Nebula fucks, I had been putting off the lifetime sub for ages and finally bit the bullet one day and I’ve been using it more than YouTube. Feels good knowing the creators get more stake in it and are literal stakeholders without all the alrogithm nonsense.

They’ve made it seem like the lifetime sub won’t be around forever though, worth noting.

Thanks for this. Very interesting. I just downloaded it myself.

The problem is Chromium.

I’ve been using Nebula, and I dig it. It’s owned by the creators and there’s no algorithm. Only sucks you can’t really share since it’s all paywalled. They have a guest pass but the person has to sign up so I doubt people would bother.

I think it’s important to keep expectations realistic though…

in the case of Youtube there are very few groups/companies/whatever that could keep up with that kind of bandwidth. Federation helps here but it’s still a pretty niche thing for 99% of people who don’t know/care and just want their social media/forum/video site to work.

ZFS doesn’t really hog memory, rather it consumes almost all available memory as cache. But it frees it as soon as it’s needed.

Damn does Lemmy not support moving a community the way Mastodon does? That’s a huge bummer 😕

And I’m very confused now having just stumbled here. Some places say it’s !football@lemm.ee and others say !football@sopuli.xyz which one is it?

You can get a cheap refurb Pixel. The returns are very diminishing these days on new models anyway.

And the entire Waffle House gave him a standing ovation

Yes SSD and RAM are simple to replace. There are two SSD NVME slots in fact, and only one is used by default so you can add another.

What drama? I just started using Organic.

Good stuff. Build cities around people, not cars.

It seems like the libraries are server specific. So it’ll probably just be saved to whichever server owns the library you’re using.

Dell XPS 13 checks all your boxes except good speakers.

I have the XPS 15 9510 model. Intel 13th gen i7, backlit keyboard, great trackpad, sleek design. It came with 16GB ram but I replaced with 32.

I bought it “refurb” on eBay last May SPECIFICALLY because I wanted the most Mac-like PC. Running Arch Linux from day one and it’s been rock solid and super fast. The speakers aren’t great and the mic is pretty bad. But I usually use headphones or external speakers when docked.

I honestly am very happy with it and it was only like $550.

I spent a bunch of time before this comparing new computers; between Thinkbooks, Framework, Tuxedo, XPS. In the end I decided what I wanted didn’t require it to be new. I was only concerned about degraded battery but I can replace that myself when the time comes.

I don’t want to plug the seller but they’re constantly selling these on eBay so you’ll probably see them if you search.

Side note I disabled the NVIDIA GPU and only use the Intel iGPU which has saved a lot of battery.

VNC is sloooooow and RDP is actually usable since it renders with vectors.

If someone has a script to set up HyprLand or Sway with all the necessary components and dotfiles I’m all ears because I just don’t have the patience to experiment myself so I’m still on GNOME.

Ignore the braindead replies, this was really informative.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills whenever I see people talking about running any Linux distro on a Mac. Every time I try it’s a bad time with driver support. And yes I used t2linux, most recently with Ubuntu. It came with nonfunctional sleep mode (apparently a problem since Sonoma), a very buggy Bluetooth controller and a very janky feeling cursor movement with the trackpad. Also my mic volume was super low on Zoom calls.

What am I missing?

Jellyseerr is about to add Postgres support which is sweet if you run in any kind of cluster configuration like kubernetes.

OSS software gets abandoned way more often than acquired proprietary stuff.
