1·12 days agoDamn. That might be the most votes I’ve seen on any post, period.
I suspect the Linux kernel would support quantum first. Somehow I don’t see a multi billion dollar multinational moving fast enough to beat some caffeine addicted teen looking for street cred.
Before I grew enough spare capacity at home to self host our family’s server, I was using MCPro hosting. It was fine and at the time, cheap. I understand they’ve been bought by Apex now though. No experience with them.
Not OP but if I had to guess, probably Turnkey File Server.
When I was first playing with NC I was using a RPi3 with an external SSD for a drive. Performance was pretty good, but as soon as I tried the same setup in a VM, the performance tanked. The only way I found to avoid the performance penalty was a manual install like it was bare metal, which I didn’t really want to do. My experience with such setups is that they tend to be brittle.
My understanding was that the performance penalty was caused by the chain of VMs. Proxmox --> Ubuntu VM --> Docker. I don’t know enough about it to say for sure.
My NextCloud is running on an old desktop that’s been repurposed into a server. The server is running Proxmox, and NC is running in docker directly on Proxmox using the nextcloud-aio image.
Found that had better performance than running it in a VM and was less headaches than the other install options.
I keep thinking about moving it to dedicated hardware, say some sort of mini pc, but it hasn’t been a high priority for me.
Different folks, different strokes, different threat models.
An asshole. Maybe a pervert. Definitely someone I’d block. Not every negative example of humanity needs a specific name.
I started running into the same problem about 2 years ago. Found a company called Send in Blue ( which has since been bought and is now called Brevo). They’re a commercial mail sender but have a free tier. How long that will continue to be available, I don’t know, but for now it solves my email sending issues.
Because even if you have the skills needed to referb an old printer, there is no garentee that the drivers will function on a modern OS. Or in my case, in Linux. It’s a lot easier to just buy a new printer from another brand if you need a printer.
Honestly though, most people don’t print enough anymore for buying a printer to make sense. Cheaper to just go to your local Kinko’s or whatever and have them print out the 3 or 4 pages per year. If that’s not an option, get a laser printer.
21·1 month agoCould he? Certainly, his actions certainly seem to fit the text of the law. Will he, under this administration? <laughter> That would be an incredibly cold day in hell.
Perhaps the next administration might pursue charges, but that’s still quite unlikely.
Depends what you call tech. I’ve been looking for a salt nic vape (say 10 watts) in the 1 ohm range with a easily replaceable battery for the last year. Bonus points if it doesn’t leak to hell and gone. Haven’t had a whole lot of luck with that so far.
Pretty much any portable device with a standard type, user replaceable battery. God bless Ryobi and the other power tool companies for building weird but useful tools beyond power drills. All with replaceable batteries.
At one point I was looking for any type robust portable storage media that had reasonable storage capacity and good shelf life (2+ years), and was large enough to actually write on a label what was on it. So far the closest I’ve seen since 2005 have been the portable SSDs and the newish USB m.2 enclosures but that’s still not quite what I’m looking for. Too large and non-standardized. Gave up on it several years ago and built a publicly accessible Nextcloud server. Yes I’m an old fart, dislike cloud storage and miss the floppy, Zip and Mini-Disk storage formats. I currently have a dozen mystery jump drives sitting on my desk in a 3d printed rack with only the vaguest clue whats on any of them. Most of them so small you can’t even put a key tag on them. I hate it.
A reliable multi port (4 or more) USB-C charger that can output 65+ watts on all of its ports at the same time.
A reliable source for 100w USB-c 3.x PD cables that don’t cost an arm and a leg. Anker makes good PD cables but tops out at USB 2.whatever.
Pretty sure more would come to mind if I sat and though about it for a while, but I’ve got to head to work now.
The first one that comes to mind is the order on birthright citizenship. Most of others I’ve looked into are in the borderlands of maybe. I seem to recall LegalEagle did a video on it, but I haven’t seen it yet. Haven’t had time.
Here’s the video if you’re interested.
Probably a little of all of the above.
Folks that run OSs other than Windows and Mac are usually not passive sheep. If you want folks to just sit back and ignore what is going on you probably don’t want agitators in the mix.
You might try searxng, though due to the way federation works, that’s not really necessary. All you need to do is search one of the more federated instances like lemmy.world or lemmy.ml or lemmy.sdf.org and you will pull up anything that server has seen related to your search. User blocks aren’t really an issue, since you don’t need to be logged in. The only time searching multiple instances would be helpful is if you know the post originally might have come from an instance that doesn’t widely federate or is heavily blocked from federation.
Also I’ve seen quite a few folks from lemmy.ca so you might try your instance’s own search. It will usually search federated content as well as local content.
The main issue though is like @CameronDev@programming.dev suggested. Lemmy is young, it doesn’t have nearly 20 years of back archives that you can search nor the huge user base that Reddit had to create such a rich back archive. It’s getting there, but it is a problem only time and usage of Lemmy will solve.
As for the best Lemmy app, You might give Voyager a go. I use it on iOS and have been quite happy with it.
Might try Trakt. It does a pretty good job of finding things I want to watch.
What’s your utilization? On how many cores?
Starting blind, I’d start with cleaning the case, fans and heat sinks with compressed air (canned is fine, do it outside). Dust builds up, and prevents proper cooling. DO NOT LET THE FANS SPIN WHILE CLEANING THEM, the reverse current will damage your system.
Check for any failed fans.
After that, changing the thermal paste might help depending on how well or how long ago it was applied originally. Paste is cheap so no need to be stingy. Generally lasts about 5 years before beginning to degrade.
