  • After three months on Linux, I don’t miss Windows at all

    Jump

  • The only thing windows has for it is compatibility with certain software. Fortunately this gets better and better all the time, being able to run windows software under Linux has been great. Steam with it's proton has done wonders for gaming under Linux.

  • Wisdom in age

    Jump

  • It's weird, I'm the same age as old people but I don't feel old... Except when I try and get up or down, I feel that 😕

  • 50% Of AI Data Centers Have Quietly Been Cancelled Or "Delayed"

    Jump

  • Does this mean RAM gets cheaper?

  • French PR Executive With Links to Gas Industry Behind Facebook Network Spreading Heat Pump Hate

    Jump

  • It is 100% separate. I have two heat pumps and no solar yet (mostly because the initial cost). I hope to do solar soon but heat pumps made a lot of sense even without the solar

  • French PR Executive With Links to Gas Industry Behind Facebook Network Spreading Heat Pump Hate

    Jump

  • I have two heat pumps and they will struggle when temps get too low, often not heating to what you might be used to. But I do love them and encourage more people to seriously look at them. I use them to supplement my propane heat which means I use less propane.

  • I'm excited.... I probably wasn't going to get the steam cube even before the hike in prices for RAM but if this works with Linux and is reasonably priced, I'll probably get it. Hope it comes out soon.

  • Amazon: Older Kindles can no longer download e-books

    Jump

  • I have a kindle that I've had for ages. It has been jailbroken for a while and I've been loading my own epubs onto it. They make it easy with the 1 click send to kindle stuff but that locks you in to their ecosystem.

  • 2026 is the year of the Linux desktop

    Jump

  • I've gotten it to "work" but it's fragile and updates tend to break it. I ended up switching to FreeCAD, it's come a long way and version 1.1 is pretty great.

  • wtf is even happening

    Jump

  • Raspberry Pi's were amazing when they were like $30.... cheap enough to be accessible to most people and you could do a lot with them. I still have an older Pi that runs pihole.

    Now that it's $300, there are a lot of other options out there. I find it hard to recommend a Pi anymore.

  • I'm cutting FB and IG entirely, is there a way to see content there without an account?

    Jump

  • Oh, I understand it... it's basically free and I think they feel that advertising on facebook is good business. Facebook has just made it hard to view without an account. I think I'd have less of a problem with it if I could view the information without facebook popping up a "create an account" modal constantly, preventing me from viewing the information.

  • Ford, Take Note: Classic Pickup Becomes The EV We Want

    Jump

  • This is cool but I think the reason Ford isn't selling many trucks is because they are expensive. And this at $95k... cool but too expensive for me. I realize batteries are expensive but they need to start making cheaper EVs. Not everyone can afford a luxury car/truck and the Lightning, while cool, is definitely a luxury truck.

  • I'm cutting FB and IG entirely, is there a way to see content there without an account?

    Jump

  • This... too many small businesses use facebook as their "webpage." I'm not creating an account, blank or otherwise, to view your hours... I probably just won't go.

  • I love password based login

    Jump

  • Email is considered insecure as a 2nd factor. TOTP stands for Time-based One-Time Password. Usually you store a seed and that combined with the time generates a time based password. If someone intercepts it, it's only valid for a certain time frame (I think about a minute or so), after which it's invalid.

  • Well, That’s One Way to Sell Americans on Electric Cars | The U.S. has been wary of EVs. As the cost of gas soars, we’re now paying the price.

    Jump

  • I wouldn't buy a car from Elon either, fortunately other companies make EVs

  • Pentagon is banning press photographers over ‘unflattering’ photos of Pete Hegseth: report

    Jump

  • Snowflakes

  • Here Are Your Choices for a Self-hosted eBook Server

    Jump

  • Some can be very big if they include pictures. (like cookbooks)

    However, yes.... if it's just say a fiction book with no pictures, they are kilobytes in size.

  • Epstein files suggest acts that may amount to crimes against humanity, say UN experts

    Jump

  • Are you saying there is precedence for what we currently have? Trump seems to think that he'll get impeached if republican's don't win. Then if he's out, Vance and him seem to have differing opinions on the Epstein files. Vance has also had some things to say before getting all budy-budy with Trump.

    France is currently investigating allegations. In fact 10 countries have opened investigations.

    So I suspect Trump is in the files, hence the coverup but once he's gone I think there might be enough public pressure to cause the next administration to do something.

    I mean, Biden pardoned his family because he thought the new administration would go after them.

    Of course, I can't see the future and maybe it all gets swept under the rug, but I'm hopeful.
