  can they have file upload/image sharing integrated? (as in not uploading somewhere and manually pasting link)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When "AI" content becomes indistinguishable from human-made content, is there, philosophically speaking, any meaningful differences between the two?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  is it? i mean it’s possible for ‘ai’ to create a unique combination of stuff it was ‘trained on’ due to its randomness. imo the ‘idea’ just depends on human interpretation

  try using treesize free for checking which directories take much space.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Its a solar powered phone / webserver! Made from a pixel 6a, solar panel, and hopes/dreams.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  postmarketOS, mobian, etc… these are ‘real’ linux distros that work without the android parts. as your device doesn’t have a (near-)mainline kernel port i believe you can boot postmarketOS with the stock downstream kernel, though many peripherals won’t function.

  halium based distros like ubports and droidian use a part of the android userspace to make those peripherals work, which can be better if mainline is not possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google flags Immich sites as dangerous⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  just use ublock origin and a proper password manager. google safe browsing means google sees what sites you browse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Its a solar powered phone / webserver! Made from a pixel 6a, solar panel, and hopes/dreams.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  nice! i’d recommend keeping the battery a bit lower tho, and perhaps lower charging currency/voltage.

  i believe it’s also possible to run proper linux on this phone btw

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Unraid popular in the self-hosting community ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Some don’t care much about the license. Like how many people run Xpenology (hacked synology dsm) or Plex or stuff like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can Mac apps be emulated and run on Windows?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  maybe try qemu-kvm? i recall hearing from an amd user friend that it worked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can Mac apps be emulated and run on Windows?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sad :/ I never had an AMD machine so haven’t tried, but I heard it’s pretty well working nowadays… At least I see a lot of successes on r/hackintosh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can Mac apps be emulated and run on Windows?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, but you can run x86 MacOS on a VM. There’s no graphics acceleration unless you passthrough a supported GPU tho.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help with Gateway Solo 2550⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice, then the driver wouldn’t be an issue.

  btw I just remembered using the format tool in WinXP (My Computer -> right click drive -> format) to create a bootable MS-DOS (think it was the winme one - so ms-dos 8?) floppy/usb. Not sure if it’s on 2K too, would be worth checking. If it also works on an internal drive maybe you could partition the drive and install DOS on the second drive without any external media.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help with Gateway Solo 2550⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well I guess you can then wipe the 2k partition and install dos/win9x and boot into that and remove the second partition, not too sure how partition management works on win9x/dos though.

  A better solution might be to pull out the hard drive and installing dos there. This way you can also check if the drives got any bad sectors and also dump the current data so you can restore win2k later. (especially if this is a factory install, the drivers you have installed now may be impossible to find later on)

  Is the hard drive easily accessible? Laptop pata to usb doesn’t cost much.

  Even if you install a pcmcia lan card, you might need to install the driver for that (lol). btw i’m sure you did already but do check if the usb is enabled in bios.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help with Gateway Solo 2550⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Does it have a lan port?
