I was imagining a “I just wiped my hard drive and flashed the current version of Debian. Let’s get basic services up.”

I wish there was a “hey watch me code/self host” channel that helped noobs see how to approach the problem of starting. Usually their is a “hey watch me code” YouTube that is old enough to have a critical breaking point (some library updated) so a noob finds it impossible.

If you are successful in this, perhaps a twitch channel walking through the basics running on a regular ish basis

The Linux purist is to provide the source code and you download then compile the small files.

Developers and gamers don’t have storage issues so the higher storage size of flapak and the lack of dependency issues (a copy of every library used) make flatpak user friendly enough for normies aka gamers with steamdecks

Economics say that technological advances hurt those displaced for a short period of time but the entire rest of the economy improves and the displaced people are smart enough to find other jobs in the new economy with higher standard of living…

Unless the value created never makes it back to the economy…

Cost of electricity is non zero. Distributed computing between pis might be the most cost effective way (hardware and electricity)

I just saw a link to this

Perhaps your l8nux can cast as well?

I bought the rii remote/controller/keyboard/mouse, a raspberry pi 4 8gb, a 4k micro HDMI, a rpi4 power cord, a 64gb micro SD card, rpi4 case with fan. I then attached it to my TV with some zip ties and a L brace

• I installed rasbian 64bit.
• I installed steam link (have to go to tty command line to have it work though because bullseye doesn’t have previous buster driver support yet
• I installed kodi > Plex addon
• I installed kodi > YouTube addon
• I installed kodi > jellyfin add-on with repository
• I didn’t trust the sketchy “add my repository to download and install”. Disney plus on kodi, so I made a shortcut to the browser with that site
• I made a shortcut to Netflix browser.

It isn’t the same as " any phone controls sound and playback" like a chromcast, but it is private and it is better than Chromecast (higher resolution and framerate, and streams/remotelycontrols local beefy gaming computers) in some ways.

Do you know of a RPI app with a fdroid counterpart that allows clicks from a LAN smartphone?

Did you just get the idea for zapier?

I said this in a different post’s comments about Facebook scraping data:

Can activity pub change it’s terms to say that all crawlers that use this must be gnu open sources and all information crawled must be open to the public on gnu open sources software (no crawling to a private enterprise)?

My understanding is all the big tech companies are scared of what happened with router software (openwrt) and they don’t want to be forced to let competition be a foss community via gnu licensing.

Lol, I am the opposite.

• Teams feels bloated and buggy.
• Zoom is fast, can handle 100+ streams with ease, and allows mods/plugins to extend as far as you want, and
• on zoom you can draw on the other person’s screen while sharing.
• On zoom, when a meeting starts I have a “incoming call sound” so I drop what I am doing and jump on the meeting. (I can’t install on my work compy though… Sigh)

Teams has not implemented those basic features.

Meta is a rebranding to draw attention away from whistleblowers. Universes with people creating and collaborating is called modded videogames with low barriers to coding (Minecraft, Skyrim, etc.). Taking it into VR with vendor lock in is Facebook’s only hope.

The bill requires that manufacturers of electronics and appliances make parts, repair tools, and documentation available to the general public, for devices first sold on or after July 1, 2021. For devices costing between $50 and $99.99, manufacturers must provide repair access for at least three years after the product is no longer manufactured; for those costing more than $100, that number rises to seven years. In its letter, Apple lists a few bill provisions that were crucial for the company’s support, including language that clearly states manufacturers only have to offer the public the same parts, tools, and manuals available to authorized repair partners, and the bill’s exclusive focus on newer devices.

The support is equal to cutting the teeth off the bill.

• all parts for repair have to be through apple
• all repairs need to be done in based on official channel (official software probably because that is “authorized”)
• the bill only applies to new models, and only for the support period of 3 years.

Or some garbage like that that I am missing. The same thing was done when we didn’t want isps to control the net and coined the term “net neutrality” then the isps rebranded it to mean isp controls if you are neutral on the net… Sigh.

Cpp is a misspelling of the acronym Chinese Communist party aka CCP.

A lot of “degoogling” talk has discussed how to degoogled email in a graceful way (Gmail has huge market share). Let me find that community.

Edit: based on that post, you probably want fastmail to selfhost. Now the official API of mail clients is jmap, so it may not be “rest” and you may not be able to find a “reliable” rest api

Edit final: check this out https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_mail_servers And I still don’t know what ones have a rest api.

Most rpi heat sinks have a foam insulator acting as a sticky tape. Remove it and use thermal paste

Baby sounds

Easy noise

Ehh, it could sound that way (green washing). I remember an article from 1 or 2 years ago where Microsoft did a “pilot” test of this and the general consensus is that in a datacenter

• while you fix part a you break part b of the identical server next to it.
• Moore’s law means that every 5 years or so you spend more on electricity and storage than you would for the smaller more efficient hardware
• having 0 human interaction and 0 added dust and 0 oxygen and the ocean at 40 decrees farenheight meant that no additional cooling required. (Maybe some cpu airflow to the external 40° air)

Time (and investments) will tell if this is the solution to costly land based air heat pumps to cool datacenters with human interactions.
