- Comment on Does anyone have any experience with Sync-in for online files? 1 day ago:
I don’t want to sync files at all. I want files to only be on the server, accessible via web interface. Like Google Drive.
- Comment on Does anyone have any experience with Sync-in for online files? 1 day ago:
Yeah, that’s what I was doing before when it was just me. But, my wife isn’t gonna wanna mount an SSHFS. It needs to work like Google Drive, meaning web interface.

I’m not giving Google anymore money. I’m actively going to vote for their competitor, Motorola+GrapheneOS.
(Not buying used Pixel.)
- Comment on Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops 1 day ago:
I’ve been wandering the laptop desert for a few years now. Lenovo, Dell, System76, Framework, StarLabs.
I’m currently on a Dell Pro 13, but the keyboard really sucks and the hardware isn’t fully Linux compatible.
StarLabs had keyboard issues and terrible battery life.
Framework seems like Linux was an after thought. Their HiDPI display isn’t fully Linux compatible.
I recently got my parents an X13 and everything just works. Camera, Bluetooth, graphics, display. All good.
I prefer 13in screens, but I’ll take the repairability of the T14 gen 7!

That’s cool… I guess…
What I really want is to continue to use F-Droid though.

Nobody ever does. All AI demos are just: look at this mountain of generated text.
- No checks if the mountain is correct
- No checks if the mountain is a maintainable design
- No checks if the mountain was even needed AT ALL

Whoa. There are actually consequences? ArsTechnica is actually sorry??

but if simple is what you want then a Synology DS225+ should get you up n running quickly
Ah, I forgot to mention I’m already running my own Debian server. Ideally, I wouldn’t have to buy another device just for online file management.
Which part of the seafile install was it that made you back off?
There’s proxies behind proxies behind proxies that proxy to proxies so you can proxy while you proxy.
I managed to install half of it, but then some of the many servers you need to install didn’t end up talking with each other. I tried studying the architecture for a bit, but still couldn’t figure out which server’s request I needed to rewrite in order for the other server to see it.

- Comment on Is spreading. 1 week ago:
Honestly, I’m kinda looking at Fedora a little more now. I’ve been using Arch for the longest, but I tried Fedora once for the first time recently and was surprised. It’s got a lot of polish and is very close to my Arch setup anyway.
Ideally, I wanted to do Fedora Silverblue + guix package manager, but apparently that’s not totally supported. So maybe regular Fedora + guix or I’ll just stick with Arch + guix.

Oh my boy…you are in for a treat!
keeps reading to discover the name of the show
I see others have already linked this exact video, but this is part of a series. There’s like 4 seasons of this. I cannot think of a single bad episode.
Come on! Get to the name of the show!
Also, that’s Tiny Tina with the dildo. And the guy dressed like Ghandi is the writer of Borderlands 2. Also, they’re real life brother and sister.
Where’s the name of the show? I was promised a treat! 😭
- Comment on Leave big tech behind! How to replace Amazon, Google, X, Meta, Apple – and more 1 week ago:
Amazon is a hard one to find an alternative to. Mostly what I try to do now is buy directly from the brand. But they don’t always have their own website.
Other times I can find the item locally. I’ll buy it even if it costs a little more.
Also, sometimes the item is only available at Amazon or Home Depot online, for example. In that case, I’ll pick Home Depot cuz they’re a slightly smaller megacorp.
As a very last resort, I’ll will begrudgingly buy from Amazon. Like if the item is only on Amazon or if the item is significantly cheaper there…
But, fuck Amazon Prime! That’s a total scam. I canceled that years ago and never looked back.

- Comment on Apple brings age verification to UK users in iOS 26.4 beta - Users who don’t verify their age may not be able to download or purchase apps. 1 week ago:
Unfortunately, Google and Apple have crippled PWAs. Surprise, surprise. They don’t get the attention, features, or bug fixes native apps get.
But also, a lot of apps are just views into websites anyway. So I bet a lot of apps could just be PWAs.
The main hurdle is getting people to install the PWAs instead of apps. It’s a different install flow.

TIL: jamón en portugués es «presunto»
I would have read it as: jamón, presunto? supuesto? tal vez? quién sabe.

Eggs-mothafucking-zackly!!!
There are no daily pressure campaigns to convince you to use a laptop or a smartphone. The value of those are self-evident.
AI on the other hand… -_-
- Comment on Android will become a locked-down platform in 194 day 2 weeks ago:
Yeah… But Google and US Big Tech have too much power and are making the world shitty for everyone. I’d like to help spread that power.
- Comment on Android will become a locked-down platform in 194 day 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I’m not buying any more Pixels. I got the Fairphone 6! It’s good! I’m in the US, so I got it from Clove. Works fine on T-Mobile.
Although, I’m currently running Android… Probably have to install e/OS or something.
I hope Fairphone can continue to grow to eventually meet Graphene’s hardware requirements.

- Comment on Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AI 2 weeks ago:
I don’t review that shit. Those PRs tend to be huge walls of text. If you didn’t take any effort into preparing something for me, then I’m not making any effort into reviewing it for you.
Let the slop flow! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
When it breaks, I’m also not jumping in to fix it.
- Comment on Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AI 2 weeks ago:
LOL. Exactly. This reminds me of a slop code change my manager recently posted. It was a million lines, where really it just needed to be like 3 or 4 lines. I refuse to do a real review for slop PRs.
Later in standup he proudly proclaims, “You know, that PR was mostly Claude.” … … …
I know! It was bad! You should feel bad! The fact that he was proud of it showed he doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing. More lines of code means higher performance, right?? 😂

I think it took a long time for me the first time. They seem way smaller than Discord, so I imagine they don’t have the fastest infrastructure. Also, I signed up with a non-gmail account and their verification email did make it through eventually.

You can create text or voice channels.

Eh, the more you say it, the more normal it’ll sound. Stoat. Like oat. Or like stoked.
“Goo Gewl” isn’t exactly a good name…

It’s also worth noting, you don’t need to self host. You can sign up for their hosted instance too.
Of course, if you want to self host that’s great too.
