  Thanks for pointing this out. Its been a while since I’ve been to alternativeto.net and thought that’s what OP was linking to, even vsitiing the site I just figured ‘oh they did a redesign since last time I was here’ totally didn’t dawn on me it was a completely difference site.

  True, I guess not. But piracy was big at that age group because we were kids who didn’t have our own money, so if our parents didn’t buy the games we wanted, people would try to download them instead. So I fell into learning this detail by nessesssity instead of out of pure curiosity or desire to learn more about the computer. I wanted to doenload NWN or whatever game, and fat32 was standing in my way, haha

  Haha at some point it did matter to regular folks though. I remember in Junior high when I would try to pirate games or software on Windows, I learned the big difference between fat32 and the new filesystem Microsoft released, NTFS because I couldn’t download files larger than 4GB on fat32.

  Alpine is an interesting choice for hosting, really curious what situation you’re hosting in that would require that level or lightness for a distro?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If AI takes most of our jobs, money as we know it will be over. What then?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “What then?”

  “Same as it ever was!”

  We all fight over resources that actually matter (like food, water, shelter and security) instead the previous things (money), for the enjoyment of our overlords.

  Seriously, the people who have power to change the outcome od the future seem to either straight not planning for this future scenario, or are planning for a horribly distopian version of this future scenario.

  My favorite story about best buy is in the late 90’s early 2000’s, a family member gifted me a $20 gift card to best buy, which unbeknownst to them, I had stopped shopping at because it got too expensive and I started buying from newegg instead. Anyway, I walk in and am thinking 'well I don’t really need anything big right now, likens full PC, laptop, etc. Maybe I’ll just get a DVD’s or something. Even with a $20 gift card, Best buy prices were so marked up, they were either still more expensive, or the same price as other stores. I think other stored were selling DVD’s at like $15 (none new-releases) and best buy was $35. I’m shocked they’re still around to be honest.

  I can confirm rhe xdrip app works on grapheneOS, currently use it on a pixel 8a

  Yo, from one type 1 to another, get yourself some xdrip to replace the dexcom app, its miles ahead and more configurable.

  github.com/NightscoutFoundation/xDrip

  And depending on which omnipod you got, and how technical you are, check out AndroidAPS if you want an open source closed-loop solution.

  androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

  If you got the omnipod dash you can use it directly with AndroidAPS via Bluetooth.

  I use both of these with dexcom G6 and an accu-chek Bluetooth insulin pump, and its amazing vs the commercial solutions.
