That would have to be an automatic action, cause I ain’t hitting a button when reading comments. I don’t even upvote/downvote enough

If you give me all of YouTube and that includes everyone maintaining it, all the data collection processes from it, and the infrastructure to keep it running. Hell yeah I’ll take it, the data collection alone on users is an information gold mine and companies all over would be salivating to get a piece of that. I can pretty much guarantee that if given the threat of losing the data of everyone in the worlds video watching habits vs paying more to upkeep it, companies will start paying more.

In all actuality, I’d still do it and toss out the data collection. I don’t see anywhere in this mental exercise that I have to keep it running well. Y’all (well, about 5 of y’all at a time) are watching 36p videos from here on out.

I’ve found that the Arch wiki works for most distros if you know how to translate it. There have been multiple times I’ve searched how to do something or how to fix something in Linux and the only useful result is an arch forum or wiki. All I had to do is translate the steps for debian/ubuntu/opensuse/fedora/rpiOS, etc.

The process was usually “search this error” > “this part” isn’t working, search “this part error” > arch forum showing steps to fix. Search “where the fuck is this file in <distro>”. Get “it’s usually here, here, or over here”, then do arch steps.

Then there’s opensuse, and there’s fucking camelcase capitals in their packages (NetworkManager? Seriously?) so I have to Google “opensuse <command/application> package” like a fucking rube.

I did this once. I got to a command line installation and I think I either borked installing a usable desktop environment, or I was just sick of it all and decided I wouln’t be getting working hibernation or Wi-Fi this way anyway and the slightly lower resources used wasn’t worth it.

I think I had tried Gentoo before that and must have decided I didn’t like myself for some reason.

Quality movies and shows, HBO was the place for that for decades. If you saw HBO and static, you knew you were in for something good.

If I recall correctly it was in response to a bill that would nullify the treaty with the indigenous people. In my mind, trying to gut the agreement that you’ll work together and respect each other instead of trying to kill each other is an act of war, any response less than killing people is being respectful.

The first time I got this I thought I screwed up big time. Then, half a second later I was like “wait…”

I’m going to go with yes.

Yeah, I have gripes about this list. Starting with the poor title.

I would wonder if there’s a self hosted option out there for video streaming (there’s this?) that you could set up to mirror with a few friends, that way if your home every gets searched you’ve got a friend with copies that can get it to a journalist/lawyer

Lora is in the 915mhz ISM band in the USA. This part of the spectrum is full of high power transmissions, Lora runs on such low power that it’s signals are pretty much below the noise floor. The FCC doesn’t have the teeth to regulate what they already are supposed to regulate, they aren’t going to bother with Lora. As far as communicating doing anything illegal or soon to be illegal shit, Signal is more reliable.

That app has been junk for several years. I think there was a change in permissions in one of the Android versions that made it useless, they never updated it.

I agree with their sentiment, I like my menu on the side, the middle of my screen is busy showing me what I was doing. I don’t want it covered up because I opened the start menu.

I’m the minority in my family I suppose, because the kid doesn’t know better and can barely tell the difference between raspberry pi OS and Windows and the wife “kinda likes it in the middle”. I’m also the only one who uses Linux. I feel dirty if I ever have to do something on their computers. I keep a liveUSB of opensuse tumbleweed to minimize my interactions with Windows at home.

Or Windows gives you a blue screen and just “BAD_POOL_HEADER”.

I got that intermittently at work on an instrument about every week or two. The best answer I could find was “it could be software or hardware related”. Yeah, thanks for that, problem solved. Wish I had thought of that. Not even a time stamp. Finally found out when it occurred to within 20 minutes and there was jack shit in the logs.

IT ended up calling in a service tech to re-image the computer.

Please don’t post trash here, find an actual good article with journalistic integrity.

Chris Murphy has a new (and younger, but not necessarily more attractive)

First line. What absolute trash of an article.

I was a manager at our student union building in college, very occasionally I had to go to the back of the food court since I had the magic keys and all. The shear amount of oil coating the floor after mopping in the Sonic area made me never want fast food again. I had non slip shoes and it was still like walking on ice.

Raspberry Pies (is that how you pluralize it?), and especially their SD cards are not the most reliable pieces of hardware. I’ve already had a few die on me.

I grabbed a le potato with an emmc module a little while back and recently got a rock 3c with an emmc slot. I doubt think I can ever go back to microSD based SBCs. I have a good handful of pis from the first one to the 4. Each one of those has chewed up at least one card until I made a point to buy high quality microsds. They do work quite well if you don’t have them reading and writing from the card much, so if it’s just running as an appliance it should be able to last a while.

But yeah, I regularly dd my sd cards so I have a backup of a clean setup and a more recent one that I can revert to if I lose a card. Which reminds me, I should probably do that with my pihole, since it’s somehow become that one brick keeping my entire network functioning.
