For those of you who use Raspberry Pi’s in your home environment, I’m curious as to what you use them for. What applications are you running on them? Do you have your Pi’s setup in a cluster?
I want to like OSM, but like you say, its weakness is search. I have to get the search just right, and make sure I enter the postcode as XXN NXX. And maybe then it might give me the right result.
However, in GM, I can mash the postcode together as XXNXX and it understands. Or if a mall has changed its name and I didn’t know, GM gives me what I want, not what I said.
I see some very good deals on RackNerd through LowEndbox. Is the company reliable? I.e. I’m hoping there’s not going to be a situation like NexusBytes. Could someone confirm?
I’ve put a bit of timber on but this is getting ridiculous. The only ones I’ve found that don’t shrink in the wash are graphic tees from Qwertee and the like....
I’ve bought packs of 3 Fruit of the Loom off Amazon UK - 3 different colours, 3 different marketplace vendors.
One set is perfect - heavy soft cotton, tidy seams. One set is a little coarse. One set is like sandpaper cotton, with jabby scratchy seams around the neck.
Good price, but I suspect that none of them are genuine FOTL.
I got a cheap netbook style laptop for traveling some weeks ago (HP Stream 11" with 4 GB of RAM and a N4120). Didn’t expect much more from this hardware than opening a few browser tabs and doing some retro gaming via Steam....
Thanks to your post and plenty of config tutorials, I’ve got this set up on my Oracle Free Tier VPS running Ubuntu. It has recently been struggling hard with 1GB ram, requiring reboot. The difference with zram enabled… WOW.
I haven’t been able to get zram working on my Ubuntu VPS with another provider though - search results suggest that some providers don’t allow swap.
On Raspberry Pi, a larger SD card helps spread out those writes. Alternatively, get a high endurance SD card which is made to handle more writes. Log2ram helps further by journaling logs in RAM then dumps them to your SD card once a day (or at configured interval)
Personally, I just boot my Pi from an SSD in a USB3 enclosure, with log2ram running - best of both worlds.
After thinking about it for a long time I came to the conclusion that I’m OK with ads. They are not so annoying to me and as long as they are not popping out or really interfering forcefully I fine with them being there. As far as I can see ads are the de-facto fuel for a broad part of the content-creation monetization system...
In Firefox, install the uBlock Origin extension. Go into ublock settings, disable ad blocking filterlists, enable tracking filterlists. Personally, I’m blocking ads too as they’re sometimes abused as malware vectors.
Or if you only want ads that aren’t interfering, there’s Adblock Plus with its acceptable ads programme. Can’t vouch for whether that’s a good or bad thing.
I just installed Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS (Cinnamon) on an empty laptop a couple days ago and have been experimenting a lot. I’m coming from being a Windows user since I was just a little kid playing old DOS games on my grandpa’s Win-98 PC back in around 2000. My daily driver is currently running Windows 10 but I am pretty adamant...
I want to take back ‘Retard’. Because I want it to apply to things that are infuriatingly stupid, instead of it being used as a derogatory term towards special needs people.
I’d redefine “woke” as “I’m going to blame this all on you, but really it’s me. Your issue doesn’t affect me directly, but I don’t like it and I can’t explain why, I can’t even explain it to myself. But I don’t want to discuss it or understand you. I just want to shut down this conversation because it might expose my lack of thinking past my own nose and empathy, because ughhhhh empathy.”
Get a local SIM or eSIM when you arrive. If you’re dealing with insurance, you might want to be able to receive calls too. Regarding privacy: good luck.
Because the family premium tier gets you and designated family ad free YouTube when using Chromecast, and YouTube Music. Worth it for me. We’re all cheapskates here, just some of us are less cheap!

Should I use chromium based browsers or firefox?
Chromium has better features, but with google announcing its plan to ‘drm the internet’ I 'm not sure if it’d be a good idea.
