I love when people switch on the same machine and experience a performance boost. They finally start to understand all my under breath muttering about hating windows and it’s geriatric bloatware.

Not a comment but a question- does this potentially affect Lemmy servers as well?
What is the next LTS kernel and when is it slated for release? 24.04-ish?
Indeed it is good to learn: ipv6.he.net/certification is a free course everybody should take the first 2-3 levels of.
The login credentials you create for that website will allow you to login to their sister site tunnelbroker.net and claim a /48 delegation for your DDNS tunnel, also free, to promote the changeover to v6 from v4, especially for people with dynamic WAN IPS from their ISP and no IPv6.
The SSD upgrade is almost critical, and when you install the OS, be sure to include a swap partition (2GB is enough) that functions as a system buffer/parallel & virtual RAM. A bigger RAM chip can’t hurt either. This is exactly what I’ve done for a very similar machine mentioned in another post of this thread.
I’m actually just enjoying watching things here grow, come to life. I’m loving the energy of that. It’s so positive.
Exactly, vindicating. Best example I have is my 72yr old mother, with her very old Celeron laptop that originally came with Win7, but Win10 has bogged down: stick in a current kubuntu usb live image usb and she doesn’t have time to make a cup of tea while it boots anymore. She won’t have to buy a new one anytime soon either…but an SSD upgrade may be a good idea.
Lubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu…I’ve gone from Lu to Xu, but I think I’ll end up with ku because PipeWire and wayland and flatpak (I get the impression that they’re the way forward for the next while…). They’ll make pretty much anything work better than whatever windows version retired them.
WireGuard is increasingly popular as far as I can tell. And if I understand correctly, designed more for IPv6.
Real Debrid?
Does anybody know of similar for non-Firefox people?
Back before I knew about Debrid services and was fooling around with kodi (5yrs ago roughly), every now and again the email I get from my ISP received “cease and desist” notices from HBO’s lawyers stateside. I have ignored them, realizing that the network’s costs to prosecute under Canadian law (where I am) would far outweigh any judgement our courts might be able to levy.
The laws are likely in place in your jurisdiction too, it’s just that the stick is usually considered threatening enough to most people that they just pay for the carrot rather than face the consequences.
Ardour runs on Linux machines (because it was written for it iirc) and Reaper is working on RasPi iirc. You’ll have to dig deeper into those yourself, especially as they pertain to your VSTs and other software, but it’s not impossible.
Also- post-Covid supply chain is still tighter than it used to be especially for GPUs thanks to ChatGPT etc.
Agreed, derivative me too stuff is what they’re doing. But then, with the world using Office, they don’t have to work too hard to keep the lights on and their bellies full.

Where do I find the tool and how do I use it? I can’t seem to find my way to the JSON file hidden on my phone in Apollo.
It can be cute and still functional in a limited way…
Nice to meet you, guru!
Ah, it’s desktop only. I Lemmy exclusively from my iPhone with wefwef…default browser is brave as I think you sussed out.
This Is The Way
Those Atom processors don’t have the power to be much more than an in-car navigation system with MP3 playback. Forget actual web surfing. You’re actually better off with a RasPi imho.
I’d not be so confident given just how quickly the rollout happened. Remember, we’re talking only a matter of weeks. (I’m a little more comfortable with things especially with the frequency of updates this far - I’ve installed 2 today)
It’s only been a few days, perhaps a week, of me being here, but I have to admit to loving the very high signal to noise ratio. I have some learning to do about how to make communities or whatever the equivalent of subreddits are, or search to see if the place I’m thinking of might already exist, but I’ll figure it out. Let’s hope we keep growing around here.
