LocalSend.

No more USBs ever (outside of install media). So so simple, fast, and works on all devices and FOSS.

It is really the best UX of any file sharing app I have experienced (outside of airdrop I guess, but obvious problems there)

Okular is also a favorite of mine.

Oh, so that's why I have the privilege of being systematically gunned down by random, unmarked DSS eagle strafing runs that appear directly on top of me while defending super earth!

Fair, but very very very often (unless you are a full time daily user of the commandlet and all objects you may run into or have a photographic memory) you don't know the actual specific property or object exact verbatim and have to rely on a very quick search to remember that one object you used 3 months ago once that you need now for example. Or you want to see where/if something is referenced in another subset of programs like a specific IP, another program, a resource taken up, etc...

That is mostly what grep is used for: discovery and reference, which powershell I don't think has a substitute for so instead you have to sort through documentation and forums.

We finally got a lot of rain after a month of sunny days.

I got an order of 100 ladybug larvae in, but only counted about 30 that hatched and were alive. I put them out in jute bags and coffee filters because my small cherry tree is absolutely infested with aphids this year. It also grew like 50 cherries instead of its normal 3 or so, but they are all very tiny and ripening and a few are blackening.

Maybe next year...

No grep though as far as I could find... There was a similar cmdlet IIRC, but it was extremely limited and didn't work well (this was years ago though)

There is also leantime.io that I have been hosting for 5 years or so. It is a bit more than planka or tarallo as far as scope I think, but it has integrated kanban, gannt charts, and hour logging which is all I need for my personal projects.

That's why I said bike, not trains 😅

10 minutes by car but 53 minutes by bike?? Do you live literally on the autobahn?

It's funny because everything you describe is exactly the problems my company had with all of our laptops on windows 11 and not linux, every single one has been reported dozens of times with windows 11, especially on 24h2.

Plus additional like installing printer drivers smashing Microsoft office fonts together, teams in a restart loop because an update changed a registry value that is just plain broken, even a problem where windows secretly and silently mutes the microphone, but says literally everywhere that it is enabled and unmuted such that you have to use the audio troubleshooter to unmute it (and now that doesn't work because they replaced the audio troubleshooter with a shitty LLM that literally only checks if there are drivers installed).

Laptops not going to sleep when you close them is also like the #1 issue on all windows forums because of stupid fucking modern sleep that you can't disable.

Your cloud example is exactly right and exactly what we want to NOT HAPPEN.

They shoved the cloud so much down our throats so that they can force you into monthly income-sucking unneeded subscriptions. That is it. That is the single reason everyone did it.

The result is now the average user has a much worse experience overall. One literally has to fight with Microsoft products to save things on their own computer. IoT and smart products literally won't function without connections to their "cloud". Phones come without SD card compatibility and with low flash memory to force you into cloud subscriptions. Now every damn piece of software is a way overpriced subscription that almost all originally started as "switching to cloud infrastructure" (fucking adobe creative cloud).

The "cloud" has had so many data breaches and people data have been stolen, siphoned off, lost due to bugs, and sold to earn even more cash on the side.

A huge portion of the general corporatization and bad enshittification of digital services and software in general can be attributed to "the cloud shoving down our throats" that you describe.

AI is looking to do the same thing except castrate peoples' digital skills, critical thinking skills, transcription skills, and writing skills in order to siphon more and more of your income off in the form of AI subscriptions while they double dip and sell everything you ever say to it and triple dip in mining everything you say to it as R&D that you pay to do

Companies need to do the fucking R&D themselves with their revenue of a small country and stop forcing regular people to pay to be their alpha and beta testers and focus groups, and people gobble that boot up so hard because LLMs have a few small areas where they are slightly useful and can save 10 minutes per day and make them not have to critically think, so people will literally sell their data, their already small income, and their soul to save 10 minutes, and in 10 years the digital experience will be even more shitty and degraded than it got after "the cloud."

Your usecase is the exact definition as using LLMs as accessibility and to actually better the user experience for certain people which is not the goal of any AI company or 99% of LLM integrations

TD;DR

Non-consentual cloud shoving has caused newer generations to think that paying corporations every month to save files is normal and that your data is not yours and always corporate property ™®©, along with the decimation of understanding simple file structures. You can actually talk to teachers and professors and they unanimously say that tech literacy has nosedived.

