  • Looking to build a K8s cluster, what are your strategies for finding affordable hardware?

    Jump

  • i have no idea.

    i personally bin (recycle bin, that is) any drive (ssd or hdd) that has any abnormality in its internal diagnostics data, or won't pass short and long diagnostics tests even if their stats are clean.

  • Kiro, the new distro from the creator of ArcoLinux

    Jump

  • arco was shut down last year because..

    The reasoning behind this move, as shared by Erik, is his advancing age and him realizing that he doesn't have the same level of mental focus or stamina he used to have before. He has found himself making small mistakes, the kind that can negatively affect a major undertaking like this.

    yeaaaaaa.. no thank you.

  • Ok and then what happened?

    Do you remember every single scene and dialogue of a show or movie you just watched?

    Jump

  • it takes watching (or reading) something many times to remember even just a few choice quotes. i dunno how people pull quotes out of thin air from obscure things they've seen or read one time.

  • What do you use for your personal photos/videos backups? Cloud service? Local external drive? Etc

    Jump

  • nothing fancy. manual backup to externals. store at home and the office. checksums are saved on the drives, and re-verified whenever we dig one out to fetch some files or to add more. don't really need more than that for photos and home movies, so no nas or cloud.

  • due south, corner gas, and my niece's (who trains horses) current favorite, heartland (which at 19 years and still running, is literally older than she is)

  • How are you using your laptop (with internet) that still runs Windows10?

    Jump

  • debian trixie was released at just the right time, about two months before win10 went on life support.

  • How are you using your laptop (with internet) that still runs Windows10?

    Jump

  • we still have some win10 here. not too worried given who is using them and for what purposes. we've retired from some of our work so we don't have or access any sensitive data (medical records mostly) anymore.

    if you need it, try to score the extra update time for 'free' (check settings-windows update for the offer). i've done that for a few people and it didn't even mess up their 'backup' status.. but do check to make sure it's off if you do that method. there are other 'methods' but idk if LW lets you discuss them.

    As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new?

    Jump

  • the best ones usually do sneak a little something in for the grown-ups "stuck" watching them.

  • "still watch"? i never stopped.

  • What is self hosting ?

    Jump

  • pretty much anything can serve files.. would probably need to be on a wired lan connection, not slow wifi, and there obviously wouldn't be any real-time transcoding available as there are no hardware encoders on that chip. it does have decoders to playback mpeg2, wmv9 and h264, though. i've used a llano chip for a playback device hooked up to my tv for years--while also running a dietpi in a vm (serves as that tv's internet source and pihole)

  • What is self hosting ?

    Jump

  • your old laptop has a 45 watt a4-3330mx processor. it's slow. very slow. it uses a lot of power for that slowness. use it to learn on, but once you're ready to 'deploy' an always-on service, i would highly recommend something a little newer and more energy efficient. especially if you live in a part of the world with high electricity costs.

    the intel n100 processor in popular minipc draw a max of just 6 watts while also being 6-8x faster than the 3300mx

  • If the next president said screw the norms, and rented or put Camp David up for sale to create a program to increase SNAP benefits could he?

    Jump

  • the defense dept 'owns' camp david.

    all of the bullshit policy and 'executive orders' could be undone in a day (implementation of changes will take time, though). legislation and court decisions will take longer, perhaps much longer, to 'undo'.

    turning the white house into an airbnb wouldn't be allowed for security reasons (among other things).

    policy can be made, and without congressional oversight, over how tax enforcement and evasion investigations go. legislation would be needed, though, to 'give' the proceeds back to the 'middle class' by way of tax credits or somesuch.

  • Is linglong universal package format any good

    Jump

  • not long ago i was installing and testing pretty much everything i could get my hands on, just to see what was 'out there' these days. which did find me putting deepin (via suse) on a system to see if it was worth anything.

    it was not. horribly broken. and that system required a firmware recovery just to function after that.

  • a lot of people made copies of LPs and tapes, or recorded off the radio.. and those often got passed around at school. someone having two VCRs to make copies of movies wasn't nearly as common. we lived in small towns or out in the boonies, so there weren't any 'retailers' selling bootlegs or copies either.

    i do remember downloading a few of those old cam releases back in the stone age of the internets (slow dialup). super low res and quality, often unstable video and/or audience noises. but hey, it was 'good enuf'.

  • FIFA Worldcup Ad in FireFox on Android

    Jump

  • nothing new here. esr from trixie; release and devedition from packages.mozilla.org. just updated and ran all three to see. sponsored and recommended crud was off (it is literally the first things that get changed on new installs) and are still off.

    edit to add: on my android 'tablet' (phone without a sim), which i couldn't check last night.. updated browsers, then: fennec had this world cup ad in it. firefox nightly did not. still trying to get firefox release updated to see (it's only on 148).
