Most people don’t know what a DE is or how to change it and training wheels are best kept on till they get the hang of all the things.

Everyone is different and learning should be in small steps rather than leaps. Always ask yourself, can my mom do this?

Just cuz KDE works well on one distro, doesn’t mean it works well on others (idk why it’s weird like that). Another thing is that sometimes it’s nice when everything is setup out of the box with no need to configure anything except theme and wallpaper.

I get most Linux users like to rice the crap out of there systems, but sometimes you just need to get work down and don’t have time for that.

Also also, there are times software maintainers don’t always release versions for your distro and not everyone wants to compile things themselves, or rewrite scripts cuz author only made it with Debian distros in mind, or something.

If you lack experience with Linux and want a more windows like UI, then go with Linux mint, you will eventually distro hop either way so start off with the easy option and enjoy it as much you can before trying new things.

At least you get the option to disable, I have it disabled, I’ll reboot when I say I will reboot.

Black mirror is so good at what it does that I can’t even watch it due to how uncomfortable it makes me feel. I have never seen a show or movie do that to me. Horror movies are children shows in comparison to Black Mirror, real nightmare fuel.

Idk if I prefer spam emails or this, both are not environmentally friendly, maybe emails take less electricity, idk, but seeing mail ads feel less intrusive than most ad delivery methods used today.

I will say, even WiFi cameras need power run to them, and I’m glad my days are over for running around on a ladder every week changing out the batteries for my mom. Running PoE makes life easier in the long run.

Even the camera that came with its own small solar panel sucked. Camera would drain battery faster then it would charge, shutdown when low, and slowly recharge back up, but you still need to climb up to turn it back on.

That looks so good

Nvm, found it on the site:

Pinepods has it’s own gpodder server that’s a switch flip in settings to start using, it also supports external gpodder servers like opodsync or Podfetch, and it supports Nextcloud gpodder sync - your choice.

Sorry I haven’t looked into your project before but I currently use AntennaPod with Nextcloud Gpoddersync, could I plug PinePods into Nextcloud or does it only work with the Pinepods docker server?

Same vibes

Oh wow I wasn’t aware, I have only been to Sweden and Finland for a day each on a Cruise trip my friends dragged me on

I still don’t like the social credit thing, but I at the same time I wouldnt mind moving to Sweden from the US if I had the chance

I dont see why you cant just remember that the edge one is the USB3, not like anyone does the mental gymnastics of remembering the orientation you grabbed the USB cable from and which direction it goes in, the flipping is a rule set in stone

When you get into servers, uptime becomes your drug

The breakages happen a year apart when the summer heat gets bad, if we were going to replace a lot of components at once, at that point we could have just got a new system entirely as this one is really old

We don’t replace the whole thing, only the part that broke, and again, this system is 20+ years old

My 20 year old AC breaks once a year, at this point it’s the ship of theseus. One year it’s the capacitor on condensor, then condensor fan motor, then fan motor that circulates air instead, then circuit board that controls all HVAC functions, then capacitor for circulation fan. Every year, when the heat hits strong, something breaks, I have become proficient in diagnosting HVAC system at this point.
