No wonder coal as a fossil fuel isn’t going away. The rich folk get so much during Christmas!

Which keyboard app do you use on your phones? Do you enable clipboard history in it? in c/[email protected]
[–] damnthefilibuster 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Microsoft Swiftkey no matter what mobile device I’m on (iOS or android). It has a very forgiving autocorrect and great memory. It’s super crashy whenever a new iOS update comes along. But they fix it real fast.

Can you please “installing applications and finding files splattered all over the file system”, please kind person?

How does Linux do it better?

Shouldn’t they just be called Terranauts? Or Subterranauts?

Mastodon sees a boost from the 'X exodus,' too, founder says in c/news
[–] damnthefilibuster 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It matters because a lot of mastodon instances are blocking bluesky access because bluesky is already playing unfair wrt API access and the data they pull, afaik.

So many people on alt-instances will just never see bluesky and thus end up joining BS as well. (Oh, is that not what bluesky’s short name is?)

Why is no one talking about how unproductive it is to have verify every "hallucination" ChatGPT gives you? in c/[email protected]

What are you talking about? I don’t verify anything that ChatGPT gives me.

Meta Opens Its AI Models for the (U.S.) Military in c/technology

lol someone was concerned about the Chinese military using Meta’s AI models and now the company has opened its models for US military use. Hypocrisy runs high in this timeline.

Omnivore Alternatives? [SOLVED FOR ME] in c/selfhosted
[–] damnthefilibuster 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I agree with others that you need to break down these requirements into multiple apps. I use FreshRSS for feeds and it has a bunch of mobile app integrations.

And the most recent update of Linkwarden seems to have a ton of features that might be worth your while, including PDF, screenshot, and Readable caching.

ChatGPT has literally devolved into "let me google that for you" in c/[email protected]
[–] damnthefilibuster 2 points 1 month ago

I’m trying out Perplexity and it’s literally LMGTFY. To the point that sometimes I just open google.com to get what I need. Sometimes it’s just me being lazy and searching for a domain instead of typing “.com” at the end.

But here’s the thing- for the longest time, google was devolving into LMGTFY too. Don’t you think?

Good way to send small messages between devices ? in c/[email protected]
[–] damnthefilibuster 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yup. That's my one hangup. Except you don't even need to install Dropbox. It just uses the Dropbox API (correct me if I'm wrong please).

The developer is a single(?) person based out of Germany and is pretty chill. I didn’t know it had Ubuntu and all support till after using it for a long time. I literally would use it just for iOS to Mac and back.

Adblock and VPN all in one? (self.selfhosted)
 

I love PiHole. I've used it in the past and it was powerful! I also use an OpenVPN/Wireguard based VPN.

So is there a service that combines the two features? Lets me import adblock lists and also VPN configurations?

Preferably something that runs in a docker container that I can throw upon portainer and running within minutes!

Thanks!

Question about playing Palia on Steam Deck (self.steamdeck)
 

So, I installed Palia on Steam Deck. First, it failed to start till I chose to run it with Proton Experimental.

Then, the problem I’m running into - I want to log into my account. But every time I select the email/username field and then bring up the Steam virtual keyboard, the form field loses focus. That means I’m typing and nothing is getting typed.

How do I fix this? Is the only option to use an external physical keyboard?

Steam Deck vs that Asus thingy (self.steamdeck)
 

I just saw the ASUS handheld in the wild. It was running some FPS game pretty well.

Can anyone help me compare the two - Steam Deck OLED vs comparable ASUS version? Which do you prefer? Pros/cons?

I’m almost decided to buy the Deck OLED, but seeing that in the wild made me pause. It looks nice.

Which steam deck (self.steamdeck)
 

Hey folks, I wanna gift a steam deck to myself. The main games I’ll (infrequently) play on there are CS:Go and age of empires 2 HD, both of which I own and never get a chance to play on a regular PC.

I suppose I want the OLED one. Is it ok to go for the 64 GB version or should I go for the higher storage tier? It has expandable storage yeah? Or is that not reliable or fast enough?

Also, what’s going on with the pricing? It’s just obviously better to buy direct. Why are people trying to sell it on Amazon? I get people trying to sell on eBay and Craigslist but Amazon? What’s the deal there?

What's wrong with using cloudflared? (self.selfhosted)
 

I read a comment on here some time ago where the person said they were using cloudflared to expose some of their self-hosted stuff to the Internet so they can access it remotely.

I am currently using it to expose my RSS feed reader, and it works out fine. I also like the simplicity of Cloudflare's other offerings.

Any thoughts on why cloudflared is not a good idea? What alternatives would you suggest? How easy/difficult are they to setup?

How to keep checks on a 14 TB external? (self.pcmasterrace)
 

Hey folks!

I have a WD easystore 14 TB External HDD connected to my Plex server (running on windows 11).

I am using about 4 TB of it, but not for anything truly important. It’s storing plex media mostly.

I’d like to use it for storing memories. But how do I trust it?

What are good tools for me to keep a check on the drive so that I can hopefully get enough warning when it starts losing sectors?

I have some tool installed based on recommendations online and I started a “surface test” of the disk and it said it’ll take a measly 300 hours. Not ideal.

Replacement for Docker Desktop on Windows? (self.selfhosted)
 

Folks, I have a node.js script running on my Windows machine that uses the dockerode npm package to talk to docker on said box and starts and kills docker containers.

However, after the containers have been killed off, docker still holds on to the memory that it blocked for those containers and this means downstream processes fail due to lack of RAM.

To counter this, I have powershell scripts to start docker desktop and to kill docker desktop.

All of this is a horrid experience.

On my Mac, I just use Colima with Portainer and couldn't be happier.

I've explored some options to replace Docker Desktop and it seems Rancher Desktop is a drop-in replacement for Docker Desktop, including the docker remote API.

  1. Is this true? Is Rancher Desktop that good of a drop-in replacement?
  2. Does Rancher Desktop better manage RAM for containers that have been killed off? Or does it do the same thing as Docker Desktop and hold on to the RAM?

Are there other options which I'm not thinking of which might solve my problems? I've seen a few alternatives but haven't tried them yet - moby,
containerd,
podman

I don't actually need the Docker Desktop interface. So pure CLI docker would also just work. How are you all running pure docker on Windows boxes?

Self-hosted GitHub alternative? (self.selfhosted)
 

Folks,

I'm looking for a self-hosted GitHub alternative that I can just plop into Portainer as a docker-compose and get working.

My main interest is in something that sort of works with GitHub - if there's a way I can pull repos from GitHub into this self-hosted git using a webUI and maybe even push my changes to repos on GitHub, that would be nice. I'm not hard-and-fast on this though as this is mostly an experiment right now and I don't know why I need this.

What are you folks using to host your super secret local code and why?
