not sure bout ms but nintendo, i doubt they ever will.

i usually don’t do anything unless it breaks. (other than cleaning exterior dust)

plastic clips on those consoles are fragile, so frequent disassembly may actually have adverse effects

it’s pretty good.

but because of the 1GB ram limit, you can’t run many apps at once on iOS 12. the phone can be (untethered) downgraded to iOS 10.3.3, so that would make it more usable as a feature phone..

modern app support is of course terrible. but there are community patches for some popular social media stuff if you need those. the builtin Safari browser is quite broken on ‘modern’ websites, but someone recently ported Chromium to run on iOS 12+ and that kinda works albeit slowly.

kitkat? they blocked direct sdcard access and introduced SAF

thanks! will look into it

this is true, refurb drives should be avoided unless it’s a very good deal. used drives are fine as long as the conditions are clear.

8.1 didn’t dial back the start screen, they only added the start button back.

8/8.1 was indeed faster than both 7 and 10. it flies on a core2duo with hdd.

xp’s new start menu was bad, at least they still had the old menu as an option until vista. but in 7 they removed that amd forced another menu. and in 8 replaced menu with a screen..

the pre-xp ‘classic’ menu was nice because you could customize everything

boku no pico

nice phone! all of my phones i tested (with replacable battery) refuse to work without battery attached and almost instantly turns off if i ever detach it while running, even with power connected.

install ACCA to restrict battery charging current and capacity for safety

is this related to fosscord/spacebar?

i’m starting to think these people either don’t read the post body and only the title. or they’re bots? lol.

because i don’t want to use podman/docker? if you read the OP and the rest of the thread you wouldn’t have posted this comment…

yeah, it’s only job is to serve photos yet it needs a whole linux container to run… i get why some people like it but i said it’s not what i want.

it’s not that the deployment process looks hard. it’s an extremely complex piece of software, something that only provides “container” (read: full linux image) method for deployment because it’s too complex to install manually. if something ever goes wrong inside that container, i won’t be able to fix it.

no, it’s more about that i don’t want a separate linux installation on my freebsd server, all with it’s useless attack surfaces and such. i want something lightweight, and i specifically mentioned immich isn’t what i want in the OP. yet you folks are all downvoting and trying to persuade me to try that. no, i’m not using that.

after hearing it a few times i’ve tried it before and it’s not what i want. even ignoring the server part i hate that clunky google photos ripoff web interface.

if you do this, be sure to root and install ACCA to restrict battery charging and limit current for safety/longevity

this might actually work. thanks!

i have used DigiKam in the past, it’s more of an alternative to XnView not a selfhosted gallery… it doesn’t even support mobile phones or web

I really don’t want another complex service i have to manage. ideally i want something that’s a simple python/perl/php script or something like that.

zulip seemed really nice and mature last i checked, it was the best option i could find last time i seeked a replacement for some small discord group i’m part of.

i don’t have many servers exposed publicly other than apache2(+freshrss) and opensshd. server runs freebsd and apache2 runs on a jail. nothing special other than that, so i could theoretically get instantly pwned with a openssh 0day.

i usually connect two machines with tailscale and use ssh forwarding

yep, i used to use this behind a cgnat. being a broke kid i couldn’t have another machine with exposed ports proxy things

(afaik) it has the privilege to operate as a backdoor transparent from the os because it operates on low level like intel me

lmaoooo

we did have those with BBSes for sure

i subscribe to specific channels using rss like normal blogs and download videos i want using ytdlp. not really moving away from it but its good enough for me
