I live in a national park and the Govt just awarded a contract to a private company to build a fiber line to the villages for high speed internet, and the company building the thing will own the network while the govt is stuck paying the bill forever. So stupid imho. No private company should own a network that exists entirely on federal land, and everyone depends on .

I had a cis major and I didn’t have issues using Linux all that often. One class we had to write code in VisualStudio, before the Linux version existed. My professor was fine with me using my own IDE as long as the code compiled on Windows, which it did after adding about 3 lines of code to the start.

If we had shared documents they went in Google docs, and libre office, (open office at the time) docs were exported as PDF before submitting. I also had a Windows 10 VM ready to go just in case, but rarely used it.

Billionaires. Nobody ever needs that much wealth. Resources better used elsewhere for the public good.

LG, Nestlé, Coke-Cola, Amazon, TikTok, Temu, any big brand bank, ASUS, Johnson Outdoors brands (jetboil, scuba pro)

Edit:forgot Tyson foods and Hormel. Their fucking over chicken farmers.

I work in hospitality and our systems are completely down. No POS, no card processing, no reservations, we’re completely f’ked.

Our only saving grace is the fact that we are in a remote location and we have power outages frequently. So operating without a POS is semi-normal for us.

Not yet. It will be integrated in a layer point release

For my use, it actually cost less to use B2 than the home backup product. The bulk of my data is Linux isos so I’m not really worried about losing it.

I do use ZFS and I just backup the files with restic. To restore a file in a zfs snapshot I would have to download the entire thing to a spare HDD, even if I only need to recover a few files. Restic has snapshots too and is designed to be used with cloud providers like B2.

I’ve used backblaze b2 for almost 8 years now and it just works. I’ve never had any data lost by them in that time.

I just recently switched over to Storj.io as it a bit cheaper at only $4/TB as compared to B2 at $6/TB. Both are S3 compatible and work with just about every backup software out there. I have used Borg, Kopia and now Restic to do backups of important data. All 3 tools deduplicate all your data and reduces the amount of storage used. They also do encryption client side and are open source. They also have a built-in verification mechanism that checks the data is intact.

I’ve had Girls Aloud in my rotation recently. Their songs are just fun and really catchy. Also have The Veronicas, Brittany Spears, Taylor Swift etc…

I would really like a community for Volkswagen cars with q&a on mechanical problems, tips etc so I can stop going to reddit

Works great. Setup a month ago and imported over 600 documents, both digital and scanned. Makes backup a lot easier too as everything is in one place now.

I went that route with an unlocked ASUS zenfone and it turns out that phone is impossible to replace the screen on because replacement parts are not available where I live. I had to buy a new phone without a headphone jack. Check for parts availability before buying something from a smaller brand.

I use a mokapot, but I also run fedora on my laptop. What does that make me?

Where in the world do these things live? I’ve never seen anything like it before, and we have some pretty crazy things you can find in a house here in Aus

Hardware virtualization is often disabled in the bios by default and probably just needs to be enabled. Called something like AMD-VT or INTEL-Vd

Cars=freedom

There’s a reason why in the game you could never put a portal on a moving surface

I switched to Nebula its affordable and has lots of interesting content from YouTubers I most often watched. Their business is sustainable, pays the creators fairly and has no ads or recommendation algorithm.

I’ve also tried out Odyssey and had the same issues with it. There was one or two channels I would actually watch, but I think the crypto stuff attracts a certain libertarian type. I don’t think it’s sustainable long term.

No nonsense from my glass containers. Glass is non-reactive so you can really put anything in it without issues. Acid (like tomatoes) tend to take on a metallic flavour from metal containers like stainless, and plastic can melt if your not careful.
