What does he mean there is only one "Bluesky server" ? You can already run your own Personal data server (for your data), Relay (to aggregate all feeds), AppView (that holds a view of the data), or client (that talks to the AppVie

I don't see how you are giving up any control. Look at how to make a custom ublue distro. It's basically just a docker build that results in an image. But you can do anything you want before that image is finalized.

A box of index cards with alphabetical tabs is a step up. That way you can update entries without making the book a mess. But it's a small step.

Rollbacks on image based distros like Fedora Silverblue are as easy as selecting the old version on boot. Literally hitting down and enter. Besides that, you never wait for updates to install.

Deep sleep doesn't work with Windows or Mac, and isn't needed on Linux either. My past two laptops, ASUS and Lenovo, lasted days with modern standby. Not as great as Apple but good enough.

I've been on a team where most comments I added where deleted because they believed it was best practice to avoid them getting out of sync with the code. So even your comment disagrees with your claim that "best practices" ar

Dark energy is literally this - it just means something is different than predicted by current leading theories. There is plenty of evidence that either dark matter or an alternative is needed and CDM is just the most popular take.

Well you have to convince somebody to pay researchers for their time, which ultimately means selling your idea to non-experts.

I switched a couple years ago from X1 after I spent months without a working mic and had to get my screen replaced twice and it still didn't work. I went with the ASUS Zenbook. It's not perfect in terms of Linux drivers or support

What about the billing dashboard? You can break it down by service and say CPU or memory, or tags if you use them. That has always given me good enough insight into where my client's money is being spent. I'm not sure it's to

It's not scary, it's part of the value proposition. I used to work for a company that rented lots of hetzner boxes. Consumer grade hardware with frequent disk failures was just what we excepted for saving a buck.

The site doesn't need to follow the laws of every country on earth. If they had paid advertisers from EU it would be different.

By on-demand I mean per file or folder. So a virtual filesytem that downloads as needed.

FolderSync with which protocol? The main reason I use Syncthing is not to use Dropbox for sensitive stuff, which I also use since it's on-demand mobile sync is way better.

I'm not trying to solve the issue, just warning people pocketbook is not that good. The manual on my device also mentions the cloud, but it is just wrong. I think they have regional partners with ebook stores that customize it. Though

It definitely does not support Pocketbook Cloud; it just isn't an option. I have a pocketbook account and can use it for the app on phones. Maybe it's a regional thing.

In my experience using it for story telling, no. Even their largest model likes to produce garbage which isn't even words when you turn the temperature up a bit. And without that it's really bland.

I bought a Pocketbook Verse Pro last year and it's okay, but has some issues. There is no PB Cloud support but it uses Dropbox, however that means no syncing progress like with kindle. It takes a few seconds to start since it's An

Rim doesn't mean they aren't hydraulic. I have hydraulic rim brakes and agree they give you much more power than cabled ones.

"Don't do that" can refer to the past, though it's unnatural to use a past tense verb. But it can be explicit in Dutch: Reed dan ook niet zo hard. (drove then also not so fast)

This kind of system is ideal for developers since you can have independent environments for different use cases, even with different distros. And when you upgrade your base system, they aren't affected. When you have lots of things to

Now we have something better, IPP everywhere. The protocol isn't as simple as netcating a postscript, but is simple enough, standardized and does everything expected for printing.

The file syncing is not very good either. It's based off WebDAV and very slow. If you only have a few files it's workable, but it isn't competitive with Dropbox, SyncThing or any of the popular alternatives.
