PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•50 FREE Steam Games. No catches, no strings.English
1·11 months agoThanks for doing this! I’d like Bridge Constructor Portal if it’s still available.
No, that’s Brita.
Better is the name of a commonly kept freshwater fish that’s very territorial against other members of its species.
It’s a hot time in the old town tonight!
This bean… Is not an ordinary bean!

Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux Sys Admins, do you work on Linux or Windows office laptops?English
12·1 year agoMixed environment, bunch of windows servers and a bunch of Linux servers. I currently run NixOS on my company owned Framework laptop, with the caveat that I have to deal with or work around any weirdness that comes up.
I’ve been wanting for a while now to fix up my config (weird sleep waking issues, broken hibernate, implement full disk encryption) or maybe switch to Fedora. Just haven’t had the time.
Remmina is great for RDP, OnlyOffice preserves Microsoft office formatting well, KDE’s network manager has working VPN connections for Cisco and Palo Alto, and I do a lot from the browser (email, O365 admin,etc).
There is friction, though. As mentioned the sleep issues. Never fun getting to a site and finding a hot, dead laptop in my bag because it decided to wake up and not go back to sleep.
For things that HAVE to be done in Windows I have a VM I haven’t powered on in a months or two, and a “tech” server to rdp to with more network access.
I’d also like to get more familiar with Nix. I can handle system settings and packages from the Nix repositories, but packaging my own software is something I’d like to learn (software and printer drivers for Ubuntu/fedora, etc).
I use Connect on Android primarily.
OCR and especially AI image processing takes a lot of computing power, much much more than filtering plain text.
Fair on the confirmation bias. I guess I should’ve said that I see this post every couple of weeks, even though I have a keyword filter blocking anything with the word “Musk” in the title.
I wasn’t aware that Lemmy had much of a personalized algorithm, beyond a simple upvote/down vote system with older posts falling down the list. Comments might boost it in the Hot sorting maybe? I doubt the content of those comments matters much.
I’ve got a conundrum with this post. Somehow, every time it’s posted (every couple of weeks) it lacks the word “Musk” in the title, which bypasses my keyword filter and it shows up on my feed.
Next time this is reposted could whoever does it put Musk in the title so I don’t have to see it?

Technology@lemmy.world•Own a Roku TV or streaming device? You're about to see a lot more ads on your home screenEnglish
3·2 years agoVery true. Mostly just haven’t had the time. Also want to set up a little home server to play around with Proxmox and move Jellyfin off my main PC.

Technology@lemmy.world•Own a Roku TV or streaming device? You're about to see a lot more ads on your home screenEnglish
12·2 years agoYeah, DNS blocking is quite effective for not just ads, but also telemetry on Roku.
Personally, I use nextdns until I can can a good pihole setup going.

I mean, they pretty clearly did not wear anything or have shame until they sinned. Then they were ashamed of their nakedness and tried to cover themselves with leaves. When God came to them he killed an animal and clothed them with animal skin.
