  • This Google Photos popup

    Jump

  • Honestly I'm done with Google Photos, I mean I get that it was free and that I shouldn't complain about that, but I already pay with my privacy, so why pay money and have my data abused everywhere I go?

    I now have a home server (second hand mac mini m2) with PhotoPrism installed

  • I hate that kind of stuff, when I see this I wonder if they hash the password at all

  • Vanilla OS 2 Orchid - Stable Release

    Jump

  • I've tried them a long time ago, before moving to another OS because they had some features that VanillaOS was still developing. I'm going to give it another shot now that the stable v2 is out!

  • Found it! This was the irl pic we had it based on. The artist made it quite different but we felt it had the same vibe, so we kept it as it was!

  • Me and my bf

    Jump

  • Thanks! I dont know how I can upload the pic it was based on, but it was of us in the forest, similar place to the art

  • How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse)

    Jump

  • Very interesting read, it showcases how big tech can grow more aware of the "threat" of the Fediverse and how they might act.

    UPDATE: Those rumours have been confirmed as at least one Mastodon admin, kev, from fosstodon.org, has been contacted to take part in an off-the-record meeting with Meta. He had the best possible reaction: he refused politely and, most importantly, published the email to be transparent with its users. Thanks kev!

    What a hero, whoever you are!

  • Intel doesn’t think that Arm CPUs will make a dent in the laptop market

    Jump

  • Nice, cool to see more people have an arm Lemmy instance

  • Intel doesn’t think that Arm CPUs will make a dent in the laptop market

    Jump

  • Yeah makes sense! It probably doesn't although I have no benchmarks to prove it, it just is enough for me. I know this much though: even if the x86 server had the same specs (ram, GHz) as the arm version it likely still draws more power

  • Intel doesn’t think that Arm CPUs will make a dent in the laptop market

    Jump

  • The server was a second hand server that has 32GB RAM and 2 i7 CPU's, it was made in 2015 so quite old. The Odroid has only 8GB of RAM but for my purposes that's enough, and given the power it saves it's absolutely a bargain!

    If I ever need this much memory again I can just temporarily spin up something more powerful, for all other 24/7 tasks I can keep up the efficient ARM server.

  • Intel doesn’t think that Arm CPUs will make a dent in the laptop market

    Jump

  • Yeah it's mostly performance related. I have like 10 different websites running all at once, and while CPU and RAM aren't 100% all the time, with a heavy load I don't have enough free to do it

  • I wish the Pinebook Pro was updated cause I'd give that a shot. Or better, an ARM powered Framework laptop

  • I replaced my old Intel Core i7 HP ProLiant server with an Odroid M1 (ARM Based) and it consumes 2 watts compared to 72 that the Intel Server did.

    The only thing I can't do with it is my Minecraft server, it runs all else perfectly. Even the Lemmy instance of this account is powered by the same server! And what's more it basically runs for free, as solar generates enough power for the server to consume, even when it's cloudy.

    Yes, I believe Intel should be afraid.

  • MW3's New Cheating Policy!

    Jump

  • It still sounds very unreal! I'm in the EU, idk if it's a thing here as well...

    My boyfriend just got a partial fursuit, and I really get the appeal of fursuits now!

  • MW3's New Cheating Policy!

    Jump

  • While I heard of swatting, I've never heard of such a thing as companies sending police to your house and taking private property, to be honest. It sounds next-level. In fact, reading your comment makes me feel I just jumped in a parallel universe...

  • MW3's New Cheating Policy!

    Jump

  • That can't be real right? How can a company just send police to your house?

  • Did we kill Linux's killer feature?

    Jump

  • I actually like Flatpaks... I use dpkg/apt-get for system packages that cannot be installed in userspace, and flatpaks for desktop apps / games. Many distro's have unified ways to update them anyway (at least VanillaOS has)

  • I think hed be pretty happy with that! That 13% may be less, but its all from 1 manufacturer or brand. They dont need to share a piece of the pie!

  • Anon is tired

    Jump

  • I did the same thing. I still am on social media such as lemmy and discord but its mostly to talk to people. And I havent watched the news since I was a child. Important things come your way eventually and I dont see it as being ignorant. Now I only receive information I can actually do something about if I want to.
