“We believe in an open internet… as long as you use these specific services.”

This really sucks. So we’re looking at a future where search engines are like streaming services now. “Hmmm now which search engine was <insert website here> on?”

I was entering my teens in the early 2000’s. My memory is terrible but my family got a pentium 3 desktop PC and I remember I had some versions of SuSE, Ubuntu and Mandrake (or was it Mandriva by then) on that PC at one time or another. My family never knew how to use it because it was different all the time. Heck I didn’t know how to use it.

When I built my first PC, a pentium 4, I dual booted windows and some flavour of Linux for a time, but I got into PC gaming so I only casually checked out new releases of Ubuntu over the years. Once Proton arrived though it was finally time to make the switch.

I’m not a developer, I made a pong clone with python once because I wanted to learn for the sake of it, but I support a few projects financially that I enjoy, I try to submit bug reports best I can. For the most part the community is great, and yes I use Arch btw.

This is what happened to me just recently. Have been using Niagara for about a year but just discovered Kvaesitso. They each do some things better than the other but both have some really great features that aren’t just about what you can do to a 5 x 6 grid.

Late reply, but I’ve got 4 proxmox nodes. TrueNAS with an HBA passed through, the arr stack, jellyfin, Home assistant, Nextcloud, bookstack, Unifi network application, Kavita, a windows VM with a 3080ti passed through that the kids can connect to using moonlight to play games on various tvs/devices. Various Linux distros to play around and test configs before I make any serious changes to my main desktop. Most recently set up graylog to pull in logs from pfsense and Unifi.

I have an insatiable thirst to just learn!

When it comes to copies, 1 is none, 2 is one, and 3 is a backup!

Very similar to my setup as well. I have a Qotom with 5x2.5Gb NICs. It’s got a lower end processor - Intel Celeron J4125 but I haven’t noticed any performance issues with my 1.5Gb connection.

I’ve got my proxmox cluster and my workstation on one interface with a 2.5Gb unmanaged switch, and then on another interface a Unifi 8 Lite PoE switch with 2 Unifi AP’s where all the streaming devices, wife’s and kids devices live.

I’ll throw in my vote for Kavita. Works great. I read a lot on my phone so I just saved the app shortcut to my home screen from Firefox.

Because you just might happen to be Mr. Naughty Dog himself browsing Lemmy and thinking “wow that’s the kind of talent I need on my team!”

They’ll probably go the way other big subscription services like MS and Adobe are. Annual commitment with monthly payments of x.99 or no commitment with monthly pricing of y + x.99

I dislike that even more.

Mine machines are all named after Final Fantasy Summons/Espers/Eidolons/Aeons/Primals.

My main proxmox node is Bahamut. I try to pick a suitable summon that matches the host but that doesn’t always work.

I’m still there as well, so much to complete still. I want to finish it so I can go back and finish Hogwarts legacy so that I can go back to my regular scheduled program of FFXIV.

Yeah it’s a little odd using it on android due to the iOS design, and for some reason the framerate of navigating around is very low/choppy for me. Not sure if webapps have limitations that way but otherwise it’s a great app.

I migrated back to android a few months ago from about 5 years on iOS and watchOS. I generally “switch teams” every few years and both platforms have their strengths.

I have a pixel watch now and there are a couple of compromises coming from an apple watch in my use case. Battery is no where near as good. The Stocard app where you can store many of your retail store loyalty cards is handy on a watch to load up the bar code to scan at stores, the pixel watch loads up a very small bar code that many scanners have trouble with so I just pull out my phone for that.

But on the other hand having a watch face that is not just one of apples approved 15 faces is nice. I like the circular design more.
