I have an account there that I use as a junk email account and their android calendar app. Nothing else. I used to use davx5 and caldav via my primary email provider but I had issues with it losing notification settings on recurring events. I may go look for a different calendar solution. I’ll probably still use it for junk mail.
I use the following services, and have for a couple years now I think.
Mailfence for email Mullvad for VPN
I feel like the cost would come from the quantity of cybernetics and time to install them. So I imagine if the dog was about 14% the size of the Six Million Dollar man it’d work out to be about the same.
Probably this is all very reactionary, NVIDIA’s stock will recover and they’ll remain a big player in the LLM space.
But I’m uninterested in LLM’s and would love to see price drops on GPU’s, so i hope there is a longer term moderate market loss for them in this space.
I live between the tech conservative and tech paranoid with a splash of distro hopping.
I skipped the iPod as well. Had a Creative Zen Touch, which I thought was a great device. Same kind of deal, it showed up as a removable drive or MTP device or something like that. Can’t remember for sure.
I was curious if you could actually buy this which sent me down a small rabbit hole.
Turns out it was, according to checkyourfact.com, a quote falsely attributed to Joe Biden. Looks like that was a few years ago. I hadn’t seen it back then. https://checkyourfact.com/2021/02/10/fact-check-joe-biden-buy-man-fish-teach-fish-man-lifetime/
To the original thing I was looking at of can you buy it, yes you can. https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/51262581-buy-a-man-eat-fish-he-day-teach-fish-man-to-a-life But now having context, it’s a political shirt.
Edit: pasted wrong url for shirt and a couple grammatical errors.
I thought Apple was cool back in the system 6/7 days. I don’t know if it actually was. I was a kid back then and just got to use it a little in school. I didn’t daily drive it. But I did like it based off the usage I got.
When they switched to a BSD* derivative, it became less the the thing I remembered liking and my interest waned. Then they switched to x86 and it became something I felt was completely disassociated with what I considered to be a Mac. And while I could see those were smart choices on their part, I no longer cared for what they were offering.
And now I hate the company for the sorts of things the meme touches on. Not that consumer hostile practices are anything new for them, just more opinionated about it now.
That was rantier than I’d anticipated when I started, but already made it this far.
This answer is completely untested and something I came up with while poking through my phone’s options. But it should work as long as the app in question uses your phone’s DNS settings.
My Samsung phone has a private DNS setting. Settings > Connections > More Connection Settings > Private DNS. This doesn’t seem to be bound to a specific connection on my device so I assume this value is used for any. I don’t know if this is available on all modernish android devices or iOS.
One can set up a dns-over-https server such as https://github.com/m13253/dns-over-https/ and configure it to use a DNS server which is sinkholing those domains. Which it sounds like you already have setup.
You’d have to have that public facing with a reverse proxy and a valid cert so they could reach it while on mobile data, so I don’t know that the juice is worth the squeeze.
+1 for installing Arch. If you have enough knowledge of Linux to understand what Arch is and why it is, comparatively, a more involved installation. Then you’re probably ready to install it. As was mentioned in another content, long as you know the basics, it’s not as hard as you might think. Also as suggested in another comment installing in a VM or spare hardware is good practice.
As for learning, take the time to understand the commands you’re copy/pasting. Read the man page, see what the flags you’re pasting in to. That might sound daunting at first, and you might not always be able to completely wrap you’re head around it. But you’ll learn more and more over time.
Relevant Wi-Fi retro modem PCB to put in one of these I remember seeing on Tindie. Pricey I think, but neat! https://www.tindie.com/products/retromodem/wifi-retromodem-for-hayes-smartmodem/
Assuming it becomes a viable product, I wonder how it’ll impact veganism? Since there’s no animal cruelty.
You state your reasoning for the upgrade is high TDP and noise. Wouldn’t these problems are solvable with just upgrading your CPU cooler and switching to quieter fans? Of course if you just want a new PC and are factoring those shortcomings from your current build in to your decision making well then disregard and carry on 😊.
I don’t want to comment on the build itself because I don’t really have my finger on the pulse of new hardware so my advice probably isn’t any good.
+1 here for no LED’s and windowed cases!
This is well put. I think you’ll find people largely very welcoming but I think you’ll struggle to find an audience initially. That being said, I hope you try and I hope you’re successful!
Matrix has a WhatsApp bridge and an SMS bridge. Perhaps it’s possible to combine these for a WhatsApp <> SMS bridge? I don’t know if these bridges can work in this way. I’m just aware of their existence. Even if it does work, I imagine it’d be pretty suboptimal. But it’s potentially an option.
I’d love to see something like this in a tower format, and with regular 5.25" bays with faceplates rather than these faux floppy drives.
I’d pay a somewhat unreasonable amount for that.
That would suck if so since I obviously utilize it heavily but this doesn’t seem to be the case? Latest release was just a month ago and their github repo is active.
Jellyfin/Plex like many have mentioned.
I personally like Syncthing for petty much everything else. For general file syncing of course. But also with Joplin pointed to a synced directory for notes. With keepass as a password vault. With synced config directories for some apps across devices like newsboat for RSS, and neomutt for email. I also used to use it with rtorrent via a watch directory, though I currently am using a seedbox for that purpose.
VPN (openvpn/wireguard) is a good idea if you want to access your services outside your local network, without exposing them all globally.
