   I always had terrible trouble keeping it (and before it, Owncloud) updated and in sync with available dependencies on my Debian host. A few years ago, when I built a new NAS, I installed a snap, and that's been the ticket. It's pr

   I'm running a PiKVM DIY on a pi02w. Adequate, but I'd like more functionality and performance. I bought a SiPeed NanoKVM. It caught fire 15 minutes after being plugged in. Despite providing pictures of the charred PCB, they insist

   I bought a farm and ran away from tech. Euphoria! For a bit. Honeymoon period's well and fucking over. I did not enjoy chopping that cord of firewood, but I didn't hate it, either. I miss making impulsive, frivolous 4-figure purch

   My Pixel 8a also blocks screenshots of DRM content. The analog hole remains gaping: pause the movie on your MacBook, and take a picture of the screen with your iPhone.

   Confirmed: Gen1 LCD smelled about the same as the gen2 LCD units, but the OLED version doesn't smell as strong/good. I still huff it. I'm also over 40.

   If only they could automatically label all the videos made by real people with obviously heavily AI-involved scripts. Those "give me the ick" as the kiddos say these days.

    We don't need to provide one man with every computer made before 1975. The rest of us would also like to have a chance to play with them.

    I got an Indigo² when I was 16, so 1998, and it was my desktop through college. In 2009 I bought an O2, absolutely maxed it out (including the 600MHz RM7000 mod), and ran it next to my main work computer at the office until I left that comp

    I don't know if the author just writes like this, or if the text was put through ChatGPT, but it sets off my slop alarm: " Running a PSP the way Sony intended, but with a modern jailbreak in place, feels like the best of both worl

    I have one of those Morphius Chromebooks (ThinkPad Yoga C13, 16GB RAM + real SSD) and it's unusably slow in ChromeOS. I flashed the coreboot package and installed openSUSE, and now it's my primary machine and absolutely usable w

    An interesting point. So over the next ~60 years, the UK has committed itself to having to find a replacement for all the tax revenue that will be lost by eliminating tobacco products. Additionally, the number of people with longer lifespan

    Prohibition doesn't work because people want to modulate their consciousness, chemically force-relax, reduce inhibitions, etc. It didn't work before, and it won't in the future. The more things are forbidden, the more taboo a

    You're paying for significant ground-up R&D and manufacturing costs that only marginally benefit from any economies of scale. (It's also an incredibly fucking robust machine!) This is not a MacBook Neo competitor. I think if i

    All of the arguments in this thread seem to be treating this research's outcome as deleting a person, and applying a corresponding moral judgement thereto. But it is not! I personally find that choosing to not have a child with Down Sy
