Ready to be killed, I guess

When you post from standard Lemmy interface and add a picture, it adds it as a link that may overwrite the URL you have entered. Annoying, but it is what it is.

Add a picture first, and then replace the URL with what you link to.

Men use AI partners more often than women, as per the article’s content

Content: 31% of young men and 23% of young women chat with AI partners

Most people don’t care as long as it’s not 100 GiB

The ease of installation, management, and removal is a higher priority for most. Hence, Flatpak is superior for an average Joe.

Doesn’t hurt to use native options if you like them.

No worries, answer anytime :)

Since LXC works on top of the Linux kernel, anything that works with it can be easily used as an image. For example, you can just throw any distribution .iso into it, and it will handle it as a container image. Proxmox does all the interim magic.

Say, you want to make a container with programs running on Debian. You take the regular Debian .iso, the one you use to install Debian on bare metal or VM, feed it to Proxmox and tell it to make an LXC container out of it. You specify various parameters (for example, RAM quotas) and boom, you got a Debian LXC container.

Then you operate this container as a regular Debian installation: you can SSH/VNC into it and go from there. After you’ve done setting everything up, you can just use it, or export it and use somewhere else as well.

Quickly checking eBay, they now cost around $120-150 for SATA and around $100-130 for SAS in the US

In my country I got used 10tb for $150. Don’t know situation in your place.

Not quite a serious city building game, but Islanders is about building the most efficient city, and it’s made in a cutesy solarpunk aesthetic.

Works perfectly smooth on Linux.

Backups and High Availability come to mind.

If there’s any other place you’d be allowed to install a second node on, ideally served by another ISP (since we talk about remote access), you can do that. This can be your friends, or family, or someone else you trust.

Just have 2 NAS devices with equal drives in each and let them work in a high availability cluster. This way, you’ll have near 100% uptime and a backup in case something goes wrong.

Sure, that is more expensive, but it gives some peace of mind while keeping control of your data. Additionally, with this configuration you don’t necessarily have to build a RAID array if money is a problem, so some costs can be shaved off (Though it never hurts to still have it if you can afford it)

Made me buy a used 10tb drive recently.

Screw them all, I will have a place for my data and I won’t pay them a dollar for these shenanigans.

Su often takes more time and is more involved, even if it’s a difference between very little effort and no effort at all.

For example, I update and install apps through CLI about once a week, and I’d rather just bang the sudo <update command> than go su, enter root credentials, and only then go for what I wanted in the first place.

So for all that time one could do THIS?

That’s one of my gripes with Arch, too. It takes too much manual interaction on an everyday basis, it’s not a “set it and forget it” kind of system.

To some, sometimes lesser, extent it also translates to its derivatives, be it Endeavour, Garuda, Manjaro or whatever strikes one’s fancy.

There are normally only a few points at which traffic enters the country. Shutting them down will effectively cut you from most of the Internet, and the rest that remains will be fully in the jurisdiction that oppresses you.

I worry you might not have a representative audience here, as most of Lemmy is privacy-savvy. I guess most people just don’t care, and if it keeps this way, it will be no different than smartphones (which are primarily spy devices most people carry around all the time and no one notices anymore).

Fair enough. Honestly, fear is the main barrier

If you can open a YouTube video, open a terminal and not scream in horror, you fill all the prerequisites.

These odd freezes, especially when moving files at scale, is something I struggled with on all Arch-based distros I had installed: Arch itself, EndeavourOS, Manjaro.

Either Arch doesn’t like my hardware in some way, or it’s just something Arch users struggle with.

Any other distros worked just fine in that regard.

Arch can be configured without archinstall in 20 minutes by a YouTube video even if you’re a grandma with 0 technical skills.

Let’s all stop pretending that having it manually installed means anything and just use whatever does it for us. Like, well, Endeavour.

To me, it’s more like the Netherlands giving out free syringes and needles so that drug consumers at least wouldn’t contract something from the used ones.

To be clear: granting any and all pedophiles access to therapy would be of tremendous help. I think it must be done. But there are two issues remaining:

1. Barely any government will scrape enough money to fund such programs now that therapy is astronomically expensive
2. Even then, plenty of pedophiles will keep consuming CSAM, legally or not. There must be some incentives for them to choose the AI-generated option that is at least less harmful than the alternative.
