  Still, most people will look at the TV during the meeting, so all you see is one side of their faces.

  We tried the owls in some of our meeting rooms and we scrapped those.

  What’s the point of having a 360 camera in the center of the room when everyone will stare at the big TV anyway? All the people at the other end see is everyone looking sideway to the camera.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Entry-Level NAS recommendations?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You either have

  • Easy to use
  • Will eventually lose support
  • May remain unpatched or
  • Require more maintenance
  • You can run the OS of your choice
  • It’s your responsibility to ensure it remains patched

  I decided I wanted something long-term, and bought a NAS appliance I can boot my own OS onto it, so I went with the Ugreen DXP2800.

  I’m running Ubuntu LTS, with Cockpit as the webUI to manage parts of it, and my web services are all running through podman containers (aka quadlets).

  There’s a bit of a learning curve, for all of this.

  You may want to have a dead man’s switch so that the server shuts down without your intervention, or there’s the possibility that the police could retrieve the encryption key in RAM through some physical attacks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ideas⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I host a couple of encrypted snapshots in the cloud (stuff that I can’t afford to lose), but it’s still vastly cheaper to host a massive amount of data locally.

  The stuff I have locally mostly stuff I can recover elsewhere (yarr), so redundancy without backup is good enough cost-wise.

  Good thing the fediverse is decentralized :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox consoles are getting a price bump. Again.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Look at me owning an Xbox even less.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Me too, but they’re all on my Plex server for all my homies to see.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There is no good reason why there is still homelessness and poverty⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Even worse is that they try to gaslight society into thinking the poors are leeches and parasites on society, while it’s been them all along.

  They’re accusing them of being terminally online and posting a lot, which isn’t against the rule, and I don’t see @Davriellelouna@lemmy.world posting irrelevant or spammy stuff.

  If they’re unhappy with that, they can block that user and move on if they don’t appreciate the content.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A List of Open Source Game Clones⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And for Linux handhelds there’s PortMaster to easily use some of them on the go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I build a fully decentralised website?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  IPFS with MFS to ensure you can update your website after publishing and your choice of static website generator could be a way of doing it.

  TIL about BDXL, I thought the Blu-Ray format stopped at 50GB.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I also had all the Pebble, and technology has come a long way since.

  The incoming Pebble revival uses the nRF52840 chip, which they estimate the battery life to around 30 days, from the usual 7 days.

  You click on a genre and let it play mindlessly, like when listening to radio.

  Wait, so the dude honked after her because she was speeding 20 above the limit, and she’s thinking she’s taking the high road by slowing down 30 under the limit just to spite him for her being wrong? 🤔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Woolworths payment change as popular system [Scan&Go] gets axed: 'Devastated'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A supermarket chain named Metro in Quebec (Canada) did a test-run for more than a year then scrapped the project.

  They decided to add more self-checkout machines instead…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Woolworths payment change as popular system [Scan&Go] gets axed: 'Devastated'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We had a similar system at the supermarket I went, however it was some barcode reader you had to pick up at the entrance, but the system itself was nice as you could pack as you went, and when you were done you could just scan the QR code at the self-checkout terminal where it would upload all the stuff you scanned, then all you had to do was pay.

  No need to fiddle with the temperamental self-checkout system, I’m sad it’s gone :(

  When do we reach the point where we get to post-scarcity and that we no longer work for money, instead we just try to make society better as a whole for our common goal à la Star Trek?
