Nextcloud needs to port over some of the old OC Documentation. Their own docs make all kinds of references and it’s always something esoteric.

Trinitron Master Race and I’m here for it!

100%.

F-that! Take pride… Mint is ridiculously good. Well managed, stable, “just works” and yet has all the capabilities you want, including auto-running near the edge for current kernels (backed down to stable) without doing jack. You can run at the bleeding edge if you want to manage it yourself.

And for any haters - here’s my take: I’ve been working with Unix for 30+ years, I installed Slackware off of floppies when 16MB of RAM was god-like. I have built, compiled and managed nearly every distro at some point certainly the upstream giants. I’ve been there for the birth of all of them. I’ve also professionally worked on AIX, SunOS/Solaris, HPUX. Yes there’s a lot of fun in maintaining and running things to your satisfaction, but when you hit a certain inflection point of balancing your real life and maintaining distros across multiple machines and decide “This is the way” - Mint just fits the bill on so many levels.

Mint is the bomb and I’m done pretending. Fight me (not you, OP, you’re cool)

To be fair, it will also get stains out of clothes.

I’ve got.some bad news for you…

I’m right there with you. And finding addresses is useless… I have used magicearth for over a year and it’s solid. Not open source but respectful privacy policy

We are getting very close to approval of Melanoma vaccines. https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/14/health/moderna-merck-melanoma-vaccine-immunotherapy/index.html

For those not aware, Melanomas are not only one of the deadliest and most common cancers, it isn’t really very treatable with chemotherapies or radiation. And yes, Fuck cancer - we’re coming for you, bitch!

That would be a pretty bad marketing move given the overall popularity dip that WiiU brought. Stronger option? Switch DS XL…

This is the Internet. We don’t need proof.

Is Limewire still a thing?

Some perspective from a user who’s been on Magic Earth for well over a year:

• It works very well. With a few quirks, it’s like 90-95% as useful as Google Maps for a majority of personas
• It’s a mature app, finds most addresses (with possible exception of recent changes like a business moving)
• Does surprisingly well with being current on traffic conditions
• While not FOSS, they seem to be open about what they sell of your information and it’s in aggregate, so I’m much less worried about location data being tied to other online dossiers I’ve left in my digital paper trail.

I found that Organic Maps and OsmAnd+ just couldn’t cut it at all for finding addresses, routing wasn’t super great (or intuitive), and otherwise rated very low on family acceptance as a replacement for Google Maps. I used Acastus Photon for addresses and frankly it’s not that much better and the workflow was janky and pretty useless when you want to plot route waypoints. Magic Earth was the bridge between fully de-googling and having a livable acceptance factor. So far I haven’t seen them doing anything they don’t claim (not getting in trouble privacy-wise), so I’m good.

I would say “privacy friendly” is accurate in the title - but this is not FOSS. Even so for those looking to de-google without losing utility, I recommend it and am glad it exists.

Edit: I wish some apps (looking at you Starbucks!) would use a default mapping engine like Magic Earth instead of expecing Google Maps on Android phones (Graphene, Lineage, Calyx)

ITT: People who didn’t read the article and realize this is a vaccine they inject the ticks with and is more about proving how the disease works in the ticks gut biome than any human trials. We’ve had human vaccines for many years, but they were pulled from the market. Yet dogs can get a vaccine today.

• Home Assistant
• Minecraft ( gotta go with something like PaperMC server but even core server will run if you setup a drive on USB
• PiHole (but as I commented elsewhere, it’s overkill and you can use Pi Zero’s for this easily).
• OctoPi (3d Printing)

For Pihole it’s probably overkill. I run mine on Pi Zeros.

My take was that most people 1) don’t want Meta/Facebook spam - low effort memes, propaganda, etc. and 2) don’t want their content to be used by Meta. The former seems pretty easy - just defederate and you don’t see any of their crap. The second is sort of a gray area… Whether or not you are diametrically opposed to Meta/Facebook or not, once you post your content to a public site, it’s available. I haven’t been here long, but defederation seems to work both ways, so FB would have to scrape content from known instances to get that content unless I’m mistaken.

FB could smoke any instance by DDOSing scrapes whether intended or otherwise, but once you post your data on a public forum, Meta could theoretically use it.

But to your comment - I don’t see what starting a new instance would do for anyone for #2. Any new instance is discoverable by nature, so FB can come knocking at any time for content whether you defederate or not.
