I do, temperatures are often below freezing in the winter.

I wasn’t saying it was a common thing to see others riding (which it is, as long as there isn’t snow on the road), I was just saying people who ride aren’t rich just because they own a motorcycle, and that it’s possible to ride in the winter.
I’m not sure what your point is about Asian countries, I am aware that two wheeled vehicles are a means of transportation.

Sucks in a fun way if you’re a certain type of person. I’ve ridden through a lightning storm where my motorcycle couldn’t go past 55mph due to a headwind. It was exciting, and super fun.

TIL I’m rich because I own a $2000 motorcycle, and that it’s only a toy for use in the summer. I can’t believe that someone just mansplained riding motorcycles in poor weather. Rain gear and insulated clothing has existed for a long time.

Anyone looking to set this up should note that the instructions are slightly incorrect, the URL when adding the repository must be updated to the new repository location, there’s a PR for the change.
Additionally, I’ll mention that it just didn’t work for me, whereas owntracks worked flawlessly. The errors it provided were of little help, so I’m not sure why it wasn’t working. I’m planning to continue using owntracks for now.

Hi, this looks awesome. I just got it set up, and it’s working great, however I cannot get the Immich integration to work. Here’s the error I get when I paste in the domain and the freshly created API key. I’ve tried the API key with all permissions as well as with only the required permissions.
Connection failed: I/O error on POST request for “https://my.immich.domain/api/auth/validateToken”: my.immich.domainAny ideas of troubleshooting steps I could try? Thanks for sharing such a cool tool.

And then the all go to a landfill near you
I must assume you’re talking about LG and Apple laptops both.
- Comment on LG Electronics unveils 2026 Gram Laptop line with aerospace composite - up to 50% lighter than macbooks 2 weeks ago:
I believe the gram is know to have decent build quality. I’m sure it doesn’t compare to an M series Mac when it comes to performance and battery life, but at least I could put Linux on it.

I think the logic would be that it’s easier to use more data on a computer and while using multiple devices. On my phone I sometimes get full speeds while tethered, and sometimes get half a Mbps.

bye bye to Adobe and moved on with DaVinci Resolve.
This is the way. I skipped Adobe entirely due to how they conduct business. I really wish Resolve had better Linux support though. Like, it works and I use it, but having to use a third party tool (make resolve deb) is ridiculous.
Additionally, Gimp is just not on the level of Photoshop, at least from what I understand, I’ve never used photoshop. I mostly long for smart select tools where I can, for example, just circle a person and have them selected. Also, content aware fill would be incredibly nice to have. Of course neither of those things are worth shoveling money out of my wallet into Adobe’s.

Do any cell phone plans allow for unlimited Hotspot data? That’s my largest issue with doing that, I use more than 50GB every single month.

Or, at the very least, a reverse proxy.
- Comment on What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows 3 weeks ago:
Linux, in my experience, has been way less painful to set up than Windows. It takes like 1/4 of the time, and I don’t end up with half my shit in One Drive because I misclicked.
- Comment on How I Left YouTube 3 weeks ago:
I initially though that, but then read your comment and thought it was about someone leaving a job being a creator on YouTube, not leaving a job at the company YouTube.
Also, I’m not sure why you say YouTube is a right wing hellhole. Most of the creators I watch aren’t political at all, and creators like Some More News are on there, and great.

It’s game streaming, except you stream an entire PC.
- Comment on Honey Targeted Minors & Exploited Small Businesses 3 weeks ago:
To elaborate on this, since watching this video I’ve paid attention to how sponsorships provide discounts to viewers of creators, and it’s often via URLs. eg. service.com/creator_name, not with a discount code. That way, a website can track how many people went to the URL, not how many used whatever code is associated with that URL. Maybe you could simply create a different listing for the same product instead of relying on discount codes, this different listing only being accessible via the creator links. I’m not sure if Honey would figure out how to navigate that as well or not.
I’d totally be interested to hear more on how companies deal with this, and if there are better ideas than the one I came up with as I typed this comment.

BeamNG is another example of this. That said, it’s one of the highest selling automotive games on Steam iirc.
- Comment on A self-hosted approach to long-term file storage and control 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, it’s the same in terms of software maintence, but you aren’t doing the entirety of hosting yourself, as someone else is actually physically hosting your server. You don’t have to add HDDs when you run out of space, if that company goes down your servers go down, etc. It’s like semi-self hosting? I’m not sure what a good term for it would be.
- Comment on A self-hosted approach to long-term file storage and control 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I have dabbled in that with streaming to multiple platforms via a VPS. It definitely is stretching the definition of self hosting.
- Comment on A self-hosted approach to long-term file storage and control 4 weeks ago:
Ahh, that makes sense. When I think of self hosting, I think of using your own hardware.
- Comment on A self-hosted approach to long-term file storage and control 4 weeks ago:
What’s the benifit of E2EE file storage on a self hosted server? I use FileBrowser Quantum, and it’s super nice, as I can access the same shared drives that I access at home.
- Comment on LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems 4 weeks ago:
I have a Hisense. It has an input button on the remote, and I just use that to go between inputs. I’m only reminded it’s a smart TV when the power goes out and I see the Google TV boot screen.
- Comment on LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems 4 weeks ago:
Using that would require having my TV connected to the internet, which I refuse to do.

In some places it’s too close, but in many places (like the top) it’s way too far away.

Wait, I heard about this and assumed the money had changed hands in the opposite direction. Why the fuck would Disney be paying OpenAI to use their intellectual property? That’s not how that has ever worked.

Yeah. I’m not saying I like it or that it’s how it should be. It’s just how it is. I basically go to reddit last these days.

Niche communities that simply don’t exist on Lemmy. If your only hobbies are tech, lemmy probably covers all of your bases, but there are nearly no niche non-tech communities here.
- Comment on Windows drive letters are not limited to A-Z 1 month ago:
The Linux approach did take some getting used to, of course, but mounting drives to folders just makes too much sense. The only qualm I’ve had with it is if the drive doesn’t get mounted and stuff gets written to that folder, which, AFAIK, isn’t possible in windows.
Also, tbf (and balanced), windows also supports mounting drives to folders.
