running a jellyfin server on something like this may not be pleasant, so it depends on what you are trying to do with this machine.

for most things, yeah - it will be fine; however, if you are planning to do live transcoding, running an llm, or other compute-heavy tasks, the box will need to be upgraded.

i mainly bike and am in america (its shitty). i search on GM for a company, grab the address, plug it in to OSMand, and use the bike routing - its extremely good.

there are options in OSMand where you can “prefer biways” - use it… its great. every time there is a bad, unsafe, or non-existant crossing, you can tap-hold -> avoid road and it will only avoid that tiny block you selected. sooooooooo good.

im biking ~7mi one-way this evening (do it once weekly; its a bit longer than my usual rides of <3mi), but all of the roads i hate are already avoided, and i only have to take a little bit of unpaved rocky shit “sidewalk” path to get there (a super busy freeway overpass; im not riding in the street)

owning a hammer is not a crime, bashing in a car window with it is.

also, it is currently illegal for car owners to put custom firmware in their cars & there is no open standard to allow 3rd party software. all stolen cars should be refunded by the manufacturer for forcing us to use their shitty soft/firmware.

no hate! you actually found a use for them! :o

though nowadays i usually research heavily and fix hardware problems more often, i have reinstalled linux many times due to weird issues i did not understand many times. its okay, it happens to us all <3

i think im ~#6 :)

oof, no wifi is kind of a dealbreaker for me; i have a home server and really dont want to have to be VPN’d into my home all the time :(

looks like fairphone 6 doesnt have much support on postmarket yet, but i’ll keep an eye on it - ty <3

i know it is still google, but i just started searching ebay for a used pixel 9 - looks like they are around $400-500 (pixel 10 came out last month). i figure getting graphene os on one of these may be an inexpensive path forward… still looking for good options, tho.

i’ll have to check out fairphone. i remember something about them not being available in the US, but that may be old news.

im honestly surprised that everyone has forgotten about duke numem forever.

on second thought, its not that surprising… nvm.

also: included benefits.

honk.

intel stock cooler says it all.

it can make them more brittle (eapecially alongside prolonged time in the elements outside), but in a controlled environment like this it should be fine for a while :)

i have been trying to understand what information i send to people and how i send it in an attempt to try and get as lottle data into msrecall as possible.

im not quite there yet (and probably wont be before the oct cutoff) because my mother still uses windows & emails me sometimes, and a few of my friends on discord use windows. its really difficult because i have no control over my data being scraped by products i do not use and have never accepted a eula for. its… aggravating :(

tell your friends.

there is a reaching hand that goes further than just using it for work.

lets say you open libreoffice writer and write a party invite. you send this party invite to a friend - they are invited to your party.

your friend opens it in MSWord, its uploaded to the cloud and scraped for all of your personal data to train their AI and to be sold to the lowest bidder.

you had and want nothing to do with microsoft, but they are still harvesting your data.

not the person you replied to, but i have been using cloudflare zero trust for my streaming needs; have not gotten a complaint yet.

just make sure you have the upload bandwidth.

i selfhost gitlab for my own use. its similar to github, but is a bit of a resource hog and the project tracking is a bit wonky to use. i have heard gitea is really low resource usage, but has fewer features.

im not sure if this counts because its still in early access, but this game is one of those that is perpetually in early access without plans to legit release (like project zombiid, etc).

i picked up Turing Complete and have been learning(painfully slowly) how to make cpu’s : D

mmmmm sales of the original game when a sequel comes out is regularly :chefkiss:
