Don’t DM me unless you’re asking about linux or my art please
That’s what I’m finding, there’s some overlap but not enough that I can confidently administer the system yet. I’ve had the FreeBSD Handbook open in links for days 😅.
I’m starting to get the hang of things, there’s a few things I wish there were analogs for on FreeBSD that I’ve used on Linux for modifying swappiness and other minutiae but I suppose eventually I’ll know enough to be the change I wanna see in the world and just write the kernel extension to do it myself.
I’m using FreeBSD as is, I’ve got a 20 year old PC I’m learning on and FreeBSD afict is my best bet on this system.
I’m honestly kicking myself for using arch instead of something without systemd.
I used Arch to learn Linux and ended up just learning systemd really well.
That’s the one!
SO much of the documentation I’ve seen refers to the Bourne shell I just assumed thats what I was using!
I used to use fish but I’m learning Unix right now and am trying to use only defaults so I can learn freebsd the way it exists on a dvd, so right now I’ve been using the Bourne shell
Wearing Google wiretap instead of putting it in your home isn’t much better. Honestly it’s probably worse.
I had a Nexus 5 (also LG) and it was the best I’d had for years. Ran lineageOS on it (maybe it was CyanogenMod still I can’t remember) but that thing was the shit.
I left it on top of my car once and ended up destroying it. Swapped the modem into an EU model (the modem and GPS module survived, all other components failed) and had basically a brand new phone afterwards.
Anything you can do on a smartphone that would require Internet would also require Internet on a laptop no?
I suppose you could download offline installers to a thumb drive at the library or smth
I’m a Linux user and the games I play are usually not supported, so troubleshooting time often exceeds the two hour return window. This is nearly a non-issue these days though.

This was how I used to format my piracy searches. 13 years later I recognize that forcing the search engine to generate direct links to the torrents instead of handing me pages I could get was probably where those viruses came from 😅
I think my grievance is in how “do it for me” I expected the app to be. Setup was simple enough, syncing files seemed to work fine. Sharing files between users I never figured out, and is why I got the application in the first place.
I guess when I hear file transfer, I assume that interuser transfers should be just as easy as system to system transfers.
I think I expected the app to do things it isn’t for, easier than it does. Tbh I can’t exactly remember, as I found it near the beginning of my selfhosting journey and my mind was swimming with new information at the time. It’s possible I’m just a big dummy 😅
Ok so it shouldn’t be on this list then, or should at least have a disclaimer that it isn’t the greatest for user to user file transfers
I’ve used all of these except packet and localsend.
Warpinator: your firewall is closed open it. It’s a fine app, insecure mode is a bit like airdrop for Apple devices, send files to any unsecured warpinator instance on your network.
KDE connect: calling this a file transfer app is like calling a Corvette a radio. Like, yeah it does that but that’s not the point. If ALL you want is file transfer, there are smaller apps. S’good shit though, check it out.
Syncthing: idk maybe I’m dumb but I didn’t get it. Felt like it was for backups, could never access my files on the destination device after transfers despite verification that they are in fact where I put them. Maybe a weird permissions issue?
Android run on top of Linux. Once upon a time it was a Java VM sitting on a Linux kernel, it’s roots are still there though it’s blown up quite a bit since then.
It’s not entirely incorrect to say Linux is somewhere between a bootloader and a bios for Android.
My primary storage use-case is physical media backups. I literally don’t care how long it takes to store, a bluray is 70GB and I’ve got around 200 of em to backup.
Seems fine with a couple TB of SSDs to act as active storage with regular rsyncs back to the HDDs. This is fine.
Cyberpunk literally has an HDD mode, I play it of an HDD every day.
With sufficient ram to load everything in you’ll just have longer load times, no hdd hitchiness
I’m gonna need like 6 of these
Hey bud, no need to attack someone’s intelligence. You can pick apart their argument with sources like a big kid but nobody logged in to see you be a butthead online today.
I have my reasona for using FreeBSD, the system I’m using is ancient, about 20 years old. Its a decommissioned corpo unit, HP/Compaq DC5700S with 2 gigs of RAM and a dog slow Celeron D processor. I’m actually compiling a custom kernel right now to match my hardware because I’m severely limited on RAM and in true UNIX fashion it needs to only be doing what I tell it to, and not a damn thing more.
