Space Karen!

Providing this statement is hardly doubling down and if anything moves in the other direction. Hiring a legit firm with a reputation of its own to defend is by all accounts the right thing to do, particularly after all the other fumbles that took place. Was waiting for an investigatory body to come along and do the legwork for free the more sensible option? No one was silenced here, and these allegations were made without proof. I tend to believe others, but this cuts both ways.

I'd say that laying your own experiences out as germane is gross, but then I do appreciate those strong biases being highlighted. For my own part I'd have rather not defended a media outlet that I do not care for.

Well, I've got good news, you can do both at the same time with the patented cyber-bullet! When it implants, it implants 100 percent of the time.

I run a SearXNG instance myself and while it is a fine aggregator, it's important to note what it is and isn't. For instance, Sear does not have a dedicated search index and leans on third party API calls (to indexes such as the aforementioned Google and DDG listings.) This is my understanding, feel free to correct it.

For my money, I like the anonymity that Sear can afford and that it hides the AI bullshit pouring into the UIs. My son and I were talking over the weekend about how unreliable he is finding the move to AI search.

Edit: A list of public SearXNG instances for anyone that doesn't want to spin up their own.

Tasker does this on android and the event can be chained to launch scripts and apps.

I also care that whatever company I work for moves to take corrective action as well. This isn't at all difficult to think through.

Consideration is required; it's much easier to be a knee-jerk contrarian one supposes.

Thanks for this.

Awesome info in this thread, thanks!

Strava has continued to enshittify the app to the point that I'm getting ads after every activity. Anyway, I decided to delete it after yesterday's run and will keep an eye on this project. Thanks!

Thanks for the recommendation, looking into it as well.

Same, proxmox + lxc is a gift.

So when I buy Beaver Nuggets, I'm practically giving money to Canonical?

Fuck.

I also like to keep a text editor open and paste everything I’m doing, as I do it, into that window. Clean it up a little, and you’ve got documentation for when you eventually have to change/fix it.

Smart stuff that is leaving me feeling dumb for not having thought of it myself, shell history is a poor substitute.

Thanks!

Damn, I was wondering how Firefox tied into Red Hat shenanigans. I am officially old, and pinning the blame on this post.

About to make the move I think, and just loaded up a thumb-drive this morning before wandering in here. Wish me luck!

Perhaps this is on me, but I've had issues with Windows monkeying with GRUB on dual-boot the first year or so I transitioned to Linux. Finally moved to systemd-boot and haven't looked back since.

Shell Commands are the primary tool I use to go about doing these things. I write the scripts to perform the action(s) desired and drop them on the local PC. The shell commands are then fired off from Home Assistant via SSH (either directly in the HA dashboard a la human interaction or through automations) or via my phone through Tasker or KDE Connect (as mentioned elsewhere.)

The trickiest bit for me was setting the correct environmental variables in the scripts but then it was an excellent learning opportunity! Best of luck OP and let me know if I can provide any more info.

From someone that was in the same pipeline and made the move, you won't regret it. I know it's early days for Wayland, but my experience on AMD and Intel has been very positive.

Yeah, like the FPS style porn, I get it.🎮

Just here to spread the cult of systemd-boot. Reject the illness that GRUB hath wrought upon our people and extend your mastery over even the bootloader itself.

Windows has no power here.

From my limited understanding it's based on Debian instead of Ubuntu (which is based on Debian). The purpose is to have a fallback in the event Canonical snaps Ubuntu out of existence.
