I’m curious if you’ve tried TrueNAS (was previously called FreeNAS). It offers a pretty streamlined GUI for the common stuff and is free and open source.

I’ve found TrueNAS (previously FreeNAS) to be quite good and I’m surprised to see no mention of it in the article or this comment section. I’ve had a pretty good experience running a basic NAS server for my family. It runs Plex well in a BS

Was in high school in the 2010s and I had to buy a TI-84. They have a version with more storage and a color display but it’s still that same calculator all these years later.

Have you tried Nvidia’s GeForce Now? I would be curious to hear your opinion of it compared to the other similar services you’ve tried. I’ve heard the most good things about nvidias offering in this space.

Isn’t that precisely a use case for sand boxing? If I know zoom doesn’t need file system, I can deny it access and guarantee it doesn’t use the file system without me knowing about it.

I had an older X1 yoga that ran Arch great. I now have a newer X1 yoga and got lazy and just threw Ubuntu on it. Since 20.04 everything including fingerprint reader is working great.

This is true, retail Thinkpads are targeted at businesses so they’re priced fairly high. I’m sure many companies negotiate lower rates. Most of the reason you see these laptops so widely recommended is the secondhand market. Once those bus

I’m curious to hear what about creating a multi-page application you found to be limited by react. react-router solves this problem quite well. Personally I’ve had a lot of fun using create-react-app to quickly get rolling on side projects

This is spot on. Every now and then only one of my AirPods will connect and then it’s just putting them back in the case over and over until they start working again.

VSCodium is good for this and has packages on many popular distributions.

The fact that you can’t specify a default music app on iOS also bothers me quite a bit. On Android, assistant knew what app to use so I could just ask it to play something and not have to specify “on Spotify “. Of course this problem extend

Huge fan of last.fm. I haven’t been using their discovery features (though I may start now that you’ve mentioned it), but I absolutely love all the listening statistics they offer. I find it super interesting to see how my listening habits

I have an extremely similar setup as you, however I will note that the quality of android TV apps seems to be rather lacking. Specifically Spotify will randomly disconnect from my phone and stop and Prime Video cannot play UHD video properl

As others have stated, prettier is a formatted not a linter. I do however agree that Standard is a weird choice and in my experience is far from an actual “standard”. IMO the Airbnb style is excellent and would have been a better choice her

Does your microphone work? I generally love Thinkpads and have continued to buy them but even running Ubuntu 20.04 I still cannot use my fingerprint reader or microphone on my X1 Yoga and the pen doesn’t show up in Wacom settings at all so

Perhaps this is just my own inexperience showing but I haven’t ever had an issue using venv (which is included in python3 now) and a requirements.txt file.

I generally agree though I will say that platform exclusive music still exists. I’ve seen this primarily with hip hop, especially when Tidal was trying to break into the streaming scene. Apple Music also occasionally has platform exclusives

This is the easiest and most widely available solution imo. I use ProtonMail which allows for plus addressing. Gmail also offers this feature if I recall correctly.

If the supplies required for Tesla workers to safely perform their jobs aren’t available, maybe they shouldn’t be reopening their factories. All this reopening is at the expense of the employees being prematurely forced to resume work. From

Plex with something like Sonarr set up is a bit of a hassle to configure but generally works pretty well for this in my experience. I agree though, it used to be great when you could pay $10 a month for Netflix and it actually had most cont

I completely agree. It's incredible to me how many people in this and similar threads argue that we should just give up on isolation and allow many more millions to die. This pandemic is the perfect argument for UBI and universal healt

I've had good success with Thinkpads. Many people mistake the carbon fiber for cheap plastic which it definitely is not. They handle Linux very well and have great durability. I've currently got an X1 yoga 4th gen since they'

I'm also curious about this. I frequently find myself wishing for a Reddit alternative but haven't been able to find something worth switching to.

Not the person you asked but protonmail has worked well for me and seems to be widely recommend. There's some small Gmail features I miss like individually addressable Android notifications but I don't regret the switch.

Most people, myself included, were skeptical when Microsoft bought GitHub and assumed it would change for the worse. In this case I'm happy to have been proven wrong and I've seen nothing but improvements to GitHub following it&#x

It seems a bit absurd that this is still a reason to say 'fuck ubuntu' when they listened to user feedback and reversed that feature. I can't think of any other similar missteps in recent years.
