What service does it use? Or is it just a standard for using your own?

I hope someday we'll find a way to pirated a car (lemmy.world)

In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn’t feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in...

Tesla doesn’t have “creature comforts” behind subscriptions. They’re 1-time payments.

Look your car has a new software update available!

These features require the cloud

No they don’t. You can use WiFi. Or Bluetooth. Or 433Mhz radio.

What if you don’t have a fob?

This is 1000% not true.

  1. They don’t care if you don’t answer. It costs them $0 to text you.
  2. My profession makes me a target for a wide variety of advertising and my phone number is required by law to be listed publicly.
  3. I already don’t. Mostly because Google Messages filters them in a way that I never even see them unless I’m actively looking. It was only when I got an iPhone that I realized exactly how horrific it is.

As soon as someone makes an SMS app that can filter the 5 spam texts I get every day, I’ll delete my Google account.

I see no reason Jellyfin wouldn’t work for this.

Do I have to use a special NAS-specific OS to make use of the NAS hardware? Like to do snapshots and stuff?

No you don’t have to. It’s usually just the easiest way to get one up and running and will have some additional configuration options.

Kinda related: what if I install something like Debian/Ubuntu on it? Can I still use the NAS hardware in the same way?

Yeah of course. Most NAS OSs are just forks of Debian anyway.

I looked into some solutions like TrueNAS and Synology. I prefer an OS that’s free software

TrueNAS is FOSS.

I would prefer a distro that “just works”

Barking up the wrong tree. Most people around here will lie and tell you that it does. It doesn’t. None of them do.

Linux Mint is the most common recommendation. I’ll recommend Debian.

How much power is your current setup consuming and what are energy rates like in your area?

helenslunch, (edited )
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

SBC (specifically RPis) got more expensive. x86 got more powerful, more importantly more efficient, and cheaper. Also X86 has more software built for it than ARM.

There are a few X86 SBCs now though.

If you already have SBCs and they’re doing what you need, I see no reason to switch.

How bad is it? My current file server, an old gaming rig, consumes 100w at idle.

That’s very bad haha. Most home servers for personal use are using 7-10w.

Although you’ll have to do the math with your local energy prices to determine how important that is. It’s probably not.

Yeah so you’d make your money back pretty quickly picking up a dedicated PC for that.

Grocery shopping apps

I am currently using Bring! with my wife to organize our grocery shopping. I am looking for a self hosted alternative. I looked at the awesome self-hosted list and tried Specifically Clementines and of course Grocy. I like that Grocy also includes meal planning although the whole inventory management is too much for us. What I...

That’s nice. Let me know when they’re $30 again.

If I cared about Qubes, Intel would be an instant dealbreaker. Same as it was for Framework.

Not a good idea to use your own domain. Use Proton Pass with domains you share with all the other users.

AppImages suck because I can’t pin them to my dashboard, can’t set them to open at startup and can’t set them as default apps for the appropriate filetypes.

Because Windows blows.
