Funny how you seem to imply that nobody likes to use self checkout.

Yup, that’s the correct reaction.

You might want to actually read the article, cause that’s completely missing the point of the program, and ignoring all context. As with all things, context matters.

It’s a free market though. You can just buy from the wonderful companies that are Dell or Lenovo instead. Don’t try to look to closely at them, or you won’t be able to but a laptop ever again.

It highly depends on the job. Some companies run fully on Windows, no exceptions. There it obviously would not help. But many still either host various services on Linux, or buy hosting/cloud commuting that is Linux based. There it might even be necessary.

It also depends on what you mean by “power user”. I would generally advise you to look into the server side of things. In my work, there are zero Linux machines that have a GUI of any kind installed. t The 50 or so Linux machines are all administered through SSH and Shell.

I remember that Asus did this back in the day at least, not sure if they still do. But I remember having rss feeds for at least 2 of my motherboards in my reader, back when rss was actually widely used. It’s been like 10-15 years though…

Arguably gambling.

I didn’t initially read the title and guessed it was “new world order beyond heavy metal”. Reasonably close I’d say.

Well there more than one solution, if you want it. First of all, podman actually works fine with docker compose files. There may be some adjustments needed in other places, because despite the claim of being “a drop in docker replacement”, it just isn’t (quite). So assuming you install docker compose (not docker), you can just “docker-compose up” (note the dash) and it should work. Should.

Your can also just spin up a VM and install docker with compose in there, just for testing and/or running immich.

QOwnNotes for me. Also such a catchy name. Seriously though, ignore the stupid name, just give it a try.

“Immich” might be a real option, I don’t quite understand why you think it’s overkill?

I mean syncthing has been mentioned plenty, but of course Nextcloud also solves the problem. It’s can’t truly sync a folder, but it works fine for backing up photos and videos.

That is indeed US-specific. I’m in the EU, and here it’s defined by when and how it’s switched. Specifically, it is required to be tied to the brake pedal (i.e. then intention to brake) and/or the hand brake being pulled. It is not allowed to illuminate otherwise. But the exact specifics probably also vary by country here. That’s why I emphasized that part.

EDIT: There are actually deceleration values in some laws, possibly tied to regulation of EVs and the regenerative braking. Since that isn’t necessarily tied to the brake pedal when silmulating engine braking, but can be adjusted in strength at will (it isn’t tied to the mechanics of the drag of an idling engine as it would with an ICE). A quick google told me that the lights are allowed to come on at 0.7 m/s² and are required to come on at 1.3 m/s². This obviously implies that they are NOT allowed to come on below 0.7 m/s². This still applies only to (pure) EVs, as far as I can tell (not hybrids, and not ICE powered cars).

Oh yes, that sounds right. Thanks!

Because there are laws that specify when the brake light has to come on, and it isn’t when the car shows down (slightly). You could be starting to go up hill, or a list of other reasons. The point of brake lights isn’t too signify the car slowing, but that the driver intends to slow down. Which is also why it doesn’t come on if you’re motor breaking" (is that the right term?).

This obviously varies wildly depending on where you are in the world. I’m also sure there are some places where it would be allowed.

This actually sounds quite interesting. Is this controlled with DNS entries at the domain level somehow, or is the subdomain fixed/mandatory?

Yes exactly. I didn’t wanna name-drop them cause they are closed for new dynDNS signups. You can create an account to manage your own domain, but you currently can’t signup for their dynDNS service, unfortunately.

That being said, I would still highly recommend them for managing your own domain, if you’re looking for a place to host literally just the DNS part.

There are dyndns providers that support the DNS challenge that have free tiers. Those are sufficient, and you can even get wildcard certs for your subdomain that way. Perfectly sufficient for a homelab.

For it to do that, “Auto-Correct” in the Gboard settings has to be on. You can also kind of accidentally kill a feature like this by having a single lowercase i added to the dictionary. If you have, just remove it like someone showed above. Note: there is no list of words in the options anywhere where you can see the list, you can do it while typing anywhere though. Just type a single I, press space, then backspace, then drag the single “i” entry from the suggestions to the trash that appears when you hold the i.

side note: I have typed this comment using Gboard glide, and I had to correct a total of 2 words. Everything else was recognized as intended.

Yeah I was just so confused when I found out that this isn’t possible. Like, it’s a file hosting and sync-ing application. That’s like absolute basics. It isn’t even “just” an open source project any more, there’s a company behind this product now. I am the last person to be angry about an open source project, run by a volunteer or three, not being feature complete.

For what it’s worth I think it works in the iOS version of the app (possibly always has?). But that’s doesn’t exactly help me either.

The native Android client just can’t do two way sync. Just put a text file or something into any folder (from the web or desktop). Now sync that folder to Android. Now edit it on the web/desktop, and look for the changes on Android (without actively telling it to “sync”). Then change the file on Android, these 2nd changes are never sent back to the server unless you explicitly tell it to “sync” again, manually. That’s what I mean with 2 way sync.

There are quite a few files where you just need that to work to use them properly, like the database of a password manager as a prime example. Mine can talk to Nextcloud natively, so I don’t need the client for that, but I was incredibly close to just switching to syncthing, if I didn’t have active users that use the web office integration of Nextcloud.

Nextcloud can’t do two-way sync on Android. At all. That’s like core functionality for the product IMHO and there’s a feature request open I think. When I found that out, I basically spit out my coffee. It’s fine if you just want to upload photos you take, that kinda works (but my god is it fragile).

Nextcloud is pretty good at quite a few things, including extensibility, but having some omissions in functionality that boggle the mind.
