westyvw, to selfhosted in So SBCs are shit now? Anything I can do with my collection of Pis and old routers?

Uh, my server is an x86, is fanless and the cpu idles at 9 and maxes at 12. Is much faster then my pi and has quicksync.

I run plex, jellyfin, smb shares, mealie, tailscale and rerouting, notes, and books.

I like my pi but performance per watt isn’t as drastic with x86 if you build for it. Did I mention it’s also fanless? Passive heating that just works on the cpu.

westyvw, to linux in What's your favorite music player on Linux?

Depending on how it’s packaged, the visualizations might be missing. I noticed that too.

westyvw, to linux in What's your favorite music player on Linux?

Yes but clementine still has features not yet in strawberry.

westyvw, (edited ) to linux in What's your favorite music player on Linux?

Clementine. Strawberry is getting there but still doesn’t have as many features.

Edit: huh, I didn’t expect a downvote on Lemmy for my opinion. Is reddit leaking through? Weird.

westyvw, to linuxmemes in Completely untrue nowadays...

I could, but you would think their own driver would work!

Not a pain on Linux at all. Printing is a breeze. As is scanning. Go figure.

westyvw, to linuxmemes in Completely untrue nowadays...

My scanner/printer works flawlessly ij Linux. It’s fantastic. I cannot get it to work in windows, but no big deal I rarely use windows anyways.

But it is amusing that it simply will not work in windows.

And this printer is from 2023.

There is a skit from Sat Night Live with Brian Cranston and Aaron Paul that is a spoof of their real lives as celebrities. Up to a point he is mild mannered, and then suddenly he gets very dark and serious. He is really good at portraying an aloof person and turning it on a dime. Point is in the that skit you certainly can see both.

westyvw, (edited ) to linux in New systemd update will bring Windows’ infamous Blue Screen of Death to Linux | Ars Technica

What a sensational, over blown article. ArsTechnica this is shitty journalism and you should know it.

The headline would be about as correct if it said “SystemD update will bring Amiga’s Guru Meditation screen to Linux.”

This update has nothing to do with Windows. Error displays with additional information about the crash is not exclusive to windows, nor new. In fact a Kernel Panic screen happened in Unix.

westyvw, to linux in Vivaldi Is Available on Flathub – Brno Hat

Good news! Firefox is my primary browser, but I use vivaldi as a secondary browser and since it is on all the devices, I sync it for notes.

I use my steam deck as my portable computer instead of a laptop these days, and finally I can add vivaldi to it.

Awesome!

westyvw, (edited ) to linux in 100 Million Firmware Updates Supplied By The LVFS

I said this about 2 weeks ago. I was trying to support Phoronix and was browsing on mobile. The site was unusable. They need to get control of that. I have websites and I refuse to ever run ads. Then again, I am not in it for the money.

On the other hand the number of websites that are using ChatGPT to create content, images, and links solely to push ads for profit is getting larger every day. It does not take any effort either. You can pay a monthly fee to have a service auto update your site and the ads are automatic too.

I am beginning to not trust sites that run ads.

westyvw, to linux in Just about every Windows and Linux device vulnerable to new LogoFAIL firmware attack

Is this potentially useful to me? Since it is persistent, can I use it on this motherboard I have over here that insists on using UEFI even if I do not want to?

westyvw, to lemmybewholesome in Black olive birthday

Pizza hut huts $30 if you add 4 toppings. Pizza is stupid expensive anymore.

westyvw, to linuxmemes in It's OK if you cry

Funny. I had a laptop that would do full speed and full security. But not in windows. They crippled the card with the driver, unless you paid more.

westyvw, to mildlyinteresting in This 9v battery contained six cells stacked like a layer cake

Me too. Like this.

Ubuntu has caused me far more headaches and downtime than Arch. Go figure.

And to make this be a worthwhile comment: I wonder if it is because I use Arch (and derivatives) that Ubuntu causes issues. When something isn’t right, I try and fix it. In Arch I can. In Ubuntu it seems like a dozen paper cuts to get there and it may not work in the long run anyway. Oh the Snap doesnt have foo compiled in? No problem I can add it to the snap directory. No, that didnt work. Ok I will remove it and bring in a .deb file. Dependencies not met. Fine, I will compile it from source… and by that time I have wasted a TON of time.
