It makes it look like a shitpost at a glance lol

I desperately need a competitor to come in. They’re trying to raise my bill 50% right now and there’s not a single other broadband service at my address.

Desktop and Surface Laptop Studio: KDE Neon, because I like when my desktop is pretty and hate when it works sometimes Homelab server: NixOS, because when it dies (for the third time) I have no plans to dispense any time setting it back up.

That’s fair enough. I can’t say I’ve used Mint very much, I’ve just known it as something to suggest to newbies. My brother revived his 2009 Macbook Pro with it, but it’s so old he mostly uses it for character sheets during Pathfinder night.

I love nixos for my homelab! Out of curiosity, why C tier for KDE Neon? (My desktop and laptop both daily drive them, and I’ve loved it since abandoning Ubuntu post-Unity)

Elon putting up a big stink about the lyric tweak “MAGA agenda” followed by them doing “Elon agenda” will never not be funny

I’ve been homelabbing for a couple years now, and it’s still just a desktop PC with a 450W PSU, it even has a Jellyfin server with some light transcoding. I’d highly recommend trying out a server you don’t mind breaking and play around, you’d be surprised what you can do!

It doesn’t even render the hexagons in Waterfox lmao

All this tells you is that ICE indeed does not care.

A REAL ID is also valid proof of citizenship. ICE clearly does not care.

I just finished fixing my storage setup and was ready to add more… 😭

LOL I found the github page before the website when I discovered it. So many folks mention Handbrake, but after canceling my Adobe subscription, using this was the first time I wasn’t missing Adobe Media Encoder.

I feel like it’s a nice intermediate step when learning the commands. man is great when you already know you have the right tool and you just need to check a flag. A newbie who just left Windows is gonna be so overwhelmed by a lot of manpages, but this does a nice job of easing them in using examples to give the user an idea of what that tool is capable of.

I like using Podman Desktop to keep an eye on containers and glance at logs, but more often than not I’m doing most operations on the CLI.

ffmpeg is great, and doing simple things is pretty straightforward, but if you work with a lot of media and do different kinds of operations, give Shutter Encoder a shot, it’s an amazing FOSS GUI tool for ffmpeg, yt-dlp, and more!

A couple years ago when I was preparing for a possible future exodus from Discord, I tried to self-host a Revolt instance, but I found that it was lacking in some important features, and there was some internal drama going on about licensing. I don’t know the specifics, but it felt messy at the time and I ended up just hosting a Matrix instance instead. I haven’t seen what it’s like these days.

Not anymore I’m afraid. IT at Ford is abysmal, a lot of times you can’t reach anyone, and other times you have like 5 people reach out about a resolved and closed issue over a week.

People often lie about restarting, and IT is pretty aware of that. In my experience, I’ve gotten a lot of love in situations where IT is onboarding hardware for me and having issues, and I say “hold on, let me try restarting real quick”.
