...but we never stopped to ask if we should

That's my gold standard. I've used just about everything under the sun. They've all failed, except this one. I have a few of these now. They've survived all kinds of punishment. Hell even being left in my pocket and going through several wash/dry cycles.

I have an upcoming contender if it keeps going, and it's a Kingston Lexar. 128gig I use mostly for work. All metal housing, no moving parts and attached to my keychain. It's not been wash/dried yet. But it goes with me every day. And it's used nearly daily too.

Edit: Nvm, just looked at right now, my keychain drive is also Lexar, so NVM, Lexar all day 'er day.

Is this any different than the legit apps?

/S

terminhell ,

It's still around and used. I see it most often with my lawyer clients. Hotkey templates and key words. Idk when they talk about issues it sounds like marketing buzzwords to me haha. I rarely use any word processing apps.

Using DattoRMM to deploy CW RMM via scripting???

Does anyone know how Connectwise RMM does scripting deployments FROM other RMM tools? We are having a tough time trying to figure out how to pass our site tokens through as part of an installation script from DattoRMM, and none of the documentation seems to align correctly. Someone told us it would be something like ...

To be fair, there is and has been a KDE spin. I can see an argument for gnome, as it's overall the simpler environment. Simple defaults has been fedoras thing for a long time.

terminhell ,

Isn't this the topic Jayztwocents has talked about recently? AIB's making up their own defaults for cpu performance.

What's the threshold for quantum tunneling to be an issue? Cuz at such small scales, particles can...teleport through stuff.

terminhell ,

It'll look the same to normies lol

Parents, do better ffs

True privacy is impossible at this point. Born into the system, molded by it...

I use the percentile die for that.

Why do we have to do the health insurance company's job for them?

Just so tired of almost every time a doctor submits stuff to insurance, we have to be the ones to make multiple phone calls to both the doctor's office and insurance to iron everything out, figure out what the issue is (it's always a different issue), and basically be the go-between for the office and insurance. What am I...

Generally depends on the device. Overall, KDE for desktops, Gnome for laptops. Xfce on older devices.

Jokes on them, I start the pump and walk inside to get a drink/snack. By the time I get back I'm done pumping.

terminhell ,

There are still a need for document printing at home. Granted it's just smaller in scale these days. Mine is mostly used for the kids. Like printing out things to color on, or something educational. On rare occasions I'll need to print some kinda form, for work or some kinda government form, even event tickets.

That said, I really don't know anyone that's looking to photo print at home anymore. It's just cheaper to have it done somewhere like Walgreens or Walmart.

terminhell ,

Can confirm, I've been using it for about three years now. With some minimal tweaks for my own us case.

It auto updates itself, can use LetsEncrypt. I've had an A to A+ rating from their own security thing. It does usually stay a few minor point releases behind, but that's never been an issue for me.

terminhell ,

Maybe, but with V being just as chromed as Smasher (internally at least), with subdermal armor plating and all that. I'd imagine most gunfire would be more like a pellet gun. Sure one shot won't kill ya, but a few dozen/hundred ya.

Also nano bots? Idk it's silly lol

terminhell ,

I got a small xerox laser. It's fantastic. Works on everything I'm the house, including phones, tablets, windows and Linux. It's a bit more eh feature rich than I was expecting, but after tinkering in the settings I've not had to touch it in years.

terminhell ,

It's a xerox B230 if you're interested. It's small, and as survived cats, a 4yr old and several water spills lol.

terminhell ,

I will say, despite some of the reviews, and as an IT guy - set it up on wired lan. And add it as a network IP printer. Apparently the software (USB I'm assuming from reviews) is a sore spot for some. I see it up out of the box on my network and have never had any (non self inflicted) issues.

Edit: no software needed with IP, from any of my devices.

terminhell ,

Aux cable from the out port to input on PC. Open recorder app and hit record. Save files. Upload to phone.

Well ya, but I thought the we were talking about ripping vinyl

terminhell ,

What's wrong with pickles?

terminhell ,

I'm speechless, ina bad way.

terminhell ,

I set mine up with a no-ip dyndns for free. Lots of options here op. But in the long run having any domain is going to smooth out the process. Also don't skip over LetsEncrypt cert.

terminhell ,

For work, ya I've found it useful. Personally, at home no.

terminhell ,

Good, run that into the ground too and be rid of it.

terminhell ,

I'm a bigger, tall guy. 6'4", and in my mid 20's 280+lbs. I was hired to deal with big heavy stuff. I'm no body builder by any means. Just larger framed. Still, often was hired to be a two legged horse. At the time I could do it. Now, I'm paying for it.

terminhell ,

I'ma just use my smart phone to, make a call. Or send a letter in the mail. I'm not about to do this lol.

