Yeah no doubt no doubt. I thought it was maybe a typo or something and was supposed to be 4.3, like someone hit 0 on the numpad :D

It makes sense now

Ahhhhh, ok.

Wild… I think I might try to get my OS that big one day just for kicks

Sorry, but 403GB?

That’s a lot of space for an OS, isn’t it?

I kid, but Linux is the third option. I’ve been getting to know it lately and am just about ready to switch my main machine.

You’re on Lemmy and haven’t heard the word of our lord and saviour Linus Torvaldes?

I’ve done it on a 2010 pro and a 2014 pro. Both work quite nicely.

In case you only want to search partial titles to find multiple movies

Ex: Spider-Man .mkv

   Ernest .mkv

Or because show titles will usually have episode titles after them

… I guess it’s not a requirement

Search soulseek with a “ .mkv” at the end (note the space)

You pretty much said what I would’ve said, but probably better :)

I have 3 Macs I want to switch to Linux, so I’m approaching this conversion piece by piece, using my thinkpads as placeholders. Figuring out new cloud software can wait until they’re all switched.

Cool I’ll check this out

A web app for the calendar could be handy… but I could just use another calendar app…

This sounds like a good solution. Can I set it to sync when I’m off my home network?

Ah ok, thanks

I suppose the biggest thing I’m looking for a solution for is photos.

I have my phone to set up to sync to iCloud, which then automatically download to my desktop, which is then automatically backs up via Time Machine.

How could I transition this behaviour to Linux keeping in mind I’ll be using an iPhone for at least another 3 years?

I just installed Mint and some games on 5 Thinkpad T420s my boss was going to throw out. Sunday’s LAN party was pretty fun.

Is this my future?

I dunno. It’s plugged in directly to the modem/router provided by my ISP while my wifi is provided by a separate mesh setup, which is also plugged in to the modem/router 🤷‍♂️

Yea same I don’t even care.

It’s an old laptop, I have a backup. Go ahead, fuck it up.

Oh weird. I had an issue where I couldn’t play Dawn of War II with my brother on windows from my Mac. I solved it by using windows through boot camp, but that’s so lame.

I wonder if it’s the same issue.

I was going to try to host my music on Jellyfin, but I had an issue.

Since 2005 I’ve been curating my music collection with my old iPod that I still use.

I like my albums in release order so, with the iPod in mind, probably 80% of them are named [year] - [album]

Lidarr and Jellyfin won’t find them because of this and I don’t want to manually sort through 2000-some albums.

So I still use my iPod (20 years old next year!)

So many people angry about phones in here. Just let people like what they like. Yeesh.

We have bins around our city for people to drop electronics off for recycling. I’ve taken a few laptops from there. You’re not supposed to, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

One I gave to my buddy who needed something just for emails and web browsing and whatnot, one is running a server, and a couple more went back in to the bin because they were actually broken, but I took the hard drives for the server machine. I have one on a self ready in case the server machine dies so I haven’t gone looking for any new ones in a while.
