I don't really follow X, Bluesky, Instagram, TikTok, etc. so I basically live under a rock. Sometimes I ask dumb questions to try to understand people a little better. Apologies if my questions inadvertently offend anyone. I mean no harm.

  • Is this why they’re focusing on AI?

  • It's interesting how often I see memes here that require knowing so much non-obvious context to understand.

    Anyway, that sounds like a really cool art installation. Anyone know the name of it?

  • This text doesn't make sense, right?

  • Well, when you frame it like that it sounds absurd. But yes.

  • It's also interesting that it has made somewhat of a comeback after some newer technologies have faded away

  • Someone should put the 63 actual humans who are still MAGA on suicide watch after the past several days.

  • Ohhh I see. I suppose it's all about the setting. For some reason I was imagining people wearing them like a fashion statement or something 🤦🏻‍♂️

  • 🤔 I don't think I've seen a bandage on anyone's ear in my area (at least not in any recent years), and there's no shortage of MAGA people here. Where was this happening? It sounds like it would have been funny lol

  • Screw it, I’m installing Linux

  • If you’ve never used the terminal before, how do you know what to type?

    Start pushing buttons. Start typing things, try pressing tab variously. Look up guides, introductions, help.

    Sure, but my point is: I don't think I've ever seen a terminal present those instructions when you open it. Unless it's immediately shown in some MOTD or something, the average user isn't going to take the time to figure it out if they don't have to.

    If my grandmother wanted to draft a letter on her computer, she'd use something that looks more like Notepad and less like Vi.

  • OpenSUSE always seemed underrated IMO, especially in those pre-Ubuntu days. Such a polished UX overall

  • Eh, I think it's just about ease of use and discovery. When you open a terminal, it just shows a blinking cursor. If you've never used the terminal before, how do you know what to type?

    In a graphical desktop environment, you see icons, menus, etc. If you open a GUI application, you usually see buttons and things to click, and maybe even some guidance on how to use the app.

    A lot of people just want to use their computer without too much of a learning curve. Most people are not powerusers.

  • Why? And which coins are good?

  • People are still mining with GPUs? I'm kinda surprised that's still profitable

  • OPNsense Bare Metal vs Virtualization

    Jump

  • I just found my order confirmation email. Mine is model FW4C (now superseded by the V1410). Purchased almost two years ago.

    I'm very satisfied with mine. Nearly 100% uptime, except for occasional reboots after major system updates.

  • OPNsense Bare Metal vs Virtualization

    Jump

  • Sure! It's completely solid-state; no fans or other moving parts. The case is designed to dissipate the heat. The CPU is some low-power Intel Pentium. I don't remember exactly which model.

    I ordered a pre-built one from Protectli because I needed it fast, but you can save quite a bit if you prefer to build one. These little motherboards and cases can be found pretty easily online.

  • OPNsense Bare Metal vs Virtualization

    Jump

  • I went with a dedicated mini PC with one of those motherboards that are designed for building a network appliance. It has been running very smoothly for a few years, and I just log in occasionally to run system updates.

    I want my network and Internet connection to continue working, regardless of my tinkering with home server stuff.

  • Fellow 'Fediversers,' what keeps you hanging on here despite the "FV" being a work-in-progress, with all its built-in, various bumps & difficulties to experience along the way?