Now with the LLM shoving, they are trying to force the new generation to have to pay subscriptions to think, write, compose, draw, and get information by stripping them of those skills.

Also the Node 804 is worth looking into with an entire separate chamber for HDDs in order to keep them cool without exposing them to GPU and cpu heat, plus it is a lot shorter instead, sometimes easier to fit places (mATX motherboard only)

Gadgetbridge in just about the only one.

The problem is that the watches themselves use proprietary BS Bluetooth protocols with their own cryptic values to stop people from decoding their own devices unless you use their app...

 

Hey everyone!

We are renovating our atelier to be a temporary house while we completely strip and redo the main house for a few years.

One thing I am really struggling with is how to make a large 255cm x 65cm dirty concreate workbench into a kitchen countertop for 2 years or so.

We are based in Belgium, so wood prices are about 2x what they are in the US (250cm x 125cm OSB board is 50€ or so).

The height is already quite high for a countertop (for me and my girlfriend it is perfect) so adding a thick slab of butcher block or something would make it unusable.

I don't really know what my options are. Maybe a wood veneer? Some sort of cheap-ish tile?

We used some iron-on white to finish the edge of our custom sink cabinet made from some old office cupboards, maybe there are larger ones like that that would work for concrete?

We are trying to stay below 2cm thickness. Idealy 0.5cm or so, but that would be difficult.

If anyone has any ideas to throw out, we would be open to it! It is just temporary, so it doesn't have to last more than a few years

Thanks!

Edit: I realized I didn't have any good pictures of the bench itself since it always took a back seat, but here are a few bad ones to give an idea from in the beginning https://imgur.com/a/KgiqHrC

 

Hey guys, I have been looking at building a home gym (possibly outdoors) in my new house we are renovating.

I want to get back into lifting as it has been about 4 years since I did it seriously.

I was looking at bars and the market here is ridiculout it seems. I can't find a single stainless steel bar for under 475€($520). The Ohio bar is one of the cheaper ones at 550€ instead of $370. Of course I get why it is more expensive for an import bar, but I literally can't find any bar here non-imported that says that it is stainless steel that isn't calibrated and insanely expensive (550€+)

The difference here betweeen cerakote and stainless is even greater (>100€ in some cases).

I was hoping to just get a second hand rack, some basics weights, and a barbell for around 1000€ or so, but it looks like I would have to spend at least 2000€ to get any kind of setup. Cage here are 850€ or so on the lower end just by themselves.

I am looking at strengthshop.eu, roguefitness.eu, fitness-seller.nl, but I don't really know what are the best bang for your buck options.

It looks like one of those sites has a 340€ stainless steel ATX bar, but I don't know if that is a reliable brand.

Anyone in the EU with any advice?

 

I just started playing rimworld a week ago.

My first colony all died. I was researching drug policy and starting geothermal and blowback weapons, I was getting raided every couple of days and had 0 wind so I had to prioritize those. Suddenly, the plague infects 5 of my 6 people. 2 people survive with the least skills. Cassandra: Adventure difficulty. I followed all of the healing and rest guides and 1 person with the plague survived. This first time I got a few turtles and had major problems with 300+ turtles eating all of my food and unable to slaughter them as fast as they were spawning

I started a new colony also with Cassabdra: Adventure difficulty. I just reached the exact same point. Drug policy not done, this time not even geothermal or blowback done (so I would say early game). Plague. This time only 2 out of 6 die. Not bad. I survived.

NOPE: 2 days later, nuclear fallout and everyone has to stay inside for what? Months? Luckily I have only 1 turtle so I have 1000 rice and 1000 various meats built up in my much larger freezer with a open door chimney. Should be able to wait it out.

NOPE: the second day of fallout I had a multi-day solar flare knocking out all of my fridges.

Luckily the power came back before all of the meat spoiled and I got a mad muffalo for extra food.

