  • My Experience Switching to Linux

    Jump

  • Same, though with Bluefin (non-gaming based sister version). It took a little adjustment to how I did things, but it's been about a year, and I love the fact that it just updates in the background and my tinkering on the surface level won't break anything.

  • Exactly, this. Down voting doesn't mean disagree (well… it's not supposed to at least, but we know how that often works out). Down voting is supposed to mark content as low quality, or not useful. Unhinged and angry meets that criteria.

  • Democrats Need to Make Republicans Fear the Consequences of Attempting a Dictatorship

    Jump

  • No offense taken. We know we're "a third sold country in a Gucci belt". It's not that it started 40 years ago, but that's when it really took off, this speedrun to transferring wealth and power to the already wealthy. They purposely cut funding to education to make an easily manipulated populace, and have been using fear propaganda relentlessly for longer.

    We also learned last time Trump was elected that most of our country was held together by gentlemen's agreements and the idea that our constitution never considered irrational people would be elected.

    Our system is broken, and the ones with the power to do anything about it have no interest in doing so.

    I honestly don't know how we recover from this. Stopping Trump is a bandaid. Rooting out the cancer… 🤷🏼‍♂️

  • Democrats Need to Make Republicans Fear the Consequences of Attempting a Dictatorship

    Jump

  • Yup. The Democratic party is the Republican party of 40 years ago. The Republicans are obviously now literal nazis, fascists, kkk, the worst of the worst. That's all we have and they have no interest in changing that.

    Many of us like Sanders because he is a vocal option that is at least left of the status quo. But there are also so many of us that want European left policies. We just can't get it to happen in a winner takes all style of representation. And capitalism.

  • Atomic Linux Distros: What Barriers Stand Between You and Making the Switch?

    Jump

  • Alternative to Silverblue is Bluefin, which is Silverblue repackaged with QoL improvements. I've been using it for a while now and like it in a set it and forget it kind of way.

  • Nextcloud (PHP) vs OpenCloud (Go)

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'm more or less just using NC for a cloud storage with WebDAV. I don't really need all the other bits. So if NC were modular in that you could install or not the core pieces, that would be great.

  • How did you choose your junk email address?

    Jump

  • That was what I'm using. With Protonmail they bought SimpleLogin and it was more or less the same.

  • How did you choose your junk email address?

    Jump

  • My email comes with masked email options, so if I need an email I just hit create and it generates one that forwards to/from my account. Just as easy to block or delete them.

  • Trump officials growing tired of ‘unfunny’ and ‘irritating’ Musk

    Jump

  • Yeah, that was my first thought that he really hadn't because unless he micro-microdosed or just said he did to be "cool", which is on brand for him, there's no way he did hallucinogins and still came out the other side like that.

  • Nextcloud (PHP) vs OpenCloud (Go)

    Jump

  • Yeah, I love NC but boy is it a pain. If there were a similar but less bulky, less clunky option that wasn't a pain to maintain, I'd be all over that.

  • What were you surprised to learn wasn't actually normal?

    Jump

  • Did you actually? Or are you carrying that over from reddit? 'Cause I actually have a similar one to that 😅

  • This Week in Self-Hosted (11 April 2025)

    Jump

  • I read about Tailscale securing funding and also was scared enshitification would ensue. I really hope their promise to keep non-enterprise as it is and not claw it back is true. I am way too relient on that now 🫤

  • That's not quite right. US Marshals are literally an agency of the Dept of Justice and part of the executive. The judicial branch is the only one of the three without any law enforcement.

    That said, in normal times Marshals are tasked with protecting the judicial, and being the judicial law enforcement, but that comes from the executive.

  • OpenID Connect Single Sign-On Identity & Access Management

    Jump

  • It's openid so it should work. Though their web finger validation wasn't quite straightforward when I did it.

  • I just got Authentik set up as my first SSO. Has anyone tried this?

  • LunaSea is no longer being published and all related cloud services (including notifications) will be shut down in the near future

    Jump

  • This would just be a way for you to see what qbittorent is doing from your phone. In qbit you'd turn on a few settings and then point this app to what you just turned on, and then see what's downloading from your phone.

    The app isn't doing anything beyond taking interpreting what your other programs (e.g., qbit, sonarr, radarr, etc) are doing while you're away. Depending on the program you could also tell it to download something, but that's all still happening on your laptop. Your phone is just the middle man.

  • What do you mean? The nzb360 app is just a front end for services you have running on a server somewhere. Are you asking how to run the backend part discreetly?

  • And yet they're all convinced that red states are the ones that keep the blue states afloat.
