Once I switched to Linux full time I stopped using pirated software entirely.

What $10/yr vps are you using?

I'm really annoyed by how much Brave Search is pushing AI

I've been using Brave Search supplemented by Startpage for the past 2+ years. When I search for something, I want to get results for credible webpages, not a summary of unknown quality. I liked the previous AI inclusion because it was instant, didn't take up much space, and I could quickly navigate to the websites referenced in...

const_void ,

Lol, people are using Brave?!

const_void ,

And now there's a foobar2000 on Linux

const_void ,

should I develop for Amarok or Fooyin?

Fooyin would be my bet. The development is much much more active than Amarok and is a ground up new program, not a codebase from decades ago.

const_void ,

Can we stop using the Steven Crowder meme already. The guy is a total chode.

const_void ,

the only OS to make sense really

How does it make more sense than Fedora KDE?

const_void ,

Interesting. I didn't realize it was structured this way. I thought it was similar to NixOS for some reason.

const_void ,

No idea how Linux fits into this

const_void ,

Yeah, I can't stand technical videos for that reason. I just want the content and nothing more.

const_void ,

Besides the installer, in what ways do Debian and Fedora hold your hand?

My graphics card BIOS chip malfunctioning coincided with my Wayland desktop glitching out

I have a 6900 xt GPU of which had random crashes for a month, I then decided to load a new BIOS on to the board and found that the chip was not reading at all. Dual BIOS so no issue. I did some soldering to remove the faulty chip then turned on my PC to find all applications that used electron to render were crapping out making...

const_void ,

I did some soldering to remove the faulty chip

How did you determine it was faulty? What did you replace it with? How did you flash the new chip? This story doesn't make sense.

const_void ,

Duntun? Never heard of this brand. Is it safe to use?

const_void ,

Get a Framework. You won't be disappointed.

It even tries to make you feel bad for some relatively innocuous prompts.

This is the darkest part of these. Google and Microsoft are now controlling what questions you can even ask and if they're not the right question you'll get a stern lecture. What in the actual fuck?

const_void ,

The Google chatbot is already doing just that.

Another successful OpenBSD setup

I've been buying these little boxes from AliExpress for years to use as firewalls and routers. My oldest one is almost 9 years old now! OpenBSD installs just fine. Just a BIOS tweak to always boot up after power is restored.

@selfhosted

const_void ,

No and they don't provide the source either. Makes you wonder what's running in there.

Sure as long as security isn't a concern

const_void ,

As @floofloof stated:

The only concerns are that you don’t get BIOS updates, and you don’t know for sure that there’s nothing nasty in the firmware.

const_void , (edited )

This story seems fishy. Why would the hole for the facial recognition camera be so poorly made? It looks like someone made it with a screwdriver, not something that was made in a factory.

Reddit: 'We Are in the Early Stages of Monetizing Our User Base' (www.404media.co)

Reddit said in a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission that its users’ posts are “a valuable source of conversation data and knowledge” that has been and will continue to be an important mechanism for training AI and large language models. The filing also states that the company believes “we are in the early...

The voting system let's people push comments to the top that they want to be true, not necessarily things that are true.

const_void ,

Yep. Same with the "I use Arch btw" thing. It's so played out.

const_void ,

What's "ricing"?

const_void ,

Given how hard they've been pushing Copilot/Bing Chat/etc I'm not surprised

const_void ,

Wire the power switch to a transistor and ESP

Gonic is a nice alternative to Navidrome if you don't need a web UI

What is your preferred method for backing up several TB of data?

What storage software could I run to have an archive of my personal files (a couple TB of photos) that doesn't require I keep a full local copy of all the data? I like the idea of a simple and focused tool like Syncthing, but they seem to be angling towards replication....

const_void ,

rsync and another hard drive

Don't forget all the UI/UX they've been copying from KDE. Working at Microsoft must be such an easy job when the open source community does all your work for you.

const_void ,

What am I looking at?

const_void ,

Gonic server with Strawberry and D-Sub

const_void ,

Meh, Plex is a shady company and there's tons of good, open source options available

const_void ,

Last I heard GPU accelerated video decoding didn't work

const_void ,

Framework is the best option these days for upgrades and repairs

const_void ,

Not really true any more. The build quality isn't as good as it used to be and the upgradability has suffered too.

const_void ,

Pay now or pay later.

const_void ,

Lenovo uses proprietary, closed source firmware. There's no way to know what it's doing.

const_void ,

Requires a phone number to sign up. No thanks.

const_void ,

Aren't you just DoSing yourself at that point?

const_void ,

Firefox is the biggest offender for me. ~/.mozilla instead of something sane like ~/.config/firefox

const_void ,

Delivery

Wouldn't want to have to move your body to get your artery clogging food

const_void ,

Squawker doesn't work any longer either

const_void ,

Not really. Lenovo have a close relationship with Microsoft and they use proprietary, closed source firmware.
