  • You may be misunderstanding how thing work.

    Average people create their own communities. Those people control those communities. You can make a community for cars, and if someone poats about busses you can remove the post. The person who makes a community is the one that controls it.

    It has nothing to do with the platform, you are just posting in a community run by people who don't want that kind of post there. So pick a different community? And read the side bar before you post.

    Piefed operates the same way.

  • Maybe but hardly anyone had 32GB of RAM 5 years ago so that's unlikely to feed into the average. My original thought was that I don't think the average will go down, because people will keep their current hardware for longer. Maybe we will see mobos with modern sockets and DDR4 support if this drags on, but hopefully the bubble will burst by Christmas and we'll all be picking up refurbished DDR5 for pennies from the decommissioned data centres.

  • Well the last couple of years is pretty restrictive. If you're upgrading every few years you'll probably just bite the bullet and pay for the RAM.

    My last comment was basically saying you can upgrade to the top of the line CPU that fits your mobo, giving you an upgrade for not too much cash. Better than forking out for DDR5.

  • Not necessarily, most people will be able to upgrade their CPU to a better model with the same socket. Sockets aren't updated every time a CPU is released, and most people won't be buying the top of the top even if they were, meaning there's room to grow as prices drop.

  • I just find it hard to imagine people will buy a worse computer instead of keeping the one they have, but I'll happily admit it if I turn out to be wrong.

  • Yeah but we are talking about a widespread drop in the average, which I'd think would be more influenced by people upgrading (or not) rather than gear dying.

  • Among gamers?

    I didn't even realise 32 was standard, I've really only seen 8 or 16 for normal consumer grade stuff.

  • But wouldn't people just stick with their current PC instead of downgrade?

    Especially because they very likely can get a better CPU with the same socket, and a better graphics card.

    I find it hard to imagine a scenario where you would go to less RAM instead of keeping what you have.

  • Why would the average drop? People already have the RAM so wouldn't we just see it stagnate?

  • Nextcloud/OneDrive Files-only Replacement

    Jump

  • In my experience it's not quite the same. Using webdav through the distro account seems that it's fully online. And folder access or file access contacts the server.

    The virtual file experience is more of a hybrid. All the folders actually exist on disk, as well as shells for every file. If you try to open a virtual file, in the background Windows will seamlessly download it for you. At that point the file is actually on your disk. This way regularly accessed files on on your hard drive and seldom accessed ones are not, saving local hard drive space while providing an experience almost like if all the files were actually on your drive.

    Jump

  • On Windows, Nextcloud seems to tap into some Windows function to provide files on demand. Is there any Linux cloud file service that can do it?

  • What is your preferred Android Launcher in 2026?

    Jump

  • Interesting! Do you (or anyone) know of any similar one that's FOSS and available outside of Google Play?

  • What is your preferred Android Launcher in 2026?

    Jump

  • A warning, it's different from a normal launcher. That's why I love it!

    Jump

  • I love KISS.

    I change the settings to set swipes for common apps like browser and camera, set others as favorites like email and messaging apps, and then set it to show nothing else except the search bar. Tapping the search bar shows commonly used apps, or you can a search.

    Works great for my "workflow", and leaves the "desktop" almost completely clear. Then I have the wallpaper set to the NASA astronomy picture of the day. Works great!

  • How many containers are you all running?

    Jump

  • Well the containers are grouped into services. I would easily have 15 services running, some run a separate postgres or redis while others do an internal sqlite so hard to say (I'm not where I can look rn).

    If we're counting containers then between Nextcloud and Home Assistant I'm probably over 20 already lol.

  • Mexico president Claudia Sheinbaum asks South Korea for more BTS concerts

    Jump

  • Most people I know seem to see grey hairs in their early 30s (if they don't do something to remove /hide them). Not a full head of grey hair, just the start of greys.

    I don't know about Koreans but it's also fashionable, I see lots of people with dyed grey or silver hair. I presumed it aged better than dying it black or whatever, so you don't have to re-dye as often.

    But maybe it's fashionable just because?

  • Most of them are in their 30s, so probably the hide the real greys.

  • Until this became a problem recently, an admin could only delete all content for an account that existed. So deleting the account made it very difficult to track down and delete what they had posted.
