- Comment on Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers 1 day ago:
Check if there’s alternatives to what you use in Windows, or if there’s a Linux version. Decide if you need to use the windows program, or if the Linux equivalent will work. There may be a learning curve to using a different program, but I haven’t yet really found anything that doesn’t have an equivalent that isn’t a program paired with hardware that will only work with each other.
- Comment on The Beauty Of Having A Pi-hole · Den Delimarsky 2 weeks ago:
Raspberry Pies (is that how you pluralize it?), and especially their SD cards are not the most reliable pieces of hardware. I’ve already had a few die on me.
I grabbed a le potato with an emmc module a little while back and recently got a rock 3c with an emmc slot. I doubt think I can ever go back to microSD based SBCs. I have a good handful of pis from the first one to the 4. Each one of those has chewed up at least one card until I made a point to buy high quality microsds. They do work quite well if you don’t have them reading and writing from the card much, so if it’s just running as an appliance it should be able to last a while.
But yeah, I regularly dd my sd cards so I have a backup of a clean setup and a more recent one that I can revert to if I lose a card. Which reminds me, I should probably do that with my pihole, since it’s somehow become that one brick keeping my entire network functioning.

- Comment on Backblaze responds to claims of “sham accounting,” customer backups at risk - Ars Technica 2 weeks ago:
Mine is raspberry pi zero 2w with an external enclosure attached to solar+battery. Wi-Fi is barely consistent enough for speeds around 1/4 what they should be. I’m still working out the kinks, but thanks be to FSM for rsync and snapshots, otherwise my backup scheme would probably never be able to finish.
- Comment on What is Docker? 2 weeks ago:
Agreed, I just spent a week (very intermittently) trying to figure out where all my free space had gone, turns out it was a bunch of abandoned docker volumes taking up. I have 32gb on my laptop, so space is at an absolute premium.
I guess I learned my lesson about trying out docker containers on my laptop just to check them out.

I’m doing a 5-4-3-2-1 method. 5 backups. 4 on-site. 3 attached to one machine, 2 of those are on separate external usb drives synced at different intervals. 1 in the shed.

- Comment on PewDiePie: I installed Linux (so should you) 3 weeks ago:
Ah, that makes sense. I thought they were talking about laptop, desktop, kids computer, tablet, etc. and was like ¿…? Linux works next to everything better than anything else.
Anyway, I see what you mean. I got a temperature monitor that needed to be set up using their proprietary software that they only made for Windows, wine didn’t work so I actually ended up setting up a tiny win 10 VM so I could set it up. Easier and safer than dual booting with Windows around. Besides that though, I’ve always been able to find a workaround.
- Comment on Fully self-hosted password manager options 3 weeks ago:
I do similar, except nextcloud and backups beyond just syncing. I fear something corrupting my database and that syncing immediately through all my devices.
- Comment on Are your parents "supposed" to be your role models? 3 weeks ago:
Your role models are your own. If you aren’t modeling your behavior after your parents, then they aren’t your role models, straight up. You may model certain behaviors from them, but not others.
Break it down a smidge. What role are you modeling? If you had a really good teacher in the past, and you use how they taught you to teach someone else, they are the role model for you when teaching someone, but they aren’t your role model for something like how to treat your partners.
That’s the neat thing about being your own person. You get to be who you want, treat people how you want. Your role models are who you want them to be. I would caution against being an asshole, though. Don’t model asshole behavior.
- Comment on PewDiePie: I installed Linux (so should you) 3 weeks ago:
What do you mean? I’ve never had any issues with multiple devices. They’re… Just different devices.
- Comment on What is Docker? 3 weeks ago:
EDIT: Wow! thanks for all the detailed and super quick replies! I’ve been reading all the comments here and am concluding that (even though I am currently running only one service) it might be interesting to start using Docker to run all (future) services seperately on the server!
This is pretty much what I’ve started doing. Containers have the wonderful benefit that if you don’t like it, you just delete it. If you install on bare metal (at least in Linux) you can end up with a lot of extra packages getting installed and configured that could affect your system in the future. With containers, all those specific extras are bundled together and removed at the same time without having any effect on your base system, so you’re always at your clean OS install.
I will also add an irritation with docker containers as well, if you create something in a container that isn’t kept in a shared volume, it gets destroyed when starting the container again. The container you use keeps the maintainers setup, for instance I do occasional encoding of videos in a handbrake container, I can’t save any profiles I make within that container because it will get wiped next time I restart the container since it’s part of the container, not on any shared volume.
- Comment on Applying 'extreme heat' to lithium-ion batteries reportedly restores their capacity, and I think it's the sustainable tech breakthrough of 2025 3 weeks ago:
Its actually the “went to church, talented white folk there”, posted by “fren”, somehow they learned random old dude was “88” which has no bearing on the story and isn’t usually something that comes up in short conversations, and the “I was like <common behavior from easily influenced person> before I did these things”
It gives recruitment/fishing vibes to me. If 100 people read it and 99 see ADHD and move on, but 1 person asks them how they could also feel good about themselves, boom, one more Nazi recruit. That’s how dog whistles work. You toss an innocuous thing like “88” in your story, it let’s those in the know that you’re part of the team and you’re on the job.

