Breakaway charge cable for my phone! They act like those old MagSafe chargers for Mac, and when I’m clumsy, instead of a busted off charge port, no damage! I also have curious cats who can test gravity without wrecking my phone.

I am in school, and make heavy use of Teams and Office, and do just fine in Linux! 365 on the web, Libre Office, and Teams in a Flatpak. My instructors can’t wrap their heads around it. I’m the only one in my program! (IT, no less.)
Amazing! 16 years with Ubuntu, and now I know!
I thought that dogs were boys and cats were girls. No idea why.
Its funny, my niece made it to like 8 thinking that aunts were adults and uncles were kids. She had one young uncle, and me. Called me “Auntie Phanto.” I still haven’t lived it down.
Wait… Someone explain things to me!
This is actually a real problem… A lot of digital documents from the 90’s and early 2000’s are lost forever. Hard drives die over time, and nobody out there has come up with a good way to permanently archive all that stuff.
I am a crazy person, so I have RAID, Ceph, and JBOD in various and sundry forms. Still, drives die.
The two things that popped into my head are Immich and Nextcloud. I think Nextcloud is generally more useful, but Immich is more specifically targeted at Photos. As for how to synchronize it… Syncthing? Personally, I hate setting up Syncthing and so I don’t really use it myself anymore, but once it’s set up, it really does take care of itself. Poke the computer once a month to make sure it’s still alive, and you’re set.
You could probably host Nextcloud at one site and just have a client computer at the next site set to auto sync everything.
Been running NextCloud for a while, not for photos, but for just general Google Drive replacement.
Ditto, except mine just died one day. I put it away for bed, woke up, flipped it open, Nada. Brick. I felt it was a bit slower than I’d like, but got pretty good battery life.
Really tempted to try a Musebook, based on Risc-V, because apparently I’m a sucker for punishment.
Yeah, I did try that. Basically, if I doubled the memory I allocated, I gave it half again longer before it crashed, but it still crashed, eventually.
It’s no big deal, this was last year, I may try again one day. Loving Searxng though!
I tried running yacy for a while but it just ran for a bit less than a day then ran out of memory and crashed, over and over. Tried to figure out the problem, but it’s niche enough that I couldn’t get anywhere googling the issue.
Mid Forties… 20 hour flight. Agony. No sleeping, got up a bunch of times, didn’t stop joint pain, back pain… Ugh. Some people can’t sit still for that long without issues.
I shouldn’t talk because I dip in and out, but I do that because I like the possibilities. Like, what if someone comes up with a concept, but no one tries it, and it turns out to really work? Like, I like immutability as a concept, so I’ve tried Silverblue, Kinoite, and Bazzite. If nobody gave it a go, then the concept would die on the vine.
Also, I like seeing different ways of thinking about technology.
My local library has a tech mentors program where you teach people how to work computers. I do it once every two weeks. It makes me feel like a rock star every time I go. If you’re on Lemmy, you’re qualified.
Changed everything for me!
Also looks good on a resume.
I have dyndns, have since they were 10$ a year, and I’ve gradually realized that my ISP changes my IP on average less than once a year…

I have a thumb drive with Mint Mate installed on it and it runs fine on a 4gb i5 - 3rd gen.
I have it working with LaCP’d 4gb networking for the transfers. Five nodes. I agree though, It’s a beast on RAM.
I have tried a couple of Proxmox clusters, one with overkill specs and one with little Mini PCs. Proxmox does eat up a fair amount of memory, but I have used it with Ceph for live migrations. Its really useful to me to be able to power off a machine, work on it, then bring it back up, and have no interruptions in my services. That said, my Mini PCs always seemed to be hurting for RAM. So that’s my pros and cons.
I own the remake, and I actually had a fan site for it… And got to interview John Freaking Carpenter for that fan site, as he did the music for Sentinel Returns. It was exactly as awesome as it sounds.
Does it give you anything? Can you select safe mode or nomodeset from the grub menu, or do you get no grub menu at all? I almost pulled the trigger on a used getac system a while back, but couldn’t justify the cost. If you get it working, please tell me how it goes under Linux!
