  Forget apple, we need more banana/banana creme ice cream flavors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for this, I’m going to set up my own Open RSC server tonight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting to see how dead the MMO genre has become. Are there still players around?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not too terrible to set up a RO server. There’s even a guide to running one on a Raspberry Pi.

  I followed the guide a few years back and it worked out pretty well. Instead of setting up a site to create user accounts I just ended up manually adding users to the database.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TitanFall 2 at 3$⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this worth it on Xbox One? A used copy is pretty cheap at GameStop. Wouldn’t want it on PC due to EA junk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone self hosting on Mac mini M1/M2?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone else has described the complications that a Mac mini would have. So why not consider something else? Lenovo, HP, and Dell make 1l ultra small form factor PCs and they’re pretty cheap on eBay. They’re also low power. Search for Tiny Mini Micro to find information.

  I have three Lenovo Thinkcentre machines - two with 32gb RAM and one with 64gb RAM - running my Proxmox VE cluster. Highly recommend using those small machines instead of a Mac mini.

  Criticizing cars or the use of cars tends to get a lot of negative feedback.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roku OS home screen is getting video ads for the first time⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Consider an ebike to supplement your car for shorter trips. I’ve just opted to ride my bikes more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone who has dealt with a couple dozen Surface devices in a corporate setting, I cannot recommend them. They’re fine when they work. When they have issues though, they are practically impossible to repair. Keyboard port issues, dock connection issues, bricked devices, and even expanding batteries are all issues I’ve run into. When you have an issue, Microsoft will just swap it out for a different one rather than fix the device.

  You missed the /s in your comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla scraps its plan for a $25,000 Model 2 EV⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think you’ve actually read any of the comments in this thread. Everything is a legit discussion of EVs and how Musk is handling this. Nobody is bashing China. If anyone is being criticized in this thread, it’s Musk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you un-smart a smart tv?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Generally, no. Manufacturers just bake in a DNS server setting and it will only fail over if it can’t get to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam Spring Sale is now in full swing⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved Anarchy Online back in the day. I don’t think I ever did anything particularly in depth on it, but I remember being proud that I had an in game apartment and a flying car thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla downsizes as it refocuses on Firefox and AI: Read the memo | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This just screams “stupid new CEO obsessed with trying to implement AI into everything”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for low power devices for selfhosting⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Risking sounding like a broken record, I always suggest Tiny/Mini/Micro 1L form factor office PCs. Lenovo, Dell, and HP all create ultra small office PCs that make great low power servers. A Pi will use 5-9w at idle, while these PCs will use 11-13w idle. They also use more standard components such as NVME drives, 2.5" drives, and replaceable RAM. Easy to find under $100 USD used, I’m sure you can find them under 100 euro.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Miyoo teases their GBA SP inspired retro handheld⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would be interested, depending on the price. Closed shell design means it can be tossed into a bag without worrying about scratching the screen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨makes sense⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably mining dogecoin or something else Musk would like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Broadcom's acquisition of VMware leads to massive layoffs, CEO tells remote workers "get your butt" back in the office⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Collaboration is important and a key part of sustaining a culture with your peers, with your colleagues," Tan added.

  BS. Collaboration does not require people to physically occupy the same space. It does require communication though, which happens quite easily thanks to the internet.

  This is just an excuse to get rid of people or to fill empty offices to appease money hungry property owners.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chart: Here's where utility-scale solar is located in the US⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That is a lot more in North Carolina than I expected. Nice!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Seconding this, especially if you enjoy homelab/DIY tech projects. It’s super simple with tons of guides around. Plus you get the added benefit of fewer ads and junk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FCC votes in favor for rules that reduce 'digital discrimination' for communities with poor internet access⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Good. Easy access to information should be accessible for everyone.

  Thankfully, you still can use an antenna to get over the air stations.

  I read a chunk of the manga before getting distracted by other stuff. How does the show compare?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The ASUS Eee PC and the netbook revolution⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In college, I had an Eee netbook and loved the thing. It was all I could afford for a computer at the time. I still love small computers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what custom rom do you use?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  LineageOS without any Google stuff installed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Advice around setting up two laptops, one as server⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, yes, SSH should be enough. I think I assumed a need for a GUI since you mentioned it had a GPU.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Advice around setting up two laptops, one as server⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Turn on SSH (text) and VNC (GUI, like Windows RDP) on L2, place wherever you want. Access it remotely to run whatever. Install and use samba to create a file share for your videos and music. Whenever you want to host a website, install apache or nginx as the host software.

  Cool with ditching fossil fuels, but screw Nestle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo demoed Switch 2 to developers at Gamescom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That would be nice, but it’s Nintendo so it probably will be old by the time it comes out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you work remotely, your bosses are probably using software to track you. Here's how they'll catch you slacking off.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty much - I have yet to see an employee monitoring service that works on Mac OSX or Linux.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you work remotely, your bosses are probably using software to track you. Here's how they'll catch you slacking off.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There are a bunch of different services that do this, I can’t tell you how to search for all of them. It’s safer to just assume it’s there. I’m also not going to divulge which one we’re using at my company. Just wanted to give people a heads up.