You brought back some memories for me. Exiting the sewer for the first time. Setting graphics to full and waiting for the details to slowly emerge. An audible “wow” left my lips, then I set the graphics back down to as low as they could go so I could actually play.
- Comment on Framework Laptop 12 is now available for pre-order for €569 and up (but not in the US) 5 weeks ago:
I can forgive the ram decision, they’re producing laptops that can be upgraded in the future to keep them from becoming waste, not upgraded using old equipment now.
I actually do have 2230 ssds laying around. I bought a few used computers on eBay to use as servers that had 128gb versions of these little shits in them that I had assumed were 2.5" not m.2. Wouldn’t use them in a new laptop for me, but it’s plenty enough for a school laptop or device that isn’t storing data on that particular drive.
I’m not going to rag on them for going with this form factor, because they are very conscious about their designs, but it isn’t like it’s hard to accommodate a range of m.2 sizes. You just need a little hole you can screw the mounting…screw into. Like, maybe you can’t fit a 2280 in there, but from what I’ve seen 2242 is more common than 2230.

- Comment on Do you dislike your dependency on Android? To the rescue comes Mobile Linux "PostmarketOS" - Funded via Donations, Focus on Reliabilty for 2025 1 month ago:
My Xperia z3c from 2014 would be perfectly fine to use right now if Google didn’t absolutely bloat the crap out of their products and it had an easily replaceable battery. If companies would just support their products for longer or release the sources when it’s out of support i probably would have skipped several phone upgrades. But that’s probably exactly why they don’t.
- Comment on Does it make sense to buy a lifetime supply of honey? 2 months ago:
Sure you could. But I’ll offer a different perspective
All honey tastes different from different producers and areas, you’ll be missing out on some wonderful honey flavors if you buy that much in bulk. If it’s purely for sweetening, sure fine, do it. But if you want the flavor of honey, check out a farmers market and see what you’d be missing out on with bulk.
- Comment on work related: is this something only an autistic would ask? 2 months ago:
I want to know how much I have to work.
To neurotypicals this sounds like you don’t want to put in the work. A better way to phrase it would be “I’m just trying to see how busy today will be” you can follow it with bullshit like “trying to decide if I’ll be cooking dinner or picking something up on my way home”

- Comment on Framework wants to fix the budget laptop with its first touchscreen machine 2 months ago:
I’m using an asus e200ha, which is basically a Chromebook from 2016 but without chromeos, or whatever it’s called. It barely works, has 32 gb of emmc storage (that’s right, as much storage as mid-tier computers have RAM). I’ve been ready for an upgrade for years.
What’s wild, is it’s actually been getting steadily faster and more useful as it gets older, because all the issues it had in it’s younger years are all getting fixed in the Linux kernel.
