed to full-featured play store services) somewhat ameliorates.

    having said that, you should make every effort to ditch telegram as well, for a buncha reasons.

  • External monitor power management issues

    Jump

  • you're running way too old a distro for what you want. debian 12 has its merits as a server, you install it and leave it be and it just works.

    what you want - fluidity with power management, dock/undock, etc - although achievable with tweaking this and that isn't being worked on, not on X, not on debian 12, so it's not like those things will eventually get there. so you need a semi-modern distro, like ubuntu or fedora or even trixie.

    wayland isn't new, it's default on a lot of distros since 2021 or so, so you can be sure that your use case was previosly met and solved. costs you nothing to boot e.g. F42 off a USB and try it out (has to be 42 as earlier live sessions default to X11). if you have lots of RAM, add the rd.live.ram switch so it copies the image to RAM and everything is super-snappy for testing and it doesn't touch your SSD.

  • TIL about Koshiro Tanaka, a Japanese salaryman who left to join the Muhajadeen and taught them karate

    Jump

  • well if tanaka is their shidoshi then they shoud show us the dim-mak

  • What type of piracy do you think will become harder to do over time?

    Jump

  • piracy didn't start with the internet and won't end on it. like with porn, it always finds a way.
