  • People want 'dumbphones'. Will companies make them?

  • How to speed up accessing lots of files on another computer? Some kind of local cache?

  • What you suggest sounds a lot like the “Briefcase” that was in Windows 9x. I don’t know of something similar, especially not something integrated into Linux.

    The easiest way might be to setup SyncThing to share all of your different folders and then subscribe to those you need on your laptop. Just be aware that if you delete a file on your laptop it will also be deleted on your desktop on the next sync. Unsubscribe from the folder first before freeing up the disk space.

  • Online Content Is Disappearing

    Jump

  • I believe it's often because nobody does their own website anymore but instead uses managed services, e.g. Medium. Or bits of information, that would've been worth a blog post some while ago, end up on sites like StackOverflow, Reddit, etc.. And once these services want to monetise these contents, they usually start with limiting public access.

    And OTOH TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts are doing everything they can to further limit people's attention spans and get them addicted to those services. So the people capable of and/or interested in producing proper "content" are dwindling, too.

  • Especially gas-powered as they can then rev them all the time, raising the annoyance to completely new levels.

  • How much does it matter what type of harddisk i buy for my server?

  • Apart from the SMR vs. CMR, if your NAS will run 24/7 you need to make sure to use 24/7 capable drives or find a way to flash a 24/7-specific firmware/setting to a consumer drive. Normal consumer drives (e.g. WD Green) tend to have a lot of energy saving features, e.g. they park the drive heads after a few seconds of inactivity. This isn’t a problem with normal use as an external drive that only gets connected once in a while. But in a 24/7 NAS the drive will wake up lots of times and park again, wake up, park again … and these cycles kill the drive pretty fast.

  • I think that already happened and was called "The Fappening". You can still find it with Google.

  • Put your SSD into this case and enjoy proper CD/DVD/BluRay emulation, multiple VHDs and much more.

    EDIT: Not an ad, @Okus@lemmy.dbzer0.com . Just the only case that has all these features. And it's no affiliate link, so I don't even get anything if somebody clicks on it.

  • What makes you think there's no way of updating the firmware? Also, they could be made so that there's a simple API (like a serial device exposed via USB) and apps for Win/macOS/Linux to update the label. But I guess the demand was never there.

  • It’s a shame these never took off. I’d love for my various USB drives to have displays that show their labels and maybe even contents.

  • Apart from all the online tools there are also offline website builders like blocs (macOS/iPad - but there are similar tools for Windows as well) that let you design your website and will spit out the files you then just need to upload to any provider of your liking. It's basically a WYSIWYG static site generator.

  • Sounds like GitHub Pages.

    Apart from that, I like GRAV for small website projects. It works completely without a database (or in other words: it uses the filesystem as the database that it basically is) and backups/restores are simple copying everything to the right place.

  • I’ve started on EE PAYG at £15 per 30 days(!) (because I didn’t want to hold back with using data when out and about) and 2 months later got a call from them and they offered me a post-paid contract at a great price. I’m now paying £12.70 pcm for the same plus the benefits from being in a contract.
