People will cite a lot of issues with nextcloud’s performance and stability, and I do get that it’s a bit bloated, but anecdotally it’s worked pretty much fine for me since day 1 (minus a few self-inflicted issues mostly regarding permissions). I’m not using the AIO though, I just use the nextcloud docker image with my own collabora instance running alongside it
On the peripheral end, ElGato. You can usually get their stuff to work but they provide little to no support, usually have issues to work out, and you’ll always be relying on third party replacements for their software.
I got a stream deck plus with the xlr dock, since even though I quit content creation I like what it provides and have no reason to downgrade my mic, but the thing has been a headache and a half ever since I switched to cachyOS.
He took the money from that franchise and went wild with it, doing whatever crazy ass roles he wants and it’s so good to see. Not to mention how incredibly outspoken he’s been about trans rights and JKR’s bigotry.
hehehe that’s the weed number
Pretty much. The only reason any “leaders” outside the USSR got involved is because it was hurting their own personal interests and their bottom line. If those atrocities were happening to anyone else (or even just anywhere else), world “leaders” would either have supported them or not gotten involved at all.
Sure, the people on the ground did genuinely just want to put a stop to it, but their commanders and leaders didn’t really care about mass genocide - they just cared that it was the “wrong” people being killed.
I mean there’s literally no question about the Nazis being a genuinely evil fascist regime. But it is pretty obvious looking back that WWII only happened because it was primarily happening against white people - we’re seeing another holocaust-scale event right now but it’s totally okay because it’s happening to the “right” people this time.
If the original Nazis targeted any other group of people, they probably would have gained and held on to global support from the major world powers, like Israel has right now.
Same. I’ve never been much of a tv/movie person in general, but netflix in its prime was fantastic. But nowadays there are like 30 different streaming services, every single one is egregiously priced, and everything has their own exclusive libraries. Hell I’m surprised they’re not streaming genAI slop “movies” yet at the rate they’re all going (or maybe they already are, who knows). Fuck all of that noise.
Spotify did the same thing for me years ago. Went from a hand-maintained local library to Spotify, held on to that for like 10 years, ditched them at the start of this year when they were overwhelmingly supporting fascists with political donations. Switched to Tidal for a bit since it has higher quality and better artist payouts, but today I’m right back to hosting a local library (which is better than ever these days), buying what I can directly from artists to support them rather than subscription fees.
I started my homelab with a couple exposed services, but frankly the security upkeep and networking headaches weren’t worth the effort when 99% of this server’s usage is at home anyway.
I’ve considered going the Pangolin route to expose a handful of things for family but even that’s just way too much effort for very little added value (plus moving my reverse proxy to a VPS doesn’t sound ideal in case the internet here goes down).
Getting 2 or 3 extra folks on to wireguard as necessary is just much easier.
It’s definitely not a budget option but it’s arguably the most worthwhile for the cost.
Horseshoe theory isn’t real lol
Yeah this is why it’s so offputting seeing so much praise for him here. I don’t believe he’s ever outright apologized and owned up to what he’s said and done in the past (I could be wrong though?). Last I checked the dude was literally a neo nazi.
Big vouch for streaming. I mostly use my deck at home so I can play on the couch instead of staying cooped up in the office after spending all day at the same desk for work.
The deck can run a lot of games natively surprisingly well, sure, but sunshine/moonlight are incredible. Even games that run fine natively, I’ll still typically stream to my deck instead just for the battery life.
Seeding torrents will be next to impossible without it, especially for private trackers. It’s pretty vital for torrenting. Anything else, doesn’t matter.
I used Mullvad for a year and love the service, but they explicitly don’t allow port forwarding, so I recently switched to Proton. Their CEO’s comments last year still feel disgusting and I trust them as a company far less than I trust Mullvad as a result, but the service they offer is stellar regardless.
From what I understand, Mullvad is the top choice for a privacy-focused daily driver VPN, while Proton is the best choice for torrenting while still functioning just fine for daily use.
Same two here. CoMaps for general use, Magic Earth for navigation. Hopefully a true FOSS alternative comes along at some point.
Same. Individual states seceding would get nowhere. New England as a whole? That could work lmao
I’ve been subtly trying to get my wife off of it for ages but at least with pihole clients and groups I can block it off everything on my network that she doesn’t use
Seconding this one. Legitimately the best casual use controllers I’ve ever used. Does everything it needs to, works flawlessly out of the box, offers plenty of customization for those who want to dive deeper, and just feels great to use.
I remember when I first got my OLED it refused to connect to my router until I disabled the 160hz band. That seems to be fixed now, but I wonder if they reintroduced that bug or something in the beta at some point.
Same. Literally never heard of them before. Just bought a bunch of their shit and it’s actually so good
