Big Netbird fan, and they support a fully self hosted version.

"Turns out we're both teachers." Posts a 90 word run on sentence.

We are all doomed.

Well aside from the obvious giveaways in the presentation format of the README.md, and .gitignore, the very first question of its FAQ is:

"You use LLMs? 🤯"

Yes. Heavily. Claude and GLM-5.2 wrote a lot of this repo.

The female presenting character on the right says that the male presenting one on the left becomes her in the future, and is gay. When he says he 'likes girls' she agrees, because a trans woman who likes women would be considered gay.

There are some assumptions I'm making , but I believe this is the intended meaning.

You may not hear this from others, but I would NOT switch your phone OS and desktop OS at the same time. Assuming you live a digital life there is just TOO MUCH to have to deal with while dealing with tbe hassle of things that don't make sense, or require you to stop what you're doing and google the answer.

I love /e/OS and would absolutely recommend it, but there are just shortcomings that slow me down all the time (are you OK with the play store compatibility suddenly stopping and you cant download apps - do you wait and see if it starts working after a few minutes? reboot your phone? Log out and back into your google account? Switch to/from anonymous? This happens more than I think folks would readily admit and the solution is just different each time)

Once you are up and running fot a few weeks with whatever change you want to make first then sure go for the other one.

Best of luck!

I'm not sure I really understand your use case, but OwnCloud and OpenCloud offer fewer features than Nextcloud and are mostly about file sharing.

Other things you could consider: pydio cells, or Copy party (very simple and more just cloud storage, no syncing).

As mentioned, Minisforum and Beelink make great APU-based Ryzen systems which are going to give a great bang-for-buck. Get them from Amazon vs their dedicated website as some folks have had shipping delqys with the OEM website. ETA Prime does great reviews on YouTube of these boxes and shows what the FPS is like on some current, a few years old, and retro games for each one.

If you want the smallest possible system, with room for one the smaller form factor discrete graphics cards I'd say the NUC 9 Extreme works very well. I have a GTX 1650 in it and it is perfectly fine.

Steam Deck with a usb c dock is also a great option.

The problem I have with this is it's the pornography argument. You know it's slop when you see it.

• Brand new account
• No 'about us' on the project website with any details about the devs, and the entire website feels like a template, at least created by if not wholly done by AI.
• Asking for donations in cryptocurrency. I actually have no problem with this, but its the part of the pattern. I dont want my e.g. VPN management tool code provided by someone who needs to be anonymous even in their project donations.
• Using MIT license to me means the product could (and probably would) turn commercial at any moment if it finds success. Yes these projects are free to start, but there could be a huge cost in terms of migration need down the road, if the developer alters the deal.
• Many projects (albeit not this one yet) respond to questions about whether they are using AI to reply with 'of course, English is not our first language'. To me thats just too easy to hide behind and I'm tired of seeing it. English is also not an AIs fist language.
• And of course as soon as you enumerate what makes it slop, they will train the AIs to make it harder to detect. It feels like such a losing battle.

I appreciate rule 7 being updated, but time will tell if all slop projects just learn to wriggle around these rules. It just leaves a bad taste. I've started losing trust in any project I find on here, especially when its posted in the above manner.

In DNS and all Unix style host resolution generally (documentation on the file /etc/resolv.conf details this), all clients have a domain search list, usually set by your DHCP server, which for Google owned computers is obvs google.com, but it can be several domains.

All they need is to set up an A record for go.google.com (its more likely googleplex.com) which runs a link shortener/expander site, and their employees can use the shorthand form of go/linkname for it to be expanded for them in their browser.

They could also set an entry in every corporate computer's local hosts file for 'go', and deploy it automatically using ansible, chef, etc. Or configure it in the company wide HTTP(S) proxy that all clients are configure to use. I forget now which method it is, and there are of course many other ways to do it than these.

Anyway go/linkname is a huge part of their culture as mentioned by the other commenter, and I was also triggered seeing it.

You are dead on. I hate this, if I want this sort of trite shit I can just ask ChatGPT. Instead people now take AI slop and make articles about it so more AIs can ingest it and spit it back again. One step closer to Dead Internet.

Bitcoin is basically only mined via ASICs now. You can still mine something like ETC but honestly chains have (rightfully) been moving to far more efficient consensus using Proof of Stake.

For the amount of electricity you would need to mine a meaningful amount of BTC, you'd be much better off buying spending $50 or $100 worth of BTC or ETH every week. Either hodl or DCA sell when prices bounce up.

This is a bit of a hack, but while you wait for a new drive or laptop, you could install Linux onto a thumb drive and run it from there.

When you use Rufus to write the image to the flash drive, it should give you the option to create a persistent storage section with a slider to say how much of the drive to allocate to that. At least this should keep Microsoft from destroying the data on it, lthough it will probably ask every time it starts up whether you want to format that drive.

This way you can just use whatever your BIOS boot key is, probably something like F12, to boot onto your Linux and keep it away from Microsoft :)

Since you know Debian, Devuan is there to try it. Given how almost unavoidable systemd is nowadays I basically try all of Devuan, Artix, Void and the first one that works for the task at hand is the one I stick to :)

Replaced my third system with artix and could not be happier.

Yes, unfortunately. You might be able to use it as a normal user if you are a member of the 'disk' group, but its not consistent and it may still actually need root to do all the loopback setup and so forth that you need to make the Windows install ISO sane.

I will miss her so much!

Honestly this seems a little excessive, BUT there is one important thing you can do to prolong your rats life and that is to always have two or three. Sorry if you already know all this, but just in case: Rats are very social and help each other's physical and mental health; we might think we can provide enough social contact for them, but they just need at least one other rat in their life to be happy. IMO It's best to just start with 3 from the same litter (in case one dies on the younger side).

This is the real cost IMO, as you need a decent sized cage to be able to give them some room to move around, as well as lining, toys and food. This should usually be the majority of the cost of ownership.

Truthfully most rats are fairly resilient, the hardest thing to deal with its that their lifespan just doesn't compare to other types of pets. 3 years is really the max you're looking at and we've had many barely make it to 2, so really you need to plan for end of life care and burial or cremation costs and the occasional vet visit, which very a lot by region.

If you have a VCA or a local vet who specializes in rodents (cause trust me, we've had bad vets who accidentally did more harm than good) you should be able to get an idea of costs for a tumor removal should one occur, unless you just want to put them down once it starts hurting their quality of life. This is much easier said than done because they are such sweet animals.

For us in central MA, for our least healthy rat is around $800 for a tumor removal (which has already come back about 6 months later, so another $800 upcoming), and end of life stuff usually is around $200-250. I hope this helps!

Funny how "muh freedom" means you should be able to not wear a mask, but others should be disallowed from wearing masks, even if they have actual safety or health concerns. Very consistent.

Seems to work, albeit you'll hit later mentions doing it more than once, but yeah word boundary searches are awesome.

Agree with your overall suggestion, just a tip for when the man page doesnt cooperate.
