I really like self -hosting, and some great concepts are coming out of containerization, but I also feel like the next generation are being fed a steady stream of “Rent, lease, stream” to such an extent that kids I know literally don’t understand files on their computer, only cloud connected apps and content. I kind of wish there was a philosophy of tech course that made people carefully consider some of the trade-offs we’re constantly making with the big five.
Eat the crust, leave the rest.
Yeah, I’m Canadian. Thus, non-confrontational by nature. Now, If I was answering a call and someone did that, I’d let them get away with it, 100%.
You can’t cancel your reservation within 24 hours. You can rebook it. Okay, rebook it for one week out. Call back a day later, cancel.
My library: Tech Mentors! People bring in their laptops, cell phones, whatever, and we show them how to install programs, create accounts, surf, write resumes, fill out government forms, you name it.
If you can Lemmy, you can volunteer at the library to help people from being lost online.
Oh, it’s awful! I mean, I knew it was going to be a bit heavier, with the dual screens, but I figured for media and stuff I could use it like a laptop. What I didn’t know? No keyboard on the e-ink. If you have it in landscape, you have a giant, unusable keyboard on the LCD part. No backlight on the e-ink. No way to move apps from one screen to the other without closing them out completely. But this is the part that really bakes my bacon… No portrait mode on the e-ink side. None. The good eReader review seems to have missed that it’s absolutely, 100%, stuck in landscape! Also, the battery is awful. I listened to a podcast for 10 minutes, display off, and burnt 10% of the battery. I have 10-year-old laptops with better battery life. I asked for a return/refund, but of course, crickets. Their only support is apparently on a Facebook page. I won’t be getting Facebook any time soon, but I am told that they are ignoring support requests anyways.
I’m still too dumb to learn… Ask me about my OKPad! In fact, ask me for my OKPad. Please, take the god awful thing off my hands!
This happened to my laptop that I had a long time ago. I found a guide where I took out the motherboard, wrapped it in foil except where the GPU was, then used a blow dryer to heat the solder connecting the GPU to the mobo. Worked for another six months, then it happened again, so I replaced the system.
Well, I guess I’m re-sending Starter Villain again…
Short story. Favorite aunt, cancer. Still miss her, so many years later.
I’m guessing ARM specifically? I use a Lenovo Yoga convertible in tablet mode with Fedora and the onscreen keyboard for media consumption, but not as my daily device. Not great battery life, but I got it dirt cheap used.
Sending a virtual cyber hug your way. I’m a bit the same with Thanksgiving. Feeling a loss during a “cheery happy time” blows. Not too much else I can say. I hope you get through it.
I have immich running in a VM in proxmox… There’s ML? What does it do? I have internet facing stuff behind a reverse proxy, but I use two different subnets for different kinds of traffic, no issues. My 192.168.0.0/24 network does not everything, but I move files around Plex and immich and stuff on a separate 192.168.3.0/24 network. I imagine you could do the same thing without too much trouble.
That’s the one I’m using, actually. It’s stable for web calls and stuff, but if I get a notification and go to open it, it freezes and shuts down on me maybe once every few tries. I usually just rerun it and it’s fine. Thanks for the suggestion though!
My classes? All windows, except half the teachers want you working in a Linux VM… I cut out the middleman. A few issues with VMware and Packet Tracer, and the Teams for Linux crashes too often for my tastes, but I’ve been two and a half semesters, and only had two hiccups with Office online/Libre Office compatibility on group projects. I am so unbearably smug…
Nope! I’m a dummy. The guy’s name is Jeffrey Moss, and I clearly got a different one. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj4--_wSXTzV9trwNZj9WPw
If you mean Tony Todd, then yeah. I met him. Very nice guy. One of very few celebrity encounters I’ve had that was positive.
Concatulations! You are now cat staff. Commence feeding and changing litter for the next 10-20 years.
I have a bunch of e-readers, but most of them are Android, so Google is spying on you. Are you planning towards e-ink, or LCD? My manga go-to is a Bigme Inknote. Ups: nice and big, color, good battery life once you turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, does everything any android tablet can do, light, selectable backlight. Downs: Ghosting, slower than LCD, expensive, not as vibrant as LCD. If you want to go LCD and DIY: Get an old 2-in-1 like a Surface Book. Replace Windows with a Linux that uses Gnome. Ups: way brighter, faster, sharper image, more customizable, private, probably cheaper. Downs: Battery life in hours, not days. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj4--_wSXTzV9trwNZj9WPw has a lot of e-reader reviews.
I think a more accurate headline would be “Woman set home on fire using gasoline”.
