  • YSK that americans can now deduce private jet expenses from their taxes

    Jump

  • If I get write-offs for my bike collection, I will also be stimulating the construction sector as I barely have room to store them all as it is. :-D

  • Why go through the trouble to use Arch?

    Jump

  • Not a mean question at all. I haven't had more difficulty keeping a working system than I did on Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, etc. I get everything I need in Arch and the packages are always fresh off the grill. I also like the emphasis on text config files and a ground-up install. That helped me better understand my system and how it works.

    No idea about performance. My performance recommendation is "don't run Windows!" :)

  • Replacing Ring Doorbell w/ Reolink - How has HA - Reolink - Frigate worked out for you?

    Jump

  • You are correct. That wasn't the most descriptive statement on my part :D

    The black Reolink WiFi doorbell one was what I purchased. I was tempted by the PoE one because it would avoid using WiFi bandwidth but there's no cable in that area.

  • Replacing Ring Doorbell w/ Reolink - How has HA - Reolink - Frigate worked out for you?

    Jump

  • My partner had a preference for the wider FOV so I got the black one. It paired no problem and after banging my head against the wall for a while I got the stream working in Home Assistant, VLC, then Frigate. I haven't decided how I want to handle the recording. I have yet to set up notifications and I'm not certain if my doorbell circuit is providing enough power, which would explain why the Bezos Bell sucked at keeping a charge (also surveiling your customers all day takes a lot of juice). This may become a slightly bigger project if I have to rerun the wiring.

    There was a lot of hype around this bell and that naturally makes me skeptical, but rarely have I had a device pair and get to a functional state that quickly, even in most proprietary apps. We'll see how it works out once I have it wired in.

  • Simplest Path to Jellyfin Access for the Developmentally Disabled

    Jump

  • Yeah, easier is better. I'll have to confirm what apps outside of Jellyfin and Chromecast are needed, but I'll compare some basic Roku devices. I could probably score one a online neighborhood marketplace for a few bucks.

    Thanks for weighing in.

  • I get a lot of ideas in the shower. Do any of you use any kind of waterproof note taking pad and pen so you can catch those ideas before they vanish in the steam?

    Jump

  • Inb4 I compose a 4 act opera about my week's schedule during my first shower of the week. :D

  • swww renamed to awww, due to the author's guilt from obliviously naming it "final solution"

    Jump

  • I noticed the same thing with KDE and Wayland. Sometimes my curser still grows 10 sizes or shrinks as I pass over certain windows or between monitors but things are more consistent and predictable than they used to be.

  • Does anyone have experience with Mumble?

    Jump

  • My Minecraft pals used mumble at various points. It's less polished than some options. I like the FOSS and the simplicity but the certificates confused me as a noob. Would still recommend.

  • Popular Tech Youtuber Enderman loses his YouTube channel after AI error

    Jump

  • Every cycle of enshittification sends more people looking for alternatives. Remember the rebirth of "piracy" which streaming had all but killed for the most normal normies? People crave the system, but it's possible they'll slowly come around. Will it be fast enough. That's for us to find out. I gently encourage people to think about more than just tomorrow because that short term proprietary bullcrap isn't worth it in the long term. Definitely hear you though and it does feel that uphill sometimes.

  • Popular Tech Youtuber Enderman loses his YouTube channel after AI error

    Jump

  • Not to mention you can fit more Reddit on a 1TB hard drive than YouTube, which makes it much easier to exfiltrate content.

  • Popular Tech Youtuber Enderman loses his YouTube channel after AI error

    Jump

  • I have a feeling that the YouTube apocalypse will be much harder to watch (as in "more sad/unpleasant") than the Reddit apocalypse.

  • Replacing Ring Doorbell w/ Reolink - How has HA - Reolink - Frigate worked out for you?

    Jump

  • I was curious about that. I settled on the black one for my space, though I haven't ordered yet and I probably would also be happy with white. There is a long straight wall to the right of my door, so I need basically no FOV to the right and the left can sweep the whole yard in the background.

  • How often do you update software on your servers?

    Jump

  • I do sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

    Is there any reason to not combine the commands since the output always prompts prior to changes anyway?

  • Deleted

    Linux users, what are you doing on your laptop?

    Jump

  • Sometimes I just do a quick lspci && lsblk on a blank terminal so I can have a draggable, resizeabled privacy screen for my notes or whatever I'm working on. It looks complicated which scares 95% of people away immediately.

  • Documenting the descent into madness

    Jump

  • I started my Linux journey as a poor high school college student and while I got hand-me-down windows machines at home, I worried about breaking them fiddling with things beyond my knowledge level. A budget basement eeePC became my workbench and I started tinkering. I had to drive to the next city to find one in stock. Today the gas would cost more than the computer. :-D

    I'd still be running the eee but it got put in the closet when many distros dropped 32 bit support.

  • How do you introduce the Fediverse to other people?

    Jump

  • Yup, I just namedrop Lemmy and don't explain unless people ask. Usually then the explanation is simple and about how I've chosen not to use Reddit for ethical reasons.

  • That's how it rules where I went

    Jump

  • If it was a German story, someone would have shaved all the heads of all the little snot-noses laughing at him, a la "The Inky Boys"

  • What does the social power heirarchy in the United States look like? What are the different classes?

    Jump

  • I don't have he data to back this up, so take it with a shaker full of salt:

    The Psychopathic Owners: People with the individual net worth of small countries who have already assembled ownership or at least control over of the majority of everything under themselves. Have enough power to choke out everyone else if anyone steps too far out of line. The law does not apply to them and they break it with impunity. No empathy, often self-deleduded and think they're Gods gift to the world.

    The Big Boy on the Playground: This person has accumulated enough wealth to feel superior to the average poor person. They may think they're rich and can do whatever they want, so they make good fall-guys for the truly rich. They often have outward signifiers of wealth, but are blinded by the ego trip of being daddy's favorite.

    The Poor Ignorant PoS: Most people, this category is broad and blends smoothly into the one above it with no one delineation to separate the two.

  • You get an unlimited supply of a single item to survive post-apocalypse. What are you choosing, and why?
