  You forget that most adults are mentally children, only with more money and less time. My homelab is just a more expensive lego set.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google will require developer verification for Android apps outside the Play Store⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess it’s time to switch to developing apps for Linux mobile distro

  The only reason I like android is cuz I can make my own apks and use them without issue.

  Not a big user of AI but a suck up chat bot sounds like pain to interact with

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks I'd rather my beer stay analogue⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We need to go back to the time when comupting power was limited so everything needed to be hella efficient, cuz I feel like we have so much of it that we don’t know what to use it on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proton releases a new app for two-factor authentication⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I also was disappointed that proton wallet was for crypto and not credit cards. Unless someone can recommend an alternative to Google wallet, preferably from F-Droid

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proton releases a new app for two-factor authentication⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It works, has minor quirks, but it has replaced a lot of things for me, switched from Google gmail, drive, and calendar to Protons and it has been good. (Though the whole Lumo AI release move confused me) Oh yeah VPN too, well for other countries, still use my wireguard vpn when traveling.

  But personally, I’mma continue sticking to Aegis as my authenticator app. (Can’t recommend it enough)

  This looks more fun than just sitting on the side of the road

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android 16 is here⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I heard they are adding a desktop mode to android 16, curious if it would be possible to use phone and have a similar experience to an actual PC by connecting monitor and mouse/keyboard, well just using a browser, at the very least.

  Gotta account for timezones as well /s

  I loved those old Chevrolet commercials from the 1930s that explained things like how a differential or transmission works in a car and I’m not even a car guy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cut Data Center Energy by 30% with This Simple Hack - IEEE Spectrum⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  MicroG?

  I still need it for 2 games I like to play on my phone, maybe other things too, it was only recently that I started slowly moving away from being dependent on google

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cut Data Center Energy by 30% with This Simple Hack - IEEE Spectrum⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, even if you need some Google services, just get things like gapp (or whatever its called, forgot) and you are good to go.

  I want to try GrapheneOS, but no one I know owns any old (or new) pixel device and compiling and running as emulator (like for developing purposes) requires like 500gb of storage on PC for it.

  PostMarketOS sounded fun but I couldn’t get waydroid to start without crashing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The youtube algorithm is so bad, I say to my screen "why the fuck would I care about this!?" like 10 times a day.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t have history on, I keep my “subscriptions” list curated to perfection so every morning I find interesting videos to watch/listen while I make coffee

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't get the love for Nextcloud - alternative for just files?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh wait, were you looking for alternatives? I guess this also works: filebrowser.org

  Its just web veiw to file server instead of only using things like smb or nfs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't get the love for Nextcloud - alternative for just files?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah setting it up the way you want is a pain, but I like it mainly for backing up photos from my phone automatically, as well as, syncing podcasts and music between devices since I moved away from Spotify and start using things like AntennaPod and Gramophone

  I got 20TB in my server, might as well use it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It always seems like its time to move to linux⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  After you move to Linux, you end up continuing your journey to different Linux flavours

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When building a home server, could a used/cheap PC do the job?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Its less of a need for powerful hardware and more of a want.

  I started off my days with a laptop that had a broken screen. I took screen off and hid it behind my desk, worked perfectly fine, even came with a built in backup battery too xD

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After 40 years of being free Microsoft has added a paywall to Notepad⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My understanding of the different operating systems

  MacOS: One time hardware payment for their service (plus for every other device)

  Linux: Free as in price free and freedom

  Windows: 30+ subscriptions to edit 1 file, then cooldown till next day or upgrade subscriptions to enterpise version for a kidney/per user/per month.
