Less paper relative to an in-person vote

One suggestion is to look at getting any useful docker container up and running first to get a feel for it, then pivot towards heavier lifts. Self-hosting emails is going to be a headache as others have said, and monero nodes sounds like it could be a technical as well but that’s admittedly an uneducated guess.

You can look at the recent selfh.st poll for the most popular docker containers, see if any strike your interest and start there.

Troublehsooting technology.

I’ve been using Linux as my daily driver for a year and a half and my learning is going a lot quicker thanks to AI. It’s so much easier to ask a question and get an answer instead of searching through stack overflow for 30 minutes.

That isn’t to say that the LLM never gives terrible advice. In fact, two weeks ago, I was digging through my logs for a potential intruder (false alarm) and the LLM gave me instructions that ended up deleting journal logs completely.

The good far outweighs the bad for sure tho.

The Linux community specifically has an anti-AI tilt that is embarrassing at times. LLMs are amazing, and much like random strangers on the internet, you don’t blindly trust/follow everything they say, and you’ll be just fine.

The best way I think of AI is that it’s going through a bubble not unlike the early days of the internet. There was a lot of overvalued companies and scams, but it still ushered in a new era.

Another analogy that comes to mind is how people didn’t trust wikipedia 20 years ago because anyone could edit it, and now it is one of the most trusted sources for information out there. AI will never be as ‘dumb’ as it is today, which is ironic because a lot of the perspective I see on AI was formed around free models from 2023.

Definitely piqued my interest. Did some digging and the main Android app was more-or-less on maintenance mode over the last few years as is.

I use the fork on one of my three Android devices and will likely transition the rest for future updates.

koreader, tracker control

Also, they’re new but opentimelimit and unlockmaster for productivity

Interesting read, thanks for sharing.

Reminds me of the time that the FBI created ‘secure’ phones for illicit criminal activities

There’s a great Search Engine episode on it https://player.fm/series/search-engine-3326982/whats-the-best-phone-to-do-crimes-on

It was the first (only?) app where I was baffled at the features compared to the price. It’s a joy to use. If you self-host music, it beats the competition by miles

I made the jump last year. There will be ups and downs but I don’t plan on using another OS on my computers ever.

I agree 100%. Liberals retweeting how Elon is losing money is actually making him money

There’s an irony seeing Redditors creating threads and complaining about it as if they did anything during the API-gate saga

OTA antennae for sports.

For streaming, I usually watch it on my laptop so that I can have easier options to skip and replay.

My desktop is connected via HDMI so I have that as an option but I rarely take advantage of it.

I live by myself so I don’t have as much pushback as you likely would FYI

Earlier this month I finally disconnected the wifi for my 7 year old Roku TV. I miss being able to turn it on w/ voice activation but I’ll trade that in for my privacy

I can’t tell if you’re serious or trolling

I use it. I think it was a hardening recommendation from lynis IIRC.

I definitely experienced a lot more freezing on my laptop after installing it (it’s a memory hog) so I upped my swap and things are back to normal.

Any rando lofi channel on YouTube/Spotify/Online Radio Stations

Probably not for me as I’m not interested in a summarizing tool, but I’m not against AI in general.

OAN, I think over time, the community will see that AI was a bubble, but in the same way that the internet was a bubble back in the day.

Probably because you can pay for a month and download all the wallpapers and cancel.

Arrested Development & Frasier for wit.

Friends and also the Chicago version of Friends (Happy Endings) for familiarity, knowing and growing w/ characters.

Getting cheatsheets via curl cheat.sh/INSERT_COMMAND_HERE

No install necessary, Also, you can quickly search within the cheatsheets via ~. For example if you copy curl cheat.sh/ls~find will show all the examples of ls that use find. If you remove ~find, then it shows all examples of ls.

I have a function in my bash alias for it (also piped into more for readability):

function cht() { curl cheat.sh/"$1"?style=igor|more }
