While true, in order to get Linux mobile more mainstream, you have to have great google compatibility just because of the sheer volume of people that have to use google calendar for sync with family and friends and/or have gmail as a primary email. That’s just a shitty fact of life. Baby steps.

However, indeed you are completely right that at the current time there are probably a very low amount of people wanting to use it right now that are completely reliant on google.

Is the new shotgun any good?

~/workspace/git

That way I can also keep other stuff in the same “workspace” directory and keep everything else clean

I have a Code, simulations, ECAD, and FreeCAD folder in the workspace folder where projects or 1-offs are stored and when I want to bring them to git, I copy them over, play around in the project folders again, then copy changes over when I am ready to commit.

I could better use branching and checking out in git, but large mechanical assemblies work badly on git.

KDE for my main PC. Pretty with floating panels, KDE Connect, QT apps are often the best apps in their class and are perfectly integrated (FreeCAD, krita, okular, kdenlive, vlc, dolphin, etc…) And konsole is also very full featured.

I don’t know what KiCAD uses, but it also seems very well integrated into the KDE desktop unlike most gnome apps.

XFCE on MX Linux for an old Intel Compute Stick to keep it very usable.

“Critical” as in not really needed.

It is very bugged and constantly runs even if it isn’t doing anything. It will also max out your disk IO for hours at a time with an HDD for larger game storage.

I have had it off for 1.5 years across 3 OS installs and have never had a problem with stuttering or shader related problems in that time. It is really not needed anymore for 95% of games since the Linux async solutions were merged.

Maybe if one uses severely out of date kernels it is critical

That is a different usecase though. That is simply syncing local musical with a server.

I do that too because i have an SD card. Just use Syncthing for that. Much faster and less hassle. You can use any music player on your phone that you want, not just one that works with jellyfin.

If you aren’t streaming music in real time for the majority of time, then do a phone sync, not a streaming server.

I have heard symphonium is very good if they are looking at closed source Plex anyway. It works with jellyfin and navidrome.

I just use syncthing to sync all of my music to my phone’s SD card. Then PowerAmp since there aren’t many fully featured foss music players. I am keeping my eye on Auxio though, keeping it installed and updated.

Yeah, but as someone who had both bazzite and Opensuse MicroOS (Kalpa), it is even more of a long and painful process on that platform lol.

Immutable OS’s are literally for people who specifically don’t want to tinker. Everything via flatpack except a few system-level apps layered on the base image.

(Also they are for people who don’t need document digital signing as Firefox and libre office can’t access the modules via flatpak)

If people want specific apps and don’t want to build them or use user space apps then it definitely isn’t their best option. Just a different option.

I have very much enjoyed never even having to think about updating my system for months

And ladies and gentlemen, that is part of the reason for the gender gap lol

At work we have ~10 people using remarkables and every one of them loves it. They just released a color version too. Extremely good for notetaking according to them. You can write and then OCR the writing, getting the benefits of pen and paper and digital.

Can you cite a study?

It seems like a very common misconception that is maybe somewhat correlated, but causality hasn’t been found as far as I could find. Probably one of those things that are hawked by “wellness influencers” and “hack your life” youtubers without actual evidence.

Kopia backup to secondary HDD

• Pictures (phone photos backed up to my server via immich)
• workspace (git repos, ECAD, MCAD, firmware, etc…)
• qmk layout
• Documents
• vim folder with bundles
• ebooks

KDE vaults stores on secondary HDD

Soon I will set up kopia to also back up every via SSH to my server and then small size essentials and important docs via google drive

I need to set server cloud backups too, but haven’t had the time…

You seem to be under the impression that Roku and Chromecast don’t do the exact same things.

There is no good solution because connecting a Pi or something is not as good as modern TVs without an AV1 decoder and it also doesn’t have a good remote interface as far as I know.

Suse-font is licensed under OFL-1.1

Maybe soon sodium ion!

Higher cycle counts, reduced capacity, but also not dangerous.

If you think about it though, it is actually easier to find replacement parts for 70s-90s systems because there is now a small industry around it as well as collectors and there was a differrnt culture around it.

Replacing things from 2000s-2010s systems is the bigger issues. They were all taken over by giant corpos with all repair parts, manuals, and software restricted and hidden in the name of “profit” and “protecting corporate IP” and now it is not profitable enough for them to spend resources keeping stock of old parts or driver installers, so into the trash they go, never to be able to be seen again, and reproducing them also is note challenging with increasing system complexity.

It is common knowledge.

Bots can scrape PDFs.

I had about 50 applications of proof where bots scraped the information from my PDF and auto-filled it into the next forms which are again simply re-typing in all of the information from your resume again (which most medium or large companies use anyway which makes the entire point moot). They can scrape PDFs unless you hand-write your resume with bad handwriting so the OCR can’t pick it up.

Unless they got their ATS system from aliexpress, it can scrape PDFs.

Literally every single browser can open a PDF.

Is she admitting that their organization only uses discontinued, insecure Internet Explorer to use the internet? Is she also opening word files in Microsoft word 2005?

I think it has to do with data differences between self hosters and data hoarders.

Example: a self hosted with an RPI home assistant setup and a N100 server with some paperwork, photos, nextcloud, and a small jellyfin library.

A few terabytes of storage and their goal is to replace services they paid for in an efficient manner. Large data transfers will happen extremely rarely and it would be limited in size, likely for backing up some important documents or family photos. Maybe they have a few hundred Mbit internet max.

Vs

A data hoarder with 500TB of raid array storage that indexes all media possible, has every retail game sold for multiple consoles, has taken 10k RAW photos, has multiple daily and weekly backups to different VPS storages, hosts a public website, has >gigabit internet, and is seeding 500 torrents at a given time.

I would venture to guess that option 1 is the vast majority of cases in selfhosting, and 10Gb networking is much more expensive for limited benefit for them.

Now on a data hoarding community, option 2 would be a reasonable assumption and could benefit greatly from 10Gb.

Also 10Gb is great for companies, which are less likely to be posting on a self hosted community.
