helenslunch, to linux in Starlite?

I see. I guess everyone I know that has a tablet also has a laptop, and carries both of them around. Makes more sense as a laptop replacement, I suppose.

Isn’t there a federated version of GitHub?

Voice message, not voicemail. It’s like a text message but with your voice.

Oh I thought you meant the ads. No, you can definitely whitelist your favorite sites.

I meant investors of the media publishers, not the creators of the DRM.

Publishers certainly know it doesn’t work but their investors probably demand that they “do something”.

Biggest evidence of that is Epic will give away games for free, but there will be people who prefer to pay for the Steam version over the free version.

Ehhh as much as I’d like to think that’s true, I think that has more to do with managing a bunch of clients and launchers. And also that those clients and launchers are full of spyware and bloatware and ads.

I used to not buy anything on Epic but then I got Heroic Launcher and now I’m not so terribly opposed to it. I have the Steam launcher and then I have HGL for Epic, GOG, and Amazon.

@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Sorry to be that guy but if the tapes were never preserved it’s probably because nobody cared…

helenslunch, to opensource in UnifiedPush support has been announced for Element X, and NeoChat
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

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

helenslunch, (edited ) to privacy in Google Update Reveals AI Will Start Reading All Your Private Messages
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

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.
helenslunch, to selfhosted in So SBCs are shit now? Anything I can do with my collection of Pis and old routers?
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

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

Look your car has a new software update available!

helenslunch, to selfhosted in Suggestions for NAS (or other hardware) solution to home setup
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

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.

When I have the VPN on I get nothing but a “Session Expired” notice for several months at a time.
