On my phone I just use my calculator, it's when I'm at my PC

Currently I just open the calculator, but that's annoying and then another app that's open, where I'm usually already in a web browser.

And for currency conversion I don't have a app on my PC, nor do I want to install one if the browser can just do it

Thankfully I'm not using iOS, trying to move away from big tech not just deGoogle

I could argue that WiFi uses more power than LAN cables, so you're paying to use WiFi

The important thing is if it's worth the price, paying 5$ extra per month in power might be worth it for a LOT of people

The UI / UX isn't great, go to settings and accounts (right at the bottom) and then log in there.

It's important now that we don't all move to lemmy.world we want many smaller instances, not one really big one.

PS. Checkout PieFed, it's much more feature rich compared to lemmy, and has better mod tools.

Consider moving them to PieFed.

It's more feature rich, especially when it comes to mod tools.

Consider moving them to PieFed

It has powerful mod features that Lemmy does not

Now is a good time to check out PieFed.

It also has much better mod tools, so it will make life easier for mods

Efficiency and outright performance isn't always a priority.

A lan cable outperforms a wireless Internet connection in every way, yet most people just use WiFi

Diamonds are just Carbon atoms in Chrystal form.

You can take carbon from say coal, turn it into a Chrystal and you've got a diamond.

Gold is just gold atoms, you can't make gold atoms

You can buy leaked passwords from the dark web if you know someone's email.

So if someone got say 5 passwords from this person and look at them they'd very quickly be able to figure out the pattern and would know all their passwords.

The method they use is safe from scripts etc. But not foolproof

 
 

I'm new to this, and having a lot of fun.

I started with the Blackview MP80 running Ubuntu(Minecraft server on docker and Home Assistant in a VM)

Then I bought the BMAX for 82€ and moved HA on to it so I can wipe the MP80 and play around with Proxmox and Nextcloud erc without breaking my home automations.

Yesterday I got the Hardkernel H4+ with 16gb ram and 2x 6TB 2nd hand commercial grade HDD's (testing them now, 3 month guarantee)

Looking forward to setting up ZFS pools for the first time, ans probably move my Nextcloud AIO over to the TrueNAS app

 

If the US decides to block Microsoft, how screwed are we?

 

Does your government rely on Microsoft etc. to function?

 

I've currently got Nextcloud AIO hosted in Proxmos on a NUC to play around with what works and what doesn't and get a feel for self hosting, and I'm loving it.

Space on the NUC is an issue, 512GB just won't cut it if I move my whole family over.

So I've ordered a ODROID H4+ and will be setting it up as a NAS with 2x 6TB HDD's in a ZFS mirror (it arrives next week) and then I'll move everything over to it.

Is it possible for me to use the 1TB SSD to save all data excluding Media (Photo's and Videos) and use the HDD's for the rest as they take up lots of space.

I'd also like to then use Immich to scan the Media on the HDD's to use it as a viewer (And sync phone media etc. through nextcloud because I find it to be more stable, and then everything will still work even if Immich is down)

What are your thoughts? Is this a good idea? Is it over complicated? How would you set it up?

Lemmy vs PieFed (piefed.social)

I've been on Lemmy for ~3 Months and it's nice but picking a instance, figuring out which web UI works for me, figuring out which Mobile App works for met etc. was a lot, and most people would have given up.

I've been using PieFed for the last few days, and wow I like it so much more, it solved so many of the UX issues that Lemmy has.

These features make a BIG impact, most of the common things people on Reddit complain about when you promote Lemmy isn't a issue on PieFed.

My favourite feature is de-duplication, on PieFed if I view eg. this post https://piefed.social/post/749818#comment_6102866

It combines/aggregates it with cross-posts/reposts de-duplication example image
So I can see it in one place, and see all the comments in one place.

Have you tried out PieFed? What are your thoughts?
