- Comment on RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously! 3 days ago:
Yeah, i also have backups of my files… but every single time such a failure occured was when i under no circumstances needed a downtime like that (important project to finish, holidays where all shops are closed…) and i simply developed some superstition regarding SSDs.
It also wasn’t brand specific, i had it happen with Sandisk and Verbatim so far.

The thing is: With a spinning disk i can hear when things start to get spooky…
- Comment on RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously! 3 days ago:
Nah… i don’t trust SSD’s, had too many dying over the years without any form of warning.

I write this post from a Core2Quad machine with 8 GB of DDR2 RAM and a spinning harddisk… and the system feels quiet fast and nimble.

There is already postmarketOS if you have an old supported phone somewhere in the drawer… it has still some rough edges, but it works and gives a nice glimpse into that ecosystem.

I still like Opera but I would really wish they would move to a different browser engine…
- Comment on Make Microsoft's CEO cry by installing Chrome's 'Microslop' extension 1 week ago:
Bill doesn’t gave a shit either about me religiously repeating that in a world without walls nobody did need Gates or Windows… but it felt better reiterating this mantra.
- Comment on I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows 1 week ago:
You could say the same about drugs…
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Why should we need “equal power” to some hypothetical “cloud pc”? We did video cutting, 3D rendering, webbrowsing, videochatting and so on in the late 90s with PCs whose CPU speeds where measured in Mhz not Ghz… with the PCs build in the last ~15 years i really, really see no danger of running out of useable devices within my lifetime (i am slightly over 40 now).
If there will be some time in the future when its only possible to get “meaningful employment” or “make appointments” using some cloud based shitstain i will happily spend my last days doing my part in helping to burn down this dystopic society.

Oh… right…
- Comment on Never-before-seen Linux malware is “far more advanced than typical” 2 weeks ago:
Yourself and the code you read and understand. So as long as you don’t use a system where this is possible (say 9Front and the like) you trust nothing and nobody, do careful backups and don’t go on a installation spree.

My computer, my rules… and if I want a piece of software out it will move out.

Why not self host it? If you use Software like snac or gotosocial its quiet easy and soft on resources.

The age of pocket computers ended with the Atari Portfolio. What we got now is the electronic form of Soma.
- Comment on Does Lemmy need a fork or a rewrite due to its maintainers views? 5 weeks ago:
No. If the project is interesting enough for people spending their time developing and using it there will always be running Lemmy instances. The need for funding over the amount people are willing to dedicate to a hobby project is the death of a project like this.
- Comment on Does Lemmy need a fork or a rewrite due to its maintainers views? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t see a “we” in this, follow the free software way: Don’t like it? Fork it yourself or don’t use it.

Fuck “Hacker News”, the people that hang around there are in major ways responsible for the shitty state the internet -and the world- is in now.

Do yourself a favor and try Vivaldi, while yes, it uses Chromium under the hood, it at least is made by some of the original Opera creators
