I might be ok with this if they also had "ebb" pricing. If I could walk in at 8pm and get a burger for a buck, it might be worth it never to go at lunchtime again.

This, of course, will never happen.

I don't think it's the software that's keeping it in the background. The instances I visit have seemed very functional. I think it's the simple fact that hosting large amounts.of video is really expensive in terms of storage space, bandwidth, and processor time (for transcoding). For a recreational self-hosting individual, it's just too much.

If Scientology is against something, we should probably try to implement it at all costs. I consider this to one of the general tenets of humanity.

I think you all just have weak thumbs. I've always opened them just as the package says to. Never had a problem.

As a kid, I would have thumb wrestling matches with my older brother, and sometimes, on weekends, I'd hitchhike. I used my thumbs a lot. I've had to replace 4 space bars on my keyboard.

Never skip thumb day.

TikTok is correct. Ban them all.

This is why. https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/6/23948464/bored-ape-nft-event-eye-injury-sunburn-uv-exposure

"It's not rocket surgery."

This one irks me. Combination of "rocket scientist" and "brain surgery".

If you fired a gun past an MRI machine, could it conceivably catch the bullets? I am currently assuming that significant deflection is absolutely possible with such a powerful magnet.

I'm not sure if the ADHD got worse or it was just the consequences that got worse. Either way, I've had to try to find coping mechanisms. I make a lot of lists and use the reminder app on my phone a lot.

The first thing I do when researching a new electronic thing is to search "[brand] home assistant" to see if there is already an integration for their stuff. If not, I usually keep looking.

I remember running Slackware and having to recompile the kernel for just about any hardware you added. I configured a box to be used as a router before routers were something you could get commonly at Best Buy.

I was taking comp. sci. at university and all our work was done on Sparc workstations. Having a Unix-like machine at home was a great help during that time

I could honestly care less about the video games, but the Bandcamp news is devastating. Is there anywhere else where you can buy lossless DRM-free music?

+1 for long-ass backup script. First dump the databases with the appropriate command. Currently, I have only MariaDB and Postgres instances. Then, I use Borg to backup the database dumps and the docker volumes.

Database SQL dumps compress very well. I haven't had any problems yet

Navidrome is still the best music server, even with all of its limitations. For what it's worth, the developer is currently working on features intended to support multiple music libraries. It's going to happen eventually.

Nothing spurred my son to read (and then read better and faster) more than the fact that it was required to play video games.

Just put a candidate endorsement in porn to make it political.

Yes, obviously, I could Google this, but I'm looking for real peoples' opinions. I've owned OnePlus and LG android phones previously to my current Samsung. I loved my OnePlus phones, but my current provider doesn't support them.

Edit: LOL. I just realized you were suggesting Google as an android phone manufacturer.

Tiny aerosolized particles of toilet tissue from constantly unrolling it.

I abhor those Temu YouTube ads.

The Chicken Dance.

I remember this thread! Before I saw this comment, I had already gone to look it up again:

Here's the initial post of Verionica's video on booting from ISO files: https://linuxmom.net/@vkc/112905487325961707
And here's the post on 'The Ventoy conspiracy": https://linuxmom.net/@vkc/112906968594601449

What is the best Android phone manufacturer after we count out Samsung?

I don't think my kids have ever used a Windows machine. I have a couple of machines at home that both run Linux Mint and they use Chromebooks at school. There is not much software that they need that is not either a web page or also available natively.

Does nextcloud deck have recurring tasks yet? I didn't think it did.

Thia sucks, I have an S23 and I'm up to date with patches, but I don't see this option.

Edit: Just realized that I'm only on OneUI 6.0.

I always thought that the word "island" was just short for "isolated land" -- There has to be some reason there's an 's' in there right?. But some etymologist told me it didn't come to be in that manner.

Scientific notation for everything: 5 x 10^6 m. Seriously though, I think it would be easier to think about it in megameters or gigameters if it were more standard to do so.

I currently use AntennaPod with NextCloud's version of GPodderSync; which is...adequate.

My ultimate solution would be one where a self-hosted app that tracks and download my podcasts, and then proxy them with some sync mechanism to an android app, but keep them as separate shows with artwork and stuff rather than consolidate them into one feed. I could then choose to listen on the self-hosted web interface or the Android app, and they would be kept in sync.

I'm totally going to try this.

Testify!

Best side effect of the insulated bottles is not having to use a coaster because they don't sweat.

I've got two just lying around. What image can I use for the Android auto adapter?

Doesn't it bug you that the LMDE logo in neofetch has the top line messed up? I have all my local systems patches and there is a PR up on their repo for it.

I feel this comment so much. Like you, I'm a Symfonium user, after reluctantly admitting that DSub has stagnated. I really wish someone would just assume that mantle.

Tempo is probably the best of the current FOSS subsonic-compatible apps, and it ticks most of the boxes, but it still has a way to go to become my daily music app. I posted a review/wishlist in its GitHub discussions for what it could implement to be great in my view, but development seems really slow for it. It might be just one guy, I'm not sure.

Here's hoping things get better!

I currently use Jellyfin and Navidrome. JF just seems really awkward for music. It's like it tries to treat music and video like the same kind of entities, and they just aren't.

I really really want a better FOSS -compatible music app.

I still use Windows for work, but the last version I used on any of my personal computers was XP.

If AI is better than the existing voice-prompt systems, then I'll take it, but I doubt it will be.
