This might be for the better, but Discord was so infuriating about updates and forcing you to download them what felt like 50% of the time I opened it, I gave up and just use it in Ungoogled Chromium now. I’m pretty sure within a few months I ended up having 15+ debs of Discord in my Downloads folder.
For anyone else trying to use the native Discord app on Debian, I think they’ll find this a major treat.
First pass reading the title I thought it read “Still getting dumber lately?” And I’m just like “Yup!”
Here I was thinking a new revision of Power over Ethernet was announced and I was thoroughly confused
The digital sign the local university has is powered by a Raspberry Pi - I caught it rebooting while driving past
For me, my default browser is LibreWolf with several privacy hardening extensions, but if I do come across a website that fails, my usual route goes LibreWolf > Firefox > Ungoogled Chromium
If it doesn’t work beyond that then I just won’t use the website.
God I can only imagine spoonkid reading this sponsor out and it wouldn’t even sound off
While I’m far from being a sysadmin I’m in the same boat. Main study laptop is Linux but I just end up using Windows on my gaming PC for the same reasons.
I think this is a bad take, a take that assumes one is superior for using Linux over proprietary alternatives
I mean that’s a fair assumption of what their ticker might’ve been
Looking up the specs of a D270, looks like the memory is upgradable.
It also looks like the Intel Atom N2600 it has (from my reading) is actually a 64-bit processor
I’d probably say you shouldn’t have much trouble finding a bigger DDR3 memory stick for it for dirt cheap or free from an e-wasted notebook
Ultimately it depends if the performance loss you’re finding is memory limited or CPU limited right now, but I would think that giving it 2 or 4GB + giving it 64-bit would go a long way
This all happened two weeks before I started, so I don’t know the exact details. If it was set up the way I think it was, I’d say yes, the DC was in it’s own VM and then a separate VM would’ve been used as a NAS. Of course being hardware RAID the whole host server went down when that card failed.
They probably didn’t have a second DC set up due to the DEFCON 5 levels of “We can’t work!”
They were ultimately planning on going to the cloud anyway from what I heard and that catastrophe just accelerated that plan ahead
I got a server from ewaste because the RAID card did fail and having SAS drives they couldn’t even pull data from it with anything else. It was the domain controller and NAS so as you can imagine, very disruptive to the business. As they should they had an offsite backup of the system and so we just restored onto a gaming PC as a temporary solution until we moved them to M365 instead.
I just use software RAID on it now and so far so good for about 180 days.
I have email addresses under Outlook (old personal account), Gmail (study provided email), Exchange (work) and Proton (main personal account). I also actively use the calendar feature in my client, which is sync’d up to my Nextcloud instance.
Just having it all under Thunderbird is so convenient and it feels more private. It’s also an entirely consistent UI between accounts
My thoughts exactly seeing this post. Haven’t heard that particular rhetoric here before. Typing this from my Pixel 7a running GrapheneOS
Should be the same link without the tracking
For the phone bit, I started off with really old smartphones like a Galaxy S1, but basically any old old phones are really built like mini laptops and are usually pretty modular as they weren’t often water resistant or actively anti-repair
However I fully get your point and fall into the same boat with cars
I just want you to know that was an amazing read, was actually thinking “It gets worse? Oh it does. Oh, IT GETS EVEN WORSE?”
Yeah, I believe that was a change they made not long after shafting 3rd party apps. I had a couple older iOS devices with their own older versions of third party apps, and that change effectively made any post with a Reddit uploaded image unviewable. Incredibly infuriating and I can’t understand the logic behind it either.
I will say that further to that, a few years ago Imgur made a change that does the same damn thing if it detects you’re on mobile. Unless you tick “Show Desktop Site” in your browser, it’s impossible to actually standalone view a direct image.
Just a note to say that PolyMC has previously proven itself a troubled project, with the project owner Lenny at one point completely removing all other contributor’s access as he “purged the leftoids” (or something to that effect), and PrismLauncher is a fork made by those contributors
Its pedantic and distracts from the real conversation happening. I’ve always considered “stock” to mean how the device ships from the factory (that’s how the term is used in the automobile world), whereas I would think it fair to consider AOSP a standard, it’s something you can compare other ROMs against.
Regardless of mine or anyone else’s opinion, we’re just ultimately wanting to talk about how GrapheneOS is much closer to the clean and uncluttered experience AOSP offers
