Not bashing on Gentoo or anything, but it’s when I realized why Arch was “simple.”

That’s funny. I switched from Slackware to Gentoo in 2003 because it was simpler.

I’ve enjoyed using proton for my own domain. Adding another 2-3 domains and a second user raises the cost to the point that I just can’t justify. ~$200 up front for two years.

Step 1) Rename the country to something more hip. Possibly USX.

Step 2) Have everyone sign a pledge to work twice as hard.

Step 3) Cut everything that has a budget.

Step 4) Profit?

I snapped this at my local library last week.

In a generic community like c/AskLemmy it’s pretty far down the list of options.

I haven’t done that in a long time.

Most recently I probably overclocked my original playstation portable.

I went local with my music collection.

I’m not sure if it ticks all your boxes. But there are many options for subsonic servers and clients - you can probably give it a good test run on Mac/iPhone as well. I managed to migrate from spotify painlessly enough to pass the wife test.

I’m running navidrome as server and tempo on my phone. It’ll either stream from my self-hosted server, or play offline if I’ve downloaded that playlist.

That brings a whole new meaning to impostor syndrome.

I’ve got one of them miyoo minis running OnionOS on the crapper.

It goes into deep sleep and resumes my gameplay in seconds. With my toilet time the battery lasts months. I’ve finished four games in the last year split into 700 poop sessions.

Thanks for the tip!

This was a long-standing showstopper for me & Wayland. I got rid of my work computer instead, but if I get another one I’ll be sure to test this out.

When I was little we’d play this game called auts.

The levels were basically just bitmaps with one colour signed as alpha.

I scanned a picture of my math teacher just so we could fly around it and blow it up. Good times.

https://www.59-north.com/ take you on as crew for different lengths of legs. I think they usually go back and forth with two boats per year.

Same. I bought some 70 bitcoins for 50€ when I first heard of it. Kept mining on a radeon 9770 or something at about 1BTC or 5€ per week. Electricity was included in my rent then, but I stopped because fan noise.

I lost a bunch on mtgox. Cashed out for a down payment on a house way too early (2016). I’d be rich if I had hodled.

I usually travel by car and with my dogs out of necessity.

Airbnb is the most cost-effective when you need a room that allows dogs.

and not lose files

Which is exactly why you’d want to run a CoW filesystem with redundancy.

I switched in 1997.

The internet was taking off, and it was built on Linux and un*ces. It was just a lot more fun.

Also, C-programming. M$ had just gotten protected memory in NT4.0, but a lot of applications just didn’t run on NT. It’d take another three years before protected memory hit mainstream with win2k. No novice programmer wants their computer to bluescreen every time they do a tiny little out of bounds error.

I worked at a niche factory some 20 years ago. We had a tape robot with 8 tapes at some 200GB each. It’d do a full backup of everyone’s home directories and mailboxes every week, and incremental backups nightly.

We’d keep the weekly backups on-site in a safe. Once a month I’d do a run to another plant one town over with a full backup.

I guess at most we’d need five tapes. If they still use it, and with modern tapes, it should scale nicely. Today’s LTO-tapes are 18TB. Driving five tapes half an hour would give a nice bandwidth of 50GB/s. The bottleneck would be the write speed to tape at 400MB/s.

Was just about to chime in with the same. I haven’t had any contacts on briar, but plenty on meshtastic. Both serve the same purpose. Meshtastic needs a bit of extra hardware but has great range, briar works on your phone as-is.

Sounds like it’s localStorage. But I’d expect that to be covered by “site data” in that option.

It’s a bit like cookies, but just for one site. Some think they can avoid cookie consent banners with localStorage.

Firefox has a page on the topic.
