Slow mode?
- Comment on Which Linux Distribution has the best Community Support? 4 weeks ago:
where you can talk to actual helpful humans and solve a problem together if you get stuck
I’m not directly answering your question here, but I just want to say that slrpnk.net/c/linux@lemmy.ml here on Lemmy is exactly this and there are people using all sorts of distributions. I’ve found everyone there extremely helpful.
- Comment on Recommendations? 1 month ago:
Yes! I started playing this and really enjoyed it but I got stuck and couldn’t work out where to go. I’ll see if I can find a walkthrough.
- Comment on What type of computer setup would one need to run ai locally? 1 month ago:
I’m running a couple of smaller chat models on my mid-range new-ish laptop and they’re fairly quick. Try out Jan with something like their jan-nano model on whatever you’ve already got and get a feel for what you can do.
- Comment on I made a way to remotely control my homelab without any internet access required 1 month ago:
This extremely cool.
- Comment on If God had wanted us to have nearly unlimited clean energy, He would have placed a fusion reactor into the sky. 1 month ago:
you can expect 0-2% output from a panel in the winter time
I can confirm this. My family is off-grid and there have been extended periods the last two winters when it has simply been too dark for too long to depend on the solar without installing 50x more panels.
Also, the problem with having larger battery capacity to span these periods is that if they don’t get fully recharged or cycled properly the batteries get damaged and eventually die. We learnt that the hard way.
Solar is the undisputed champion for 80-90% of the year but needs the complemented with something else for the remainder, if you want uninterrupted on-demand electricity.
- Comment on Self hosted live streaming 2 months ago:
You can share screen and camera on Jitsi Meet, which is a video-conferencing app. Not sure if there is any recording function built-in but you could just record everything with OBS.
- Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps 2 months ago:
Check out the YUNOhost repos. If everything you need is there (or equivalents thereof), you could start using that. After running the installation script you can do everything graphically via a web UI. Mine runs for months at a time with no intervention whatsoever. To be on the safe side I make a backup before I update or make any changes, and if there is a problem just restore with a couple of clicks via my hosting control panel.
I got into it because it’s designed for noobs but I think it would be great for anyone who just want to relax. Highly recommend.
- Comment on Me, My Projects, and a Tiny Canvas to Keep Them Together 2 months ago:
I’ve been wondering if something like this existed! It seems like a cross between Cherrytree and Minder, both of which are very cool.

Good idea, I should have thought of this!

Ok, got you. That’s still pretty cool.
- Comment on Do old people still remember their childhood? Do people just start losing their memories and their sense of self as they get older? 2 months ago:
This is a good question and I’ll be interested to see what others have to say. One thing I’ve noticed is that memories can transform into ‘memories of memories’. What I remember is not the felt impression of something but what I subsequently told or showed myself about it. And it doesn’t even just apply to childhood - I have same thing for big events in my life from last couple of years.
I do find that it’s possible to consciously dig deeper and unearth forgotten memories though.
I’ll also add that I think what constitutes a sense of ‘self’ is more than just memory.

I had no idea… How is it used? Can I sign in with a fediverse client app using a Nextcloud account and start commenting on stuff?

- Comment on If WWIII broke out tomorrow do you honestly believe america would win? 2 months ago:
If there is a third world war I think either everyone will lose in one day (nuclear weapons), or it will be sabotage and ‘special military operations’ everywhere for decades, and not named as a world war until later.

It sounds like what you’re looking for is Bandwagon.

You need to wipe it onto a bigger ostrich
- Comment on What is Substack and why all the sudden do all the content creators seem to be on it? 2 months ago:
It seems to be a way for people to have a paywalled blog without building their own website.

Trump’s biggest legacy will be the global shift to open source. His second biggest legacy will be the decline the US empire.

For sure.

Perhaps expensive briefly but the overall savings would be colossal.
- Comment on NHS England quietly removes open source policy web pages 2 months ago:
What exactly was formerly open source? I think the NHS has the more to gain from open source than almost anyone else I can think of. Incidentally they are also sitting on possibly the most valuable dataset on the planet.