I still don't know how to protect my chickens in the pen because I can't set a zone, but they seem to by chance sleep under the roof every few days and reduce their radiation. I don't have the available power or components to switch to indoor farming with sunlamps (and hydroponics not researched yet) so I might be screwed if my food runs out.

I read online "plague is a very unlucky roll early-mid game" and I got it twice in a row lol. Plus a toxic fallout immediately after. Sometime this game just decides to come and get you.

 

I have been upgrading after a few weeks of being too busy too. I constantly now run out of space on my 50GB root partition even when running -Sc after every update and reboot to make sure everything works...

It really is crazy that there is no option to put all the programs on another partition than root unless you make a separate partition for /usr that will somehow foresee what you will install in the future.

My /usr with all of my programs installed is 29GB and /var takes up 10 GB. That leaves just 10GB for everything else.

I have just followed the partitioning advice since my first 2016 install, but in the past few years, everything has just ballooned in size it seems and is now always a problem every few years no matter how big you make your root partition.

Is there a better solution for this? Can we place /usr files managed through managers in /home? I think that is against the pacman/yay way of working.

 

Good morning everyone,

My girlfriend and I are renovating our first house.we are busy with demolition and cleaning stuff right now, but we are also planning out our entire budget and getting offers for a new bathroom and such.

I hear all the time what a cost difference building and renovation is, but I can't see how it works in practice.

If I go on a webshop to buy dust masks for example, I am charged the full VAT. International companies like Conrad won't gave an option for less tax, but it would make sense to get it there if it is already 25% cheaper than a store here, all tax excluded.

If I go to something like SACK, they give one price that includes whatever tax they choose it to be (then pocket the difference, we actually had it happen where we got an offer, we said it was above our budget, and they said "oh I spoke to my manager and just for you we can give you a 15% discount" within 10 minutes of the email. Sure...)

If I go to a bouwmaterialen store or a groothandel for electrical, do I have to specifically tell them that I am doing a verbouw?

I am not sure how this works in practice.

Thanks guys!

 

It's weird. I have been working from the office 5 days a week instead of the normal 2-3 days for a few months.

Now I only get to have my nice V60 coffee on the weekends because my 1 hour to 1h15 commute time takes up too much time.

I end up using the work coffee machine, which does grind whole beans for my coffee at work. It is very inconsistant. The same setting often gives either watery coffee or overextracted coffee depending on how it feels that minute.

It has made me really enjoy and savor my weekend coffee much more than when I was having good coffee every day. Like the contrast made me realize how good it already was without chasing a better grinder/better water/better methods.

Does anyone else have this sort of experience?

 

Hey lemmings, I was wondering not just what you are using foe documents, but how you go about securing them.

Right now I am simply running paperless-ngx on a LUKS encrypted drive with all of my other data, permissions so only docker can access it, and running it through my reverse proxy with authelia in front of the paperless authentication for 2 factor.

I have sensitive documents like house sale documents and pay slips on there. I want to keep it publically exposed for my work documents (we have to submit documentation of different tickets and invoices for personal things to get repaid), but I am worried about the security aspect of it.

I figure data-at-rest encryption is useless because if a bad actor gets in to my server, they could get it all from memory anyway, but I wonder if specifically I should make that 1 docker image only accessible by VPN or something like that? Any recommendations on how to secure documents like that while still having them accessible?

 

Hey lemmings,

I have a headless server that works beautifully. B450 with 2700X and 32GB of micron 3200MHz RAM.

I am currently running Debian 12 Bookworm on it. I am at kernel 6.1, but in preparation for 6.2 or 6.3 being backlogged, I want to buy an Arc A380 for transcoding since they are only 150€ here. Software was fine for a single video stream, but I bought a new house and will have 4 camera streams running. Plus I want to dabble in AV1 transcoding for media or storage of my camera streams

Currently there is neither X nor Wayland installed since it is exclusively with SSH that I do all of my work on it. After I install the GPU, I was wondering if it is possible to not even install X or Wayland since I will literally never use a display on it?

Would I still be able to do Jellyfin and Frigate transcoding without an X server? If I have to get one, does it matter if I choose X or Wayland for hardware transcoding?

Thanks!
