Instead of my ID, I submitted a picture of dolphins and the text "So long and thanks for all the fish!". And never came back.

Jesus, what a bunch of needless "security". They're tickets to a concert, ffs. This is all for personal data mining.

It was a default for so long that people just got used to the feel of it and its "ecosystem" if you can call it that.

I use Win at home and at work as my main desktop, because of familiarity, the apps I got used to and because I just don't feel comfortable with any Linux UI. I get annoyed when the Win UI gets even slightly changed between OS versions, so imagine how it would be for me just switching to Linux. I have a dual boot, but the Linux partitions always gather dust no matter the distro.

But I wouldn't touch a Windows server. I'm apt with the Linux on work servers, my home server, RaspberryPi and routers. It feeels like having swiss army knives and I feel at home in a command line.

This doesn't make me a fanboy, but I do get raised eyebrows from co-workers.

Turris Omnia. Powerful hardware, auto updates, config backup / restore (with anti-bricking feature), SIM slot, etc

Unique style paintings will become even more valuable in the future. Generative AI only spews "art" based on previous styles it learned / was trained on. Everything will be even more rehashed than it is today (nod to Everything is a Remix). Having a painting made by an actual human hand on your wall will be more ego-boosting than an AI generated one.

Sure, for general digital art (ie logos, game character design, etc) when uniqueness isn't really mandatory, AI is a good, very cheap tool.

As for the "everyone becomes a programmer" part... naah.

alvaro , to Self Hosted - Self-hosting your services.

I have a disk for local backups (that is the only purpose of that disk). I was wondering what would make it last longer:

  • Keep it mounted to my server permanently (current solution)
  • Keep it unmounted most of the time, mount it when I'm going to do a backup (either daily or every 3 days, I don't mind changing that) and unmounting after the backup is done.

What would be the best strategy?

Hmm. I unmount mine to reduce noise. Didn't think about endurance though, curious to see opinions too.

😂 That's what Muskrat wanted you to believe. Engineers and people with more than 2 brain cells have debunked the Hyperloop idea for years. Here's one of them from 7 years ago.