How responsive is your Nextcloud?

My Nextcloud has always been sluggish — navigating and interacting isn't snappy/responsive, changing between apps is very slow, loading tasks is horrible, etc. I'm curious what the experience is like for other people. I'd also be curious to know how you have your Nextcloud set up (install method, server hardware, any other...

terminhell ,

Overall good. The only slowness is right after login. After it loads everything it's pretty responsive. Using the snap version (I know, snap bad. But in this case it was the only way I got it going.).

Self updates,.get email notifications when it updateab

terminhell ,

Maybe, but I kinda think Dale wouldn't bother with crypto thinking it's some kinda government psyops or some conspiracy lol

terminhell ,

Can we get a list of companies NOT doing this? I'd assume it's going to be much shorter.

Is ai creating alt text now?

Also, ya no system is crash proof =(

Just saying that it kinda reads. Like an ai prompt

I can only go by people like Luis Rossman on Mac stuff, but I've done my fair amount of Chromebook repairs. Granted it's been a few years, and most were dell and splash of HP/Lenovo. Hardware wise there's not much to them, physically. Pretty easy with simple tools. However, the shimming/reloading the OS is a whole different monster. Dell was the easiest, but was still involved.

terminhell ,

From what I remember, even the dell process was a testament to following instructions to the T. Having to do some steps with the battery connected, then more with it disconnected, then connected again. HP used some special screw for board locking. Lol what a wild time.

Ya don't need ATT's modem. Some copy pasta I've put together:

If it's fiber, you don't need the modem. You'll still need it once every few months.

Things you'll need:

  1. your own router
  2. cheap 4 port switch (1gig pref)

Setup: Connect gpon (the little fiber converter box they installed on the wall near modem) wan to any port on 4port switch. Then from switch to gpon port of modem (usually red or green port). Make sure modem fully syncs. Once this happens, you can move the cable from the modem to your own routers wan port. Done! Allow router a few moments to sync as well.

Now, every once in a while they'll send a line refresh signal that will break this, or if a power outage occurs. In such case, you'll just plug back in their modem, move cable back to gpon port of modem, wait for sync. Move cable back to router.

Bonus: Hook up all this to a battery backup and you'll have Internet even during power outages, at least for a while.

Last I looked, I couldn't find a Linux version of Vivaldi. Which is strange as I'm pretty sure their beta releases did. Been a hot minute since I've looked again. Other than being chromium based, I liked what I seen. It's almost like kde developed it with its staggering feature set lol.

terminhell ,

My new PC has 64g ram. But I'm also not using or plan to use windows. Checkmate M$!

But in all seriousness, 8g is like, the foundational minimum these days. Sad tbh. Browsers are so bloated these days. I'm surprised that browsers haven't become their own OS yet. It kinda feels that way in some environments.

terminhell ,

ChromeOS is more of an OS built to optimize a browser though. Its close though.

RaspberryPi becoming unresponsive at random intervals

Issue Description: I have been having this issue with my raspberry pi running dietPi where it seems to lock up and I cannot SSH / access any of the services on it. The interesting part is that the interface seems to be up and I can still ping it on the local network but shows no video output. usually I get about 3-6 days before...

terminhell ,

Not sure if the rpi3 can use the 64bit version, or if it's possible for it use an SSD like the the 4 can?

terminhell ,

Nuclear power at small scale is already in use in devices. Some medical devices, smoke detectors etc. As long as there is proper shielding, the enclosure is robust enough, and the overall device is made easily serviceable, I'm all for it. I can understand the fear sentiment of anything flagged as radioactive, but radiation is all around us already. Idk, but the less we can ditch super toxic and explosive lithium the better.

terminhell ,

My grampa had a pacemaker that was.

Edit: Source - https://osrp.lanl.gov/pacemakers.shtml

Edit2: For the smoke detectors, i know its not what powers it per se, as far as the electronics that sound the alarm and such. More pointing out it contains radioactive material, and is something in every (hopefully) house, and you likely walk by it often.
