I did the same.
Reddit showed it didn’t give a fsck about my user experience with their banning of third party apps, but they still wanted to sell the content I put the effort in to providing.
Screw you guys. You want to make money off hosting my words, whatever. But don’t stick a pineapple up my arse at the same time and expect me not to feel it.
I used to play Tetris on my OG monochrome Gameboy obsessively. I would go through stages where I’d put a fresh set of batteries in and play until they went flat in one go. The only limiting factor on my game time was the availability of AA batteries in the vicinity. It got to the point where I’d be dreaming about playing it, and when putting things away I’d stack things Tetris style and get angry when things wouldn’t fit together cleanly.
Then one day I just stopped and never felt the urge again. Thank goodness.
I can’t enjoy Factorio… It just feels like I’m at work. I don’t even think I’ve finished the tutorial levels yet.
My wife and I have had our location shared with each other for years, but it’s not a “Are they cheating?” thing. I have been married for 14 years and never wonder if my wife is cheating on me. It’s just incredibly useful for seeing how far away one of us is from home to do things like plan dinner prep times, know where to look for a lost phone, etc. If you can’t trust your SO, there is something wrong that you need to address and micro-managing where they are is toxic.
My wife and I are the same. Shared location means rather than a message saying “are you on your way home?” you can just check where they’re at. If I’m out on a late night callout she can see where I am instead of worrying or constantly pinging for updates. Meeting somewhere? Live updates keeps everyone in sync, and let’s you know if you’ve got time to do something on the way or if they’re already waiting or whatever.
People must be in some super unhappy relationships if they see location sharing as nefarious.
If any service requires me to send a photo of myself to use it, I ain’t using it.
EDIT: lol wut, Facebook and YouTube want photo ID now?? I must be old enough to have missed out. My comment stands though, if I wasn’t already a member on either of those I guess I wouldn’t become one!
I love healthchecks. It’s so simple and easy to incorporate in to… anything much?
I was reading old mates comment thinking… This dude is just describing reading a book.
This is the year of the Linux dickstop.
The scientists claim this identifier, a pattern derived from Wi-Fi Channel State Information, can re-identify a person in other locations most of the time when a Wi-Fi signal can be measured. Observers could therefore track a person as they pass through signals sent by different Wi-Fi networks – even if they’re not carrying a phone.
Are there any scientists out there working in stuff that’s useful and beneficial to society? Or are they all just focusing on sneaky shit that makes it easier for The Man to make our life worse?
I’m still sad the original (good) NBN got replaced by the janky NBN that’s taken years to fix.
Malcolm Turnbull is the one I blame most for that. It was his party’s policy, but it was his charisma and perceived technology knowledge that sold it.
And he did it for the chance of being PM, not because it was the correct course of action for the betterment of the people he was supposed to be representing.
Imagine selling out an entire country’s future for a promotion. What a cockhead.
Disappointed it wasn’t tbh
There’s plenty of good content out there, it just isn’t necessarily the popular content.
Would definitely recommend installing the *arrs, and letting it roll on an automated list like an Imdb watchlist full of stuff you’ve never heard of.
Or how likely you are to steal money, especially in a role with access to cash or bank accounts.
I didn’t pirate for years when Netflix was the bomb. Then it all started going to poop but I kept the subscription running while I sailed the seven seas with the thought that it was just a little bit of a reduced library, it’s still good. It’s just a heap of shows cancelled after one season and even more content missing, it’s still good. But after a few years I had to accept that like a pig soaring over a dam, it was gone. So now no one gets my money.
Except my ISP, private indexers, a VPN company, and various hard drive manufacturers I guess.
I’ve run Nextcloud since OwnCloud was the only option, with zero issues on any setup - be it direct, via snap, or via docker.
(EDIT: Out of interest I looked up the first subdomain I can remember using - it sent my username the login details in February 2015 so that’s over a decade now!).
On a cheap VPS, a dedicated box, and now self hosted since I finally have a decent enough connection to support it. Ran out of storage on the VPS, then the 4TB dedicated box, now on 120TB self hosted (Nextcloud only using around 6TB mind you). CPU and RAM were never an issue.
Mostly documents (PDF, ODS, ODT), photos and videos from jobs, and some people (myself included) use the storage to back up their phone gallery.
I use shared and private folders, shared and private calendars, and shared and private contact lists on Android, iOS, and PCs (Windows and Linux). I have a public upload directory for customers to send us files and often share files directly using expiring read only links.
It’s easy and it works, no idea wtf people are doing to have so much drama with it.
I’ve got 512GB of RAM in my server, and 128GB of RAM on my desktop cause you can never have too much.
I’m not even a member of lemm.ee and was aware of it closing today*
* - timezone dependent but +/-24hours.
The downside of doing this is that the shares always show out of sync in the UI.
For someone who likes everything showing green, those purple warnings hurt my soul
I’m on Tildes, and it’s a good site for discussion without the constant memes and accusations of everyone being a communist / not communist / slightly communist / whatever else seems to get thrown around on Lemmy.
Not real sure why RIF dude chose that site to write an app for though. The site itself is basically exactly the same as the app. Very clean, very simple, no wasted space. It’s even better than old.reddit at prioritising content over pretty pictures.
Lemmy would benefit much more from a RIF app, even if Voyager and the like do a pretty good job as it stands.
That means every one of your disks is >13TB? That’s expensive!
