7·7 days agoHow do you explain this tradeoff to users in a way that feels honest and understandable, without sounding like you are making excuses for Electron?
To people who dislike Electron due to its size, I don’t think you can. To someone with that mindset, saying “we are seeing something like 50–60 MB for the actual usage” itself sounds disingenuous.
However most people don’t seem to care that much about the size of Electron. Most people I know expect a modern system to have enough ram for it to not matter.
what does this have to do with selfhosting?
131·10 days agoThis is AI slop. Notice how repetitive yet low on information this site is? This exact template is what Gemini uses for making a web site.
Also, if you are using an older SSD, eMMC, or SD Card, you should use F2FS.
Hell yeah! I’m typing this on a 2013 i7 Macbook air running LMDE 13 and it runs like a dream.
331·20 days agoI think most people are way more influenced by nudges than they would believe or expect, as anyone who is successful in sales well knows.
More like proton makes windows binaries not dependent on windows.
LTT is not sincere.
It’s the Pro Wrestling of tech. It’s Tech Entertainment. The focus is drama instead of technical accuracy or knowledge sharing. He “lost the match” because he never intended to win.

In 10+ years of using stock android phones I have not had that experience at all.
What did you like most about it?
If you are concerned about the new California law it is important to point out that the California law only applies to Operating Systems vendors and providers. It does not apply to end users.
For example, if you obtain a copy of a Canadian linux distro and install and use it on your computer in California, you aren’t breaking any law.
To be clear, I’m not trying to discourage you from posting about your project and I think you should always pursue such personal challenges.
I also think it helps others better contextualize your project if you include a bit in your post about your motivation (like in your reply).
To me, it’s also very nice to mention alternatives you are aware of and how your project compares to them. “It’s doesn’t do as much as Handbrake but it’s simpler” is a selling point for some people.
What makes this better than Handbrake?
People are lazy
Yeah, that tracks. It sounds like Type 1 Laziness: people who don’t want to do anything.
I sense you make this because you are Type 2 Lazy: Happy to learn and make 100 new things to avoid having to do a boring thing more than once. That’s something I can both appreciate and relate to.
Sorry if this is a silly question, but what is the use case for this?
Other than Friendica, Mastodon, Matrix, PeerTube and PieFed, what’s worth running on a Docker instance with 8 VCPUs, 16GB of RAM and around 300GB of storage?
I usually do it the other way around. I figure out what I want to run and at what scale and then I get the server.
You can certainly do all that learning with or without directly connecting the fiber to your firewall pc. For a mini pc you will likely need to get a USB to SFP adapter. If you want to go that route I suggest searching for compatible hardware recommendations and get a USB to SFP that has worked well for others.
Personally I would stick with the ISP modem. In any case, happy learning!
This is working fine with no issues.
It seems like a lot of time and effort with no upside except having one device in the place of two. Is there more you are hoping to accomplish with this proposed change?
As far as I know you can change the audio output per app but not per monitor.
I run Armbian on a Pinebook Pro. Its not fast but it runs well.
