HumanPerson,

Eternity. It was a FOSS Reddit client before the API stuff but they became a Lemmy client.

Gentle reminder to everyone that support for ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

  1. Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
  2. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
  3. Try a beginner friendly distro like . It only takes about two months to acclimate.

HumanPerson,

VMs can emulate TPM cant they? Win11 still sucks but at least it will work.

HumanPerson,

I have a static IP and I didn’t recognize the stuff after the top few things.

HumanPerson,

That is fair. I was more trying to make the point that what each streaming service charges now isn’t unreasonable, it is the fact that you need to pay for all of them which can easily be 80-100 a month. 35 for no drm, no bs streaming would be high, but still better than it is now.

HumanPerson, (edited )

There is nothing inerrantly wrong with streaming, it is the fact that all the streaming services suck. The experience to watch a show through streaming is:

  1. Look up what streaming service its on.
  2. Realize you don’t have it, pay $25 a month for a subscription.
  3. Watch the show in 480p even though you paid for 4k.
  4. Realize you are using the “wrong” browser & try chromium
  5. Realize chromium doesn’t work either and install their proprietary app.
  6. In the time that you were getting their app working, they lost the rights to the show. Restart on new streaming service.

If it were instead:

  1. go to any streaming service of your choice
  2. Pay $35 a month
  3. Watch on Firefox on Linux in 4k, a lot fewer people would pirate.

"Must Try" distros and DEs?

Hey folks! I’m getting a fresh laptop for the first time in about a decade (Framework 16) in a couple of months and am looking forward to doing some low-level tinkering both on the OS and hardware. I’m planning to convert into a “cyberdeck” with quick-release hinges for the screen since I usually use an HMD, built-in...

HumanPerson,

Opensuse tumbleweed, kde

What distro would you recommend for a 32-bit old Acer One laptop? (kbin.social)

It's an old model (Acer One D257) Processor is Intel Atom. Memory is 1GB DDR3 with 320 GB of HDD. I currently Have MX 21 running on it, but I need to reinstall because I forgot the root password. Since I'm reinstalling the OS, I thought I'd ask here for recommendations for an OS that makes the most of this oldie.

HumanPerson,

I used to like Debian based (and still do; I use it on my server with no intention of switching) but Opensuse is great on the desktop and supports 32 bit. Even tumbleweed is rock solid.

HumanPerson,

Ask to watch them pee. When they say no, ask what they do when they pee that they don’t want you to know about; that is the only reason they could want privacy, right?

HumanPerson,

Are they numbered the same way as reading? If so, I agree.

HumanPerson,

I just got an arc for jellyfin transcoding. Could you tell me more about your setup for that?

HumanPerson,

Quite easy. It automatically starts in qemu when you build it.

HumanPerson,

Idk for the how but airvpn does for comparable prices. This coming from a fellow multi-tb Linux iso torrenter. Also I assume you mean VPN unless mullvad does VPS stuff I don’t know of.

HumanPerson,

Aren’t the specifications also insanely long and complicated for good measure?

How to get a private car

Hello internet users. Someone in my family is looking to buy a car and wanted some recommendations for a private one. They are looking to buy new, and need Android Auto and CarPlay. I know all new cars suck for privacy by default, but I was hoping someone here could offer some insight as to which cars can be made better and what...

HumanPerson,

Tell me more about this rf sink

HumanPerson,

Doesn’t Lemmy let you save posts or is that just my client?

HumanPerson, (edited )

As I said, it is for a family member. I agree about buying used.

I think android auto can be reasonably private with Graphene OS’s implementation.

I don’t know what you are saying about Home Assistant.

Edit: Home Assistant

HumanPerson,

Do you know of new cars that don’t have all the smart nonsense?

Protecting HDDs from (external) train vibrations

I am worried that externally caused vibrations might damage my HDDs (NAS in the planning). The subway / metro runs under my building, and every time the train passes, this causes slight but measurable vibrations in the 50-100 Hz frequency range. It is more like a rumbling noise than the usual vibration of a passing train....

HumanPerson,

Just rob a few banks, go to prison, meet a coke dealer, get out of prison and start selling coke, rise up the ranks until you can kill the current leader and become a drug kingpin, and finally realize that you still don’t have enough money for it because they are expensive as shit.

HumanPerson,

Thank you so much. I have spent so long trying to find this.

HumanPerson,

Please let me know what you find for jellyfin with arrs and VPN. I have found that the VPN always interferes with jellyfin and other stuff and haven’t been able to figure out gluetun.

HumanPerson,

My advice for finding torrents, so long as they are not insanely obscure, is using qbittorrent with tons of search plugins. It may be hard to find av1 but if you have a new GPU you can transcode quickly, or if you don’t you can always use software encoding.

HumanPerson,

Pi-like SBC and a USB camera and I’m sure you can find software for it.

HumanPerson,

I’ve seen a few posts about this now. Any news on how it effects graphene os?

HumanPerson,

Ever downloaded an app off sourceforge without adblock? You or I may not fall for it but in big companies someone will eventually.
