Vouching syncthing. Easily synced 2TB files between three computers.

The maintenance part crushed me. Most of my other self hosted home setup, I fiddle with at most 2-3 times a year. Next cloud, I logging in at least once a month because something wasn’t working.

Thanks for sharing that. My job set up NextCloud for cloud sharing and I thought it was pretty cool. Tried to set it up at home for sharing on a home network with my family and felt really confused. Every week there was a new problem that I had to solve and ended up going back just network drives and sharing.

How likely are you to recommend Lemmy to a friend or colleague? Give a score from 1 to 10.

That’s a way better community! Thanks for the recommendation!

This is it.

The games community in lemmy.world is a bunch of folks advertising their indie game or YouTube stream. Usually a few comments here and there.

The games community on lemmy.ml is a bunch of folks sharing gaming journalism. Pretty active.

In 2020 (?) joined that Google One program where the promise was you pay a monthly fee and every two years, you get a new Pixel phone “for free”. Not the latest, but last gens model. It looked really good on paper.

I’m cheap. I did the math and it cost less to do this than buy used from Swappa. And knowing Google’s awful track record for customer service and killing products, I joined fully aware to keep my expectations low.

After 2 years, I was eligible for an upgrade. And the program changed. It was no longer a monthly fee, but pay $500 for a new phone. And worse, that Google phone died two months after the warranty ended. Google wanted to charge me $300 to repair the phone.

If you buy anything Google, keep your expectations down. Like really down.

In typical Valve fashion… They’ll keep slowly working at cool things while their competitors continue to shoot themselves in the foot.

Microsoft’s latest wtf with forced AI and screenshots of a user’s daily usage is pretty terrifying from a privacy standpoint, not to mention the forced technical upgrade. Companies are even switching to Linux now, which will drive adoption.

Chaotic good

Linux is roughly at 3.88% market share. You don’t think we can bump Linux adoption to 99.9% in the next six months?

We just have to keep writing these “Year of the Linux” posts every year.

In some towns, these yokels will stop in the middle of the street to wave you to jaywalk.

Like Jesus Christ, NOOO! Stop being polite!

Stupid question:

What is the commercial comparison? Like vine/Instagram video/YouTube shorts?

I’m old and I don’t understand how those social media platforms above work but I’m willing to figure it out to add content to the fediverse.

Looking forward to the “when I wrote this code, only god and I knew how it works. Now only god knows” comments.

Mines doesn’t go dim enough. It’s still glowing, compared to a blue light eye app I used.

That was me with PHP a decade ago. I was moving towards it as everyone was moving to JavaScript.

And honestly I’m gaining an appreciation for it all.

We’re you thinking like Doom Lan party, or some weird supercluster with the pure focus of running Doom?

Those gaming Chromebooks are so wild. I saw them for $1000!

The ones I saw a year ago was bragging about playing mobile games and Google Stadia.

But like… Why! Why spend that much when the alternatives are so much better?

When web apps took off a decade ago, I was secretly rooting for this.

OSes shouldnt matter anymore. Everything should funnel through a browser. WASM is already bringing traditional desktop apps to the web. Microsoft and Apple can die in a fire.

But with the migration, now the fight is to stop Google from owning browsers.

Oh wow I did not know that.

That’s absolutely terrifying. Like resetting the speedometer for used cars.

In corporations, we call that job security.

Just rewriting the same thing in different ways for little gain except to say we did it
