Agree. And as someone who planted that tree 25 years ago, the shade sure is nice year after year.

yt-dlp is my go to. It’s the open source project most other things use behind the scenes

Small ups systems use sealed lead acid so venting isn’t a concern

Complete nonsense. Enterprise drives are better for reliability if you plan on a ton of writes, but ZFS absolutely does not require them in any way.

Next you’ll say it needs ECC RAM

And if you dont have ECC zfs just might save your bacon when a more basic fs would allow corruption

AI might improve their messaging soon

Do you send all outgoing email from individualized addresses too?

I do the same as you (raccoon.uber@ball.com), but all my outgoing emails come from (raccoon@ball.com), it worked great for about 5 years until people with me in their address book started getting hacked.

Not usually

I feel like most people don’t even check their ISP email anymore. Why use that instead of the Gmail you’ve had for 18 years.

It’s not hard on Debian

I wish there was a middle ground. The grey market keys provide convenience that pirating doesn’t, like steam activation.

I stopped using key resellers for games though after learning about how they’re sourced

This type of thing is why I, against all internet advice, host my own email. It’s a pain but it’s nice being in control.

A week is recent enough to renew usually if you care

Yeah I really don’t get the argument that paying for YouTube premium should hide links that directly support a creator you like.

If anything I’d complain if YouTube hid them as it would be an easy “I got mine” response

Their comment shows -37 here

I’m still sticking with IRC.

You’ll all be back… Some day

If that’s true it seems like the name is fooling people

Apparently that good sound is due to extensive software processing. The asahi devs really want to make a good impression, so they’re spending a lot of time tweaking their sound processing to try to match or beat the MacOS quality before release. Which is both good and annoying. I appreciate the attention to detail, but it would be nice to have any speaker support when I just need to hear something quickly.

The graphics drivers are still in active development, but they have OpenGL3.1 support. Vulkan is under development.

I haven’t tried games, but have seen some posts where users have them working. I don’t think many games are compiled for arm yet though. The graphics dev did a youtube stream back in march where she plays steam games using FEX-Emu. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJSfFzsU75g

They also said it was mandatory for all the students and teachers to use the stupid 2FA Microsoft app on our phone, but I’ve been using Keepass on desktop without problems (and even shown it to some students).

Yeah if they’re just using the MS app for OTP generation, there’s no reason to use that specific application. Keepass is perfectly fine.

Asahi is pretty great. Only issue for me personally is the lack of speaker support. Audio works fine through headphone jack or bluetooth though.

I always perfer FOSS whenever possible.

I figure if someone out there is working on a project and wants me to use it, I owe it to them to at least give it a shot.

Occasionally, the proprietary stuff is the only option. And occasionally-occasionally that company isn’t worth supporting or the price is unreasonable or more than I could afford. In which case, perhaps some seas are sailed.
