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.

Imagine the white house full of women cuz the president couldn’t keep it in, or vice versa.

Not a statement of our current political situation or anything, I honestly don’t give two sh#ts about it cuz it’s the same as having a gun to your head and forced to either eat dog sh#t or bull sh#t. I hate politics cuz most people in power suck, and everyone who follows turns into their mouth pieces… I should just live in the woods at this point.

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 keep phone usage low by keeping busy, I’m either working or doing hobby, I never used tiktok and I got rid of instagram, I only use YouTube a lot but I usually put on a long video and mostly just listen to it. Most of my feed is educational like engineering or science which I find really fun.

Also I’m not some 60 year old, I’m in my early twenties so I am of the same age as most of the people with these issues. Replace addictions with things you consider as productive, and train your will power to not break under the pressure/urge.

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

What if sanity was just a curse? (literal thought I had in the shower yesterday)

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?

You forget that most adults are mentally children, only with more money and less time. My homelab is just a more expensive lego set.

I got a free iphone 13 when switching carriers, I still use my android phone with a physical sim but kept the iphone and now use it to better test my flutter apps, can’t do everything from emulators.

“Hello, I’m your AI chat companion that consumes mass amounts of energy to help consult you on what time you should wake up to be efficient with your energy and time, how may I help?”

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

What would be super cool is to remove back cover, cut out a hole, and put a heat sink on some of the components, literally just buy the cooling stuff for raspberry Pi. Hot rod phone NAS!

This looks more fun than just sitting on the side of the road

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
