The government can meter stuff at market rates too. Though, there also seems to be a lot of spite here, which the market may not be able to solve. Seems like the folks buying bulk water were paying FAR more, to the point that they were usin

In the words of the immortal Lebowski, they're more off-grid than you, Dude.

Oh, absolutely. My “spinning rust” is a nas that’s backed up to S3 every night. But, I totally get not wanting to keep some server running.

You should set up a local machine for Immich. I’ve got it running locally, with the photos on spinning rust and thumbs and db on NVME. It’s mind blowing how fast it is. Scroll to three years ago, lift the mouse button, and every thumb loads

2/3 of your complaints seem to be down to Apple's insistence that filesystems are silly and should be hidden from users. Unless it's iCloud, then show the user 2 identical filesystems and scatter everything at random between

If you’re gonna install everything as a flatpak, run Debian stable.

I did as well, but went back to NextDNS after a bunch of stuff broke for me on ControlD. Plus, I really like being able to control log retention and they have a server closer to me.

That’s really cool. I thought you guys had stopped development altogether.

I don’t. But for the few years I did, no manual intervention came even close to changing the entire init system.

That is crazy to me that the country with a national identity built around trains also has a powerful car lobby. You really can’t escape it.

That 61 cents doesn’t even come close to covering road maintenance, let alone pollution and every other negative externality of personal car use.

I don't think the idea is to put it on the global internet; just make it broadcast a wifi SSID.

For sure. But I find other people's opinions interesting.

> why flakes are nonsense Oh wow, I want to hear more about that. I love flakes, but I've known they are controversial, and never really heard why.

Oh, odd. I have one of the first Awair devices and its local API is still going strong. Maybe because I haven’t accessed it through their app in about 5 years? They must have lost track of it. I’ll block its internet access entirely to make

Pick something you like, then look up its Home Assistant integration. If it says "Its IoT class is Local Push.", then you're all good. Lutron Caseta is my gold standard. After that, ZWave or Zigbee. EDIT: From what I can tell

Very true. I guess, in this case, we'd all like to see it divert from a perfectly free market. We manage capitalism in a million other places; it wouldn't be totally out of line. And it wouldn't be like rent control in NYC, o

Do you mind elaborating a bit on what went wrong? Like, were you installing on a recent MacBook, or something else not well supported? In my experience, installing and running a popular distro is absolute cake. Easier than Windows, even, si

If kids pay 5-10 bucks every once in a while to support their entertainment and pay engineering salaries… is that the worst thing in the world? I’d rather my kids play Roblox than scroll Instagram. One of those is “free”.

You know what, your comment actually reminds me that this happened when I also had a bug in my configuration that was causing me to not actually use swap. I assume running out of tmpfs uses swap like anything else? I might give tmpfs anothe

I did this for a while, but writing files to ram can be dangerous, since most things assume unlimited disk space. I noticed that updates would fail on machines that had 16 gigs of ram unless I logged out of my window manager and did it from

Man, would I ever love to buy one of these. But last I checked, even if you import to the USA, you won't have most of the bands you need. :(

I buy old laptops and corporate desktops off eBay (and FreeGeek) constantly. I really hope people sell them instead of recycling them. They're not worthless, especially to people like me with zero interest in Windows.
