Hi, I’ve got an old netbook from Samsung that has an old Intel Atom CPU (Intel Atom N455 1.66 GHz). I installed Arch on it and am now thinking of a suitable window manager. I tried Hyprland (kinda expecting it to not work really) whick didn’t start at all. Before I had Debian with Gnome, which technically worked, but...

It is. I used to sync mine via nextcloud, but I don’t run nextcloud on my homelab anymore, so I switched to Joplin server. Nothing wrong with nextcloud, was just not what I needed.
Watched season 1 back when it was first airing, but never got around to season 2. People seem to hate it but I can’t quite tell if that’s because it wasn’t up to the standard of season 1 or if it was just bad TV....
I must be an outlier because I found the conclusion of season one to be a huge letdown. To be sure the build up was great, but that ending was so predictable and disappointing that I haven’t bothered with subsequent seasons.
Not as much of a let down as season eight of GoT, but it still tainted the whole season and show for me.
This is our first Weekly Album Club discussion thread! Last Wednesday I passed out our assignment. REM’s 1992 follow up to their mainstream breakthrough Out of Time, Automatic For The People...
I have not listened to this album in a very long time, I listened to it several times this week and enjoyed it every time.
I was never a deep R.E.M. fan. I came to them with Out of Time, and album that I love to this day, and because that was my first R.E.M. album all others are kind of secondary to it. (I also love the subversive nature of oot)
So, for aftp, Drive is my favorite track. Such mood and atmosphere to this song. It always draws me in and makes me feel melancholy in a good way. It’s like the capstone to the entire mood and atmosphere of the album.
This album as a whole just sucks me back to the 90s, hanging out with my first girlfriend and her friend listening to cds and just being dumb teenagers.
So I’m listening to aftp again right now and every song is a moody, atmospheric banger. It’s kinda hitting me in the feels. I’m an 80s/90s-genX-latchkey-kid, and right now this album is hitting me.
Just had a great suggestion from @harsh3466 - how about we start a “book club” but for alternative albums! Apparently our friends over at HipHopHeads has started one. I think that sounds splendid!...
Looking for a note-taking app, preferably that I could use straight from a browser. I’m currently using Standard Notes. Not sure if that one is any good, but E2EE and open-source which at least checks those boxes. I don’t store anything too sensitive and I don’t need a whole bunch of features, though I suppose I’d use...
I really like using Joplin Server. For awhile I was syncing through nextcloud, but in the end nextcloud didn’t really work for me so I switched my Joplin notes over.
But this picture of an empty desktop was far too long in the making. it took me a week to succesfully install Arch. I could do the process start to finish, blindfolded, at this point....
I love that feeling. I’ve recently been learning about zfs as I add it to my server and make use of it in my setup. In doing so I had to utilize my container and data backups to migrate data from a single drive to my new zfs raidz array. I felt damn accomplished after doing so!
I’ve had one go at Neuromancer and the language definitely made it a more difficult read for me. I want to read it again (I voted for it in the poll), and I think on my second go it’ll be more enjoyable.
Was visiting a wisconsin town this weekend and observed this nightmare-ish bike lane configuration… the road’s speed limit is 25mph, but has a massive 500’ acceleration lane. Gonna guess how many people actually obey the speed limit here?...
This pisses me off as well. All the advertising was/is “VPN! Privacy protected!” As if it’s that simple. All this fud about VPN feels like a combo of blowback from shitty advertising practices. When you combine that with government efforts to take away encryption, VPNs, and other privacy tools; what’s coming is gonna be a bleak panopticon.
Have to use Windows for work (I’ve asked), the ads have been getting worse and worse on my work laptop. Today got a game ad notification… That’s clearly too far, right? Like I have to clear notifications, so I have to see it
Is that real? I’ve seen the Ubuntu pro ad in the terminal, but never anything like this. (Not saying the Ubuntu pro ad is ok. I need to migrate my server)
Posting this Descartes a Kant song led me down a rabbit hole to Polysics, from Japan. Despite being around since 1997, I have never heard of them before…which is such a great thing about music discovery. Posted this track because it’s a cool video and has certain similarities to the DAK video....
I’m looking for suggestions. I have a rack in my office with up to 4U space available. I’m looking to set up a backup and storage solution to try and break free from services such as dropbox & google drive. I’d also love to run a few other things like homeassistant and potentially even Klipper for my 3d printer. I’d also...
Scrapped nextcloud for the same reason. I was able to get it running the way I wanted, but goddam if nextcloud didn’t irrevocably break if you so much as cut a loud fart near the server.
I ran it with the nextcloud docker-compose, and it was flaky af. I know for lots of people it runs great, and I’m glad for that. For me, I had to scrap it.
The tablet and mobile limitations really suck. I edit my photos on my iPad, (and privacy issues aside), I love the iPad for this, and don’t have any plans to abandon it.
I’d consider a pixel with graphene, but not until the phone I have dies/is unusable.
why don't you guys scrobble?

I will start. Lovely by Billie Eilish. I have already played it 34 times and can’t get enough it. I feel like i could hear it all day.
